I'm looking for Action Adventure recommendations, aka "Zelda Clone" games, right now I'm interested in the SNES ones.

In SNES I have already played Alttp obviously, also Soul Blazer/Illusion of Time/Terranigma, Alcahest and recently Brain Lord.

I am also interested in game recommendations from this genre for the Gameboy and Gameboy Advance, since these are consoles that I have played very little.

(I already played a lot of Action Adventures for the Sega consoles; Story of Thor, Sylvan Tale, Landstalker, Crusader of Centy ..., but maybe you can mention an unknown one from there)

Maybe this chart helps. It's not curated (at least the version I have here, might be others) but maybe it can point you in the right direction.

Most of the stuff I was going to recommend for GB is already on here. Rolan's Curse (2 over 1), Runes of Virtue (1 over 2) and Ninja Taro, so I guess I'll just add Dragon Slayer Gaiden.

Stuff that's already on the list that are really great in particular are Grand Master for NES. Golden Axe Warrior on Master System, and Landstalker on the Mega Drive (I guess the list is missing Ladystalker for SNES)

Typically action adventure games are top-down but Demon's Crest is essentially one of them except side scrolling.

missing Blood Gear on PC Engine CD

the most explicit "Zelda 2" like game by Westone, brilliant game but isn't translated

the few who play it usually say it's one of the best 16-bit games, bar none

there is no need to state that you want an adventure game on SNES, since genesis havent got any adventure games worth shit.
