Project

I'm a fan of the freedom offered by Zelda 1, where you're dropped into a map full of monsters with only one piece of advice: "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this!"

Despite its difficulty, I love the technical and precise gameplay of Zelda 2. Unfortunately, too few games have built upon what Zelda 2 achieved at the time.

Like many others, I was captivated by Zelda: Breath of the Wild, particularly by its climbing-based movement system, which offers great freedom of exploration. I decided to combine the structure of Zelda 1, the gameplay of Zelda 2, and the freedom of movement from Breath of the Wild, mixing them together in my own way in this game, which I hope you'll enjoy!


Planned for the full version 

  • Paid game (low price) 
  • Available on Steam and Itch.io for PC, Playstore for Android Mobile 
  • Language: English only, but the game will have very little text (menu and introduction available in the demo) 
  • The demo represents the beginning of the final game
  • Inspired by Gameboy and Zelda (especially Zelda 2) 
  • Quest composed of 7 dungeons. First on Demo, 5 central dungeons and one final dungeon Each of the 5 dungeons will have a different core mechanic 
  • Between 16 and 20 new enemies 
  • During the quest, you will encounter a different boss in each dungeon (7 boss in total) 
  • Between 7 and 9 dreams telling the story of our hero throughout the quest

I just played the demo today and was already sold on the game. The gameplay and movement system is overall very sold!  I love the different attack options you have integrated, such as the ability to attack upwards and crouching and even the iconic down thrustfrom Zelda 2. I also like how the hovering mechanic is integrated into how the player can allow the player to either hover safely or instantly cancel into a fast fall as they are landing. Honestly, there is a lot more that I can say about how  I have enjoyed this game so far. Keep up the great work! 

Thank you so much for your comment! The development is progressing well (•ө• ) 

I hope it would be completed. Good luck 🥰

Thank you for your comment! Development is still ongoing and progressing well (•ө• )

walk east simulator :-)

I hope it's a good walking simulator :'(

Great polish on this! Good game design, introducing players to challenges one at a time, and I like how the experience points are gathered not always from enemies, but are placed generally in a challenging area, that's a really cool idea! Cool and well paced project!

I thank you for your wonderful comment! Glad that you like the project (•ө• )
