The Apple Arcade game that looks a lot like Zelda: Skyward Sword is coming to Switch

The very Zelda-like Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm is leaving Apple Arcade-exclusivity and coming to Nintendo Swit♛ch this Fall.

Released in 2019 exclusively on Apple's gaming subscription service, Oceanhorn 2 is an unabashed Zelda clone, but one that's been generally well-received.  It's not ꦅas if Finnish studio Cornfox & Bros. tries to hide Oceanhorn 2's influences - your hearts are displayed in the upper left corner, you gets health by breaking pots and slashing through grass, the hero wears tights and a tunic, and well, just look at it:

To my eyes, the environments look remarkably similar to 2011's Zelda: Skyward Sword, but gameplay-wise Oceanhorn 2 is more often compa💙red to Breath of the Wild. Again, that's not a knock on the game - I ac🌄tually think it looks really charming and I'll probably give it a try when it comes to Switch.

): "Oceanh🀅orn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm is a game made by Nintendo fans, for Nintendo fans. We've been able to create something new from the strong background that we established with our previous game, Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas, and Oceanhorn 2 is our love letter to the games that we grew up with, combining that beloꦿved nostalgia with exciting new mechanics to give it an original spin."

Oceanheart 2 isn't the first game to take some creative inspiration from Nintendo's Hylian hero - here are the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:games like Zelda we most recommend.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer🌱 in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
