This new Zelda-like indie is literally A Link to the Past
Not that we're complaining
Airoh🃏eart iไs a new Zelda-inspired indie out today that's giving fans of A Link to the Past some serious déjà vu.
Look, I love pretty much all 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:games like Zelda; I played one ♑starriꦜng a brave Concord grape last year and absolutely loved it. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Wo🥂rld of Anterra looks like SNES Skyrim and it's been getting a ton of well-deserved attention lately. There's nothing wrong with taking a time-tested and ꧙well-loved template and doing your own thing with it.
Now that being said, this Airoheart looks a-freaking-lot like A Link to the Past.
Developer Pixel Heart isn't shy about naming its inspirations. A Link to the Past is mentioned three time𒁃s in Airoheart's , its core gameplay elements being described as "closely resembling" Link's SNES adventure. The game's trailer even brings in a live-action actor and retro TV to mimic the old 16-bit era commercials of yesteryear. Pixel Heart says its storytelling is inspired by the Final Fantasy series, but it's pretty clear which game served as the primary influence.
That's not to say Zelda fans won't have a good with it! It's clear that the enchanted world of Engard and its titular hﷺero were lovingly crafted, and if the exploration and puzzle-solving elements are a fraction as compelling as a mainline Zelda game, I'm all in. The game made the rounds on a few months ago and folks mostly seemed to feel the same way. Yes, it looks exactly like A Link to the Past, and yes, I want to play it right now.
Airoheart is out now on PlayStati♑on, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

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 fin⭕ish.
