    Default Zelda clones - your fave?

    Out of the various clones of Zelda (success breeds imitation is nowhere more true than video gaming) which are your favorites?

    My nomination for a game that is more Zelda-like than Zelda is Golden Axe Warrior for the Sega Master System.

    (Neutopia 1 and 2 are probably right behind GAW.)

    My vote goes to neutopia. that game was crazy fun. the only flawto neutopia was its god awful lengthy password system. If neutopia had the same system as zelda it would be pretty evenly matched in my book. Neutopia is prolly my favorite turbo grafx game to date.

    I would say Willow (nes). It has so many Zelda-like elements such as the view, dungeon crawling, lots of different items to help get to different areas of the game. It also did it very well. The thing is, though, that it doesn't feel like a Zelda clone. It feels like a brand new game that doesn't take any ideas from Zelda.

    A tad easy, but good Zelda fun on the Genesis.

    Hmm, I guess my favorite would be Landstalker. I know its not exackly like Zelda, but it reminds me of why I love the Legend of Zelda series so much. My second nod would have to go to Neutopia. I had the patience to finish the first one back in the day, but I never really got into part II because the password was even longer.

    But then the question is: "Zelda clones thread clones - your fave?"

    Personally, I like the first one you linked to best since it's the one I posted in.

    Speaking of which, who else is totally excited about the DS releases for Ys Books 1 & 2 that got announced recently? Apparently there's going to be an attack button now (which will make the games feel even more Zelda-like, I suppose) and they'll be released as separate games and both full priced, but there's supposed to be lots of new stuff added including multiplayer and I'm betting on some really lush new graphics and everything. I can't wait.

    Willow for NES. I wish it had a battery save, though.

    Check out the new N64 Rumble Pak. See how it feels to feel what you see.

    Do the Ys games count as Zelda clones?

    I haven't played enough of them to really have a favorite, but I like Golden Axe Warrior and Terranigma a lot more than any of the 2D Zelda games. I find the actual 2D Zelda games boring and primitive.

    I'm not a big Zelda fan, but I do rather like Golvellius on the SMS, and I gather that's kind of a Zelda clone
