Hmm... Haven't heard that name before, but the game looks familiar for some reason!

Nowak94 · Aug 15, 2016

At first I was skeptical cause of how similar the attire was to Link's and then the trailer's art kinda blew me away.

It's been on mobile platforms for quite a long time

So it is the Zelda inspired game which looks a lot like WW? Or is that another game?

Well, aesthetically it's not similar to Wind Waker, but otherwise yes.

Kuraudo · Aug 15, 2016

Nearly picked this up a few times on iOS. Might grab it on PS4 if the price is right.

jdstorm · Aug 15, 2016

Stopped playing this game on mobile when I reached the final boss.

This might be a good reason to double dip

Please don't be that person who compares this game to wind waker. This game is 5 years old and it's been done to death

dock · Aug 15, 2016

It's such a huge shame that games like this can't have the courage to lean away from their source of 'inspiration', so they will always come over as cheap knock-offs. The game is so lacking in character.

I've played some of this on iOS and it seems to be a really nice take on grid-based zelda gameplay. It has more in common with the DS Zeldas than anything. It definitely suffers from a lack of polish in some interactions though.

Tohsaka · Aug 15, 2016

Played like half of it on PC, never got around to finishing it. I had no idea it was coming to PS4.

The trailer doesn't even show the Zelda 'inspired' HUD!

What? Terrible Wind Waker rip off mobile game comes to consoles. All I can think is: why? Who's this for?

Triggerhappytel · Aug 15, 2016

I always want more games to take inspiration from Zelda (although this does lean a little too close), so I will check this out.

That's OK. There are few Zelda clones these days anyway so one good Zelda clone is a good news for people hungry for that kind of games.

I just noticed Dink's wearing a skirt.

I just don't think it's a good one.

Canadian · Aug 15, 2016

I'm curious to play it. I've always enjoyed Zelda games and I'd definitely like to encourage more of these type of games.

CrimsonSquall · Aug 15, 2016

This works for like Vita, makes no sense on consoles but ight

Conduit · Aug 15, 2016

September 7th? So, Neo version confirmed.

Possumowner · Aug 15, 2016

Actually enjoyed this on PC,not a bad little game

Makes perfect sense for me. I want more games like this on the big screen, since tiny consoles like Vita hurts my hands.

Never understood this idea that certain games should only be on handhelds.

crimilde · Aug 15, 2016

Read that as Oceanborn, and Nightwish immediately started playing in my head.

On another note, the game looks cute. I'll keep an eye out for it.

MrFixIt · Aug 15, 2016

It was a decent game on mobile. The movement speed left a lot to be desired but I think I'll still check out the console release.

Parsnip · Aug 15, 2016

So they got Uematsu's and Ito's contributions back for the console release it seems?
PC version didn't have the handful of tracks they did, on launch at least. No idea if they ever added those back in with a patch.

I beat it on iPad and yeah, it's remarkably average, perhaps less than that.

see5harp · Aug 15, 2016

This game is not good. Don't buy it.

u_neek · Sep 6, 2016

Anybody knows when this is coming to the EU PSN stores? They usually update on Tuesdays, don't they?

klier · Sep 6, 2016

It looks like a TWW knock off with ugly art style really.....

hongcha · Sep 6, 2016

One of my favorite games from recent years. I played it on ipad, looking forward to playing it again with a controller on a big screen.

Triggerhappytel · Sep 7, 2016

So, this is out today. Worth it for a fan of Zelda? Is it an isometric viewpoint?

rackham · Sep 7, 2016

Vita would have made more sense since this was a mobile game imo.

I'd like to see HORN brought to consoles too. Mobile has some interesting stuff

Steveo · Sep 7, 2016

Game looks so much like Zelda if you told me it was a Zelda spinoff i'd believe it.

But it still looks good, i'll give it a try.

The PC versions highly acclaimed, so wouldn't think twice about it.

User 479360 · Sep 7, 2016

I hadn't heard of this game until I saw it on a release list, and decided to dive in today. I'm going to start it tonight.

Here's hoping it's as good as it looks and is acclaimed to be.

Caffeine · Sep 7, 2016

this game was pretty cool on pc

User 479360 · Sep 8, 2016

Was it hard? With lots of puzzles?

fernoca · Sep 8, 2016

Got it on Xbox One, and so far so great. It is literally what I wanted. Triforce Heroes and A Link Between Worlds left me wanting a Zelda game like that (or similar) but in HD; and this is it.

Was also pleased that the sailing is automatic. You just discover areas of the map talking and exploring around islands and then you choose it and you travel thete.

I started it tonight as well, and am about an hour and a half into it. I just beat the first boss on

Bomb Island

and got the bombs. Not long after that, I stopped playing for the night due to being tired.

I like what I've played so far. It's mostly what I expected, and is a good game. There's nothing I don't like about it, but I kind of wish the sailing was user-controlled because it's weird having it automatic. At least you can shoot.

TsuWave · Sep 8, 2016

looks great, wish i could play this on my vita. actually when i bought my vita this is the type of game i envisioned would be coming out for it

i think i'll buy it on my ps4 but would've enjoyed this more if it was on a handheld

That's fair. I get that. It's too bad it's not coming to Vita.

Not really, it was casual mobile game after all. Maybe just one optional island is little more harder, than the rest.

Good to know, thanks.

I played for 2-3 more hours just now, and am liking it still. More than I did at first, to be honest. It's very derivative of Zelda, but it's a neat little game.

I got the first seal from the plant boss, explored some, went to the water island and now am going to the outpost to get something to help with the heat of the fire cave.

RootCause · Sep 9, 2016

Glad they decided to bring it to consoles. Already have it on mi iPad. I'll gladly buy it again.

Can't wait for the sequel.

How far would you say I am? The map says 16% completed, but I doubt that's just for the story.
