So far, I feel like the intent of the creators was to make a game that pays tribute to Zelda and other classic video games, but I’m not sure it does enough to stand out as its own thing. They’re definitely entitled to their opinion and those who feel that this is simply a Legend of Zelda rip-off may not be too far from the truth.
There are bound to be Nintendo fans who will hate this game on principle. Also, to save yourself some time, buy a candle before you enter that second temple. I can say though that the first temple is fun, but the second temple so far is notably more difficult than the first.
I’m only on the second temple, so I can’t go too into detail about specifics.
Besides your trusty sword, there are a number of items and weapons that will appear all to familiar to Zelda players. As a game, this plays essentially like A Link to the Past. The story revolves around collecting key items from a certain number of temples, another common Zelda trope. Tweak a few notes here and there and you probably match the 3D Dot Game Heroes overworld theme with the Legend of Zelda theme. 3D Dot Game Heroes tows the line very closely between homage and plagiarism when it comes to its music, story and gameplay. The graphics aren’t the only element to be taken from the Legend of Zelda series. Even with the horsepower driving the visuals, the game still manages to capture the 8-bit charm. In motion, everything seems to move like the original Legend of Zelda did, too. Graphically, 3D Dot Game Heroes takes the 8-bit pixelated look and fleshes it out into 3D to create extremely striking visuals. If you are looking for a ‘new-retro’ Legend of Zelda game, this is it. As a fan of the Zelda series, watching the trailer for 3D Dot Game Heroes was the moment that made me say, “I want a Playstation 3.” For better or worse, this game is a 3D version of the original Legend of Zelda with elements of A Link to the Past mixed in, pixels and all. It should only take an instant for a gamer seeing this for the first time to recognize the influence behind 3D Dot Game Heroes.
