This Nostalgic Zelda-Like Is A Delightful Love Letter To Gaming

The Plucky Squire’s inventive puzzle-platforming looks to the past and future of the medium

Do you remember the first game you fell in love with? For me it was The Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time. Some of my earliest memories are of sitting in front of a small CRT TV set up in the living room watching my brother run through the fields of Hyrule. Before even getting the controller in my own hands, Ocarina of Time began what would become a life-long love of the medium.

An early boss fight turns into a boxing match straight out of Punch-Out!! complete with dodging, jabbing, and uppercuts. A more stealth-based section late in the game seems to pull from a much more recent title, requiring you to navigate a short dungeon while moving to the beat a la 2015’s Crypt of the NecroDancer. I won’t spoil every send-up for you but know that the list is long, and each one is clearly made with love.
