This isn’t the first game where you play as Zelda.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda_CD-i_games
Can we just pretend that it is…
Absolutely not. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
The CD-i Zelda games had a really fun charm to them. Someone made a really fun homage to them, called Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore, and it's a sweet love letter of a game, complete with crudely hand-drawn cut scenes with confusing perspectives. The developer is "Seedy Eye", or... y'know... CD-i. ;)
You do get the sense that someon was actually trying on the CD-i games. There was an attempt to do a thing.
Super fair take, haha
Does Spirit Tracks and Phantom Zelda count?
Wow, today I learned. Nintendo is pretty protective of its IP, so it’s nuts that these were allowed to be made by another company in the first place.
