Charming little Zelda clone that offers exactly that experience again, but with enough to offer at least a moderately unique experience that doesn't feel like just A Second Link to the Past, though that would probably have been fine too. If you agree that there aren't enough indie Zelda clones, you'll be happy with this one.
Special mention to one of the most clever and fun new little ideas I've seen in a while, and one of the dumbest.
Fun idea: the game is a story told by a grandpa to his kids, and the narration, from both gramps and kids, plays over the game and the kids even get to interrupt the story and change it at points, with the best such moments offering the player a choice of what happens next. Excellent idea!
Dumbest idea: the game has a traveling salesman that offers some forgettable loot, but that isn't the problem. No, the developers for some utterly baffling reason decided that his presence should be time-gated, locked to your device's clock, and he is only available between the hours of 9AM and 5PM. Really, 9-to-5? When 99% of your playerbase is at work? That is just remarkably stupid.
