I think it is doing this game a disservice to call it a Zelda clone. It is a Zelda style game but has very few puzzles. It is basically a study in game design where you ask the question: What if Zelda was all about the combat? It's not to say the world isn't fun to explore but the game revolves around a satisfying combat loop that requires skill but also teaches you the skills you will need very competently. Normally I would think it sounds like a bad idea but the game design is so good that it works very well.
