Looks kinda badass. The whole create your own dude thing, even if he's missing an animation, reminds me of something similar to PC style RPGmaker.

The game looks sick, but that title is pretty bad.

A shame that the gameplay seems to be pretty much just a straight copy of Legend of Zelda because the faux Zelda music and the art style look brilliant.

This is such a rip off of Zelda! I thought Sony were the anti-nintendo and now they got motion control and a very crappy version of Zelda

I don't care how blatant it is, any game that mimics Zelda is a must-play in my book.

Yeah, the huge sword action is enough to turn me off from playing this game. Normal sized weapons for me. Thanks.

Not to be a Wii-Basher, but I'm not sure that the Wii could handle rendering every single voxel independently like this. Only a 360 ro PS3 (Sigh... OR PC) can handle something like this. "
Well no, you're probably right, I was just pointing out this looks like something someone at Nintendo would dream up. =p

It's not at all funny. There's clearly a significant difference between this game and Dante's Inferno: 3D Dot Game Heroes is a loving homage to a retro game style that hasn't been in vogue for a long time - its prime appeal is nostalgia. Dante's Inferno, however, is a very obvious clone of a superior current competitor, in an already overcrowded genre.

Finally! Another game where I can be killed by chickens!
 
But it looks pretty slick, all Zelda-things included. Customization is always a plus in my book.

It kind of did at first. I came around though. It's more depressing if anything. Even though this game is pretty much NES Zelda it feels like a fresh take on Zelda more so than recent real Zelda games. Plus a little self aware game humor sounds good right about now.
