Zelda's Adventure

ZELDA'S ADVENTURE

And now for the final Zelda game of the Phillips CDi, this time developed by Viridis, and, in my opinion, the worst of the three if only for the fact that the other two had "so bad they're good" cutscenes the internet has come together to laugh at. Zelda's Adventure is just a top-down game set against a bland gray landscape where you can barely tell what's going on half the time, with a few random live action cutscenes here and there.

Zelda is our playable character again this time, working to rescue Link from, ahem, "Gannon." Her main weapon is a wand that she uses to cast various spells. These spells include: throwing a boomerang, shooting a bow and arrow, throwing a sword, throwing a dagger, swinging a mallet, jousting with a lance, swinging a club, and throwing an axe (ah, yes, "spells") but also summoning whirlwinds, shooting flames, shooting feathers, firing gold, green, and blue sparkles, firing a wave of sound, and creating a wall of flames (non-quotational spells).

Besides Zelda, Link is our "damsel in distress" of sorts, while the wizard Gaspra and the old woman Shurmak act as Zelda's guides and mentors. There are a number of other random NPCs scattered throughout, all mostly appearing in live-action cutscenes.

"Gannon" acts as your main villain, with a pretty basic boss fight. His bosses include the ogre Llort, the wolfman Pasquinade, the giant bird Aviana, the grim reaper-like Malmord, the blob Agwanda, the bear Ursore, and the dragon Warbane, with minibosses including the goblin Sardak, a disturbing-looking Pols Voice, a cloud called Vapora, a Sea Monster, a swamp creature called Kelpie, Knights, and an archer named Maxus.

As for enemies, Bago-Bagos, Deelers, Gibdos, Goriyas, Iron Knuckles, Keese, Lanmolas, Leevers, Moblins, Octoroks, Peahats, Stalfos, Zoras, Tektites, Wallmasters, Wizzrobes, Vires, and Zols all appear and are practically unrecognizable unless you're looking at a Wiki that says that's what they are.

This game had actual dungeons to it, as opposed to its predecessors, including the Shrine of Earth, the Shrine of Illusion, the Shrine of Air, the Shrine of Destiny, the Shrine of Water, the Shrine of Strength, and the Shrine of Fire.

Anyway, that should be about it. Here's what we've got so far:

Tingle: fight cloud, money management, fireworks, make maps, fly with balloons, drop bombs, cook, shovel, bat, stretch and leap, rupee blast, baseball, slingshot, rope, train car, scary face

Tingle's companions (Kakashi, Buriki, and Lion): crawl, pick things up, get thrown, carried by crows, scan, connect to electricity, trip, lift bell, knock tree over, pick vegetables, slingshot, scary face, seeds, train car?

Gwonam

Gaspra/Shurmak: I think my current working concept is to work in representation for these games into the movesets of the TV versions of Link, Zelda, and maybe King Harkinian, since they seem to be drawing a lot of inspiration from that show.
