The Legend of Zelda series inspires tons of indie games every year. They just don’t usually draw inspiration from the bad ones. That’s exactly what we get with Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore, a new indie that draws inspiration from Zelda’s infamous Philips CD-i era.
During Limited Run Games’ third annual showcase, Seedy Eye Software and Limited Run revealed Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore, an “animated adventure” game inspired by Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon that will be released later this year years . If you don’t know about Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon, they are two infamously terrible The Legend of Zelda games that Nintendo officially licensed for Philips CDs. These side-scrolling adventure games played terribly and featured ugly animated cutscenes with terrible voice acting. You’ve probably seen some memes featuring characters and animations from these games. Because of how bad they are, these titles aren’t really what most developers look to for inspiration. The developers of Arzetta did, however. Arzette | LRG3 Reveal Trailer Its reveal trailer shows the titular princess embarking on a quest to defeat an evil being named Daimur. It’s a 2D action platformer that looks like those two CD Zelda games, albeit one that looks a little more fun to play. Its similarities to The Faces of Evil and The Wand of Gamelon become unavoidable during cutscenes, as the characters, animation, and voice acting look like they came straight out of those games. Overall, the Limited Runs Games Showcase where this reveal was going wild, with remasters announced for classic games Jurassic Park, Gex, Clock Tower, Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties, Tomba! and more. While we see odes to bad movies with movies like The Disaster Artist and Ed Wood, we don’t see it nearly as often with bad games. That should make Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore enjoyable and scary (in a good way) when it hits PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam in 2023.
