#31. 3D Dot Game Heroes (PS3, 2010)
What an absolute treat this game was. I always found the original Legend of Zelda to be too chaotic as far as knowing what the hell to do or where the hell to go. That being, the first time I ever tried that game was on the Gamecube Zelda collectors edition disc that I think came free with Nintendo Power? I guess people back in the day either had more patience to figure out what to do, where to drop the bombs with no visual clue, or what the stuff even did. That or they used well, Nintendo Power. But I wasnt about to go step by step with a walkthrough. But I still loved the idea of that game, as I do with all Zelda games.

3D Dot Game Heroes gives you all the feel of that original Zelda, but its the form of that game I actually wanted to play. Maybe that should be Link to the Past as the one thats closer comparison, but it at least makes me think of OG Zelda more and I think thats all in the art style and finding caves with people who will tell you random probably helpful stuff. The game looks FANTASTIC. Everything is made of pixels, and by that, I mean little Lego-like blocks that physics around as you attack and destroy enemies or objects. The game feel here is absolutely top notch. It has all the standard weapons and such youd want out of your standard Zelda game, but this time, the sword special full healthpower is having a really big-ass sword. If you have ever played the Flash game (RIP) Ginormo Sword, the sword mechanics are similar to that. You can buy one of several base swords with different shapes, and you can pay to grow the swords length or width. Only at full health, your sword will keep these properties, and by the end of the game you can have a big-ass sword that takes up the whole screen. I love that stuff.

One thing that stands out in this game too is in trying to 100% it, you need to collect all enemies in the Bestiary. The way you capture an enemy in the Bestiary is you have to literally beat the enemy WITH the physical Bestiary, a book-like weapon. Including the bosses! And its not a particularly strong weapon, so you really have to use a lot of cunning in staying alive, and getting in closer to the boss than you may be comfortable with. I enjoyed the game enough to also get the trophy for Spelunker mode, which is one-hit KO mode. That was a fun experience. Theres also a great number of quests and mini-games.

But again, the main thing here for me is it has all the great design of Link to the Past, in an original LOZ
style game feel, and looks absolutely phenomenal with its 3d-boxy-pixel graphics. Its been a long time since I played this game so I do not recall many of the game specifics, but I remember loving every second of it and it truly being the classic-style Zelda game I had been waiting for. I wish to play it again sometime soon in a remaster!! Oh! And theres character customization if youre into that so you can play as Mega Man or Cloud or whatever strikes your fancy if you can design it. Also also, I thought it was really neat this game was made by FROM, creators of Dark Souls/Bloodborne!
