Hob
Scurge: Hive
Blossom Tales
Hyper Light Drifter
Dark Savior
Costume Quest
Landstalker
Ladystalker

Some of these are closer to what you describe than others, and some are more isometric than top-down, but if I think of more I'll post them.

I mean, it's more or less implied by the mention of a top-down perspective, likely as a whole rather than parts. 3D games typically don't spend their entirety in birds' eye view.

Triforce heroes was a 3D top down game. A Link Between Worlds was, too...

I'll count Link Between Worlds and such... even though it was kinda anti-thetical to metroidvania design

It's not really 3D, just the graphics break into cubes.

I mean, unless I'm mistaken, 3d dot heroes is mostly, if not entirely, in a birds a view.

It should count if link between worlds counts

idk, i don't have 3d dot game heroes - it looked like a more free roamy type game. It's not on PC, or I woulda got it since it's been recommended many times.

Reverie

It's like Zelda mixed with Earthbound. Play Asia has exclusive physical copies left I believe. Good game.

Aren't top-down Zeldas basically already top-down Metroidvanias? Or at least the dungeons sort of are, but a bunch of separate areas instead of one continuous one. I don't know if this genre exists, I guess it would basically be like Zelda where the whole game is one big dungeon? So sort of like BoI but that doesn't quite fit the bill.

Blood Omen 1: Legacy of Kain.

Dated, the listing times are horrible, but it has a charm and voice I truly enjoy.

No it's not, as 3D and 2.5D games exist. If Lok wanted only 2D they should have specified.

Idk, it sounds like 3d dot game heroes does play like traditional zelda... I mostly meant not stuff like Ocarina of Time or Darksiders

not precisely metroidvania, but the closest I can think of that I've played is Crashlands. it's a randomized 2d world where you farm for mats from the various alien flora and fauna, and construct a 2d base while following main and side quest lines.

Zelda is not metroidvania, it's top-down action adventure.
Super Metroid and Castlevania are metroidvania because they have platforming elements.

yeah, but if you cross top-down with metroidvania, you end up with something like Zelda (LttP specifically I guess).

you've basically said "now that you've hybridized that, it's no longer pure". well, no kidding...

(oh, now I realize who you are, nm I guess)
