At least it follows the classic Zelda format.
>explore on overworld from a top-down perspective
>kill enemies and gather rupees to buy items
>use items to reverse the overworld (the ladder and the candle even make an appearance)
>explore dungeons and kill bosses to collect sacred triangles
>final showdown with Ganon

You only pretend to like it because it's obscure and you're a hipster numale.

Like that matters. When the CDi games were made, Zelda 3 had been out a whopping one year at most in America. There wasn't even an established format yet.

So it was ahead of its time?

You just hate it because the internet told you to.

I think Zelda's Adventure is a good game. Fight me.

It's a sub-par game, but I do like the silly digitized actors/puppet sprites. I mean, it really doesn't fit a zelda game, but it combined with the ambient sounds that make up most of the game's soundtrack make for an interesting experience. But that's about it.

It's definitely not good, but when you consider how many god-awful, broken, unplayable games exist, its still probably better than most games

>the games were in development before LTTP or LA were even released, the only references they used were the first two Zelda games and the cartoon

>CD-i couldn't handle horizontal scrolling, and it took a miracle to get it working

>some no name Russian company took all the credit for it, despite only doing the cutscenes

>Nintendo's only input was making sure Link and Zelda were on model in the packaging artwork

Don't believe in the lies James Rolfe or PBG keep telling you, folks.

They aren't great, but they're definitely better than Litil Divil, which is the only CD-i game I can think of that has similar gameplay.

Those games were awful. Zelda's Adventure is the only good one.
