7 Games Like Zelda – Playing Link Without Link

July 3, 2012 by Ian Miles Cheong

Games Like Zelda: We like to play games like the Legend of Zelda. Just like the original Zelda titles, they’re enjoyable and full of adventure.

6. Darksiders

Vigil Games' Darksiders has been referred to by many as "Dark Zelda" and with good reason—if God of War and Ocarina of Time had a baby, it'd come in the form of Darksiders.

Darksiders offers the slick, and skill-oriented combat of the God of War games while retaining the puzzle-solving and adventuring sensibilities of Zelda. It provides the player with a relatively open world to traverse through, opening up new areas as the player unlocks new traversal abilities such as a grappling hook and a phantasmal set of wings.

To draw the parallels to Ocarina of Time even closer, Darksiders even allows you to acquire a steed for which to move through the larger areas with ease and overcome obstacles. Epona might be cool for a horse, but Ruin is the only way to travel through the blighted lands of post-apocalyptic Earth.
