Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon | The Completionist

Ойындар

For Zelda month I thought I'd tackle and an obscure but internet-favorite BAD Zelda game: Zelda Wand of Gamelon. Yup, the one from all the memes and KZread poops. Let's see just how bad it gets.

Nintendo for some reason licensed out Zelda to Phillips CDI, and these Zelda CDI games are something...special. What is really strange is that A Link to the Past came out BEFORE Zelda Wand of Gamelon. These games felt noting like a Zelda game at all, but left their mark on the world once the internet got a hold of it. Let's see what all the fuss is about in my Zelda Wand of Gamelon review!
Let me know why Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon is your favorite Zelda game!

    Koholint doesn't even exist, the Great Sea is Hyrule, and Termina may or may not exist but even if it does, it contains mirror images of Hyrule citizens and they are Hylian. Labrynna, and Holodrum can be physically visited from Hyrule (Zelda and Impa do so) and also have Hylian citizens as well as Gorons and Zoras.

This was one of the games they showed off for it. I remember wanting a CDI so badly, and my parents wouldn't get it for me. I suppose I should thank them for sparing me the horror. Still they should rerelease the zelda games and Hotel Mario on virtual console, for ocmpletionist purporses.

    They had the Zelda IP, but no budget and what is likely the smallest staff to ever be assigned to a Zelda game, let alone 3 Zelda games! I’m also fairly certain that most had never worked a game yet at all at this point in their careers. Add to the mix that there was a deadline that was approaching fast. Put it all together, and here’s 33.333% of the result!

    So its seems there is some missing info in here. Nintendo did not wriie off on these games. The rights to produce multiple zelda and mario titles where included in the orginal contracts between nintendo and philips. When The whole thing fell through philips still had these rights to make these select few of titles. Nintendo had 0 influence on them or input and where essentialy made behind there backs. Thats why ther is no nintendo flair or anything.

    Funny that you mention the Zelda cartoon at the end, because, when you play Link: The Faces of Evil (which doesn't even have "Zelda" in the title), it's clear that that was one of the inspirations for these games (why Link wants a kiss from Zelda in that game's intro and ending, why the Triforce is a solid pyramid, and maybe one or two more answers).

  • @Benchapicho

    I thought it was common knowledge that Nintendo legally couldn't interfere with the production of these games after the deal with Phillips fell through, since they were the ones who cancelled it but had already shared the license, but Jirard seems to believe that Nintendo okayed them but then just didn't bother to oversee their production.

    Yakuza 0 is great starting point for anyone interested to get into the series and the series it self is often underrated but those who have played understand why it has a strong fan base and why it has made so many games. Yakuza 0 it self I will admit is has a bit a rough start but you will get engaged quicker than you think. The story is so good I don’t want to spoil it’s very unique and super interesting. The characters are so likeable and believable in their motives and with so many awesome moments that you cheer them on. The combat is so much fun it easily puts the game on the list of best beat em ups of all time, with so many different fighting styles and it’s a ton of fun to play with each of them but it does take some strategy with certain enemies. There are so many fun, funny and bizarre mini games in the game which can get your blood pumping and make you laugh so hard you might lose your voice. There are a ton of side missions about over a hundred of them and a lot of them have such fun stories to them and there are a couple that are super memorable. The boss battles are so freakening awesome not only they can be tough but they make the bosses into badasses. The collectibles feel so good to collect and they will unlock stuff for you and I keep my mouth shut on what. There is so much to complete that it’s overwhelming how much stuff they put into the game and can be too much for some people with its high difficulty levels and how much content in it completing would take too long for any minor completionist and only those with the strongest of determinations and wills should fully complete this game but doing so you truly earn the title of a completionist.

    You know, oddly enough? Wand of Gamelon feels familiar. The painterly backgrounds, the travel to another kingdom... it looks like they decided to make a King's Quest game, but a platformer. And then at the last minute, they couldn't get the King's Quest license and got Zelda instead. Even the animation is reminiscent of King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride (although KQ7 at least had characters interacting with the backgrounds).
