Oceanhorn:Monster Of Uncharted Seas maybe best known as Zelda's clone. However, this form of imitation is somewhat beautiful. Oceanhorn is more of like a tribute to the Legend that is Zelda.
A lot of games right now are leaning towards a futuristic heavy graphic approach. Gameplay is much more complicated than usual; and definitely a huge file and space eater on your computer or even on your PlayStation.

This game looks old but feels brand new. Oceanhorn, unquestionably patterned its gameplay to Zelda, from the basic sword attack and sailing through the deepest sea. If you would change Oceanhorn's protagonist costume to green, then you might be seeing Link from Legend of Zelda.

The voices on the game comprise of great voice talents such as Ray Chase, Kevan Brightning, and Fryda Wolf. So what's not to love about this game?
