A lot of people have reviewed Zenonia by saying how Zelda-like it is. While you can certainly see those influences in the game, the way it looks and plays is much more like Sword of Mana. The strongest comparison is not to some beloved RPG of the 16-bit era but to World of Warcraft. This comes from the many side-quests and how they are delivered, the familiar range of orange, grey and blue exclamation or question marks. The strongest feeling is that you're playing WoW with 16-bit graphics, apart from the fact that Zenonia costs less than half the price of a month of WoW. Indeed, immediately after tapping 'New Game', you're invited to choose a class: Paladin, Warrior or Assassin. Very Blizzardy.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was arguably the pinnacle of Zelda excellence. By offering the best of everything, Twilight Princess managed to nail an already near perfect formula. So it’s not surprising Phantom Hourglass chose to innovate. The game adopts a semi-2D-quasi-3D look, using a top-down view for most of the game, but switching into full 3D when entering some buildings and during sailing. It looks fantastic, and you’ll feel no shame in showing it off to your PSP brethren.
