It’s dangerous to go alone! Go play The Legend Of Zelda, deconstructed and reduced to its component concepts! You are Link, a green square, and your mission is to kill Ganon (probably a dark block). Along the way you’ll grab a sword (a brown block) and fight all sorts of monsters, from Octoroks to Moblins (represented by blinking colors).
Created by Ben Purdy for a Hackathon, this is some of the best square-on-square action I’ve played in a while.
I can’t confirm this is the entire game – I think the idea starts to break down once you get into inventory – but it’s a noble effort. Writes Purdy:
Can you collect all eight fragments of the Triforce without getting killed?
