On the one hand, the next iPhone and iPad game from the copycats at developer Gameloft has airships. One the other, the “legendary” unnamed game also has talking trees, will o’ wisps and adventure on horseback.
Since Gameloft already has at least one Final Fantasy-like on its long list of iOS clones, surely this must be the developer’s Legend of Zelda game, right? They’ve already done Halo, Uncharted, Call of Duty, StarCraft and Diablo, so this must be the company bravely venturing into Nintendo’s territory.

Thursday, January 13, 2011 at 10:23 AMOh, boo-fricken-hoo. It’s got a talking tree and a horse. Whatever. It looks so painfully generic that I struggle to understand why it’s just Legend of Zelda that you’re saying it’s aping. I mean, it looks more like Darksiders to me anyway…
Oh, wait…

It’s not like they were common fantasy tropes that Zelda addapted into a video game or anything…

Thursday, January 13, 2011 at 2:13 PMIf it wasn’t Gameloft, I’m sure the comparison wouldn’t have been made: there’s nothing that reallycompletely screams Zelda in this video. But it is Gameloft, and every one of their games is either a licensed property or a direct rip-off of a popular franchise. McWhertor is completely justified in speculating as to which franchise this game will be ripping off.
