Hi everyone! Glad to be here on the new Lemmy community ☺️

I’ve been mostly out of the gaming scene since about 2012 due to grad school, starting a family, etc, but am wanting to get back into it. I love games like Zelda Link to the Past and had a lot of fun recently playing Hyperlight Drifter and Tunic (though I prefer 2D over 3D). I’m not looking for a rogue-like and rogue-lite style game. I’m leaning towards giving Crosscode a try, but am open to suggestions and would love to have a list to work my way through 😁. I’m perfectly happy playing games that came out last year or 30 years ago.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good PC games that scatch that 16bit action RPG Link to the Past itch?

Thank you all in advance and I appreciate your time and input ☺️.

UPDATE: wow! Thank you all so much for all the suggestions! I’ll check all these out. Y’all are great 😃

    Not 16 bit, but certainly looks pretty… Disco Elysium - I have heard great things about this game

    The closest I have played for link to the past feel was Blossom Tales. Short but sweet!

      I don’t think Disco Elysium would count as action RPG, though. A good game, nonetheless!

      Disco Elysium is very far away from being an action RPG or anything like Zelda imo. It doesn’t even have combat. It’s absolutely wonderful as a game but yeah.

      Blossom Tales 1 and 2 are basically Zelda clones with a different and very cute story. Fully recommend those.
