The Legend of Zelda series of games, ever since the first game's release all the way back in 1986, has been one of Nintendo's crown jewels. Legend of Zelda has stayed relevant through several decades in gaming through sheer innovation and technical brilliance.

The Legend of Zelda is one of the most iconic franchises in gaming, and one that has influenced many games. Beginnings of the franchise were steeped in the dungeon-crawler genre, and more recently, with Breath of The Wild, it revolutionized the open-world genre.

Introducing a level of interactivity, exploration, and a systems-based gameplay that would set the benchmark for games in the open-world genre to be compared to for years to come.

3 best games like The Legend of Zelda

1. Undertale

Undertale is a stretch, to say the least, to compare to the newer Legend of Zelda games. However, players will soon discover the game's in-depth gameplay mechanics to be vastly satisfying, much like the original dungeon-crawlers of the franchise.

Undertale will pull the proverbial rug from underneath the player's feet at multiple points through the course of the game. The game world offers an insane amount of variety, procedurally-generated dungeons and endlessly enjoyable characters.

2. Darksiders

Darksiders is one of the most criminally underrated games of its time, and the combat is one of the finest seen in RPG games in similar genres. While the game world isn't as wonderous as something like Breath of The Wild, the series does offer plenty of great story moments.

As one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, players step into the demonic shoes of Death himself and take part in a fascinating story.
