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 😃
Oh, I thought of a few more games.
This game seems to be something inspired by Shadow of the Colossus. It has that top-down view, but rather than being Zelda-like, instead you explore the game world in order to find bosses to defeat. Your only weapon is an arrow you can fire and then retract to yourself. Each boss requires only one hit to defeat…but they’re all puzzle bosses.

This Zelda-like indie game is, as far as I know, freeware.
