If 3D Dot Game Heroes was an actual Zelda game...

It'd probably sell 5 million+ copies and be called one of the best Zelda games we've seen in a while. Reviews would all give it over a 9, and its Metacritic would be well above Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks.

I always hear about how the game isn't good because it copies Zelda, yet Zelda's been copying itself since Ocarina of Time every game and 3DDGH is the most refreshing "Zelda"-like experience I've had since God-knows-when. It's quite ironic that 3DDGH's greatness is belittled because it copies Zelda, when Zelda is an even bigger offender of it.

Wow truly refreshingly awesome answer...well said sir

I don't know dude. The game was much shitter than any Zelda game I've ever played. It was a tad antiquated but my main gripe about it, was that it was rather shallow, compared to the actual game it copied. That said, it was a good game, but it was also a bargin title, and deservedly so. If a real Zelda game came out on consoles, and was exactly as good as 3DDH, I believe it would be roasted hardcore by Zelda haters and reviewers alike. There is a large anti-Zelda community out there just waiting for any Zelda game not to live up to the hype, and despite all this game does well....it's no Zelda game.

3D Dot Game Heroes does have its moments and fun features, like a cute little avatar editor (guess what I made), and the ability to take screenshots and save them to your PS3's photo gallery. But every one of the problems it suffers from elsewhere is something that Legend of Zelda, through its longevity and the massive expertise of its designers, has either long since overcome or never had to worry about anyway.
