Did you ever want a Zelda game on iOS? Well now you can (kind of)!

"A Flappy Bird look-alike called The Legend of Zeldo: Lonk’s Awakening has found its way to the App Store for iOS devices. Developed by Virtually Competent, the game is described as a Zelda-themed take on Flappy Bird. It is set inside Ganondoof’s castle, where a hero named Lonk seeks to save a prince named Zeldo. Interestingly, the developer released the following disclaimer after the game’s debut:

While Lonk’s Awakening is heavily inspired by The Legend of Zelda series, no assets in the game were directly ripped from any official title produced by Nintendo. This game was built from scratch with entirely original art and audio. Neither Virtually Competent nor Lonk’s Awakening are affiliated with Nintendo."

While the dev may claim none of this was directly taken from the game, basically copying it and making a flappy bird clones doesn't make it alright either. I think this is a time where Ninten should step in and take this down. They don't need games like this messing up their entrance into the mobile market... : /

Glad to see fans of Link's Awakening.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first. 

When Nintendo finally enters the mobile market, a rain of lawsuits will rain upon those who dared to make things like this. And they will know the wrath of the plummer when their cheap cashgrabs dissapear from the store.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

At least it's the DX version, right?



This really doesn't do anything to suggest that ios have gotten better at cracking down on games which need a cease and desist. Sadly whoever put this up will make a lot of cash just from the franchise they're copying.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

BRB, I think I just lost my sides.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

So by inspired you mean ripping at least 2 games completely??? Ok then.

Apple saviour of gaming.



duduspace11 "Well, since we are estimating costs, Pokemon Red/Blue did cost Nintendo about $50m to make back in 1996"

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

That just looks terrible. It's the worse Flappy Bird Clone I've ever seen.



Bet with Xander XT: 

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

Me!
