Maxwell we are not arguing that this isnt inspired by ZELDA..hell even FS knows this and NOT are hiding it, got to the main page and theres a guy the looks supisciously like Mario with a pixaxe...this a HOMAGE to these styled games..its inspired by ZELDA, but it is NOT ZELDA, so because link had a slashing motion in all his games except the first in no way shape or form should that mean 3D dot heros should

O_o I really don't understand Maxwell's argument.
On a brighter note, this game's going to be so awesome can't wait to play it. Thank you Euphoria for putting this on my radar.

Does anyone remember the rumor a good 4-6 months back about Insomniac making a game like Zelda? Is this it by any chance only they got the developer wrong?

Uhm I'm saying they should have him slashing because have you went back and played Legend of Zelda?  Not being able to slash is annoying, not having a certain range in front of you where you can hit gets bothersome since you have to have your enemy directly in front of you to hit them and that was the only reason for that comment, I'm not wanting them to rip Zelda to the T I'm just hoping they make the right gameplay choices.

Mario with a pickaxe?

My god...

It's Spelunker...

This shit is getting out hand. Who gives a damn if it is similar to something else? Just play the game, enjoy it and zip it.

How about we take something that was great and enjoyable for people like me and leave it way back in 1986, because we all know Nintendo wasn't get off their asses and give it to me.

Thank the guys for at least doing something this awesome instead of whining and now... calling Spelunker Mario with a pickaxe...

You insult Spelunker...

*sigh*

By the way, here is your Mario with an axe. Released back in 1983.

Cause there is no argument :P I'm really looking forward to this game I just hope it plays well, and hope they don't rip the stabbing too much since that was actually an annoying part of the original zelda.  The slashing motion is a bit more fun (and is how someone fights with a sword :P)

The inspired comment just made my chuckle because the boss in the video is a carbon copy of another Zelda boss, where inspired really wouldn't be the correct word to use in the situation, being a mix between ripping the game and parody seems to fit a little bit better, I mean everyone says how OoT is the perfect transition of a series from 2D to 3D and this game is making fun of that by making everything the same as the 2D games but its all 3D blocks, it literrally is the perfect transition cause they didn't change the gameplay

Also, while I understand Mario (or his likeness) was in Donkey Kong, he wasn't a big name back then.

Mario first got his name in 1983, same here Spelunker released.

It is no way, shape or form a Mario wannabe.
