Let me ask you this, mah boi. What is it that all true warriors strive for? This is a very specific game for a very specific audience. I don't think it's worth playing if you're not a member of this specific audience, as the general design enforces a certain level of... crappiness . If you don't know: Once upon a time, some crappy Zelda games got made. No, not the ones on the Switch; on a forgotten console called Phillips CD-I. The games were made by an inexperienced, visuals-first team, had hand-drawn cutscenes and a very distinct style. For some reason, the cutscenes started being used as a source material in a illusive art from called "Youtube Poop"; or YTP for short. The YTP scene transformed these short clips into a cinematic universe of sorts. Yes, I'm still serious, in case you're wondering. The editors, or "Poopers", used carefully cut voice lines from the games to make the characters say all sorts of things. This was way before AI could just generate stuff for you, by the way. The characters started developing personalities, quirks, relationships. The King was a silly, food-obsessed weirdo with presence. The Squadala man became the King's friend and advisor (and a bit of a trickster)... Link went full-on being braindead washed-up hero, and so on. But that wasn't all. People dug up the names of the unnamed-in-game characters; they learned that the MMM merchant guy is called "Morshu", the Squadala man is called "Gwonam", that the King's name is Harkinian and so on. It wasn't long before the voice actors themselves were found... ...but, as with all things, the YTP era came to an end. Many Poopers lost interest, as did viewers. Every now and then a giant wakes from their slumber and drops a new video, and perhaps we're even on the cusp of a new golden age of YTPs; and Arzette could be its herald. The game itself expects you to be familiar with the CD-I YTP canon, but also with the old games themselves. Also Hotel Mario, another CD-I game (yes, that's a thing) - the bonus levels of Arzette are in fact the game's own spin on it, and it fixes one of the main issues what made Hotel Mario annoying to play, funnily enough. Sound effects, general level layout, enemy design, item philosophy; a lot of things are, fittingly, taken straight from the CD-I Zelda games. But, since this game is like a Youtube Poop in itself, it actually manages to make them good ; the design flaws are removed with surgical precision and replaced in accord with sensible game design. If you're interested in the gamedev craft, I recommend watching Angry Video Game Nerd's review of the CD-I and then playing this, trying to catch all the little improvements Seedy Eye Software (so the devs. Also, yes, this is the name) did to make this not only playable, but actually pretty fun. And the story itself - a big part, all things considered - is like a sequel to the games, and to the poops. None of the characters are named as in Zelda, but you can clearly see who's supposed to be who. Hell, many characters staright up use their "original" voice actors, and that's has a very powerful effect. Also, at some point people started making YTPs that were less funny and more... epic. Tragic, even. The mixture of the bizarre visuals and voices mixed with unironically gripping plots (which still manage to be silly) is a very recognisable flavour of late YTP culture, and Arzette is no different. The plot gets surprisingly serious towards the end - but it doesn't cut on the silly, exaggerated animations. Artisanal stuff. I... can't believe I'm saying this, but the game also explores the... ughhh... socio-political aftermath of the events of the Zelda games. Duke Onkeld's "scrub all the floors in Hyrule" actually translates to "many years of demeaning labour". What kind of effects it would have on the person? You get the idea. So yes. Yes, if you've been there, if you remember , then please, play this. It's such a wonderful love letter to the forgotten art. And if you haven't, well, maybe my review convinced you to actually take a look? Many YTPs are lost to time, but lots of good stuff remains, courtesy of archivist reuploaders. Enough. My ship sails in the morning. I wonder what's for DINNER? YOUR FACE [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42922988/]Triforce of Wisdom promises the reviews can be safely trusted

A nifty little game, the platforming is fun, the exploration is fun, the music is great and of course the cutscenes are superb. The best thing about this game though is if you're too broke to get it right now, you could always come back when you're a little mmmmm richer.

This game could have easily been just a bunch of second-rate takes on YTP memes and gameplay that's bad on purpose, but instead it really manages to find its own identity while also iterating on the CDi Zelda gameplay formula in a way that makes it actually fun. An incredible achievement.

Despite their infamous status in internet culture, the Zelda CD-I games (not counting Zelda's Adventure) were built off of a solid foundation that sadly wasn't complimented by the games' choppy framerate, unforgiving difficulty, and baffling control scheme. At their core, they are adventure games where you slowly uncover more of the map by completing objectives and obtaining useful items. In a sense, the world was one giant puzzle box that you had to solve piece by piece as is tradition for Zelda games around that time. After trying out the Zelda CD-I remasters created by Dopply years ago, I believe they had potential to be good if the hardware was capable of handling games of this scope. Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore is a continuation of the groundwork the Zelda CD-I duology laid out with the refinements of Dopply's prior work with the remasters. The end result is a great action/adventure sidescroller that succeeds its predecessors while also staying true to the tropes of the CD-I games. The gameplay is much more fast and frantic with some new combat tools and upgrades akin to a standard Metroidvania. The environments and music are pleasing to listen to and look at, everything checks out. Although the animated cutscenes in the CD-I games are infamous for their ridiculous quality and reputation as a Youtube Poop goldmine, you never really got a game with hand drawn animation at the time. They're not good, but I always admire the ambition despite the outcome. Arzette's cutscenes are in a similar vain, but each one is drawn in a different style with one being fully 3D animated. With how exuberant most of the characters you meet can be, the change in style adds a layer of depth to the cutscenes while also always being fun to watch. Arzette is just a good game all around, there's not really much I can dissect outside of how open the world can be on a replay. Like how you can get sword beams on your first visit in the forest which opens up so many pathways instead of backtracking to the cave, desert, and canyon for the first hour. I enjoyed my time with Arzette and if possible, a randomizer could add even further replayability given how open the game's structure really is.

Don't let the memes fool you. This game is solid. A love letter to the CD-i and a great example of how even a "joke game" can be fun. Also Arzette is cute.
