Blossom Tales II: A Zelda by Any Other Name...

[@HybridAngelZero]

It's really surprising, looking back, just how few traditional 2D Zelda games there actually are, so it's always cool to see a game in that style

[@theflyingninja1]

Good point.

[@praetorxyn]

First game is $3.79 on Steam right now, so I picked up both of them. Thanks for bringing them to my attention.

[@SuperDerek]

Enjoy! They're lots of fun!

[@alfasilverblade]

I need to finish the first one thats in my BACKLOG !

[@Jersa7]

I had just finished The Witcher 3, and this inspired me to start playing Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King. It's awesome so far! Thanks for the video!

[@HardiJayRaspberry]

It's good to see a game for just being a game. Nothing too skilled. Have fun playing it. Sounds like a great title to try out.

[@dylanware2193]

Definitely going to pick this up. Thank you for the bringing this game to my attention

[@justsomejojo]

I loved the first game! Didn't know there was a second one. Another one for the list then - I'm looking forward to it. I remember in the first one, I ended the game letting bees loose on everyone. It was hilarious.

[@billyblack6381]

Thanks for the impressions video Derek. This game looks like a lot of fun. I love A Link to the Past.

[@DuoBeard]

The first blossoms tale was so charming, I will certainly need to make time to play the second game. It looks pretty good still

[@Ashamedofmypast]

Looks great. Feels like this came so quick.

[@james441]

Surprised you did a video on this. Since it just come out

[@nickjohnson3619]

This game is great and everyone should play it.

[@Satiator123]

Excellent review!!!

[@pulpprof526]

I hope Limited Run makes a physical of this game. Perfect for LRG! Oh my, looked it up! It is getting a physical release! Yippy!

[@capicityforgood258]

Thanks for the recommend. I bought both. I hate dlc only, and I would prefer a physical copy of it...but sometimes you just can't help it.

[@roguerifter9724]

The stamina bar sounds like the inventory from A Link Between Worlds to me. Still a good idea though.

[@MatthewDadoun]

Something's up with the mic, when you face away from it slightly it's hard to hear a bit, otherwise great video as usual :)

[@SuperDerek]

Yeah, I've changed up my room yet again, tried something a little different to record in a different spot, but my audio got a bit wonky. Tried to fix it in post but couldn't really get much better this time around. Next one will be better though! :)

[@jameshitt3263]

Looks good. Minish Cap comparisons are good a start (except for when I realized the seashells in Minish Cap were for nothing more than pointless collectibles...) How linear is it? One weak point about Link to the Past, after all these years, I know the game too well to have any fun replaying it anymore.

[@SuperDerek]

This one's pretty linear too, there's a specific order to do things in, though you can go pretty far from the beaten path and explore _some_ areas before the story calls for it, though like aLttP there are barriers some items are needed to cross. :)

[@Alianger]

Honestly the art style is a weak imitation to me but it looks well made otherwise and the price is low on steam. Crosscode is a Zelda-like (or Zelda/SoM-like hybrid) that I enjoyed quite a bit.

[@majic200]

feeding that algo! A bit late...

[@SuperDerek]

Always appreciated! :)

[@NintenDub]

The audios f'ed up

[@Thirteen13551355]

I have no idea why they made you walk slower compared to the first game. It ruined the experience for me.

[@wildwest1832]

Not a big fan of the graphics. zelda looks a lot better
