Ocean?s Heart: Top-Down Zelda-Like Action RPG: Review [4]

Craving a Zelda-like game? Something from the 2D, pixelated era, like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the SNES, or The Legend of Zelda: Link?s Awakening for the Gameboy? Look no further than Ocean?s Heart, available on Steam since January 2021, and perfectly playable on Proton.

Developed by Max Mraz and published by Nordcurrent, the game practically screams Zelda, from the same blue clothing the female protagonist, Tilia, wears that Link wears in Breath of the Wild, the short blonde hair, the sword, the boots, the top-down camera setting, the bows and arrows, the boomerangs, the bombs, the hearts, the magic, the rolling on the ground. Yet, it differs enough to still be a decent game, with different weapons, different characters, a different story, and different artwork. Whether you?re a seasoned Zelda fan or completely unfamiliar with the games in the series, I think Ocean?s Heart will appeal to both audiences. If you dislike the Zelda series though? Well, you probably won?t like this either.

[...]

Unfortunately for us, there?s no Linux version of the game, which I would imagine be a simple thing to do, since Solarus has cross-platform support, but the good news is it runs just fine on Proton. Occasionally on my end the game crashed when ALT + Tabbing out of the game or when my Series X controller disconnected, so be sure to save the game frequently.
