Life after Zelda

[Octopod]

Star tropics is an awesome game. Also Magic of Scherezade for NES. Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime for DS...Very SNES zelda in feel.

[Ack]

There's always Lagoon on the SNES, though it's not easy.

And don't forget the Ys series.

Skies of Arcadia for the Dreamcast and Gamecube is very good. Like Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, it offers a vast world to explore, for reasons beyond the main game. It's more on the RPG side of the fence, though. If you want a good action RPG for the Gamecube, check out Tales of Symphonia. It's a tremendous game, plus it's multiplayer, so you and your wife could play the game together, if you wanted. multiplayer isn't mandatory to the game, though. It has the third-person action-based battles of Zelda [there's also no random encounters; you see all the enemies on the map], and similar puzzle-filled dungeons. It's a very long game, as well. I highly recommend it. One more game; this one I haven't played, so I can't give a very good opinion about it, but the game "Beyond Good and Evil" for the GC/XB/PS2 is supposed to be very good and similar to Zelda. There's an article about it on the main Racketboy site, under the "Hidden Gems" articles.
