Game Description:A long, long time ago, the Dark King Onyx brought an age of darkness upon Dotnia Kingdom.

Dotnia requires a hero once more! Can you live up to the legend?

3D Dot Game Heroes is an adventure worth taking, especially for Zelda fans. But it's not one without faults, including strange difficulty spikes and opportunities to accidentally miss key game items. Despite these problems, it's is a lavishly pretty and entertaining virtual worship at the altar of Shigeru Miyamoto, resulting in a video game Nintendo themselves would likely make, so it's a good thing someone else did.
