A blatant clone of Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda is available to download from Microsoft’s Windows 8 Marketplace. The clone is shamelessly called “Zelda Game” and is made by Joeri Kerkhof, who is charging consumers $1.49 to download it.

What is Windows 8?
The unspoken evil
>.<
Treachery. An abomination. That's what it is. lol
Windows 8 also known as “Ganon OS”
don’t download windows 8 , they wanna make it like mac os where you have to pay for yearly updates and shit like that, let’s make them have to make windows 9 without all that shit :(
Funny man. Making comparisons he doesn’t fully understand.
You mean that cool viral music video
Hear me out, windows makes great OS every 2 releases:
98 great, millenium regular, XP great, vista shit, 7 pretty good, 8 shit, 9?
you fail completely by stating ‘millenium regular’
lol
Its official. There’s no good games from Widows Marketplace
It is’nt called the legend of zelda.
I dont want it.
3D Dot Game Heroes was one of the best homages to Zelda I have ever played.
Thats true. Although the music was a little meh, but then again, Zelda has the best music.
The best Zelda homage for me was Arkham City.
Within loose definitions, that is a good comparison.
I thought it’s whole idea was to be a closed and monitorized marketplace just to avoid things like this..?
Microsoft themselves should be sued for not monitoring this properly. He didn’t even try to change the name.
M’soft still sucks
BLASPHEMY!
Bunch of patent troll bitches here.
Guy codes it himself. He gets props from me. It’s not a true LoZ game by any means. If you don’t want it then don’t buy it.
I would imagine Nintendo hold a trademark related to video games on Zelda.
They would be more than justified in taking action here, and that wouldn’t make them patent trolls.
Because patent trolls are companies that hold a patent with no intention to ever use it.
So, what, a person’s effort absolves him of doing something wrong?
aelous is making homebrew games he is a nintendo fan inside
llllllllllloooooooooooollllllllllllllllll
I have a feeling that aeolus and jellybean are in love.
-__-
Fuck this lol. It shouldn’t happen but does anyone trully care ? I mean it’s funny knowing that someone somewhere will maybe buy this lol.
I will stick to my complete Zelda Collection which includes every single Zelda game in one format or another , recently completed by downloading Links awakening DX to 3DS which actually turned out to be one of the best Zelda Games I’ve played.
Hope they spill the beans on a new zelda 3DS game at e3 , don’t care what you guys say , I absoloutly loved Phantom hourglass , spirit tracks , and all the other Handheld Zelda’s!!
Bro, I’mma let you finish, but Wind Waker blew those two out of the water. (No pun intended)
Did I say I held those 2 in higher regard than Windwaker ? Nope , I absoloutly like windwaker more. But still Phantom hourglass and Spirit tracks are absoloutly amazing and make awesome use of the DS. Playing the whole game with the stylus is genius and works well. Having to make notes with the stylus is AMAZING so you can memorize a puzzle or combination and I hope they carry that onto the wiiu which they most likely will.
My least favorite Zelda Game is 4 swords and that’s a multiplayer spin off. Every other Zelda Game I have played is near enough Perfect for the platform it is on.
They were great, but the Ocean Temple and that tower can suck my dick
Oh god I remember those enemy trains that were fast as hell and followed you. I almost craped my pants .________________.
Why does everyone say that ? I thought they were ecellently well thought out! And I enjoyed having to re-navigate my way through certain bits and loved working together with Zelda in Spirit tracks ! Possessing dudes with Zelda and Giving link a piggy back was awesome ^_^ .
I would give them both 9.5/10 . Played through them both twice lol…
I hated the stylus at first but after a while of playing phantom, it felt perfect.
i cant wait till it comes to xbox
I don’t see how this could pass the radar :S Well, Nintendo COULD sue them (like they could’ve done numerious times) but I do not see them doing it as this do not damage them but will most likely benefit them indirectly.
Call it whatever you want, but it ain’t Zelda lol
I assume that Nintendo is going to hit this guy with a cease and desist order for it being like Zelda. Microsoft can’t survive without Halo, at all.
lmao at the name “Zelda Game”. Haha! Nintendo will more than likely put a stop to this, and should. Taking a few ideas from a game as inspiration is ok, but copying the game completely is just dumb and not creative in any way. This is like the “american idol” of games.
you’re welcome
I’m sorry, but when it’s this close to the true Zelda franchise, in both name and form, it’s ripe for a law-suit.
I’d gladly prosecute this guy for it.XD
… how lame.
I don’t know what’s worse. Cloning the game or putting it on this platform.
Both.
Well it’s not called the legend of Zelda. I might of fainted if it were.
This idiot made this an app for the iPhone. It has terrible ratings so I downloaded it just for kicks. It really is as terrible as you all think it is.
I like how the ability to save and start a new game needs to be listed as a feature.
Just reported this to Nintendo.
Reblogged this on Nerd Girls IRL and commented:
I can’t wait to see how hard Nintendo slaps this guy. Btw guys – finals are OVER for the semester – be prepared for lotsa updates!
you are a bloke, stop pretending to be a fit bird.
I promise I am 100% female lmao.
…And this is why I hate most smartphone games.
They are cheap, nasty things that are a chore to actually play. Yes, there ARE exceptions…but a much better model of quality control is needed.
yep and these are the games “that are killling the handheld market’
In most gaming devices’ infancies, their game libraries weren’t very professional. The NES is a prime example, as well as the Atari 2600. Just go to AVGN and you’ll learn all about it.
……..Wow………just………wow……..isn’t the use of the name Zelda enough for a lawsuit?
NINTENDO SUE THEM NOW!
You have 2 seriously wonder about Microsoft sometimes… Nintendo’ll probably jump in themselves to handle it…
I know this is off topic, but does anyone else have a problem when you’re trying to scroll down the website, and this really annoying add pops up?
i think that the decision on wether or not nintendo will take action is more coplicated then some of these commits make it out seem. most japanese compinies dont have a problem with doujin afterall
