Favorite Zelda clones? 56k warning

A lot of us have played other action-adventure games that follow the same format as the Legend of Zelda series (save for Zelda II and the Four Swords games), so I want to know is what your favorite Zelda clones are on the Legacy Platforms?

My faves:

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy (PS2)

Beyond Good and Evil (PS2)

Star Fox Adventures (GameCube)

There is a couple more I want to mention, but I played them on not yet Legacy systems, so... :P

Why do all action adventure games have to be Zelda clones? Anyways, Darksiders.

edit: Whoops accidentally thought I clicked a system wars thread, but I guess I'll go with Okami.

Darksiders doesn't belong to the legacy platforms, but it's still my pick.

Also Landstalker, although it's more 'inspired by' than a clone.

The only Zelda clone I played that I can remember is Star Fox Adventures on the GCN.

Beyond Oasis (The Story of Thor)

Golden Axe Warrior

Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu II)

Seiken Densetsu III

I'm not sure if Secret of Mana and Seiken Densetsu III can be considered Zelda clones but they're freakin' awesome nonetheless :P

First thing that comes to mind is Secret of Mana

Has to be Alundra!

Okami, most definitely.

The only "clone" that I recall playing was Okami. Great game.

I don't like adventure games that much, but a friend of mine loves Arkista's Ring for the NES. It's a mediocre Zelda clone, but he's really had an obsession with it as long as I've known him. He even invented a game to play back when we were in Elementary School during recess based on the game.

agreed...even though it isn't legacy

The greatest 'Zelda Clone' ever made is Illusion of Gaia.

I don't like calling it a clone though because that game should stand by itself.

I also had fun with Willow on the NES.

Crystalis was awesome. there was a game boy color revival for it too if you did not know.

Rambo on NES has similarities to the side-scrolling parts of Zelda II, which I hadn't really noticed before I saw the video by AVGN.Stinger78

I swear THIS game was a Zelda II CLONE. i had it growing up, got it for christmas, and it was entertaining, but sucked ass in the long run.

Never really played the GBC version though I'm not sure I could get over the changes for nostalgic reasons.

But on topic, and talk about a better game than Zelda as well IMO:

^ Heh, I have the Virtual Console version. Good game! I didn't get the second one, though. How about this game:

Alundra 1 on ps1 and psn is an amazing Zelda-ish game. It has the most hardest puzzles to figure out, and is a very long game. A+ in my book.

gotta agree with beyond good and evil + Sphinx, both very good games. the Hobbit was also a pretty good one imo

Wild Arms 1. Granted the fighting was turned based, but all the adventure elements were extremely Zelda.
