Okami is your Zelda equivalent. I am actually inclined to say that Okami is better than all three Zelda's after Ocarina. Though Wind Waker is up there as well.
ninja gaiden sigma has some paralelles except its more fighting than platforming, and instead of finding new items to help you progress you find new weapons that are stronger.
it plays similar too, except you can jump and you get ninja abilities from the beggning instead of unlocking them.
obviously the theme and overall effect are entirely different though
ICO and Shadow Of the Colossus both follow Zelda's formula, with their own respective epic landscapes and terrains and ambiguous yet mysterious and immersive storytelling.
If anything, expect Team ICO's future PS3 Project to be following the routes of ICO and Shadow Of The Colossus (both games made by the same studio), and consequently, following Zelda's game formulas.
AS a long time Zelda fanboy and lover, I have to say Shadow of a Colossus was about as good as ocarina of time. MAybe the new game by team ico will be similar to zelda
Sounds like mostly PS2 games recommended here, but then again the PS2 has such a huge selection of games, you can find almost anything. As far as the PS3 goes, I wouldn't doubt there will be a Zelda equivalent eventually. Just think about the lifespan of the PS2. It's still getting 9.0+ rated new games released and many would say the hardware is extremely outdated now. With the capacity of Blu-ray discs and the hardware of the PS3, I mean... the games look amazing and this is just in the beginning of PS3 game development. So what I'm saying is, I expect the lifespan of the PS3 to be even longer than the PS2. I still play my PS2. And I really can't see a reason I would ever need a PS4... I can't see myself getting tired of the PS3's graphics. So hopefully the PS3 will be like the PS2 with just LOADS of great games.
