A new action-adventure title inspired by the Zelda saga has been recently revealed, combining battle royale elements to offer a unique experience.Named Scramble Knights Royale, the game was announced in a showcase and is scheduled for release later this year, generating excitement among genre enthusiasts.

A mix of Link’s Awakening and Fortnite

Players will have the opportunity to participate in a playtest that will take place from January 9 to 11, although registrations are limited to North America through the game’s Steam page. This event will allow users to get a first look at the gameplay and style of the title before its official release.

Scramble Knights Royale stands out for its striking artistic direction, evoking memories of the Link’s Awakening remake, featuring characters in a clay style that appear to be hand-crafted. This visual approach not only grabs attention but also adds an element of freshness to the already familiar battle royale format.

In the matches, up to 32 players will start on an island and explore in search of treasures while facing monsters in various dungeons. The goal is to strengthen your character and eventually be the last “knight” standing. This combination of exploration and combat promises an entertaining and challenging experience.

However, launching a multiplayer game in an environment where a large number of players is expected can be complicated. Still, Scramble Knights Royale aims to stand out in a market flooded with similar titles, offering a unique blend of adventure and competition. The developers hope that the interest generated by the test will be a positive indicator for the future of the game.

The key game to understand ‘Zelda’ that you can play on the Switch in Japan (but the rest of the world doesn’t know)

However, this game, which was released on September 14, 1992, in Japan for the Game Boy and could be translated as ‘The Frog for Whom the Bell Tolls,’ has an unprecedented connection with the ‘Zelda’ series.

On June 6, 1993, ‘The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening’ was released in Japanese stores, one of the games that would ultimately define not only Game Boy but also the Link saga in general. It was a game that found its foundation in ‘A link to the past’ but also in the series ‘Twin Peaks’. Or at least, that’s what we’ve been told for decades. The truth is that there is a game that has been hidden for three decades, it has just been released on the Japanese Switch and it is a very curious missing link.

It went wrong

If I tell you ‘Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru’, unless you are die-hard Nintendo fans, it is most likely that you do not know what I am referring to. However, this game that was released on September 14, 1992 in Japan for Game Boy and that could be translated as ‘The Frog for Whom the Bell Tolls’ has an unprecedented connection with the ‘Zelda‘ saga.

In fact, it is so vital that ‘Link’s Awakening’ was built directly on top of this other game. They are not only similar in appearance: some sprites and characters were used as a tribute from one to the other. For example, Prince Richard, who asks for your help in finding his five golden leaves, is the best friend of the protagonist of ‘Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru’ and even the game’s soundtrack plays when you enter his house.

Now, after many years of darkness, the game has appeared on the Nintendo Switch in Japan, but even though there are English translated ROMs, it seems very unlikely that Nintendo will commission a professional translation for a game like this, so officially, we will remain without knowing this key piece of ‘Zelda’. However, if Nintendo is not watching…
