The first impression I had when I started playing 3D Dot Game Heroes was the similarities to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. From the gameplay to the dungeon layout, I felt a strong nostalgic feelng for Zelda as I played through 3D Dot Game Heroes. Veteran gamers will look back in the past and link it with their memories. Although it is similar to The Legend of Zelda, there is more to it than meets the eye. Fans will get the classic feel, but everyone will see the charm the game has to offer.

For those of you who have completed Assassin's Creed 2 you might remember that during your journey you were desynchronized immediately after Sequence 11.
