  oceanhorn came out in 2013, so I doubt the outfit was trying to copy botw.

  To be fair, Ocean Horn is a mobile game that found its way to consoles. At that time it was released, developers like Gameloft were ripping off games like GTA, Assassins Creed and COD and offering pseudo-mobile versions of those franchises. So in a way, there was an agreement between both developers and consumers that these games were supposed to be rip-offs, cause they offered a similar experience to their official AAA equivalents in a mobile format.<br><br>Nowadays a lot of these AAA franchises are having official mobile games. But interestingly, we are still yet to see a mobile Zelda game, so Oceanhorn is still a good alternative there. But of course, it makes no sense to play it on the Switch, when i could be playing the real thing.

  Tbh I liked Oceanhorn. It was a Zelda away from Zelda. It reminded me alot more of Phantom Hourglass than it did Windwaker, and the story is unique enough to be considered an above average game in my books.

  Tony Hawk games have always had a mode where you do tricks and claim pieces of land in your color. So Scoot is definitely aesthetically similar to Splatoon but I think it&apos;s more like that Tony Hawk mode than anything.

  That indie game rip off of smash bros has actual indie game characters in it.

  Oceanhorn is a pretty good game. I actually downloaded it for Switch for the similarity 😂<br><br>When I saw Kirby Dream Course, I had Marble Madness flashbacks 😨

  Knock offs have always been interesting as they are either massive hits or massive misses

  I liked the oceanhorn game, while it may have taken some HEAVY inspiration from the zelda franchise, it has a lot of cool unique stuff.
