similar to zelda on the PC

[Tempered81]

any games for the pc out there that have the same feel as mario64 or zelda ocarina of time

I'm really looking for a zelda type game with the problem solving, mystery, quest, riddles and rpg style... kinda like nes or ocarina of time

looking for single player experience.

What are the best out there? I have no idea because i've been playing first person shooters for the last 10 years. Any good zelda-like games out there?

Newest Tomb Raider games?

Will Portal count? haven't played it myself but from the sound of it, it seems pretty close.

ty for the responses, someone also told me lord of the rings is good

 

[secretanchitman]

beyond good and evil is what you are looking for.

I wouldn't say it's like Zelda, but the Prince of Persia series has several of those elements in its gameplay.

The closest I could think of in comparison to Zelda (and I'm saying old school, like NES/SNES and the like) to the PC platform would be the dungeon crawlers like Diablo and Titan Quest . . ..

I'd say "spirit of gameplay-wise", I would think portal as well . . ..

Just look for console games that have been ported to the PC. There are very few native PC games that have the console adventure game feel.

no nothing like it

Shadow Man

It's a little old (1999) but, in my opinion, it's the best third person adventure game on the PC that I've played (I haven't played a lot of such games on the PC though).

Knights of Xentar, probably 1998-ish console-like anime style rpg

Fable is kinda similar.

I think Mythos is the closest thing I've played to Zelda in quite a while.

Closest game is Hype: The time Quest.

this is what i thought of as well.... heck, you can even fish in fable...
(although the fishing in Zelda is 23964 times better!)

Also check out Nox: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nox_(video_game) I played through it a few times and it reminded me of Zelda a bit.

i agree. Beyond Good and Evil is probably the most underrated game made in the past few years

That game had amazing multiplayer. CTF was so fun.

If we're talking SNES era Zelda, Dink Smallwood is the PC equivalent. Fun game, a little short though.

Zelda PC.

Psychonauts?
