Obviously I haven’t played all, or even most action adventure games ever released.As long as it plays like the Legend of Zelda for the most part I’ve included it here. A few of the titles can be considered more action RPG than pure action adventure.I’m including Zelda titles here because it would be utterly incomplete without them. This list is of the best action adventure games.Before we start the list of the best Zelda clones I’m going to highlight a few rules. I still get excited whenever a new one releases or someone brings to my attention an older but lesser known game. I’m still discovering new ones every day so the list is prone to change.
I’m a huge fan of the genre and that’s why today I’ve sat down to highlight the top 50 best action adventure games like Zelda. With so many releases it’s tough to weed out the good ones especially covering such a vast span of time. With it’s immense success the tide soon came in with a sea of copycats. This game had you play as a lone character on a medieval fantasy quest where you slash enemies with your sword, collect tools, and solve puzzles. The Legend of Zelda was an absolute landmark in the action adventure genre.
