#Azaran
Azaran: Island of the Jinn brings us right to the heart of why I wanted to make this list. It takes inspiration from Ocarina of Time with so much care and attention to detail that you can really tell how much the developer love the franchise

Ez bi tevahiya alemê nadim
Ev derdê evîniya xwe
Ne tê bihîstin ne xwendin
Tenê min tengezar dikî
Tenê êşek bê derman didî
Dilop bi dilop mîna derd
Û êş û azaran stran çêdikî...

S'Amedî

temple maker 64's creator is also making a full-on zelda like inspired by TP called seed of life : store.steampowered.com/app/1964530/...

Else, there's also Azaran, which is much more OOT-like : store.steampowered.com/app/2994220/...

hi :) theres 2 ways you can go about it, chronologically or by release order

option 1- last specter, miracle mask, azaran legacy, curious village, Diabolical box finally unwound future

option 2-CV,DB,UF,LS,MM,AZ

as for mobile i think only CV and DB have mobile ports

Seed of Life and Azaran!

I might go for 3D myself in a few decades if the 2D Zelda scene ever gets the glutting it deserves (once we can moan at a Direct about "ANOTHER temple crawler?!" like we do farming sims).

yeah they're solid sandboxes with interesting systemic elements such as BOTW's element system and all the bullshit in TOTK but ti's just fundimentally different vibes wise, progression wise, and strucutre wise. Bel's Fanfare is another game I'm awaiting, as is Azaran: Islands of the Jinn

Played @benjigamedev.bsky.social’s #Azaran demo and I absolutely can’t wait for the full release. It nails the dungeon design and feels like an OoT-adjacent game while still feeling like its own thing.

I’m pissed that I can’t play more! 😂

2. Azaran Islands of the Djinn. Not out yet, but there's a demo. It's extremely zelda coded but Arabian.

Azaran: Islands of the Jinn:
So similar to it's inspiration I await a C&D. Level design is simple but clean with some well hidden secrets. I wish the lock-on was better but it's on par with it's inspiration.

Azaran: Islands of the Jinn is a send-up to the N64 era Zelda games. So much so that it looks like a rom hack.

Azaran: The Demon Bottle (2025) 7/10

Blueprinted from Zelda 1 with the added gimmick of puzzles hinged in symmetry. You can move and attack in 8 cardinal directions, which I'd have preferred to be just the 4. Makes it very easy. Barely an hour in length. Could be longer, still works though.
