Let's All Hate Lucasarts Day to become Let's All Hate Lucasarts, Period?

Maybe something like Grim Fandango where good controls are not important, but for an action game? NO!

... Resident Evil? (I mention it because I recall Grim Fandango's movement being compared to Resident Evil at least once)

But I'd say that there are many many PC games that are third person. And many of them use WASD!

You see? You can't even name ONE game like Zelda on the PC. It's simple, ABF. In order for a game to be somewhat similar to Zelda it has to share similar controls and feature action, exploration, and puzzle solving. That's it. Consoles are littered with games like that. PCs are not, because the standard control setup is not kind to third-person action games that do not control like FPS's.

The only thing I can think of that was compared to Zelda was a mediocre action-adventure a few years back called Hype: The Time Quest... the characters were Playmobil knights and stuff...

But as I said, how many games directly compare to Zelda? Are there many on PS2 or X-Box? Oh, there are plenty of action-adventures, and those other subcategories, but as I said PC has a lot of those as well.

And it is not true that most PC games are either RTSes or FPSes. I have several hundred PC games after all and only five are FPSes and probably a dozen or something like that RTS... :) What is true is that most PC games are made with PCs in mind (if they aren't ports). So a action-RPG goes more in the direction of Ultima (though that's closer to a hardcore RPG) or Diablo, and not closer to Zelda. And an action-adventure? I don't know... Tomb Raider? I know they were on PSX too but they've been on PC from the start... that's one anyway.
