For me, it's Monkey Hero

Seiken Densetsu/FF Adventure, the only truly great one honestly, all of the other ones vary from being just good to complete garbage. Like for example is Neutopia a great game? No, it isn't. Same for Golden Axe Warrior, etc.
As for Landstalker and Alundra I just don't get why these games are held in such high regard. You know what the best Climax ARPG is? Key of Heaven for the PSP

Based terranigga. Fuckin love that game.
>>
>>12004174
Have you played Crusader of Centy yet?
>>
>>12004318
Nope

look nice
>>
>>12004331
It is. Play.
>>
>>12004318
I just played a bit of that i like the presentation.
Not OP but what are some Genesis ARPG's that are good? I never got into Genesis outside of Sonic

>what are some Genesis ARPG's that are good?
I hear Beyond Oasis kicks ass. If you liked SoR, you'll definitely like Beyond Oasis!
>>
>>12004403
>>12004408
I haven't played Beyond Oasis as well but people say it's like this console's ALttP
>>
>>12004409
Crusader of Centy is a lot more like ALttP, while Beyond Oasis is like ALttP if it were a beat 'em up.
>>
>>12004174
Soul Blazer and Secret of Mana are more action RPGs, but similar.

What beats everything is the Zelda LttP randomizer. Literally can make the game as hard as possible and never get bored with it.
>>
>>12004174
I love Landstalker.
Soleil is another good MD one.
I also have a soft spot for Oasis.
>>
>>12004971
Funny thing is that Soleil, Crusader of Centy, and Ragnacenty are all the same game, just under different names for different regions (Europe, North America, and Japan respectively.)
Apparently, Soleil has a better English translation than Crusader of Centy does.
>>
Maze of Galious is basically a sidescroller Zelda 1. Highly recommended.
>>
>>12004174
Zoomers call those games metroidvanias now.
>>
>>12004174
Hijacking OP's question, any good Zelda-likes that are ~100% overworld and ~0% dungeons?
>>
>>12007869
Do such games even exist? Uh, the GTA series? Even those games have a couple 'dungeon's lmao
>>
>>12004236
Terranigmaballs

>>12004174
Playing the original Zelda made me realize how fucking trash the series became after going 3D/aonumaslop.
>>
original zelda
zelda lttp
startropics
legend of the mystical ninja (bit of a stretch to call it a zelda like but still)
>>
>>12007862
I mean, they aren't far off. The biggest difference between zeldalikes and metroidvanias I can think of is that metroidvanias usually have a significant amount of platforming, and sometimes some light RPG elements. Going by this logic, you could argue that Zelda II is a metroidvania.
>>
>>12009913
Metroid 1 has always been a sidescrolling platformer take on Zelda 1, right down to the item based character progression and secrets.
>>
>>12009972
They're like two subgenres of the same overall concept.
>>
In a better world Zeldalikes would be all the rage right now instead of terrible Metroidvanias.
>>
>>12009992
Then why did Classic Zelda die if it's actually a metroidvania series.
>>
>>12010059
Nintendo struck gold by trying something different, but they'd probably still be making money hand over fist if they stuck to the classic Zelda formula. Classic Zelda died not because zeldalikes/metroidvanias are unpopular, which they most certainly aren't, but because Nintendo found something even more popular to replace Classic Zelda with.
>>
>>12010059
>>12010252
Adding onto my point, gamers love metroidvanias, but fucking EVERYONE loves BOTW, including normies.
