Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon are infamous for the questionable quality of their animated cutscenes, but what about the gameplay itself? Those who have played the games tend to find them on the lower end of So Okay, It's Average, brought down by a number of issues, most blatantly the bad controls. Not that many people can even experience that, given that emulating a CD-i is notoriously hard, and getting the actual system and games is prohibitively expensive. The games' merits are thus doomed to be ignored......until one developer named Dopply set out to change that. Starting as a joke with his friends, Dopply learned how to use the GameMaker engine to recreate the games from scratch over the course of four years (excluding things like graphics, movies, and sound, which were ripped straight from the original game) so they could be played on modern computers, while also fixing the games' control issues (which were caused by the CD-i's controller only having 2 buttons, obviously not an issue on computers) and adding some quality of life features such as subtitles for the cutscenes and unlimited lives, and a few new secrets.The games were previously available for free, but they were intentionally taken down a few days later to avoid running into issues with Nintendo's legal department. They can still be found if you know where to look.Dopply, operating under the professional alias "Seedy Eye Software" and with funding and development assistance from Limited Run Games, would later apply the work done on these remakes into developing a full-blown Spiritual Successor to Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamelon, with the duology's background artist, Rob Dunlavey, and the voices of Link and Zelda, Jeffrey Rath and Bonnie Jean Wilbur, onboard. Titled Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore, the game is set to release sometime in the back half of 2023.Most tropes from The Legend of Zelda CD-i Games will also apply here. This page is for tropes specific to the remakes. |

Hand Blast: Since King Harkinian shares the same gameplay mechanics with Link and Zelda, he shoots energy bolts out of his hands and feet due to not using a sword. |
