Tunic and Mina disguise themselves as Zeldas before going "Surprise! It was actually a souls-like fuck you"
If Mina is as good as people are saying, then I think it’s past time we formally establish the “heavily inspired by Zelda but it mogs every actual Zelda game” genre
Other notable candidates include Tunic, Okami, NGB, every souls game, Hollow Knight Silksong, Outer Wilds, etc.
