Someone: is Shield Cat going to me a *lowers voice and speaks in a low slithery whisper that's barely audible* metroidvania

Me: nah you're gonna go forwards and beat up guys and maybe there's a locked door sometimes

Someone: ah a Zelda clone

Me: ok where's Lance's sword then

That's gonna be my response if anyone calls my game a Zelda clone because it's top down I'm gonna be like "where's his sword then Harold? Where's his damn sword"

@Lumi top down does not a zelda clone make, definitely.

...though on that note, I wish I knew of more legitimate zelda clones, 'cause I could sure go for some of those
