Hi everyone! Glad to be here on the new Lemmy community ☺️

I’ve been mostly out of the gaming scene since about 2012 due to grad school, starting a family, etc, but am wanting to get back into it. I love games like Zelda Link to the Past and had a lot of fun recently playing Hyperlight Drifter and Tunic (though I prefer 2D over 3D). I’m not looking for a rogue-like and rogue-lite style game. I’m leaning towards giving Crosscode a try, but am open to suggestions and would love to have a list to work my way through 😁. I’m perfectly happy playing games that came out last year or 30 years ago.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good PC games that scatch that 16bit action RPG Link to the Past itch?

Thank you all in advance and I appreciate your time and input ☺️.

UPDATE: wow! Thank you all so much for all the suggestions! I’ll check all these out. Y’all are great 😃

    Hope I am not too late but if you havent seen it yet maybe Eastward would be worth a try. I recently played through it and enjoyed it a lot. Its quite story heavy I would say almost being like an interactive movie so gameplay is a bit on the weaker side, but nevertheless there are some nice environmental puzzles that have to be solved by combining the abilities of the two different characters that you control, there is an entire small 2D RPG game inside as a minigame and honestly the soundtrack is quite a banger.
