Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore
It’s sometimes redundant to talk about the reputation of Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon. Developed by American/Russian studio Animation Magic for the Philips CD-i, they’re equally infamous for being the least appreciated Legend of Zelda games and for their abundant appearances in the early days of the YouTube Poop video genre. However, they’ve also had their defenders (including an old article from this very website), claiming that they’re genuinely good action-RPGs considering the constraints they were made under. This has become more widely spread in recent years thanks to the unofficial remakes released in late 2020, using the original assets and adding quality-of-life improvements. These remakes were developed by Seth “Dopply” Fulkerson, who gained an appreciation for what those original games were trying to do and wanted to create something new in that same style. Which brings us to Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore, a game that emulates a lot of what makes those CD-i Zelda games tick. If you’re here to find goofily animated cutscenes full of strange characters, you’ll get that in spades. But if you’re in the mood for a brisk open-ended adventure packed with charm and secrets for days, you’re getting that too. This isn’t an ironic pastiche, but a sincere tribute that succeeds on its own merits and makes for a great little romp.

I don't see anything topping this as my most out there Vinyl purchase anytime soon.
Found this weird NPC in Arzette that took Zazie's place all of the sudden? Not sure what's up with that. /j
Bue-Buenos Dias Muchachalatas- chachalatas- Chacha-
Limited Run Games did a presentation a few days ago, and my personal highlight was Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore! Such an exciting prospect I waited... a week to do something about it! A positively lovely homage to a pair of infamous adventure games that helped give birth to the grand Dadaist art movement known as YouTube Poop. It had me like "Ye! (brief pause) YESSSSSSSSS!" and to my friends I was like "Look at this FUCKn SHIT!" but in a *click* Nice way.
Seriously, words cannot express how much of my current appreciation for the strange and the terrible was truly shaped by this nonsense. From the ancient cravings of "Lotsa SPAGHETTI!" and "Dinner" to the extremely high concept works like Jeff Lindblom's Deltarune covers and Schaffrillas's Sharkslayer saga, and even the legitimately terrifying (and hilarious) Mr. Krabs's Unquenchable Bloodlust by Emperor Lemon.
Why am I sauce sauce- so excited for this game though? Well, it's quite simple Mah Boi, it takes a special kind of understanding to craft a good game out of a mold so... riddled with lumps. And if you ask me, WE WAS ROBBED of adventure games like this for a while!
Alright, I'll stop. What I'm getting at is "Go buy Arzette when it comes out because I really wanna see people take things they love and make new things out of them more often", ya dig? Right I'm gonna go see a man about a ship. That sails in the morning! I'm makin' waffles! for the trip~!

SBC #30 Zelda & Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon & Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore
In 1993, Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon was released for the Phillips CD-i. Thanks to the mismanagement of the Super Nintendo CD add-on (a peripheral that would ultimately birth one of Nintendo’s greatest competitors), Phillips was granted two significant Nintendo licenses with seemingly zero oversight. This led to Mario and Luigi stealing hotels from children, Link robbing a library, and the…
