Humble Zelda: Un lien vers le passé Tribute 'Airoheart’ La maison des morts

Pixel Heart Games’ loving tribute to The Legend of Zelda: Un lien au passé and 16-bit adventure classics Airoheart has a confirmed Switch release date of 30th September.

Publisher Soedesco has announced that it’s bringing the action RPG to the Switch later this year, and this announcement follows closed beta testing from the game back in February.

From the adventure gameplay, sword slashing, grass cutting, and SNES-style pixel art, Airoheart wears its inspirations proudly, but with a humble, homely feel. But our hero Airoheart must still save the world like the Hero of Time, but unlike Link, he must face family to do so.

The game has been a labour of love for the Australian development studio since 2017, and after a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2020, the team have managed to complete and craft a fully-realised world that encapsulates everything we love about the classics.

Soedesco shared some more details about the game with us in a press release, so here’s what to expect from this link to the past:
