In what ways is it like Super Mario 64?
The, going from place to place and jumping in a portal bit. The platformer nature of a lot of the levels they’ve showed.
To me it does not seem very similar to a 3D platformer, but more akin to the GBA top down Zelda games. The addition of what looks like a standard jump is pretty reminiscent of the jump mechanic item you can unlock in those games, keeping the platforming pretty basic. The copy/paste ability they are showing off with the wand looks really intriguing, but from what I can tell that seems to be the only big departure from something like Link’s Awakening. Still looks interesting to me, and cool to see the ability to play as Zelda!
