Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King treated Zelda fans to a well-crafted homage to A Link to the Past when it launched in March 2017. While some argued it adhered a bit too close to the Super Nintendo classic, Game Informer<\/em> editor Brian Shea nevertheless praised Blossom Tales in his\u00a08\/10 review<\/a>\u00a0as a\u00a0\u201cdelightful take on a familiar style\u201d. Now it\u2019s getting a sequel.<\/p>\n

Blossom Tales 2: The Minotaur Prince doesn\u2019t stray from the formula of the original. The retro-art and gameplay remain the same, so expect plenty of dungeon-crawling and puzzle-solving across a vibrant 2D world. You still control the warrior Lily in an adventure steered by the same grandfather narrating your exploits\u00a0to his grandkids, who can alter your encounters on a whim. Think The Princess Bride<\/em> if you didn\u2019t play the first game.\u00a0There may not be any radical differences, but the game still looks like a nostalgic good time, especially if you\u2019ve been itching for a classic Zelda experience. Plus, after developer Castle Pixel had a brush with closure<\/a> in 2017, it\u2019s nice to see the team firing back with a new game.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Like the first game, Blossom Tales 2: The Minotaur Prince will be available on Switch and PC. It\u2019s scheduled to arrive sometime in 2022.<\/p>\n
