I didn’t really get the impression it was trying to be as funny as The Wand of Gamelon, et al. Like, it’s self-aware, but it also just kind of seems to be playing it straight? Feels more like an affectionate throwback to what games like that could have been if they were good instead of just “good”
But if they are trying to be as funny as the CD-i Zelda games then I respect the cojones it takes to try lmao

as far as I can tell the lead dev behind it legitimately likes those games beyond just memes, considering they made those remasters of them that greatly improve the gameplay, so I think this is less someone trying to make something that funny and more like your usual "spiritual successor to beloved classic" except that it's by someone with insanely out-there tastes

Yeah maybe it's just because I first saw it on twitter and associated it with overdone self-aware meme culture. The kinda stuff that gave rise to sassy brand accounts. If the Arzette team isn't making official YTPs about it then it'll probably be fine.
