The greatest compliment I can give the Legend of Zelda-inspired Twilight Sword RPG is "I have no idea how they weren't sued while making this." It distills everything that makes Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, and the rest so beloved before lacing that knowledge into a D&D-style game.
I was able to get my hands on a physical copy early, and as a lifelong Legend of Zelda fan who also happens to adore the best tabletop RPGs, believe me when I say that Twilight Sword is entirely my jam. It may be the closest we'll ever get to riding across Hyrule at our tables, and it's immediately gone onto my to-do list once I've finished my current D&D campaign.
Twilight Sword has just hit shelves. You can either pick it up straight from publisher Free League or, if you're based in the UK, grab it for a discount via Wayland Games (which tends to be a good source of reduced tabletop RPGs or bargains on the best board games).
Twilight Sword wears its heart on its sleeve. Between a Breath of the Wild-esque cover and monsters that feel as though they've been plucked from Hyrule field, this RPG isn't ashamed of its roots. It's a love-letter celebrating all things Legend of Zelda (up to and including the recent Ocarina of Time remake ), from a world map using the classic wheel and spoke structure to formatting that wouldn't look out of place in Tears of the Kingdom. There's even a corrupted castle at the center of everything, covered in a familiar red glow reminiscent of Calamity Ganon.
