The original Legend of Zelda is over 30 years old but it's still being cribbed from by developers - sometimes even as a direct homage. Last year's Hyper Light Drifter is one of the most obvious modern examples. Now, this year, we have Songbringer, which takes the Zelda characteristics into a procedurally generated planet, full of secrets and dungeons.
It works by having you choose a six-letter word before you start on your quest. That word generates a world seed for you to head into - you can use one you're familiar with if you like, or produce something totally new.
From there, you take on the role of accidental hero Roq Epimetheos, who stumbles across the nanosword - a blade forged to destroy evil - as he evades the galactic police, exploring as many planets as he can.
