Dragon Quest III HD Zelda Breath of the Wild

It may not have been something that fans would immediately assume, but it turns out that Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is taking some inspiration from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

That news comes from producer Masaaki Hayasaka. In a recent interview, he said that Square Enix wanted to capture that same sense of adventure that Zelda provides – seeing something off in the distance that catches your eye and wanting to head in that direction.

Here’s what Hayasaka had to say about the Zelda: Breath of the Wild inspiration for Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake:

Cat Quest The Fur-tastic Trilogy physical

Cat Quest III did come to Switch physically at launch, but very soon fans can get their hands on an additional boxed release known as The Fur-tastic Trilogy.

You’ll actually be getting the entire franchise here. Cat Quest, Cat Quest II, and Cat Quest III will all be included on a single cartridge. Additionally, you’ll be provided with a digital art book and vinyl sticker as bonuses.

For those playing Epic Mickey: Rebrushed and looking to easily get E-tickets, we’ve got you covered with a helpful farm guide.

Compared to other 3D platformers, there’s a much higher emphasis on money in Epic Mickey: Rebrushed. Most of the major areas, namely Mean Street and Ventureland, contain shops that sometimes stock fairly expensive items. For the most part, the game is somewhat stingy with its E-tickets. You’ll find them scattered around hidden inside breakable objects, but this actually isn’t enough for you to comfortably afford most of the items you’ll want to get. We found a surprisingly simple (and effective) way to farm E-tickets in a pinch, so if you’re short on cash, you’ve come to the right place.
