A new 3DS game called “The Legend of Kusakari: The Legend of Shiba Kaarii” has landed on the Japanese eShop. It seems to take inspiration from one particular element (aside from the name!) in Zelda: grass-cutting.

The Legend of Kusakari: The Legend of Shiba Kaarii, an action RPG, stars Shiba Kaarii. Since he wants heroes to be able to fight comfortably, he sets out to cut all of the grass in the battlefield to make it easier for them.

Heroes and monsters appear on the field while you’re cutting grass, and you’ll even see them fighting. Players will need to proceed cautiously, as enemies can hurt Shiba.

The Legend of Kusakari: The Legend of Shiba Kaarii features 50 stages, an Endless Mode that has players cutting grass for as long as they can, and a Mission Mode. It’s also possible to enhance the “Spinning Grass Cut” move by up to four levels.
