Gaming Historian shares the history of Crusader of Centy, a Sega Genesis Zelda clone

The Gaming Historian has shared a documentary video about a little-known Sega Genesis game titled Crusader of Centy, in North America. The game is noteworthy for being Sega’s Zelda-clone — a response to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

I was surprised that I had not heard of this game, but after watching the video I learned that it was released in North America very late in the Sega Genesis console generation, so the game is quite rare.

If you have any interest in gaming history or past games that tried to recreate the “Zelda magic”, this video is for you.
