What Zelda-like games have extensive character customization (like World of Warcraft)?
Yeah, beside specifying what you mean with Zelda-like (og LoZ? aLttP? Classic 3D Zelda? Open world BotW?)…
Also depends what you mean with customisation. If you want games that go crazy with both cosmetic and optimization/equipment management, Xenoblade Chronicles games kinda fit the bill. Especially X that’s getting a remaster soon. That one has avatar customisation, different classes, an absurd number of equipment slots for both you and your mech. And stats. So many freaking stats.
They’re not exactly traditional action games the way Zelda usually works though.
Zelda like? You’ll have to specify a bit. What installment are we talking about?
The best one, Zelda 2.
