From the developers of Shovel Knight.

I started playing this over the past couple of nights. And its really good.

If you ever start thinking about maybe i could play an older Zelda game---play this instead!
I recently watched the reveal trailers for the Ocarina of Time Remake, and was thinking about some past Zelda games and then......oh yeah! Mina The Hollower released a few months ago!


Gameplay-wise, its basically Alundra, mixed with a little bit of Dark Souls (for combat and gear)

And if you don't know: Alundra is basically Zelda, with more jumping and verticality. (I also highly recommend Alundra). Another game with some similarities would be Crusader of Centy, on Sega Genesis. Which again, is Zelda with more jumping and plane switching.

The visual style is like a Gameboy Color Zelda game---sorta. The screens are actually a little bit more detailed and full of enemies and environmental objects (due to 16:9 widescreen and no limitation on amount of active sprites)
But, the overall visual style, is extremely reminiscent of Gameboy Color.

Its also ported to just about everything. So, you can play it where you want. This would be rad on Switch.

I kinda dont actually recommend watching trailers. But, here's a short one if you need it:

And this is entertaining but.....you also probably shouldn't watch it for long. Unless you REALLY need some convincing to play this!

Eh? I seen nothing but praise for this game. That said I don't think it sold that well.

It wasn't a mega sales monster, like Hollow Knight: Silksong. But...its doing just fine.

As of June 8th (about 10 days after release):

Studio founder and director Sean Velasco mentioned in an interview last year how 500,000 sales for Mina the Hollower would be "golden". More recently, he spoke about his ambitious goal for the game to sell one millon copies, claiming he would even be "disappointed" if Mina didn't hit this amount.

Thanks to the strong sales, the team apparently won't have to make any cuts or take outside investment, and can instead focus on marketing the title, fixing some bugs and patching Mina's adventure. The game has also become one of the highest-rated titles of 2026.
