Guardian Tales is a free-to-play* action-adventure RPG by Kakao Games for mobile devices (Android/iOS) and the Nintendo Switch, played in stages with various quests, complex puzzles, and reactive action combat, inspired by the original The Legend of Zelda game. Players explore a wide range of different worlds that pay homage to the rich history of video games that inspired its creation. On top of its main single-player campaign, the game also features PVP and guild modes.
