A cozy farming sim influenced by the mysticism and contemplation of The Legend of Zelda series

"At first Zelda brought us the epic adventure, no doubt about it, but Zelda has also been showing a cozy side for a long time now, with moments of calm and contemplation, not to mention the fun characters we meet along the way.

Then there's the recent remake of Link's Awakening with its beautiful cute visuals, which we also find a great inspiration.

In this way, even though the initial idea was not to create a “Zelda with farming elements", the references we had made that cozy elements with an adventure structure no longer seemed so distant from each other when balanced, and since then we have sought to realize the potential of this union of genres." Rodrigo Moreira - Lead Game Designer / Epopeia Games Co-founder.
