The Legend of Zelda vs. Magical Drop is a crossover puzzle battling game for the Nintendo Switch. This video game was cancelled on both the Wii and Wii U consoles due to confusion and error. The Legend of Zelda vs. Magical Drop features all of the characters from Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda and Data East's (now G-Mode's) Magical Drop. This video game has been released on December 14, 2018. Also, it was published by Nintendo and Golgoth Studio and developed by Grezzo, UTV Ignition Entertainment and Bandai Namco Entertainment.
Gameplay[]
The Legend of Zelda vs. Magical Drop is played in a style based on the Magical Drop franchise where players try to match at least groups of three or more drops in a vertical line. This new feature allows players to level up to boost their stats. Some characters may perform a transformation while leveling up. Each character (except for the others who don't change) comes in 2-3 different variants. When playing as either a Mario or a Ghostlop character, the style becomes a Ghostlop pattern.
