Crunchyroll News has published a listicle recommending ten anime series that capture the adventurous spirit of The Legend of Zelda franchise. This guide was released to coincide with the launch of the Ocarina of Time remake, aiming to help fans find similar entertainment while revisiting the classic game. The article highlights titles such as Frieren: Beyond Journey's End and Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai, noting their exploration mechanics and fantasy settings. It also suggests Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- for its time-loop narrative structure, which mirrors Majora’s Mask.
