An indie platformer inspired by the worst Zelda games ever made is getting a special controller inspired by one of the worst input devices ever made

Nintendo-branded titles like Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon were particularly infamous, but their weird cutscenes and big ideas gave them a certain cult following.
