James Bond 007 is secretly one of the best Legend of Zelda-esque adventure games. There, I said it.
If you think I’m lying, look up gameplay videos on YouTube, it’s right there! Assigning buttons A and B to items which you then use, the open-world areas where you must use these items to progress, a huge (for the Game Boy) cast of characters, I could go on.
Combine this with a mish-mash plot that manages to work in both Jaws AND Oddjob as villains make it one of the unsung “best” Bond games, right next to GoldenEye on the Nintendo 64. Coincidentally, both these games released in 1997 and since then, every Bond game has been dire.
