FINAL SWORD Releases On The Nintendo eShop And Is Immediately Pulled For Using Music From THE LEGEND OF ZELDA

A game called Final Sword was recently added to the Nintendo eShop, and was immediately pulled for blatantly using music from Nintendo's very own The Legend of Zelda series.

Final Sword is a video game developed by a company called HUP Games, that was initially released as a mobile game, and was recently added to the Nintendo Switch eShop for players to play on the popular handheld hybrid console.

The game is described as a role-playing title that HUP Games themselves describe as the "original action RPG", which is a bold description for the game, but we'll give them the benefit of the doubt — as it isn't this, the reason why we're reporting about this title.

Final Sword has blatantly ripped Nintendo off by using music from the critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda series; particularly "Zelda's Lullaby", which was first introduced in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, although most people know it from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time; the latter being the version Final Sword used.

This information was first spotted by Twitter user @mossarilyOBJECT, who shared a short clip of Final Sword in which you can easily tell that The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past's "Zelda's Lullaby" tune is blatantly being used as part of the game. This, of course, prompted Nintendo to take action, and the game has since been removed from the Japanese Nintendo Switch eShop.

In this day and age, one would expect developers to know better than to simply rip off the company whose platform they're trying to sell their games on. Bad form, HUP Games.
