are there puzzle games out there that let you have a character and feature some sort of minor combat/other mechanic like zelda does but with more puzzles than zelda?

for the frog the bell tolls for gameboy is pretty drat close to what you're looking for. it's got dungeons, puzzles, was made in the same engine as link's awakening, and the combat consists of walking into enemies and if you have more health, you kill them.

Like ten loving years of looking on and off and barely being able to remember anything and digging through more shareware than is healthy and between that post and you, it gets figured out in like 3 hours.

yesssssssssss

it was made by the dev of everquest and it never got a full release until some guy found it on a floppy or something and was given the OK to post it online

looking at it brings back hella memories

you have made my day
No problem, I enjoy figuring stuff out like that

Ittle Dew is Zelda but just Puzzles and jokes OP. The jokes are often dumb but sometimes funny.

Yeah but the combat can be a bit much until you either die 20 times and get the op as poo poo weapon or you 100% the game (which is loving bullshit because this game's version of gold skulltullas can be skipped forever) and get the even more op weapon.

anodyne was awesome except for those one or two puzzles where you needed perfect timing on jumps.
