My favorite indie game inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has a brand new expansion out, doubling the size of the base game, and the DLC naturally borrows from Tears of the Kingdom with an underground pivot.

Arguably the best thing about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild might just be all the fantastic indie games it's influenced over the years, with dozens of modest open-world games, like Sable and A Short Hike, trusting players to go their own way in maps devoid of a million markers.

And just this week, developer MegaWobble released Lil Gator Game: In the Dark, a game-sized expansion that takes our bubbly hero to an underground cave. "Getting to the caves is as easy as following your nose," the expansion's Steam page says." In the base game's island, you’ll stumble upon a lil' entrance that’' been there all along, to take you below ground."
