Below are just a few selected links taken out of the expanded links sections categorized by series at XyZ. So you may want to take a look at the entire link listing-by-series if you want to see them all. Also, I've included a section about miscellaneous games that are similar to Xak, Ys and Zelda and are also part of the Action-Adventure-RPG genre further down this page.
XAK SERIES LINKS | |
WOOMB.net specializes in the English translation and localization of several classic MSX/MSX2 games including the Xak Series. | |
A great site for information regarding Xak III and the home of the English translation patch. Honestly if it wasn't for this site, I most likely would have not found out about the Xak series and this site wouldn't exist. | |
Wikipedia entry on the Xak series. | |
A very good Japanese fansite of the Xak series and of Fray, Latok and other memorable Xak characters. This site has all sorts of interesting Xak facts, series fanart, a Xak series encyclopedia, messageboard and many 2-D animated character fighting-game sprites of Latok Kart which have been implented into a 2-D Grapple fighting game that you can download and play. (Computer must be set in Japanese mode to play) | |
A new English fansite for Fray In Magical Adventure | |
YS SERIES LINKS | |
The best online community for discussion and information regarding the Ys series. | |
A very impressive Ys information fansite with a great deal of content. | |
A nice collage of Ys information, screenshots and artwork. | |
The main site for the translation of Nightwolve's Ys I & II Complete for the PC. | |
ZELDA SERIES LINKS | |

The official Nintendo Legend of Zelda series website. | |
One of the biggest Zelda fansites around. | |
Also one of the biggest Zelda fansites around. | |
The main site for a computer program called Zelda Classic which allows you to make your very own Zelda quests. | |
An interesting romhacking project by a guy named GameMakr24 who really knows his Zelda. I've played a lot of Zelda rom hacks and his was by far the best and the most challenging and much of the original game's programing and mechanics have been cleverly implemented into new kinds of puzzles. Zelda 3C is a new Zelda III rom hacking project that is currently under development. | |
MISC XAK/YS/ZELDA AND ACTION-ADVENTURE-RPG LINKS | |
A popular site dealing with the MSX scene which that is still flourishing even to this day. A true testament of how good a system the MSX really was and still is. Many of the members here are fans of Xak and Ys. | |
This is Nightwolve's main website and forum community. For those who do know who Nightwolve is, he is a fan translator who is responsible for heading many Ys English translation projects and also the English translation of Xak III: The Eternal Recurrence. | |
An online community for those interested in learning about how to make your own PC-Engine games. Also the main project forum for the fan-game development of Neutopia III. | |
