PS3 Games Similar to Zelda?

Hey guys, I just got a PS3 this Winter on Black Friday, and I've enjoyed my fair share of games. I've played Uncharted, inFamous, Portal, Batman, and Skyrim. And I was wondering if there are any Playstation 3 games that are similar to Zelda style? I loved Skyward Sword, so anything similar to that would be fantastic.

Ah-- That might be hard considering Zelda is quite a unique genre.

You've played the fair amount of quality games; Uncharted and Portal are really good if you're looking for the type of 'puzzle' aesthetic that Zelda provides.

I can't really help you unless you can tell me what you look for in a Zelda game; maybe we could slim your choices down?

There's a game called 3D Dot Game Heroes by ATLUS.
It homes back to the old-school, overview, pixelated games in a 3D environment. It's highly reminiscent of the original Zeldas and I hear it includes a few references.

Alright thanks! I'll look into that one. As far as what I look for in a Zelda game, I'm really big into exploration games. That doesn't necessarily mean it has to be an RPG, but any third-person exploration adventures would be awesome. I also like cool items in games, too, so that's why I got Skyrim. Puzzles are fun and challenging, too, but not a necessity.
