    Mermaid Video Games and Comics?

    Hey everyone I was wondering if anyone knew any video games that had mermaids in it. Could be for a short amount of time or something relevant to the plot. I'd love to just find more Merfolk games. I'd also like to find some more comic books to read if any of you know any comics about merpeople.

    I used to love the game Legend of Mana for PS2. It has a mermaid in it named Revanshe as well as a siren named Rachel. They are NPCs, yu cannot play as them, but I loved the storylines and quests surrounding them.

    Thank you so much! I'll definitely pick this title up on PSN. But I only found it on the PlayStation one

    Thank you either way! It looks like a good game.

    Off the top of my head, "Shantae: Half-Genie Hero" allows you to play as a mermaid once you get a certain power. It is kind of like playing through a Saturday morning cartoon in a good way.

    I'm actually currently trying to push through the levels of Shantae~ I want a game that at one point has a story arc about mer folk. Sadly I don't think one exists

    The main character is not a mermaid, but she is aquatic: Aquaria.

    Ooh nice! Which Monkey Island game are we talking about because there's quite a few :O I'm guessing the one that refers to is the telltale one.

    The fifth one. Yep, it's the Telltale game:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_Monkey_Island

    It's also worth mentioning that the previous two games, "The Curse of Monkey Island" and "Escape from Monkey Island" also contain references to merfolk although none appear as actual characters in these games. In Curse a picture of King Triton can be seen as a decorative element on the map in the ship combat sequence. King Triton is also referenced in a song lyric in this game. Also when the main character's crew want to stop sailing with him the excuse provided by one of the crewmembers is that they have heard the Siren calling to them and that she wants them to do her haircut. (In addition to being pirates, the crewmen are also barbers by profession)
    In Escape a statue depicting a merboy can be seen in the town on Mêlée Island.

    There’s a comic book called Shahrazad and it features mermaids.
    Here’s a link: http://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Shah...ue-1?id=123318

    Sirens lament is one of the best online webcomics for mermaids I've ever seen. It should be turned into a TV show or movie.

    The Legend of Zelda series actually has a good number of mermaids in it. Notably, mermaid characters in Link's Awakening, Phantom Hourglass, sort of in Twilight Princess, and Oracle of Ages.

    Oracle of Ages is interesting because in that one, you, playing as Link, are the merman! He gets an item called the mermaid suit that allows him to swim in the deep sea. Was Link a fan of tail-swimming?

    I'm excited, cause a lot of people are talking about how Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons might be remade in the next few years.

    The Sims 4 Island Living expansion has merfolk.

    When I do play it, I populate the town with my spawn. And sometimes kill male humans, especially the lazy and umemployed ones.

    Has anyone mentioned Abzu? Its beautiful and an amazing work of ocean art with a deep back story. No mermaids but its exquisite and worth playing. No danger even, just relaxation.
    Subnautica is also an awesome underwater tale from another world. No mermaids either, but it feels like one.

    I was about to talk about Abzu and Subnautica. Neither have merfolk but both are set in the ocean and are beautiful.

    I haven't read this comic yet, so I don't know the quality of the story, but here we go: https://viewcomiconline.com/grimm-fa...rmaid-issue-1/

    Someone else mentioned Webtoons with Siren's Lament, which made me really happy and LOL. I didn't know anyone else liked Webtoons.

    I have another suggestion that has to do with mermaids, but it's a TV show rather than a video game or comic. The TV show is a South Korean drama called The Legend of the Blue Sea. I loved it! If you decide to watch it, skip Episode 0. You can also put on English subtitles if it doesn’t automatically do so. https://www.viki.com/tv/32240c-the-l...f-the-blue-sea

    NSFW: Another suggestion is a very bizarre, confusing Polish movie called The Lure (2015). It's a musical full of nudity, sex, murder, and cannibalism, just to let you all know.
