EarthBound X Zelda

Earthbound X Zelda (Mother kross Zelda in Japan; Maza Kurosu Zeruda) is another title in the X (or Kross) series, that of a puzzle game that bears striking resemblance to the Puzzle League series... Notably Pokemon Puzzle League. It is published by Nintendo and developed by Nonadison Lmt and Intelligent Systems.

Plot
Link was just defending the Triforce from Ganon once more, in order to save Princess Zelda. All of a sudden, Ganon transformed back into the mighty Ganondorf and created a portal that sucked him, Link, and all the other inhabitants of their universe into another dimension...

In Onett, Ness, Poo, Paula, and Jeff were all celebrating their victory after defeating Pokey Minch, who has just brainwashed Giygas (Giegue in Japan), an alien who was neither a child or a grownup, wanting friends in the end. While the friends were relaxing after saving their world, out of the blue, the Triforce has just arrived out of nowhere, indicating that Link and the others in that universe were somewhere. Pokey suddenly appeared out of nowhere, with a new generation of Pigmask Army recruits and looking slightly older. Just when he arrived, Link and all the people in his universe came down unexpectedly into Onett, looking quite puzzled and forced Pokey to send them back... All Pokey did was laugh uncontrollably and took out a glowing orb, which he stated that it would brainwash all those who prove a threat. Nearly everyone in the Earthbound and Zelda worlds were immediately brainwashed and started planning for world domination, along with Pokey and his massive army.

Just then, we come across two heroes who did not get affected by the power of that mysterious orb... These two are Link and Ness, who both team up in order to defeat both Pokey and Ganon, once and for all, and in order to do that, they must save those who were brainwashed.
