{{Stub}} {{ElementInfobox | image = Gta1-pcSS.jpg | caption = Top-down perspective as seen in Grand Theft Auto | type = Terminology }} '''''Top-down perspective video games''''' are [[video game]]s where the perspective the player sees is from above, looking down, also referred to as '''birds-eye view''' or '''helicopter view'''. This view varies slightly from [[Dimetric perspective video games|dimetric perspective]] or [[Isometric perspective video games|isometric perspective]] since top-down is directly above while dimetric/isometric views appear slightly to one side in an attempt to add depth. Top-down view is mostly used in [[RPG]]s such as the [[Final Fantasy (series)|''Final Fantasy'' series]] and even [[action video games|action]] and [[adventure video games|adventure]] video games like ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'' or ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]''. ==See also== * [[First-person perspective video games]] * [[Third-person perspective video games]] * [[Isometric perspective video games]] {{Genres}}
