''Star Fox Adventures'' is notable for being a departure from the rail-shooter genre that the series had been established upon. Fox moves around Dinosaur Planet and the four SpellStone areas on foot, and the locations are set in three-dimensional environments, where Fox must collect items and solve puzzles as he goes along. There are a few instances where Fox does pilot his [[Arwing]], but only for traveling between the different areas of the planet.

The gameplay is heavily based on ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''. Fox is unable to jump unless he runs off the edge of an object or a cliff, and can roll after landing on the ground, in the same fashion that Link jumps off edges. ''Star Fox Adventures'' also has a day-and-night phase, but a more accurate and gradual one. A key difference with ''Star Fox Adventures'' is that Fox automatically acquires his targets by approaching them, unlike in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', where the player must use manual [[zeldawiki:Targeting|targeting]] to lock-on their target.

In [[ThornTail Hollow]], the hub location on Dinosaur Planet itself, Fox finds [[Krystal's Staff]] sticking out of the ground. After pulling it out, Fox uses staff for his main weapon during the rest of his adventure (as General Pepper prohibited him from using his Blaster). The staff itself is mostly used in combat, but with [[Staff Upgrade]]s, Fox can use the Staff to perform additional tasks, including firing projectiles, freezing enemies, or boosting up to higher areas.
