*** Depending on the definition, possibly ''all'' games in the Zelda series, since the leading characteristic of a Metroidvania is not its sidecrolling nature, but the hybridization of Puzzle/Adventure elements, and the use of VideoGameTools ''specifically'' to make it to new areas. ''VideoGame/LufiaIIRiseOfTheSinistrals'', despite having many of the same elements, ''cannot'' be considered this, since these tools are restricted to dungeons, rather than being used to move around in the world itself.
*** Lufia 2 is a Metroidvania, as much as any Zelda game is. While you don't use your items on the world map, aside from vehicles opening up later exploration (which probably also counts as far as world maps go), most maps require going into a "dungeon" zone for transitioning between areas which allows item use (there are several dungeon by-passes, and hidden areas that can be found after acquiring certain items and are required for further progress), and often after first few towns, have items or side quests you need to backtrack later to complete/acquire. By your logic, neither is Symphony of the Night since the whole game takes place in a single dungeon.

There hasn't been a Metroidvania Castlevania since 2008, but I wasn't quite sure how to relate that.
