Finally got this game for Christmas! Thanks, yum yum! It's a beautiful remake of the game that made me fall in love with the Legend of Zelda franchise. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to try it. You don't have to have played any Zelda game to enjoy it. My recommendation would be to wait for a sale since it's an older game at this point.
Link's Awakening is one of those few games who perfected its craft in terms of how they remake them. This game actually gave a me vibe that I'm playing a classic game while experiencing the new generations. It offers a lot of potential and a fun experience as well. The puzzle variation and exploration of this game is always on point and continually gives me challenges while I play it. **VISUALS** _Artistry: 8/12_ _Technical Merit: 6/8_ **SOUND DESIGN** _Music: 9/12_ _Sound Effects & Vocals: 6/8_ **INTERACTION** _Control & Interface: 7/8_ _Player Agency: 7/8_ _Accessibility: 4/4_ **MECHANICS** _Feedback & Fun: 8/10_ _Depth: 4/5_ _Variety: 3/5_ **CHARACTER** _Narrative: 7/8_ _Heart: 5/6_ _Originality: 6/6_
**Absolutely adorable**
I am a Zelda fan, but for be a remake I don't feel is a good game. The story stay the same as the original with slightly changes. One of the few zelda's games which you only play once.
Gets tedious a bit tedious and predictable but fun.
The game is very enjoyable even if you played the original 1993 version on the GameBoy or 1998 remastered on the GameBoy color. The story and the world map are the same as in the original game there are no changes. When I was playing, it brought back good memories as I recognized the map, the characters, and the enemies. You have a new side quest in the game which is dungeon making with Dampé. I really enjoyed making some of the dungeons, it’s easy and it’s a good addition to the game as it replaces the photograph collecting quest from The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX (1998). The remake has nice all-new graphics that are mesmerizing. It has a new and improved soundtrack too which is amazing as most of the Zelda games. It is not a long one, I would say less than 10 hours, but you can stretch it by playing here and there for a few hours at a time. I recommend this game for kids and fans.
