from what I've played so far

like all the trailers have shown it's pretty much exactly like the original just with a reskin

the sword and shield no longer take up item inventory slots, they are locked to B and R respectively

honestly the only reason to play this is for the music

it also sucks that you have to use the analog stick and you can't use the directional buttons to move

haven't gotten them yet but I'm pretty sure the pegasus boots will be assigned to the L button since it plays so much like albw

Seashells are in the game, and while the entire overworld is "seamless", there is blur around the edges of the screen that acts to emulate the shifting screen of the original, so if you cut some grass and let the blur cover the grass it will regenerate like you moved to another screen and then went back
Rupees are not displayed on the HUD which is an inconvenience
Shield moblin combat is a little more involved now, you have to either hit them from behind or deflect an attack and hit them to do damage

you can jump and fall on goombas, but you'll take damage if you try to squash them on a ladder

Noice. Link's Awakening is one of my favorite games of all time so I'm pretty hyped. Considering the sheer number of games I'm playing concurrently, it'd also be nice to have something more bite-sized relatively, though I never felt Link's Awakening was a small adventure.

Is it just harder or are the dungeons different?

I wonder if they remade Easter eggs from the original, like Marin occasionally talking like a murderous psycho instead of telling you to stop when you hit a chicken or the music changing in that frog guy's house if you wait like 15 minutes. Like the deep Easter eggs like that, not the well known ones like getting chickens to attack you or changing your name to ZELDA

Let us know if the genie is crazy like in the original or nerfed like in the color version.

Yeah same for me. I'm on my 3rd playthrough of FE >.>, only about 1/3 way through Astral Chain, playing this game Daemon x Machina which is sorta mindless pick up and play kinda fun which I don't mind, and a game called AI: Somnium Files that I'm picking up next week.

I still didn't finish Valkyria Chronicles 4... and have not sufficiently touched on Mario Maker 2. Too many freaking games

60 bucks for an 8 hour game that looks like this is a no for me always. We legit had record breaking cinematic and shit from modern adventures games from Uncharted to tomb raider to DmC, this is a waste of money at full price tbh.

I'll be waiting for a buy 2 get 1 free or a deep discount to under 30 before even considering it.

If there's anything Link's Awakening won't do, it's waste your time. The game is compact and basically just all around great for every little time you spend with it. You can also technically play it as long as you want due to the dungeon maker

If there's any sort of Black Friday deal I will definitely pick this up, but it's just not worth the $60 price tag.

I had it as a kid but I never beat it. I plan to put my adult brain to work and finally figure out all the stuff I got stuck on.


There was one piece of heart that took me forever to find. I also got stuck on the trading game because I couldn't find the fisherman. I had the same issue in both cases.

I struggled with the first form of the final boss because I couldn't figure out how to hurt it. I tried the correct item multiple times but I must have been missing with it. You can still damage it with the sword but it takes forever. Most of the time you won't damage it but like 1% of the time or less and it will take a hit. Takes like at least an hour though -_-

Ruined a few save files from fucking around with the screen skip glitch and ending up with the game saving while I was stuck in a wall or in a hole-falling endless loop lol, or at the 7th dungeon entrance with the tower not turned around yet and thus no door.

I was stuck on that dream ocarina section because I didn't have the right item yet and kept getting rekt by those movement-tracking enemies.

Got stuck in dungeon 2 because I couldn't figure out the clue and didn't know what enemy names were (they re-did that clue for the gbc version so it must have been an issue for a lot of people) and had trouble with the boss.

The pillar puzzle in dungeon 7 frustrated me a lot. I found a workaround glitch for it on a second play through to avoid having to do it again >_>, and the 7th boss gave me such a hard time that I ragequit the dungeon, went to dungeon 8 and finished them in reverse order because the fire rod kills the 7th boss in 3 hits (I didn't know about arrowbombs then)

Nostalgia even for the parts that annoyed me, lol
