Poll of the Day > I'm both excited and annoyed for Link's Awakening

(+) Yeah! (+)

Don't really want to buy a game that's 25 years old but also it does look kinda cool.

I think I may have heard there are some new things, but cant quite remember... I already bought it, though...

Its not a game thats 25 years old. Its a remake of a game thats 23 years old with new additions.

And still manages to be overpriced. That game should be $35-40.

I already bought it but I used a Nintendo Voucher for it, so I got it for a reduced price.

I've replayed through almost every other 2D Zelda over the past few months (purposely avoiding the original Link's Awakening of course), so I'd say I'm kind of hyped. I'm hoping there is a lot new content, but they've been suspiciously quiet about it.

I wish it was an actually new 2D Zelda instead (A Link Between Worlds was absolutely spectacular), but this will do.

Well, it isn't. Too bad for you.

it has a dungeon builder

I'm excited. I only got to play the original for a short time, it being a rental and all. I'll pick it up sometime later when I'm done with school and actually have time to play it. I still plan on getting Mario Maker too

Having heard from this topic about it, I looked it up and I dont like the art style. Dont know if I could play that game looking at that. Also 60 dollars for a new skin is sorta rough.

Well, new skins, new additions (like new puzzles and such), and a dungeon builder(so says Larry)...

Not worth it. Would have been better priced at 40

Probably. I like when stuff is cheaper. As do most people. But I dont mind paying full for it. New stuff and everything is cool, so...

Ill buy it. But I never played the original. So this will be a new experience for me.

Sums it up. That's when I buy a Switch.

My cartridge battery died on my original so I'll probably get the new one for myself and the kids.
---

The biggest thing that annoys me is the blurred edges. Why are they like that?

---

I can't see paying $60 for it, but if it ever winds up being $30 or less then sure.
---

I'll probably get it eventually. I still haven't beaten astral chain, and daemon x machina comes out soon.

I've played Link's Awakening DX, and just thought it was ok. Never finished it. I think it might be one of the only Zelda games that I've played and never finished.

They somehow made that remaster look worse than the WW one.

As much as I enjoyed Link's Awakening I have no need to play the same game again with a different art style (an ugly one of you ask me) and a multiplayer I don't care about.

If they wanted me to buy it again they needed to make a Resident Evil 2 Remake style remake where there was real effort put into remaking the game into a new experience.

What are the new additions besides upgraded graphics?

I thought they said new puzzles. And I think Larry said Dungeon Maker or something...

You can earn Chamber Stones to put in the Chamber Dungeon. No idea what this means but it's something new by my understanding.

Ill wait for a sale

Aren't first-party Nintendo games notorious for almost never dropping in price?

I've seen some DS games that are still at like $35 used. And that's from a $40 retail price.

Eh. I'd probably get it anyway if I had a Switch but that's not really that cool. I prefer new in game content like extra dungeons/items.
