I've played a bit of OoT3D before, but dropped it very early on.

My kid wanted BotW, but my wife bought him Link's Awakening (Switch) instead.

However, I've been playing it far more than him and I absolutely love it!

I just entered the third dungeon, that's where I stopped last night. My only gripe so far is that there isn't a way to run. But maybe later on?!

I think you'll enjoy the third dungeon. Key Cavern is good.

Links Awakening Switch is pretty great and definitely the best LoZ on Switch.

You've pretty much got the exact same Zelda experience as me

There are more than 2 LoZ games on Switch especially if you count the Nintendo Online stuff

The only thing she probably remembered was that it's a Zelda game.

She went with her gut and, well, was wrong.

I'm enjoying it far more than I would've enjoyed BotW, at least!

Link's Awakening is just as good a place to start with the series now as it was when I started with it almost 30 years ago

Starting at the top is probably a worse idea the longer the series goes on because you'll be increasingly disappointed with each other game you play.

Oh that makes sense then, I thought she did it on purpose

Finished the Key Cavern. I can finally run... kind of!

Why are the dungeons named "Level 1", "Level 2" and so forth?

Now I'm supposed to go to the desert next. Haven't been there yet.

They're named that way as a holdover to the Game Boy/NES/Famicom days of numbering stages.

You *can* do them out of order, but only slightly. There's some story triggers you need to trip in some cases, or get the item from one dungeon only to leave it unfinished (and back on the Game Boy, that was a big game plan, because you could keep Bow Wow with you during your Bottle Grotto delve and he'd occasionally eat story triggers.)

Yeah, I think I remember that back on the first or second dungeon there were some bomb-able cave walls and I didn't have bombs back there.

Not sure if I should backtrack now or before the final area/dungeon.

Went back to Tail Cave, bombed a wall and got a secret seashell.

Spent some time in the Trendy Game and Fishing Pond.

Tomorrow I might grind enough rupees for the Bow and Arrows.

Love LA. Was my first Zelda and my absolute favourite until BotW. Still holds up and the Switch version has some much needed QoL features. Constantly swapping your items on the original was such a ball ache. Not a huge fan of the new art style still, but it grew on me more than I thought it would.
