The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is a remake of the 1993 game of the same name. Besides the complete graphical and sound overhaul, its gameplay controls have been changed to incorporate the additional buttons the Switch holds as opposed to the 2-button choice of the Game Boy. The overworld map is far more detailed and specific locations can now be marked to be returned to on a later occasion. Additional heart-pieces can also be won, extending the heart meter to a total of 20 instead of the 14 hearts of the original.

Insane going through this again having repressed Zelda memories come surging back after 20+ years on what to do / where to go. The visual design is cute as a button, but the slowdown and load times kinda stink.

Plenty of fun playing an oldschool top-down Zelda game in 2019! World is small enough that now and then I would just take an hour and sweep the whole thing looking for heart pieces and stuff with my latest equipment. Had to consult an online guide to beat Eagle’s Tower. Still has a lovely dreamy vibe and memorable characters and a great bittersweet ending like the Game Boy original. Not 100% sure about the soundtrack - lacked a certain oomph.

Feels mostly like a puzzle made of dried shit. Endlessly repetitive and crammed with boring enemies. To make such an annoying Zelda game is a towering achievement. Also terrible controls.

Really loved this art style and revisiting this absolutely bizarre, weird, strange, nutty game all over again.

Looks gorgeous, full of character and clearly made with love. It has its moments of frustration trying to figure out what needs doing, but the missus also enjoys it so it sneaks a higher score.
