The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening remake announced for Nintendo Switch
- Thread starter Mr. RPG
- Start date
I was actually going to joke about this. I think the game looks really nice.
Hey since you seek to have internal knowledge of Nintendo can you find out who the reming Smash DLC characters are?
Figure if you can find the exact budget of this title that should be easy.
My wishlist for this
- Better item management (Allow me to equip more than two items, make some items always equipped like the sword, shield, and strength bracelet, pegasus boots)
- Make the fetch quests simpler and feel less obtuse
- Don't keep the true ending behind a no death playthrough
- New dungeons
- More anime cutscenes
- Killer remixes
They shouldve renade this in the BotW engine. Doesnt look very good to me, I dont really like the adaptation of the original art.
Link's Awakening was my first Zelda. I think I had vague awareness of the NES Zeldas when I was little, but Link's Awakening is what made me fall in love with the series. You are in for a treat.
People complaining about the art style need to understand it was never about how it looked for LA, its about the music. If they remix and fuck it up then I'll be pissed. Anyways my take on the art style, I think everything looks great except for Link; Link just looks out of place for some reason.
I have N64. It looks like a N64 game. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No one wants you to pay any amounts for anything here dude.
I think you might need to get your eyes checked.
stop feeding salt to the troll, who's probably just a bit too proud to admit there's a huge difference
...um it really wasnt. Sometimes screenshots just don't do a game justice.
No its just your statements are fucking stupid and deserve mockery
Screw a "second quest" that's a hard mode of the same island. Give me a whole second island!
I'm hyping myself up for disappointment, lol.

Hm, interesting. Didn't consider this. Hopefully they make some big changes or add a lot of content. Otherwise you might be right.
I think the new art style not only is an interesting and awesome take on HD-ing GameBoy graphics but resonates well with the theme of the game.
But this is all being said based in a single trailer and in some cases solely because of the art style which is not a good way of judging value especially when the product is not yet near release.
Do we know the budget? What are the limits to how much something should cost based on that?
The harsh truth is that it's priced there because people (probably a lot of them thanks to BotW and the established brand before that) will pay that much for a Zelda branded game.
If other publishers were confident that they could charge $60 for a product and get meaningful sales numbers, they would. They don't price things at budget prices to do the consumers a favor.
totally...
The art style really reminds me of the style used in that clay Kirby game. And is absolutely gorgeous.
I think the argument could be made that BOTW was worth more than $60 tbh.
Captain Toad being a budget title despite being an all new game was acceptable so id say 40 sounds right for this.
Then just wait until the game is the price you're willing to pay for the budget you are guessing it has.
I don't care about how much it costs to make a game. I pay based on the amount I think I'll enjoy it. That's the only value that matters to me.
Maybe they'll keep the GBC dungeons, add a Switch specific dungeon or two. I'd be happy.
I do wonder if the online rumours are are true and there is an online co-op mode with randomly generated dungeons.
As of right now we know practically nothing about this game so anything is possible.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it will, but it's always a fear these days.
Not sure what you mean. Like 3D Dot Game Heroes? The "art style" on Gameboy was just whatever they could pack into the cartridge, which was very basic.
To be fair they got the LTTP look down as much as they could on GB. It felt like a huge step up from the other GB games of the time (in 1993)
I'm hoping they replace it with something original. The color dungeon was basically there to check if you were playing on a gameboy color. A new dungeon would be a lot more interesting.
Agreed. I'm hoping for new stuff in general, but I think it's more or less a straight remake.
They shouldn't remove it, but they should definitely add a new, appropriately advanced and complex dungeon in addition to the color dungeon.
I just don't see the point of the color dungeon itself, as its only purpose was to have the color based puzzles that could only be solved with a gameboy color. These would just be really lame translated directly. My vision would have a dungeon in the same place as the color dungeon with the same reward, just something more interesting instead.
Damn. Lotta of Likes and retweets.
The NOA one is almost doubled.
BOTW and switch has really put Zelda on the map like never before. Curious to see how it does. The old Zelda fans will all play it (98% at least) but there's a new huge audience that will try this game for the first time.
1. it's a 26 year old game. Where does the statute of limitations end on media older than some of the posters on this forum? Wait til you hear about Darth Vader my guy...
2. Knowing it's a dream without context isn't even that much of a spoiler. It's hinted at throughout most of the game. The joy of the game's story is how it handles the theme of "ending" the lives of all of the inhabitants of said dream for the personal gain of waking yourself up. It's one of the most poignant stories among all Zelda games. It's so much more than the typical kill Ganon > save Hyrule storyline which is common in Zelda.
ten years ago on neogaf, i hosted the 'let's make magazine ads for the hell of it' thread. link's awakening was one of the games, and these are just a few of the submissions:

IMO, one of the greatest threads on GAF
I find it kinda weird that this is the game that finally convinced me to buy a Switch this year
I really dig the art style of this remake, it reminds me of old claymation like the Rudolph Christmas special or what Elf tries to emulate at the North Pole or something. I think it's pretty fun.
I don't have any particular nostalgia or fondness for this particular game as it came out before I really gave Zelda games any notice. So it'll be a good way to experience this for the first time.

If you keep loading up the camel, it doesn't have to be a heavy straw that eventually breaks its back.
It may be a 26 year-old game but it's a whole new remake. Because of both these reasons, for many people it will be their very first contact with the game and its story. It's not asking too much to give it the same treatment as to any given new game and let those people have the freshest experience they can get.
