Distortedreasoning Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 just revealed yesterday at the nintendo direct. the animation trailer got me all hyped up and the revealed some gameplay footage. i'll be honest i wasnt a big fan of the art style in a link between two worlds and this looks like an hd update of that. with that said this does look nice and i will be getting this game day one.

Raptorpat Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 something like that would have made more sense, seems like a logical 3DS remake really (or they already had a lot of visual assets from ALBW they could have reused) the art style i think is what made it stand out to me though instead of just an 'ok whatever' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenigundam Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I just saw the trailer for the remake on my Nintendo News feed, and those graphics are so bad! They made it look like Roblox or Minecraft, I'd much rather play my B&W GB copy over that! But mine is really old and freezes, so I need to replace it.

Link's Awakening was my first Zelda game, but it's hard to say because all of the 2D ones are excellent and I don't think it's fair to compare them to the 3D Zelda games.

Raptorpat Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 i mean, yeah, the literal actions you are doing are different because it's a larger and 3D environment with more things fit into it, but i did not realize how much the skeleton structure of the game copied over from LttP to OoT. it's like plagiarizing an essay you wrote in as a freshman for your senior thesis.

CountFrylock Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 for a 1-1 Remake Of the gameboy game with little different aside from A Few QOL Changes the dungeon maker and graphics $59.99 seems steep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorpat Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 If there really isn't any new content, full price seems kinda steep for anyone who has played the game more recently than fifteen years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptorpat Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 It looks neat, I'm just not super jazzed because I literally started replaying it (3DS) last summer on a cross-country flight so the desire to reminisce isn't there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountFrylock Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 oh and apparently the dungeon maker isn't even a real dungeon maker it just allows you to reorganize already existing dungeons you can't really change or do anything new with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distortedreasoning Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 i was just doing it to see how the new one holds up against the olde ones. i did the same for oot, mm, and wind waker, remasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorpat Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I want to say I did the reverse with oot, where I played the remake and then played the original to see how much it contrasted from my memory, but I think that might have just been screenshots our youtubes.

Ric Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Link's Awakening is like a 12-15 hour game if you aren't speedrunning it, it's longer than a lot of full priced games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountFrylock Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) regardless when the only brand new thing you have to offer is A Lackluster dungeon maker that you can't even share with friends without using an amiibo to transfer dungeons to them it feels like a big nostalgia grab... you keep bringing up games that were on the same system from the get go where as Links Awakening originally was a gameboy game and a lot of how it works and plays was due in part to the limitations of that system even with QOL Changes applied it cannot escape the fact that at it's core it's still very much a gameboy game with many things that stemmed from that Edited September 8, 2019 by CountFrylock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distortedreasoning Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 not a full review but well there you go. plays almost exactly the same as the gb original. just with some updates that dont really change the way you play this. is the new fresh paint of coat and updated ascetics and music worth the price? i've said it before but while the graphics do have a very charming look, i still would have preferred this game be in 2d. im also a big fan of the gameboys chip tunes sound but they did a good job with new instrumentals. the biggest knock of this review was how it drops to 30fps when you enter a new area? i could probably overlook that.
