Link's Awakening Remakes

LINK'S AWAKENING REMAKES

Today, let's begin with our coverage of the Legend of Zelda remakes, re-releases, and ports. There are quite a few, but I've broken them up into five specific groups as they made sense to me. First off, let's cover those re-releases for Link's Awakening, which has received two notable remakes. The first is Link's Awakening DX, an updated re-release for the Game Boy Color with enhanced graphics, a camera function, and a bonus dungeon. Other than that, it's pretty much the same.

Next is the game's remake released for the Switch in 2019, pretty much a shot-for-shot remake of the original, but built from the ground up with full 3D graphics and a toy-like chibi style. Some have suggested the possibility of a Toy Link character back during the Smash Ultimate speculation days, but I really never saw the need for it, so we're not. Outside of the new style, some of the biggest changes was some soundtrack rearranging, full eight-directional sword controls, and no screen transitions, plus a make-your-own dungeon bonus feature, which some expect to be testing the waters on a possible Zelda Maker (which I'd be down for).

Anyway, now that we have that done, here's what we've got:

Not much
