The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is believed to be a timeless classic — originally releasing for the Game Boy all the way back in 1993 — and the recently released remake for the Nintendo Switch further proves this notion.
With some beautiful graphics, a new aesthetic that gives it a diorama-like aesthetic and the same gameplay and superb level design that made the original a classic,
The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening for the Nintendo Switch has been very well received by both fans of the original and first-time players.
Just last week we found out that this remade version of
Link's Awakening had already become the fastest-selling Nintendo Switch title in the United Kingdom, managing to outsell the previous record holder —
Super Mario Maker 2 — and even dethroning Gearbox Software's
Borderlands 3 as the top-selling title for the week ending on the 21st of September.
Now that
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening has been out for a bit over a week, Nintendo has released an accolades trailer that flaunts all of the overwhelmingly positive scores this timeless classic has been getting.
Check it out:
Link has washed ashore on a mysterious island with strange and colorful inhabitants. To escape the island, Link must collect magical instruments across the land and awaken the Wind Fish. Explore a reimagined Koholint Island that’s been faithfully rebuilt in a brand-new art style that will entice fans and newcomers alike. Battle enemies as you conquer numerous dungeons and uncover the hidden secrets of the island. Encounter Super Mario enemies like Goombas, Piranha Plants, and more, and interact with unique locals who help Link on his adventure.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is currently available exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
