A very overdue return to Link’s Awakening
The GameBoy/Link’s Awakening bundle was the first ever console game I owned. As a kid playing this the game felt like such a mystery to me back then. It took me forever to reach the east side of island for whatever reason. I used to shove the cartridge in harder than normal to glitch my character to other sides of the island I hadn’t been to yet. So many fun memories of figuring this game out back then.
I seriously cant believe I wanted until today to start the remake. They have done such an incredible job IMO. The soundtrack alone… mixing some of the digital sound with orchestrated instruments. It takes you right back. It’s even more of a nostalgia hit because of the OoT-style NPC yelps and grunts, which was the first time we heard that type of interaction.
Anyway, just wanted to share my absolute glee at this game. Also, really happy to be a kid in the 90s when some amazing remakes are coming out (FF7).
