Nintendo is actually being good.  I’m so glad Nintendo has decided to make a Switch remake of Link’s Awakening.  It’s a comparatively old game in the series, and was beloved by many who played it.  It was never as big, because it was on the GameBoy and not a console like the SNES, but it sure did have a good story.

Canonically, it’s in the downfall timeline right after A Link to the Past.  It’s actually quite a weird game, due to it spoiler warning not actually being a real adventure.  It’s all a dream, and it happens as Link is going on his own journey after A Link to the Past.

What’s even more interesting about this game is that it was originally meant to be a combination of Nintendo’s most popular series, Mario and The Legend of Zelda.  That’s why there’s a chain chomp in the first picture.

I’m glad a new generation is able to get to play this.  Not many people own a GameBoy (the Advance in specific I think) nowadays, so not many have played this game.  It can often be overlooked by many as being a great game.  I can’t wait for this game coming this spring.  I also can’t wait for Metroid Prime 4, which I’ll talk about next week.  Until next time, have a nice day.
