@PCkid Lazy would be directly adopting Link Between Worlds/Triforce Heroes' artstyles. Going back to examine the world of Link's Awakening and the artstyle of the original game to mold the artstyle to what it is now isn't exactly what I would call "lazy".
Metroid, Xenoblade, EarthBound shill
I run a YouTube/Twitch channel for fun. Check me out if you want to!
Please let me know before you send me a FC request, thanks.
I will reiterate I am not a huge fan of this style of rendering especially with the characters but I am giving it time to grow on me. The real issue for me most likely is I fell out of favor playing Zelda games and I was more of a Dragon warrior/quest fan when we look at this particular genre. We have made this style over the years and I see where Nintendo is trying to maximize the visuals of the game world by exaggerating Link and the NPC's because if they were more proportionate it would difficult to articulate from a tops down. I will probably order this though.
I think what people have to really do is quit perceiving this as a "remaster" or add on type of game. The work required to create the game with new graphics(although I have seen this renderer in other Nintendo projects so likely they built on an existing code base) and work out the world parameters makes this a new game. It does not matter if the "story" is previously used. All stories are old, just the individual details are changed.A "remaster" is like a Streets of Rage reissue with improved sound and a better save option. The developers are taking an existing completed game and fine tuning it for todays hardware.
The question is, will this include the extra stuff the DX version had. Or is this the standard Link's Awakening, and they'll sell us the DX update separate.
I'd be extremely disappointed if Nintendo did that. My assumption is that it'll at the very least be a 1:1 remake of the DX game. Anything less seems ridiculous, especially if they're gonna charge full price, which they most likely will.
the DX version only had one extra dungeon, one extra piece of armor (that you could choose from two), and a few extra owl statutes in dungeons.
the extra dungeon wasn't even that fun.
