Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

@rallydefault would i love to play links awakening Next week? Heck yea. Is it going to happen? No chance in hell as vince mcmahon would say. But i think you kinda figured it out there. There's too much going on this month and next. Plus, cadence of hyrule needs to happen this month. That'll be the e3 " out now" if anything

It would be silly. They'd run the risk of cannibalizing some Mario Maker sales (or vice versa).

Here's a look at the new Link amiibo releasing alongside the game on September 20.

There will also be a Dreamer Edition of the game that includes an art book.

It seems the only new thing is the collectable dungeon-rooms, sadly. Other then that it looks and sounds great!

Any word on the price yet?

@PuzzleMaster7 where’d you get that info from?

NVM found it

I have to admit, Link's Awakening was one of the few old-school Zelda games I didn't get much out of. I think a lot of that had to do with it feeling too similar to the Seasons/Ages games that came after it. I think a repaint and some tweaks & additions would go a long way it making it feel as fresh as it was for many of its hardcore fans back in the day. I'm looking forward to it immensely.

So glad the Color Dungeon is still in the remake...

also yeah...that...custom dungeon thing is interesting. Hopefully this means they're at least THINKING of a Legend of Zelda Maker. lol

Europe got the better deal!

@Octane if that artbook is the same as the NA one, i’ll seriously be considering importing that. i could play it on my NA switch, right? i’ve never imported anything before.

i’ve never understood why limited/collector’s editions are different in regions. like....why would you not just release all the content everywhere?? is there some sort of thing where north americans seriously hate steelbooks?? lol

...Wait, are we limited to that heart shape for the dungeon? Or can we go all out with the layout there as well? o.o

@Arbor I think it's the same book. And yeah, region lock is no longer a thing.

Has there been no mention of anything being added to the game?

I have to say if it's as short as the original, it does seem a bit cheeky to ask full price. It was one of the shortest Zelda games. And it's probably not a very large budget.

They confirmed the custom dungeon thing, which seems there to add replayability and randomness. Otherwise, not that I heard of.

Thing is, Link's Awakening in terms of quality earns that 60 dollar price point imo. It is one of the best Zelda games, which means it's one of the best games ever. But that doesn't mean it should actually cost that much. That's just kinda greedy. Make it like 30-40, have the special edition be 60 is the best idea.

One of the best Zelda games being 20 hours long should still not really be the same price as another of the best Zelda games, which is 60 hours long.
I'd still pay it, cos I love Zelda. But still.

@Dezzy I doubt we'll get 20 hours out of it, unless they added significantly more content.

I just checked out the dungeon maker aspect of it on the treehouse and it looks surprisingly simple and easy. I'm def going to put alot time into it. They kept saying you can play friends dungeons too so i wonder if you can share it online? I didnt get clarity on that in all honesty but still. That's a cool feature nonetheless

Link's Awakening DX (haven't played the original version) is my third-favorite handheld Zelda game. It's only trumped by The Minish Cap and A Link Between Worlds in my book. I'm definitely grabbing this day one...and I don't say (er, type) that often.

@Octane it shows as $60 on the coming soon page of the eShop. Kinda figured it would be that much but was hoping for less.

@DTMOF84 Shame, I was hoping to get the special edition for that price. I was hoping for €30/40 seeing how it's such a short game.
