It's been more than 25 years since The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening launched for the Game Boy. Announced as the finale to today's Nintendo Direct was a remake of the the 2D Zelda game. The trailer gives us a look at the updated visuals and gameplay, taking on a style similar to The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. The game will launch this year, as a Nintendo Switch exclusive.

This is great - can never please everyone but this will make a decent chunk of players/fans happy.

That wouldn't really be a remake, it'd be a remaster at best. (They're still the same sprites, but with color.)
LADX was nothing more than an updated re-release of the original that added colored graphics and two minor/optional gimmicky features (imo), besides the usual bugfixes and localization changes.

Sure remaster suits better - I‘m just angry with all those ports/remasters/remakes

Why be so angry?

While looking at the gameplay and listening to the music I felt something strong in my chest!
So many found memories!!

Why be so angry?

Because I‘d rather have a new game?

To bad it's all because the horrible sales of the Wii U

Sure but that‘s Big N‘s own fault (best games and worst advertising you can imagine).

i wonder what type of art style do people want in this game?

 

[Shadow#1]

I'm really enjoying the re-releases as I did own them on Wii u

I don't think they r being sincere tbh

Easily the 3rd worst game in the series. The worst 1+2 being tri force heroes and the 4th sword side game (not adventure).

Obviously, thats according to taste. I still think the original LA on the game boy is easily better than any part of BOTW but i know thats me.

I think the fact that they look like toys, is pretty amazing.

It literally looks like they're inside a diorama playset! I LOVE IT!!!!!

Link looks like a funko pop version of himself
They should have directly converted the original assets....

Spoiler

I'm not going to lie: I'm SERIOUSLY thinking of getting a switch right now. Link's awakening is one of my favorite Zelda games (if not my favorite). In fact, I played through it again last year.

lol, another Switch game with garbage mobile graphics.

Well, if suckers paid $60 for shovelware like Pokémon Let's Go, of course they'll do the same for a cheap Zelda remake.

 

[Bladexdsl]

is it the remake of the DX version though?

 

[H1B1Esquire]

Didn't read all the responses.

I like the art style--it looks like it's supposed to be surreal......like a DX dream.

One thing I am 99.99% sure most will agree upon--there will be a limited edition console.

 

[Clydefrosch]

like the idea of remaking this, don't really like the idea of not making it sprite-based.

Some of the enemies look like they were taken right out of a yoshi game :/ Like the pink midboss and the teleporting yellowish one.
Moblins look great though

Same here, i saw the waves and i was Links Awakening?????? then the boat and i was OH MY GOD ITS LINKS AWAKENING. one of my faves for sure, played the crap out of it as a kid.
