The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is getting a remake

​


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.

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

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

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.

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
