Links Awakening remake

[T-foe]

Hope the image is working, it's a screenshot I got sent to me.

A friend of mine is working on this fan-game Project.

So, the only question I have is:

Would/will a remake of Link's Awakening With
more fancy Graphics be super awesome?

It's one of my fave Zelda games, so I'm super hyped for this.
But, what do you guys think?

to be honest, mixing different totally unrelated art styles together would break player immersion but it would be interesting

Normally when you have realistic backgrounds with sprite characters it gets really confusing when you cannot tell where you can and cannot walk. At least that is a common issue I have seen but not many games have tried it. Or are you guys going to change the character sprites too in the future?

I'm not a part of the project, just my friend.

But, I see the points made about the art style clash/crash and agree it could be weird.

Don't think it would stop me from enjoying it too much tho'

The picture isn't working for me and I like the 8-bit games as they are

Link's Awakening IS my favourite game of all time, but I'm not sure I would want a remake. It would be pretty cool to have a game done using some of the ideas from LA though, with revamped graphics.

Well we had Link's Awakening DX and i feel it covered all the missing bases for the game

You friend's idea of fancy graphics seems to he boring, gritty and ugly. The world of Link's Awakening is not a dark one, but rather one that is full of life and colour. From the image, all I can say is that the art style is grossly innapropriate and unfitting.

Anyways, enough commentary on the image. I feel that a remake of Link's Awakening is unnecessary. The game has aged rather well despite being on the GBC, and Link's Awakening is already on the 3DS and Wii U Virtual Console. There are better things to be done than a Link's Awakening remake.

It is on the virtual console, but that doesn't mean it doesn't deserve a remake. I mean, Ocarina is getting a remake and it was on the Wii Virtual console.

Ok now I see the image and no offense but no! It just looks so wrong. Link's Awakening DX is a very pretty game all on its own, it doesn't need tweaks. Its fine just as it is.

Link's Awakening is a game that really worked for its time. Yes, the game was in black and white due to the technical limitations of the Gameboy, but the monochromatic visuals truly added to the sense of being in a dream. The color dungeon in DX was a nice addition, even if it did take away from the original game's atmosphere. Having that version available to newer players on the 3DS eShop is sufficient for now.
