Monday evening, the opening night of Gamecom 2019, the first annual Gamescom Awards took place in Cologne, Germany, with multiple award winners announced for various catagories. Nintendo unfortunately didn’t walk away with any big wins, but Link’s Awakening was awarded the Best Nintendo Switch game!
The Gamescom Awards honored the games and products that premiered at Gamescom 2019. Nintendo showed off several portions of Link’s Awakening for Switch during the event, and the game seemed to have caught the eyes of members of the Gamescom Awards jury. Link’s Awakening is a classic, and definitely one of the best Zelda games in my opinion. It’s no surprise that its remake is already making such a splash.
Are you glad that Link’s Awakening won an award already? Sound off in the comments below!
