'''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (2019)''' is a remake of the 1993 game of the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|same name]]''. Announced during a Nintendo Direct presentation on February 13th, 2019{{Ref|Nintendo Direct Reveal Trailer 02-13-2019}}, the game received a short teaser trailer. During E3 2019, a worldwide release date of September 20th, 2019 was shown. The game has received a massive overhaul in the graphics department, although the overworld is largely unchanged gameplay-wise. Aspects of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|Link's Awakening DX]]'' are also included, such as the [[Color Dungeon]], though the [[Camera Shop]] does not appear, as it is replaced by [[Dampé's Shack]]. | |||
==Story== | |||
{{main|Link's Awakening Story}} | |||
After defeating [[Ganon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', Link decides to go on a journey to prepare himself in case such an evil returns. During this journey, Link's ship falls prey to a storm. Link wakes up on the beach of the mysterious island of [[Koholint Island|Koholint]], where he must gather eight instruments in order to wake the [[Wind Fish]] sleeping atop [[Mt. Tamaranch]] and leave the island. | |||
==Graphics== | ==Graphics== | ||
The game's art-style has radically changed, creating a much more modern look, with high-resolution models and shaders present. There is a blur effect on the edges of the screen, though only when [[Link]] is in the overworld. The character models appear to have a chibi look, almost reminiscent of toys. | |||
= | ==Changes== | ||
*Link is now able to attack diagonally, as opposed to the original, where he could only swing his sword in four set directions. This is the same for overworld movement. | |||
*Several items get dedicated buttons - [[Sword]]¸ [[Hylian Shield]], [[Pegasus Boots]], [[Power Bracelet]] - and no longer need to be equipped from the pause menu. You still need to collect the items to make their function available. | |||
*While almost everything in the world shown thus far is identical, a ledge can now be seen on top of [[Kanalet Castle]], allowing Link to jump off. This is presumably a quality of life improvement, allowing quick access for Link to leave the castle, as opposed to having to backtrack through the dungeon, as was required beforehand{{Ref|Nintendo Direct Reveal Trailer 02-13-2019 (1:05)}}. The entrance to Bottle Grotto has one of the flowers replaced with a heavy rock, making it possible to re-enter the dungeon after returning Bow-wow. | |||
*[[Apple]] trees appear in the overworld, which Link can run in to, causing them to drop. They can be eaten, presumably functioning as [[Recovery Heart]]s{{Ref|E3 2019 Trailer 06-11-2019 (0:45)}}. | |||
*A new item, the [[Bottle|Fairy Bottle]], appears in the game. It "looks big enough to hold a [[Fairy]] inside"{{Ref|E3 2019 Trailer 06-11-2019 (1:56)}}. One can be found at the bottom of the [[Fishing Pond]], another is given to Link from Dampé after completing a [[Chamber Dungeon]], a third is given when completing the lonely ghost quest. | |||
*Keys no longer drop from the ceiling in dungeons; a chest holding the key will appear in its place{{Ref|E3 Nintendo Treehouse: Live Gameplay 06-11-19 (22:35)}}. | |||
*There are now 20 [[Heart Container]]s in the game, six more than in the original version. Certain [[Piece of Heart|Pieces of Heart]] have also been shifted in location. | |||
*The number of [[Secret Seashells]] available are 50 instead of 26. None of which are missable. | |||
*The fishing minigame has been given a larger variety of fish over time. | |||
*The trendy game has been extended to give various trophies as possible prizes. These figurines can be placed in the houses in mabe village. | |||
*The rapids game has an additional racing mode. | |||
*There are additional warp points added. Also, Song 2 will let you choose which warp point to warp to from any overworld location. | |||
*If you finish Level 5 before Level 4, you no longer skip the lonely ghost quest. | |||
*Stealing from the shop is now much more difficult. | |||
*The chess piece horse head puzzle is no longer random, but rather has a specific technique. | |||
