The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: Difference between revisions

*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.

*A new ledge is present on the top of [[Kanalet Castle]], allowing Link to jump off. This allows Link to quickly access the exit to the castle instead of 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 [[BowWow]].

*[[Apple]] trees appear in the overworld, which Link can run in to, causing them to drop. They can be eaten, functioning similarly to [[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]], and a third is given when completing the lonely [[Ghost]] quest.

*The number of [[Secret Seashell]]s has increased from 26 to 50, none of which are missable. There are also new rewards for gaining seashells, including a new item, the [[Seashell Sensor]].

*The [[Fishing]] minigame has been given a larger variety of fish over time as well as new lures.

*The [[Trendy Game]] has been extended to give [[Link's Awakening Figures|figures]] as possible prizes. These figures can be placed in some houses in [[Mabe Village]].

*[[Warp Hole]]s are replaced by [[Warp Point]]s, and several more have been added. Additionally, [[Manbo's Mambo]] will let Link choose which warp point to warp to from any overworld location.

*Finishing [[Angler's Tunnel]] will always cause the Ghost to appear shortly after, even if [[Catfish's Maw]] and other subsequent dungeons are completed.

*Stealing from the shop is now more difficult.

*The chess piece horse head puzzle in [[Face Shrine]] is no longer random, but rather has a specific technique.

*[[Cucco]]s and [[Mutt]]s are now truly invincible. Neither [[Magic Powder]] nor the [[Magic Rod (Link's Awakening)|Magic Rod]] kills them.

*The [[Shadow Nightmares]]' final form can now be damaged with the Magic Rod in addition to the [[Boomerang]] and [[Bow]].

These are customizable dungeons accessed by speaking to [[Dampé]] in his shack, located where the Camera Shop was in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|Link's Awakening DX]]'' (west [[Tal Tal Heights]]). Dampé presents Link with various challenges, which require him to arrange chambers from previously explored dungeons to create a new dungeon in a specific shape. Chamber Dungeons must have an entrance room, Nightmare's Lair, and all doors must connect. There also must be enough chests holding keys to be able to unlock every locked door or block. If there is more than one stairway in the dungeon, Link must choose which ones will connect. Link can earn various items as reward, including Rupees and a Fairy Bottle.

One amiibo was released with the game based on Link's new appearance. All ''Legend of Zelda'' amiibo are usable in the game, and they each provide different ''Plus Effects'' in the Chamber Dungeon, adding new gameplay elements to the rooms of the dungeon. The ''Link's Awakening'' Link amiibo adds [[Shadow Link]] to the dungeon, who will follow Link through the rooms. Defeating Shadow Link will reward Link with additional [[Rupee]]s{{Ref|E3 Nintendo Treehouse: Live Gameplay 06-11-19 (29:24)}}.

The majority of characters return in this remake, with one notable exception being the [[Photographer]]. Recurring character [[Dampé]] appears in their place, allowing Link to access the Chamber Dungeons and their challenges.

Enemies are largely in the exact same locations where they appeared in the original, with significant overhauls to their game models.
