The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (2019) is a remake of the 1993 game of the same name. Announced during a Nintendo Direct presentation on February 13th, 2019[1], 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 Link's Awakening DX are also included, such as the Color Dungeon.

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.
  • Link is now wielding the Hylian Shield, which is no longer an equippable item - it is always in use.
  • 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.
  • Apple trees appear in the overworld, which Link can run in to, causing them to drop. They can be eaten, presumably functioning as Recovery Hearts.
  • A new item, the Fairy Bottle, appears in the game. It "looks big enough to hold a Fairy inside"[2]. One can be found at the bottom of the Fishing Pond, another is given to Link from Dampé after completing a Chamber Dungeon.
  • Link no longer needs to have the Power Bracelet equipped to pick up pots in dungeons.
