The much-anticipated remake of the title originally released for Game Boy back in 1993 smoothly sashayed to the #1 spot in gaming radars across continents just days after it was relaunched in 2019. The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, however, goes beyond reminiscing the top-grossing adventure game that hails from the 1990s. Older folks will be happy to see the unforgettable characters come alive once again on screen, but this time on Nintendo Switch.

There is hardly anything not to fall crazy for this quest designed to the tune of a make-your-own adventure game. Unlocking the treasures, game secrets, and alternative passages are guaranteed to create a special bonding moment that bridges connections between family and friends on pizza night and staycation weekends.

If you’ve played this game before, don’t be misled into thinking that you already know everything there is to learn and uncover in this remake. While the plot captures the original essence of the legendary tale, it takes a slightly different twist in many ways and in many instances throughout the film.

Here are just some of the things to look forward to:

  • Navigate through Koholint island in ways never before possible
  • Get Link prepped and equipped all at once
  • Watch key conversations repeatedly in case you need more clues
  • Conquer mini-quests to earn stones to use in building Chamber Dungeons

Every step taken brings a new puzzle to solve based on an old, well-loved epic tale that is guaranteed to challenge and satisfy the curiosity and sense of adventure of gamers of all ages. Get Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening today.
