"It's dangerous to go alone! Take this."
The time has come to return to Hyrule for yet another adventure starring one of Nintendo's most iconic characters ever, Link of The Legend of Zelda video game franchise! Later this evening, our own Bobby Shortle will pick up his sword and shield, grab a potion or two, and venture headlong into Nintendo's re-imagining of their 1993 Game Boy classic for the Nintendo Switch.
Here's Nintendo's official description for THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: LINK'S AWAKENING:
"Link has washed ashore on a mysterious island with strange and colorful inhabitants. To escape the island, Link must collect magical instruments across the land and awaken the Wind Fish. Explore a re-imagined Koholint Island that’s been faithfully rebuilt in a brand-new art style that will entice fans and newcomers alike. Battle enemies as you conquer numerous dungeons and uncover the hidden secrets of the island. Encounter Super Mario enemies like Goombas, Piranha Plants, and more, and interact with unique locals who help Link on his adventure. As you clear dungeons throughout the main story, earn dungeon rooms (Chambers), then arrange them into custom layouts in the all-new Chamber Dungeon. Place your dungeon entrance, Nightmare room, and everything in between as you try to fulfill objectives and play through a new dungeon. Tap compatible amiibo figures to earn more Chambers and and additional Chambers throughout the game in updated mini-games, such as the river rapids, trendy game, and fishing."
As Link, players explore a re-imagined Koholint Island and collect instruments to awaken the Wind Fish to find a way home. Magic and mystery lurks around every corner as you meet and interact with unique locals to aid you along your journey. As you travel across the land, you'll hear remastered tunes from the original game's legendary soundtrack, and will be welcomed into all-new Chamber Dungeons along the way.
