Link’s Awakening only ever appeared on the Game Boy and was only redone once as a DX port for the system. Now it’s coming to the Nintendo Switch and it is coming this year. Presumably it’ll be released in the autumn.

26 years after its original release on Game Boy, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening will be reborn as a new experience on Nintendo Switch.

Buffeted by a storm, Link washes ashore on the mysterious Koholint Island. In order to return home, Link must overcome challenging dungeons and battle against fearsome monsters.

This new version of the classic adventure includes many unique elements that appeared in the original Game Boy release, such as 2D platformer-style rooms and appearances from characters outside of The Legend of Zelda series.
