Digital Foundry notes “it’s looking really good with a remarkable level of fidelity to the original, but there is some room for improvement on this early build”.

About The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening

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.

As you clear dungeons throughout the main story, earn dungeon rooms (Chamber Stones), then arrange them into custom layouts in the all-new Chamber Dungeon. Place your dungeon entrance, Nightmare’s Lair, and everything in between as you try to fulfill objectives and play through a new dungeon.

Tap compatible Legend of Zelda series amiibo (sold separately) to earn more Chamber Stones and find additional Chamber Stones throughout the game in updated mini-games, such as the Rapids Ride, Trendy Game, and fishing.
