The Legend Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening - Multiplayer? | Nintendo Switch Rumors | NintendoReporters

 [![The Legend Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening – Multiplayer?](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/the-legend-of-zelda-links-awakening-multiplayer.jpeg "The Legend Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening – Multiplayer?")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/the-legend-of-zelda-links-awakening-multiplayer.jpeg)In the original Game Boy release, only one player could play Link’s Awakening. Which for a Zelda game isn’t that strange right?

## [](#multiplayer)Multiplayer?

But this might be changing with the Nintendo Switch release of The Legend Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. We say this as the official listing for the game on Nintendo’s website states that the number of players has yet to be determined.

We where not the only one to notice this it seems;

This could mean The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening could support multiplayer in some fashion, but it’s not time for Nintendo to announce the details yet as they noted in the Nintendo Direct.

But how would that even work? We have seen it work in Four Swords but not really ever beside that for a Legend of Zelda series.
