The game so nice, Nintendo remade it twice. It first came out in 1993 and was the first Zelda title on the Gameboy. As you might expect, it was kind of a big deal at the time. When Nintendo iterated on its Gameboy hardware and came out with the Gameboy Color, Link's Awakening received a remake of sorts. The color remake added, well, color to the world, as well as a new dungeon entirely themed around color puzzles.

This is not either of those titles, the first 15-20 seconds of the first video notwithstanding. No, this is a LP of the 2019 Switch remake. It's a massive night and day difference from the GB/C versions of the game, and has become my favorite way to play Link's Awakening.

Well, what's different?

It would take a long time to list all the changes. For starters, however, because the Swtich has four face buttons and multiple shoulder buttons, the game makes good use of them. The sword and shield have their own dedicated buttons, the Pegasus Boots have their own dedicated button. The power bracelet is an inherent thing! I'm sure there's a million more changes I've forgotten about already. So be sure to watch the videos so you can see them all!

Joining me on this little escapade are Leal, NGDBSS, and Solitair.

Spoilers?

Dude, this game is likely older than some of you watching. It originally came out when I was 7 years old. Just use spoiler tags if the videos haven't covered it yet and we'll be cool.

In lieu of auto ducking, I deliberately normalized the game audio to -12dB and then further reduced the volume. Although including soundtrack links is not a bad idea. Would that be a better compromise?

I mentioned it on Discord, but I'll fix the audio and upload a new version in the morning. I tested the video on my phone, and it sounded fine, but the game audio was barely there on my tablet.

That’s something we’ll be seeing before too long! A lot of the ones from the Vanilla/DX game are still the same, and as for the rest… just sit tight for now. We’re hilariously close to the answer to that question.

So, do you hate yourself enough to do the THIRD Zelda cd-i game?

I originally wanted to do the trilogy for this thread. I would say Zelda's Adventure GB is unplayably bad. No hit stun immunity, no checkpointing, and the game is happy to spawn monsters in your hit box after a screen transition. Also, the itch.io page is full of people posting emulator kernel panic screenshots. While I'd like to see what the game is all about, someone other than me will have to be the one showing it off.

HD has been processing for the better part of an hour and I'm tired of waiting! So if you don't mind it being locked to 360p for the next (checks youtube) half hour, here you go.

The extra key is in case you choose the correct door in the 4-door room and don't open the others (since you don't need to go into those rooms to progress). If you do the dungeon "normally" from there then you'll use up all the keys in the main part of the dungeon to get to the boss room, so the extra key is for making sure you can't be permanently locked out if you really really want to go back and explore those dead ends. :shrug:

That makes sense!

Ah hell. You're right. I looked at the audio properties in Resolve, and it was in mono. I put it in Stereo, and the audio got so much clearer. Gimme like an hour to fix the video.

The video is so fresh that it's only available in 360p. So if you act now, you too can experience half the jokes in the video about the quality!

You're thinking of Harvest Moon with throwing your stuff into a lake and then a fairy pops out to offer you an upgrade.

Did you lose a golden axe or was it a silver axe?
What!? Neither one?
Hmm...
Let's see... then is it this?

:perfect:

That's goin' in the OP.

Also update will probably be a little delayed. I haven't actually had a chance to edit the next video yet, let alone record commentary for it!
