I was that kid who took literal years to figure out the boss key puzzle in Bottle Grotto. I'm pretty sure that I ground out the Rupees for the bow, bought it, and then got back to 999 Rupees before finally realizing what I had to do. In my defense, the Link's Awakening manual is one of the rare few that I managed to lose as a kid, so if I actually knew what the enemies were called I might have pieced it together far sooner than that.

Always good to get a refresher on this game every few years. The thing that I've never noticed until now (or just plain forgot) is how relatively clean and smooth Zelda's face is in all cutscenes, while everyone else in the game has at least one close-up where you can see the individual pores on their faces. In a game full of extremely jarring animation, that adds an extra layer of dissonance on top of everything else.

Also whoever said that the time lapse title cards in the intro had big Spongebob energy...extremely agreed.

I really like what they did with the music in that little beachside scene with Marin. That whole scene is incredibly sweet in a way that this series usually doesn't do.

And yeah there's a lot of silly things you can do with her, it's a shame that this is the only chance you get to have her follow you around. A bunch Three of the photos in the DX version can only be done with Marin in tow!
