'Link's Awakening' on Switch doesn't ruin the formula of an all-time classic
Link's Awakening is a weird Zelda game that wears its quirks on its sleeve. It started life as a port of the SNES title A Link to the Past but morphed into a unique game that debuted on the Game Boy back in 1993. And, 26 years later, it's still an incredibly well-designed action-adventure. Except now it's remade on the Switch, a console that has more than four times the buttons and many more times the power of a Game Boy. Maybe you played Link's Awakening decades ago; perhaps you only started following Link's adventures since The Ocarina of Time or 2017's Breath of the Wild. It doesn't matter: This once-monochrome game holds up.
The Link’s Awakening remake feels exactly like it should
Link's Awakening for Nintendo Switch is a faithful recreation of the original game, except when it's not. Although I remember watching my older brothers playing the original Zelda on their NES, the Game Boy was my first console, and Link's Awakening was my first Zelda. My first RPG, really. I played the game for hours on end, losing myself to the world and its many mysteries. After graduating to bigger and better consoles, I've never returned to Koholint. Until today, when I got a brief look at Nintendo's upcoming remake.
The Link's Awakening Switch remake will let you create dungeons
When The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening remake arrives on Switch on September 20th, you'll have plenty of options to continue enjoying the game aside from the main story. That's because there's a dungeon creation mode that'll let you forge your own fiendish, heart-shaped stage. You can use chambers (essentially pre-made rooms) you earn while playing to build out your dungeon, and you can claim rewards as you play through your creations.

Zelda: Link's Awakening on 3DS eShop today
During Nintendo's E3 press conference, Nintendo finally detailed its plans for the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda. Part of the celebration, as announced by Shigeru Miyamoto, includes the release The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on the 3DS eShop. And by "release," we mean that the classic Game Boy title is actually available today. Not available today, the Crystal Pepsi you used to drink while playing it. Update: It's actually Link's Awakening DX, the Game Boy Color version of the title.
Game Boy games get hacked onto an oscilloscope
Real champions don't ask "Why?" when shown a completely awesome, albeit totally impractical piece of technological wizardry. Take, for instance, Flashing LEDs' latest creation: An oscilloscope that displays Game Boy games. Useful? Absolutely not. Radical? We like to think so.
Fan brings 'Link's Awakening' into the world of 3D
With the power of 3DsMax8 in hand, a Nintendo fan going by the name of MithosKuu has decided to completely render the classic GameBoy title, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening in 3D. After revealing the first pieces of Koholint Island in September 2008, the 3D transformation is complete.Using the freshly made 3D hunting ground, beta testing for the proof of concept zChicken Hunter Extreme (MegaUpload) has begun. MithosKuu is asking all users to play with the beta and report back to help fix issues with the environment ... unless you're a lawyer for Nintendo in which case there's nothing to see here and this has nothing to do with the Link's Awakening you're thinking of.[Via GoNintendo]
