My entire life I’ve been avoiding Zelda games thinking they just weren’t for me. But when Nintendo added Link’s Awakening DX to Nintendo Online I decided to give it a try.
It’s just a lovely game. I love the graphics, the way it holds your hand a little more than earlier games, everything about it. It has turned me around on Zelda games and I intend to play the Oracle games when I get a chance.

That’s one thing I always like about handheld games during that era especially the Zelda and Mario Land games. They weren’t under the thumb of the original developers that created the series so they were willing to take more risks.
I read in some interviews about the development of A Link to the Past they wanted to allow the player to map any item to either Y or B but Miyamoto made them change it back to just allowing an item equipped to Y and the sword always being equipped.
Link’s Awakening is next on my list, I’ve just started it and I’m looking forward to the rest of it!

Don't sleep on Oracle of Ages/Seasons and Minish Cap either!
