I like that the art style isn’t just a 3D imitation of the 2D graphics, it went for a pretty bold and unique style and there was a lot of effort put into the art direction. It’s charming and I like how everything has sorta a tactile nature to it, I feel like I could touch these little models and I know what they’d feel like.

The sad thing is that from a purely computational perspective, the Switch has enough power to run this game at 60fps as it did with Mario Odyssey, it's just that this game in particular has a memory leak issue which causes it to run really badly when assets are loaded in. Memory leak because, even when you enter, say, a small room where the GPU and CPU should have no problem keeping up, the framerate still drops because it still has unnecessary assets loaded in, getting worse each time you enter and exit a house repeatedly. Being a memory issue, it also noticably improves performance to have the game run off of internal storage as it is the fastest medium for Switch.

0:53 to 1:16 is the exact reason so many pokemon fans are upset with the Diamond and Pearl remakes. From the material we've seen so far, the visuals absolutely look phoned in. The character sprites are the biggest issue of contention, and a lot of people defend them by saying "the originals were chibi too, so you should like them because they're being faithful." The original models were pixel art representations of a much larger sprite that the game shows you from the beginning, as a sort of contention that it isn't possible on this hardware to have the more detailed full anime looking sprite on screen, so we will substitute it with this abstracted chibi sprite. Many players looked at the original chibi sprite and imagined a more fully realized model, because the game basically tells you to. Not to mention the strange lighting choices and scattered art direction, I think make the remakes visual style fail on every level to compete with the players interpretation of the original pixel art. At least with Link's Awakening, you can tell that there was more time, money, and effort put in to making a highly detailed and beautifully rendered world. Even if it "isn't to your taste", it's a much higher quality execution than the Diamond and Pearl remakes.

Usually companies are doing that same amount of work just to keep their games in the $20-40 range, because otherwise those games would be nearly worthless on the market or have very little value below $5 per copy.

English isn't my first language, so as a kid that puzzle was hard to understand because I didnt' relate the owl's tip to that room. the frustration xD but still, it was part of the charm. I miss that in breath of the wild. most puzzles are so easy, it takes away that feeling of "I discovered a secret!"

I loved the chess puzzle in the face shrine. Its a night, so it only moves in an L, and the floor is a chess board. I figures it out all by myself and made my brain mega happy

4:00 the way those Knight statues bounce... When I played through as a kid every single time I'd just throw it till it worked. Then when I replayed now I did that too but I found it WAY harder to get it to hit the right place than in the original... then my roommate was like "I don't get it, why aren't you just throwing it there? It's like a Knight chess piece right?" and my mind was fucking blown that I had somehow never realized that lmao

I haven't played the remake myself yet, and I actually only played through the original (or, the DX version) for the first time like, two or three ish years ago, and one of my first complaints was that you could kind of tell some areas of the overworld were meant to be part of an area that the camera could pan you through rather than needing a screen transition, which was really annoying. I think having the camera free in the overworld was practically necessary, though I kinda wish they'd broken it up with some transitions; having it all visible at all times seems, not quite right, in some cases. Though, again, haven't actually played it, maybe I'll change my mind on that when I get around to it.

I loved it; flaws and all. The graphical style and music make it very cute and charming; the gameplay is tight and responsive; and the updates really helped make my preffered version I do really miss the Photo Gallery, and I don't see myself using the dungeon maker instead; but thankfully, I can still take my own pictures of different events. One occassion that didn't get photographed in the original was Link and Marin's "date" where the sit beside the sea; or even when Link first listens to Marin vocalize the Ballad of the Wind Fish

Late to comment but... something I learned from watching a Caddicarus video was that, the Switch can overload its RAM which hurts performance. Which it can be remedied by turning the Switch off manually (not by putting it into sleep mode) for a little bit of time to properly recover. Great video regardless.

my only gripe with this game is that the announcement trailer opened with a short cinematic in a really neat classic anime style and i got excited for a zelda game that looked like that :( the toy style is fine though

the Dudgeon builder in this was a decent beta (did anyone actually expect a full one in a LA remake? No they'll sell a real one for full price) they can easily expand on it by giving you actual options like enemies, room and texture designs etc. Problem might be designing puzzles

I honestly didn’t mind the digital movement. I thought I would hate it, but I adapted to it rather quickly. I'll agree that it was a weird decision to not include analog controls, but the game doesn’t really need it in my opinion. Also, say what you will about the dungeon maker, but I absolutely loved it. My only complaint is that it is far too limiting; I want to see it expanded upon in a full on Zelda maker.

As a child, Link's Awakening was my favorite game. Playing it on my big bulky Gameboy is as till one of my favorite memories.... and I'm beyond pleased with the remake, personally. I always spent a lot of time trying to get friends to play it, but no one would, especially after the advent of 3D Zelda games. After his remake, I've finally been able to convince them to try it. After all these years. If any Zelda ever deserved this remake treatment, it was this one. The biggest issue I had with it was the occasional slowdowns that the starting village kept giving me.

I didn’t use a guide for it, but I did feel like I wanted to use one a few times and only didn’t because I wanted the genuine experience of trying to figure out those arbitrary things. I had played DX before, but I remembered pretty much nothing (including whether I had finished it until I had déjà vu figuring out how to damage one of the stages of the final boss).

Its a magical experience that encapsulates the classic Zelda exploration/discovery paradigm perfectly, but the lack of a substantial post game makes you feel dissapointed by the $60 price. Its one of the best Zelda experiences in my opinion and should not be skipped, but try to buy the physical copy so you can share it with friends without them having to pay that price to experience this wonder of a game. I used the voucher to preorder it and I’m quite saddened that I can’t let people borrow it...

I didn't have performance issues. I didn't have trouble finding my way (blind playthrough, haven't played or seen the original) but some puzzles were fun to figure out searching for the lens was almost troublesome but I lucked out going to the right place first Overall I did not require any external hints or guides, Ulrira's phone was sufficient. literally the only thing that gave me any real trouble was the final boss, as there's zero hints and you need to just use everything to see if it works
