Link's Remakening | The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Review 

Arlo but with the Infinity Gauntlet

You can see even more power escape on his twitter

@@BubblesZap rofl

Stop being everywhere, Professor Pro

Andrew Kostlan If you see me everywhere, doesn’t that mean that you are *also* everywhere?

With one Achilles heel: the forest theme no longer conveying the same sense of mystery and menace from the original.

GLUB Glub glub glub....

That is such an intense thing to say lol "Man I wish I could keep listening to Link DROWN"

There are lots of stock sound effects though.

Angler's Tunnel. I'm sorry, I didn't like that at all.

Thanks for being civil

100% love it, not every game has to look realistic and I haven't seen a lot of non-indie games with toy aesthetics. I do agree with the gameplay limitations though, don't like them, like not being able to run diagonally and not being able to re-bind the buttons.

Agreed I love the graphics the best version idk maybe cuz I grew up with these games and the originals I lived so it's nostalgia wit all quality of life stuff it's great I never beat it cuz I always get stuck in these lol.

The art and how endearing the game is, are reasons why I absolutely love this game!

Yeah idk what he's on

Charizard180 sorry for your loss dude. The important thing is, you’re looking on the bright side of life. It’s the best thing you can do after an event like that. Edit: I forgot to add that I also know what it feels like to lose someone. I lost my grandfather to cancer. My mom went over to his house to see if he was all right. At night he was doing just fine. My mom goes to check on him the next morning, he ended up dying in his sleep. I’m not saying this to gain sympathy myself, because this happened a long time ago, and I’m already over it. But… My point is, I do know the feeling of losing someone close to you.

Charizard180 I'm sorry for your loss mate.

sorry you went through this. my aunt and uncle died on swiss air flight 111 1998 months before Ocarina of time. I got really close to Link to the past. that game means a lot to me

@Bart Bijleveld i believe in god and healing let people live their life @MR JOJO youre in the wrong place bud leave.

I would’ve believed you until I saw Mega Charizard Y

check his twitter, he explains it there

same

I saw him... killing younglings...

That's crazy, I was thinking people that never played the original would be asking the same questions Arlo is, like why is the game on a grid like a 1996 Pokemon game. But it's cool to hear people not just had some fun but really loved it

40 is still to much for it, it was 4 bucks on the 3ds virtual console so it should be 20-30$ on switch

@@faze_thanos6098 wow

@@MrDude-yk8vy wow after hearing this, it makes me feel like a baby for complaining

@@MrDude-yk8vy Ikr you live in Canada right?

@@MrDude-yk8vy Yeah Canada expensive for games, it's kinda sad, but not everything that packs a punch of entertainment ain't cheap.

Christopher Moon I see you changed your profile picture.

No, it’s Link’s real voice

Hijacking for those who don't know, Arlo's video editing software messed up his voice in the intro without him even touching it. He thought it was funny and decided to keep it.

Arlo is a puppet! WHAAAAT!!!😏

But Arlo isn't a puppet, he's just Arlo

No

@SquidBag the intro

On twitter he shared that his intro got corrupted just on file transfer to make him sound like a demon of some description. He used a tiny clip of it for his "Arlo click" at the beginning

SquidBag two months late but I honestly wish it was

Not as bad as Final Fantasy 7 being sold as god knows how many $60 games

@@kylecampbell565 so should all of the final fantasy 13 trilogy not been full priced games? Regardless if you liked them or not. That's how much sense it makes that they charge less

Tyr Solven, I agree. This is just a remake. Spyro and Crash are both 40 dollars plus include 3 games. Spyro and Crash took a lot more work to make. Yet, this game didn't take as much work and only includes one game and is, according to Nintendo, the same 60 dollar value as Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey

5MinuteTEK Shh don’t make nintendo raise odyssey or BoTW to 80$

@@Aaravosisawesome botw might be worth it but Mario is just Mario. Haven't bothered with the series since sunshine.

that's how I took it. That they really wanted to play on the difference between 'reality' and 'dream'.

I assumed that Wart was a dream demon who had to be defeated as he sucked the dream energy out of Nintendo Heroes to grow his own powers. But I’m a strange man.

They could have used a better style to simulate a dream world though. I don't dream of cheap looking plastic or clay. The world lacks soul and character for me.

They could have done it differently yes. They will say that when his ship got hit by lightning he got knocked out, had a dream where he was a toy/ clay figure on an adventure. Then wakes up floating on a plank from his boat after the lightning strike.

It's silly. I mean, yeah right - like Link really imagined his World like a Lego identikit. Where was the plush, handstroke-drawn artwork of the trailer, and like all of the lore and Official artwork / fan-art before that? I thought that was the engine!! Lazy!

Same. Too each their own I suppose

I agree. My desire was not for realism.

I wanted a hand-drawn style, like they did with Wario Land: Shake It! I just think 2d has an interesting feel that doesn't get utilized enough

Shame the game doesn't add much in terms of content. Compared to games like Breath of the Wild, only Nintendo could get away with charging $60 dollars for an HD gameboy game.

If you have a ps3 see if you can track down a copy of 3D dot game heroes. Its similar but retains the blockyness

Hopefully it's done in a different art-style.

It's bound to happen. The question is whether it will be the exact same toy artstyle or something else (like something more true to the artwork).

@@sakken95 I want it actually modeled in the Trailer artwork they showed here. Or a modified Breath engine. Please,, no more Lego and plastic toy garbage, please Nintendo!!

Oracles of Ages/Seasons remake is my BIGGEST dream!!!

YES! THOSE GAMES ARE AMAZING! SO UNDERRATED! SO MICH CONTENT!

well that vudeo was an exception to his usual style so you should find a different channel

@@kylecampbell565 Do... Do you not know that that was a joke?

Kyle Campbell “Woosh” was the sound of the joke flying directly over your head. You’re welcome 😊

@@ascogeno5260 well I saw someone else in the comments who was seriously upset by the review

Just watch 4 times on half speed.

Why should a game's runtime need to be long to justify its price? Does it really matter as long as you thoroughly enjoy your time and would want to play it again? If runtime was used to translate to price, you realize games like Elder Scrolls and Breath of the Wild would reach the hundreds, right?

I think I see what you mean, I've played oot plenty of times and have four versions of the game so buying yet another version (at full price) of oot would be hard to justify despite knowing I'll enjoy it. That said I have never played Link's awakening so paying full price will be an easy pill to swallow, but I have noticed that the game play does seem similar to the Oracle games (more the other way around but still) so maybe paying full price isn't so easy to swallow after all? Either way it's a good game to have and worth looking into at the very least.

Nerdy George Washington It’s not the only thing that matter obviously. The price is about how much utility you get from a game. A shorter time playing it means less utility

Nerdy George Washington I paid full price for the game, and while I don’t regret it, I also thinks it’s a bit high for the game. However, given the hype, nostalgia and popularity of Zelda, Nintendo can totally get away with it. Obviously, I ran out and bought it on its release date and beat it in 3 days. 😅 Run time aside, I would be curious the amount of resources, time and effort that went into its development versus say BOTW, a game that also costs $60. It really makes me wonder what really determines the cost of a game. For example, should a game that takes 6 months and a 10 person team cost the same as a game that took 2 years and 75 people? These numbers are arbitrary just for sake of example. Just interesting to think about!

@@DDDDDDann But if a game gives you enough reason to replay it, you get all the utility multipled by some factor, possibly even greater depending on the game. Sonic games for example are monumentally more fun on repeat playthroughs since you're more familiar with the mechanics and flow of his movement. Most Mario games give you a great amount of choice in how you go about completing the game, allowing you to skip certain stages. This obviously makes each playthrough quite different. Zelda and Metroid allow you to create your own difficulty by giving you the choice of what items to grab and what ones to ignore. There is a reason 3-Heart runs of Zelda games and Low% runs of Metroid games are popular. These options that games give you mean they don't need to be long to be worth their price, since repeats are just as rewarding if not more so than the first.

Like Final Fantasy VII Remake. That's how you do it.

@@Sharpteeth32 Except the FF7 remake is totally changing the gameplay...

I think about Twilight Princess everyday, not that lazy remaster that we got. We can get: 1. Real Orchestra (this game needs it). 2. A richer overworld with more towns, even sidequests with little stories to add fun to the exploration. 3. All the plus that the original game has over Breath of the Wild (way better story, good dungeons, the double clawshots). 4. The twilight bloom effect back to the game, it's the artstyle, the current hd remaster has some bland lighting without that characteristic yellow/orange (fortunately, there is no big changes like the excesive bloom in The Wind Waker HD). 5. Increased polygon count, bump mapping, raytraced lighting.

@@bearlyismyname So? That's absolutely a good thing. It's not trying to be the original, that's the point.

Star masterc if they ditched the lame werewolf parts i’d consider playing a TP remake

They can't really improve the graphics of the game that much due to the artstyle, might as well make a sequel

@@milboxr9772 👍

Nathan L I hope they don't make it look like colour splash though lol...it's way too over the top...I get it it's Paper...but I always prefer the less in your face Paper art style...since it's not an actual paper made world...it's a real world we're just experiencing it through a history book.

Ttyd has aged WAY better than Link's Awakening. A remaster is absolutely not necessary, apart from just getting the game on switch.

They can also do a remake of Pikmin 1,2 and 3. In preparation for the forth installment of the series, of course.

What was that exactly?

@@trickytreyperfected1482 On twitter he shared that his intro got corrupted just on file transfer to make him sound like a demon of some description. He used a tiny clip of it for his "Arlo click" at the beginning

They deserve it. The gameplay holds up great but the soundtrack can be one of the best ever if orchestrated.

unrelated but i love your pfp

I would love that. The oracle games are amazing.

Especially if its a remake that doesnt go too much out of its way to make itself stand out from its og with its own design? So many things just felt like the creators went "It was like that before so lets keep it like that"

@@poodoodrilldick7757 I still feel like we shouldn't be angry at nintendo. They're alowed to make trash filler games untill the awesome ones come out. They need the money, and we still buy so

@@vesabasha1436 I dont like spending 60 dollars for a "trash filler" It just seems like were allowing a couple of mistakes with an untold promise of something better in the future. Giving Botw2 all that hype and expectations might make it fall on its face.

@@poodoodrilldick7757 That's what I was trying to say lmao, also I don't buy those games I just wait for the big ones (luigis mansion 👀👀👀)

@@vesabasha1436 Luigis mansion gives promise in its quality and improvements. Im hyped Pokemon makes me worrired how lacking in quality or effott or inprovements it has. Hype and presentation really does help sell a game good

what are you waiting for

@@JeremySheer I'm cheap

Good thing the Art Style actually fits the tone of the game in a meta sense. Why? Because of spoilers.

@@merchalternative8338 I think what they're intending to mean is that it's a weird and quirky series. Honestly, Koholint Island with Marin in the Crane game and Anthropomorphic animals. Isn't that in itself quirky aswell?

@@merchalternative8338 Ehhh, while it's pretty limited visually, there are things meant to be cute for sure - I can't call Magicant anything but cute from what I've seen lol. Plus, the characters in your party (other than the bug guy) are meant to be cute - if you can't see it in the sprites, look at their concept art. (edited because I checked my comment again carefully and yeah, I said the art style is cutesy)

Yup

I'd say 20 more than it should be.

Can confirm. Got the expensive ass game and the price to gameplay to new stuff is not worth it

NANO HUNTER Ff Definitely feel it’s worth $40.

In which way is this relevant if you’re not a collector? No matter if a games value is $5 or $50, buying and selling second-hand should only lead to a minor cost.

i loved a link to the past and a link between worlds. do you think this will be to my liking?

@@Cryptorocker2000 Probably. This game is great and was originally conceived as a gameboy copy of LTTP so there's a lot of similar mechanics.

Technically one of the forms of the final boss is Ganon from Link to the Past.

@@trennbrown3160 Yes, the nightmares comes from Link, so they manifest as bosses he fought previously.

@@SkepticalCaveman I just beat the game and didn’t notice that, that’s a really nice touch

Yes. And call it Pikmin 4. Or Metroid 4. Or both.

Was it the goron dancing game?

I let my friend borrow it too soon an his little sister deleted my file with still one more open slot to make things worse.

Imagine seeing Ricky, Moosh, & dimitri in that remake style. I’d love it!

You mean the voice in the intro or a glitched version of this game?

Someone needs to reupload it.

Lol

No-Brainer the voice in the intro used to go for longer, but he just used a bit of it.

@@user-jl7cz2pe6d He left it on purpose

it gives you canned food

*ba-dum tshhhh*

doubtful he doesnt like RPG or anime

@@kylecampbell565: Arlo doesn't like RPGs Arlo: #remasterthousandyeardoor

not sure if it is still a thing, but my local Walmart had the game at 10$ off since launch. not sure what price you think is a good thing but i have invested 15 hours in the game already completing everything heart peices, shells and dungeon stones and i going to replay it again to get the no death run.

@@loscoz honestly, I think it's worth the $60 price tag. It's best to base price tags off how long you played the game and how much you enjoyed it. Usually $60 is actually lower than what things like this should cost. $60 is what games cost 10 years ago and they still haven't changed. We're actually lucky they haven't upped the price on everything. Anyway, tangent over: $60 is definitely a great price for this game.

Fucking tight ass cheap skate

@@trickytreyperfected1482 Enjoyment is subjective. By that metric, the same game may be worth $100 to you, but $5 to me. Time invested is a better metric, but still not a great one. Depending on how you play Zelda games, Link's Awakening may take you less than 8 hours or over 20. When considering that game has that blurred effect around the borders and drops frames quite visibly fairly often to the point where it looks bad, just terrible, there's no reason that consumers should be expected to pay full price. This is also a remake, and that's important to note because although this is technically a new game, not much that is in it hasn't been seen before. You're effectively paying for a few quality of life upgrades for the original, some of which actually made the game worse. All-in-all, I think a price tag around $40-$45 would have been more appropriate, but if it were $30, I'd consider it to be definite good buy for anyone who hadn't played the original or wanted to play it again.

this is my 4 time buying the game, i own a copy on GB, GBC, 3DS and now my Switch, i feel the game is well worth the money but if you are hard up for cash 10$ off is 10 off. the price to me is not an issue i feal the price of 60$ is valid as the game was built from the ground up. i also bought it new as that means more then the price you pay. my point to the comment was to point that there are good deals out there if 60$ is your hang up and another 15 hours to a game i have been playing and replaying since it was released in my childhood. i have easily sunk 5000 hours into this title and will most likely sink another couple hundred its that good of a game.

It May appear in the snes online

that game holds up fine and is relreased often it would have no reason to exist beyond making a quick profit

Yes please! Also Geno for Smash

@@FirstNameLastName-oz5ij i'd prefer Mallow he would have a more creative movest and he has an actual character arc

Kyle Campbell I’m pretty sure Nintendo and Square Enix would have to come to some agreement to make that happen which sounds like a lot more work than Nintendo usually puts into its remakes.

Guess I didn't catch it, darn.

Or is the audio mistake from a different video and the intro was the reference to it?

Cretaal it was a recording error, he posted it on his twitter and it was hilarious

​@@blazewhale-aria OMFG XD Call a doctor, I'm dying. I can't... I just... The edit that came after the error killed me So nevermind, call the coroner

Arlo's twitter post: twitter.com/ArloStuff/status/1177707912258408451

Okay? Go on?

^^^

Would you mind explaining?

"this conception of the game art is sooooo debatable..." Proceeds to not dabate at all.

I think he was mostly referring to the games in order of release. As in, "This game is weird cuz you would have just came out of playing these other games and thus one is very different".

Pleased I traded this in I really didn't enjoy it but im loving fire emblem and astral chain

Hyrule Encyclopedia is a lot of bull and should be treated as fanfic, they even said it "The timeline can be interpreted in a number of ways, and may change depending on new discoveries that have come to light and on the PLAYER'S imaginations." And that's not just about the timeline, their take on Majora's mask is totally wrong and dismissed by the GAME. Seriously, don't credit that thing as canon, for the good of our community,

@@Chaoruge91 oh I know that, trust me. There are MANY inconsistencies with Hyrule Encyclopedia. I mainly use it as a guide for the lore, and dive deep into the games to see if it's true or not. The whole "Termina is a dream world created by Majora using the sorrow of the Skull Kid" is complete BS, as we see the skull Kid in Termina prior to obtaining the Mask in a flashback, where he meets Tatl and Tael. Termina is a paralel world, not a dream world. Hyrule Encyclopedia is more of a guideline, than actual Canon. There are manybthings that are correct, but others that are plain wrong. You just have to take what you can out of it and know what is true and what isn't. Hopefully with my channel I can clear things up regarding the lore

​ Zelda Lore The thing with they changing the order and even saying it's a whole new link is that it doesn't stay in place between the between worlds. It makes the oracles series so much more of a spin off as it already was and creates a Link, a new hero of oracles with little to no importance to the land of Hyrule, besides, he was summoned by the Triforce that was "free" in the world, we would need a history of who is guarding it between the end of A link to the past and the Oracles. But the Link hero from legend already fill that gap without the need of explaining such an history. It's a given he would be guarding it and attending to it's call after the end of Alttp and the beggining of the oracles series. I would like to point two of the biggest if not the only ones people use to disregard the HH timeline for HE. First, the boat have a different number of sails. In the beggining of Link's awakening is shown that Link is facing a big storm. It's not hard to imagine that that may have happened before, and he could have lost sails, but it may be an art choice too by capcom, that doesn't invalidate it beeing the same ship. And second and biggest of the arguments used. The Zelda encounter dialogue. In both she says "My name is Zelda. You must be Link, right?" I know it sounds strange, if they already knew each other why talking like that? Well, she shows that she knew soon after "I knew it at first glance", in other words, she does recognize him, but ( a little stretchy) being in a totally different land she wants to make sure it's the same link she knew. However, here is the real prove, in oracle of seasons after you save Zelda and she says the same as Ages, here she explains to Impa why she had come to such a dangerous place "Link was attacked by a great shadow... I had to do something..." Why a princess from another land, so far away from the land they are now, Holodrum, would go to such lengths for someone she doesn't knew? And more, being like this it makes the Hero from the legend the most experienced link from existence and the Old Man Link theory even more tasty.

When BOTW was still new I had ideas for a prequel of sorts, where Link had a dream while he was asleep and it was basically a 3D reimagining of Link's Awakening, but maybe with some references to BOTW, like instead of Marin there could be some confused, halfway between BOTW Zelda and Mipha character to serve the same purpose, and instead of turning into a seagull, she would become a mermaid. Or something. I wish we'd gotten that game instead.

It’s 60 not 90

Kyle Campbell Ah yes, because the United States of America is the only place in existence.

Metoo

Same , he’s overreacting tbh. If you want realism play Breath of the Wild. Simple as that. I am buying for $40

That does make a lot of sense, though I do think the N64 games had already going for them with how powerful of a console they were on, so it's questionable why they'd do the same with a game that cut corners for the sake of hardware limitations
