The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Comparison // GameBoy VS Switch 

It's GameFreak not Nintendo

Imagine if Gamefreak did something like this with Pokemon Gold and Silver.

Paweł Skrzypkowski Heart Gold & Soul Silver basically are just that

@@knoxianpanda Imagine if GameFreak did something like this with Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver.

No

We need a pong reimagining for sure. So much detail would spring to life in HD

bdgrey 😂

@@anakinskywalker4090more like soul vs soulless!

While it's not exactly the same situation, it reminds me of the difference between the two spongebob movies

but other than graphics I don't see any difference in the game at all. Is there no extra content or cool secrets to unlock in this version?

Maybe as an added bonus they could make the previously unfinished Oracle game as I think they were originally going to make 3 Oracle games but ran out of time to make the third one

I would love that. Especially Ages

Or the four swords adventure

@@jamesgriffin7962 They had some problems linking 3 games

shadow vortex oh I didn’t know that

I think I won't mind if they reuse some of the assets here similar to how Oracles reused stuff from LA just so I could get it sooner. Lol! But it'd be great if they do copy the art style used in the animated cutscenes -- which I think might be tricky because having tall characters might not go well with the tile size, moving speed, etc.

Thank you for this comment. I grew up playing the original on the bus every single day... all my kids have switches now and I was wondering the same... if the storyline was the same... the puzzles, maps, etc...

The ending makes me cry all the time...

Minish cap but not all cute looking. Maby keep the pixel art but add a lighting engine if that makes since. Like if you’ve seen how gorgeous modern pixel art games can lokk

There were two games that I wanted to be remastered more than any others due to the impression they made on me as a child. 1) Mafia. 2) Ocarina of Time. I got Mafia. Hopefully, at some point, OoT is remastered.

BET. That would be so cool

Yeahh

this engine? ue4? that’s pretty vague. you mean this style?

@@coldramentpm1013 shut up

YEAHHHHHH!

I don’t know if u have seen the movie called castle in the sky but this game’s soundtrack and vibe is just like it and i love ittt !!!

Thank you that you exist. I also don’t like the ost that much but hating it like many other people here is just messed up. There are some really nice treasures in there. Like Level 6 Face Shrine. It’s now in my Top 10 all time dungeon themes because it’s just so hauntingly beautiful.

@@blackglurakx2409 the Face Shrine remake is now one of my top video game songs of all time period

I love that you can tell it is played by actual instruments while keeping a bit of that 8 bit nostalgia 🎺🎸🥁🎻

I like the original battle theme more. The new one is like nails on a chalkboard. The graphics are WAY better though while keeping true to the original. It was a good call on Nintendo to fix Moblin Chief's stun animation to stars rather than poison

A year? Holy shit

A year??????????

@@benreyes78 Right? Took me a week and I thought I took twice as long as the normal person

Yeah. Me and my brother played it together. But I only see him once every 2 weeks. That's why it took so long

It took me a year when I was 9 with no cheats. It was my 1st RPG. Now I can complete both versions in a week tops

@Wutert oh ffs, of course not. I used the wrong word. REMAKE then.

Kind of reminds me of Wind Waker a little bit. I’m warming to the art style more now.

It's so beautiful

Link's Awakening was my second Zelda game. I played it after A Link to the Past on the SNES. It may have basic simple graphics on the Gameboy. But behind the simple graphics was a very well designed game that gave the player a console like experience. It proved that even the most underpowered system could deliver an epic adventure. Something Nintendo has historically been good at. They didn't really concern themselves with processing power back during the NES, Gameboy and SNES days. Just like with the Switch now. I really recommend you give Super Mario World or Donkey Kong Country on the SNES a try. Those games are timeless when it comes to actual game design and gameplay.

Lol

He just uploaded one a week ago after a year.

RUSHNERD is exactly what you're describing

The remastered version of Link's awakening wouldn't figure on a crowbcat video because it's actually a good game.

@Daniel Thrash link between worlds is like the remake for link to the past. You can say its like a sequel. Don't think they will remake another link to the past.

@TL DR if you want a truer remake to aLttP, it's on the GBA, and it's bundled with Four Swords

yeah right like that'll ever happen.

Time to get glasses

@@MrRamazanLale2 That is called a joke.

@I'm a ghost. no mom in the world likes you, not even your own.

so u like most 8-bits music, thats cool. i also like ur mum more sorry

@@n1codabosh878 ooooook

@@AwesomeCrabman Tee-hee

Thats link between worlds

@@Barr4za not the same we want the remake of the orginal

Nah link to the past aged well imo so no real need for that one

@@koinpusher introducing the game to a new generation of gamers who would never play it otherwise is a way for it to keep living and breathing for generations

@@Barr4za link between worlds is a sequel, not a remake of a link to the past

That’s the point

Link between worlds

That's definitely not 2D ._.

@@VillRezint well, the original is considered to be 2d

@@crossebi1232 But not this remake.

They realized it'd be cheaper and sell more by simply limiting how long it'll be available for.

especially oracle of ages and seasons

Ocarina of time 🤞

I'm still hoping for Ocarina of Time

@@theprocrastinator6813 Capcom games. I hope Nintendo will buy the rights for these games in order to remake these.

@@ThibautMahringer same, also minish cap, *crosses fingers*

They could do it in hero mode

To better match ALttp/ALBW, Ig

@@seroujghazarian6343 lol I was about to bring that up. When it came on screen I was like "wait... how do I know the cheeseburger?" Then realized link between worlds. Makes me anxious just thinking about it. It wasn't an inherently difficult fight (my friends say it's super easy) but sis I struggle with it

Its not the engine that make the game look like that. The graphic and art style has nothing to do with the engine.

You mean the art style the engine is unreal engine 4 and has nothing to do with how the game looks and plays

yeah right we all wish. Unfortunately Capcom and not Nintendo made those so we will never see a remake.

Yes! That was the best bit the way he timed the sword swing with the music

The Game Boy one is actually slower, you don't know how many times I had to go into the inventory to get items I needed to use lol. Gameplay wise, the remake totally wins.

This is such a weird stance to take lmao. “Kids these days” don’t care about 8-bit chiptune music, if anything they’d think it sounds weird and lame. The only people putting 8-bit on a pedestal are 30-40 yr old dorks who grew up on it. I’m not even defending it, your comment just blew me away.

@@Luschan What I criticized is the fact that many people seem to prefer the old GB soundtrack to the one that's in the new version of the game. The notion is obviously there, I didn't make that up. Of course, some of the comments are surely coming from a place of nostalgia as well, but I seriously doubt all these comments are from +40 yr folks. Today's listening habits are much attuned to two-dimensional sounds from synthesized sound sources, which is why people don't know how to listen to recordings of natural instruments. Something chirpy and synthetic appeals to them more. That has nothing to do with Chiptune. Besides, there's tons of people out there who are really into that faux-8/16 bit thing, and whenever there's talk of awesome game soundtracks, all the hip indie games with their chirpy scores always come up. Obviously people do like that kind of stuff.

i think it's time for ... Zelda II: The Adventure of Link 🙏

Theres the requel link between worlds whish is amazing, i think i like the artstyle better than awakening for switch

yea,although i get that they tried to make a more light-hearted sound to go with the chibi art style. So they had to give that up

This is the first time I disagree with this. Crash remakes lacked a bit of punch for me, Spyro remakes lacked A LOT of punch for me but this game really give me the impression of going further than the originals while still being faithful.

The original Gameboy (orphan) is actually 12.76 Bit, giving the impression of better graphics. My wife's boyfriend worked on the original hardware and actually did some playtesting for Sonic back in the day

@@katakis1 I hope you meant ex-boyfriend

@@tonyb3848 its cool, my wife has a boyfriend too

Same here, it's a more natural position for the thumb since you use your sword all the time.

I feel you. There's a few little things like that throughout the game. I think the biggest one that irked me was when you get the new sword. It was such a big production in the original but in the remake it's like "oh hey, here's a new sword. Whatever." Still loving this remake though, it's damn near perfect.

since the sounds quality was limited in the gb color they made sure each tone sounds memorable despite it being 8-16 bit. I still like pokemon gold and silvers music from gbc even after I played the remake. The soundtrack in Oracle of ages and seasons is the desert
