[@saved_by_grace289]

This looks really cool, but the biggest takeaway I have from this is how well the original used its camera. Especially in dungeons, each room has its own identity and trying to remember where you are is fun. In each environment in the overworld, it feels like you are in a completely different area.

[@Brooklyn727]

Agree. With the zoomed out camera that is continuous between areas, the island feels much smaller and artificial than it does on the original game version. Some of the intended atmosphere is lost with these mods.

You can set it to be zoomed in

This looks really good, the style reminds me of Mario 35 and F-Zero 99. It'd be cool if dungeon rooms were obscured until you entered them, though. It'd keep the feeling of exploration alive and serve as a nice reminder of where you've already been.

[@ArtemisWasHere]

I was just thinking that I was glad they kept dungeons obe room at a time in the remake, but your suggestion would allow for the mystery and tension to be preserved while allowing a free camera, clever!!

[@BrentARJ]

Exactly! Like fog of war in vtt's

[@Epic_C]

Boss and mini boss rooms obscured would be good, but also it should auto zoom into single screen mode while in the boss room too.

[@kurtkobain7445]

Couldn't agree more, part of the fun in the original was unlocking a new map area or room in a dungeon and finding out what the surprise was

[@ualarga]

in fact that happens just in a certain part of the 3rd dungeon, other rooms are hidden 'till you open the doors with keys, The Game ALSO softlocks often everytime you get an instrument.

[@CaptainJLinebeck]

If the Link's Awakening Remake had a 2D Pixel mode like what Dragon Quest 11S did, I imagine it would look similar to this

I don't know. Maybe it's best to just never touch Nintendo IPs at all, fan project or not. I don't get why people keep making stuff like this KNOWING Nintendo is going to take their hard work and expect them to throw it in the trash. I just don't get it.

Plus, there's a brand new map that plays like if Metroid 1 was made later in the NES Era with a much more impressive world with new enemies, new areas, and new bosses. If that wasn't enough, there's an entire room creator with tons of unique enemies, tilesets, and new upgrades. It's basically Metroid Maker.

Might be beneficial to add a "fog of war" to sections of the dungeon that you haven't explored yet, since seeing what's coming kinda spoils the puzzle a bit. Not a huge deal though, still way cool.

[@videostash413]

It is a huge deal

[@callmesnowboo]

thats what i prefer in the pc port. not getting lost too easily

[@ribbon_dye]

Looks fantastic, though the one thing that kinda bugs me is that you can see everything before you even walk into the area. Feels like there should be some kinda fog of war effect at least to hide areas you haven't explored so you're not just given the view of literally everything all at once. Kinda ruins some of the mystery if you can.

[@SableLeaf]

Well, it's your choice: there's an "auto" scale mode, which hides stuff like the original.

[@RestoreTechnique]

Kinda feels like cheating being able to see the whole map. It would save so much time from going the wrong way, and remembering where stuff was though. In the original game i could almost run around the entire map looking for a particular location.

[@jeremyandrews3292]

It looks like unfortunately they weren't careful about pulling assets from the game directly into the project, though, and now it's gone. There's a reason why some other restoration projects focus on reverse engineering code, but are careful not to put the game's assets in, requiring the users to source those from elsewhere. It's harder for Nintendo to take it down if none of their branding or assets are used, and it's just the game code itself that is reverse engineered.

[@webbedshadow2601]

I'm not very smart about this stuff but I think I understand what you're saying it sounds like the way that the devs of Ship of Harkinian require you provide your own "LEGALLY OBTAINED BACKUP" ROM of LOZ OOT Master quest etc in order for the patch to work, so that way they cover their butts from being DMCA'd by the Nintendo Ninjas right because the download doesnt have the game in it it's just a patch?

As soon I heard of this, I downloaded it. As soon as I started playing, I was impressed. As soon as I got the sword, I was like, "Nope!" I been playing Link's Awakening since day one. Every time it was released on something, I picked it up day one. So, I know how the game feels. And this doesn't feel right. Link doesn't swing his sword as fast as he should in this thing. That might be one of the reasons you keep dying or losing your health. In any of the official games, you could tap the button so fast, and with every tap, Link would swing his sword. But not in this thing. For me, it's unplayable. Maybe not for others, but I just can't. Don't get me wrong, it does look and sound good. As for me, myself, I can't play it. And to those who made this thing, just leave Zelda to Nintendo and use your talents on your own ideas. The time and work you put into this thing could have gone into making your own game. Not someone else's game. I'm just saying.

Suggestions: The "auto" zoom should pull all the way in for bosses of both mini and full size, since that's where the focus should be at that moment. I'd also love an option at the start of the game to switch between "DX" hints and "Original" hints, since the original's I felt were more like riddles and I preferred not having things spelled out for me with so many direct answers in the DX (and later) versions.

I'm not gonna shit on fan work. This is clearly very impressive and I respect all the work that went into this remake obviously, but I really reeeeeeaaaally hoped it was an actual port of the gameboy game and not a remake with all the visual changes and what not. I don't get the obsession with "remastering" video games anyways, the complete disregard for artistic intend for the sake of "modernization", whatever that term even means in that context. We'd like to treat videogames as art, as part of our culture but actually have the least respect for said art, especially when it comes to older titles (which at some point every video game will become). We instead fetishize putting every cult classic through a technological shredder for the sake of consumption, pressing it into a different form that suits our personal, temporary tastes and by that reducing every piece of art work to a consumable product.

Okay like I get what you mean I definitely think we have an obsession with remakes and not even of games that need them However- This is a PC port of a GAME BOY COLOR game You can just run an emulator if you want to play the original version It would be cool to have options included but like why could you play a PC decompilation of a GBC game if you want the original experience?

[@Ray_2112]

"We'd like to treat videogames as art, as part of our culture but actually have the least respect for said art" That's true. While I sometimes like older games getting newer versions with great improvements of things that just aged bad, I don't get why people see the need to "improve" already classic games that still do most things right. If those games are great, why do people want to change them so much? Doesn't make any sense.

Looks great. I was going to say that I hope this doesn't get the Pokemon Uranium treatment where Nintendo came after them and made them take it down. Then I googled this and found the take-down notice for it, lol. Fuckin Nintendo. I'm sure it's around else-where, but it's sad that the original source got taken down.
