All episode long, we talk about the great Legend of Zelda game, Link's Awakening. It was a game that was released on the Game Boy in 1993 and has had two remakes, the last one occurring recently on the Nintendo Switch.
We start with some general info and thoughts. How was the game ranked by critics? How do we feel about the game? Is there a nostalgia factor?
We then talk about the story. How much did we love Marin? Do we like the concept of waking the Wind Fish? Did we like the ending?
Afterwards, we dive into the world. Did we enjoy exploring Koholint Island? Did we have a favorite area?
Later, we have a conversation on the dungeons. Was Key Cavern a pain in the ass? Was the Angler Fish the easiest boss in the Zelda franchise? How great is Eagle's Tower? Is Turtle Rock underrated?
We then quickly touch on some characters we missed before getting into the gameplay. Do we prefer 2D or 3D Zelda? Was the button mapping terrible?
We end with a discussion on the 3 different versions. Do we prefer the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, or Nintendo Switch version? Do we like the addition of the Color Dungeon in the DX version? How do we feel about the dungeon maker in the Nintendo Switch version?
