Zelda Links Awakening is arguably one of the cutest looking remakes ever created. The bubbly and soft look of the game just makes me want to live in such place. Today Nintendo released an English commercial for the upcoming Nintendo Switch game.
There isn’t much news to take from it, other than drowning yourself in the gorgeous environments and lovable characters shown in the trailer below. The big N also recently revealed that there will be a way to use Amiibos to summon Shadow Link to help you in the many dungeons.
The game originally released on Game Boy in 1993, will launch on September 20th for the Switch alongside the new Nintendo Switch Lite console. If you want to play the game on launch day, you can pre-order it via Amazon.

Nintendo has released a fact sheet for The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Remake!
If you are like us, you just can’t wait to get your hands on the newly remastered version of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. The adorable graphics alone are enough to keep us on the edge of our seat, waiting to find out exactly what else is new with this awesome epic classic. With the recently released fact sheet from Nintendo, we now know just a little bit more about what to expect. Not that we needed more than the beautifully polished graphics, that is.
In case you missed it, Link’s Awakening is actually a pretty unique installment in the series. To start, it doesn’t even take place in Hyrule. Instead, you get to explore the beautiful land that is Koholint Island. As if that weren’t enough to make this game stand apart from the rest in the series, you will also find that there is no mention of the Princess, other than in the title.

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is heading to Nintendo Switch September 20th, 2019. The game was originally released on Game Boy in 1993 and has received overwhelmingly positive reviews. Now we get to experience the remake on the Switch with enhanced and graphically-adorable visuals!
Take a look at the adorable trailer below as it starts off with the story we all know and love: “Washed ashore a strange land, a castaway will seek the truth. Only first….he must awaken.”
On top of battling enemies in dungeons, we see Link gathering and eating apples, fishing, and up to his usual pot-smashing-shenanigans. We also get to see him purchase arrows in the most adorable shop we have ever seen and now we must buy all the things!
In case you haven’t played the original version, you can look forward to finding characters from the Mario series and other unusual Zelda-like things such as some dungeons that will have 2D-scrolling. You’ll see Chain Chomps, or rather a Chain Chomp family including a little baby one, and below there’s a Yoshi doll from Nintendo Treehouse live.
Dungeons
A newly added feature is being able to create your own dungeon by first entering Dampé’s Shack. Place chambers earned on your adventure to arrange and design your own dungeon and explore them to your heart’s content! You have to make sure that all of your doorways connect together. If you conquer these chambers then you can receive many rewards such as Fairy Bottles. Speaking of dungeons, the creators were proud to confirm the return of the Color Dungeon. This was first introduced in the Game Boy Color version with many puzzles to solve.
Finally, keep following us on Twitter for more Nintendo and E3 2019 updates! You can also see below for some gameplay footage by Nintendo Treehouse. If you’re a huge Zelda fan than you won’t want to miss this new reveal trailer in our article here. It’s quite the surprise!

Nintendo announced today the list of playable games at E3 this year. The big N revealed that some of their most anticipated games of 2019 can be played, tested and hopefully enjoyed at this years gaming convention. The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are amongst those titles.
Nintendo is teasing its E3 plans for some time now. The company revealed the schedule as well as the games we will get to see. It looks like the gaming company has plenty of surprises for us in store! Games to be released in 2019 are the titles Nintendo will talk about in their E3 Nintendo Direct on June 11th. Of course, many fans expect to see Animal Crossing Switch as this is one of the many titles to be released in 2019.
If you happen to be in Los Angeles during the time of June 11 – June 13th, then you may want to stop at Nintendos booth to enjoy some of the following games:
- Pokemon Sword
- Pokemon Shield
- The Legend of Zelda Links Awakening
- Luigios Mansion 3
- Marvel – Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order
- … and more!
Some rumors suggested that “… and more” could refer to the highly anticipated Animal Crossing Switch game. While the Animal Crossing franchise has seen debuts at the E3 ( and we also strongly believe to see the title there – you can caught up on why we believe this right here ), we do not expect any possible Animal Crossing Switch game to be playable at E3 as the game does not demo as well as other games where many tasks can be completed within a short time frame. Who wants to spend only 10 minutes playing a mainline Animal Crossing game after all?

This special installment in the LoZ series made a huge bang in its initial reception on the Super Nintendo, and the later polishing on the Game Boy Color. With an original story (set not in Hyrule) and almost no mention of the Princess, this unique Link adventure takes place on Koholint Island, a magical paradise location inhabited by your usual monsters, as well as a giant whale-god that can grant you the ability to get off the island.
The game received unprecedentedly positive reviews for the GBC remake, as well as winning many awards for its graphics and story line. Many reviewers even held it as one of the best made games of all time. Now having a remake for the Switch being released sometime in 2019, this delightful classic will have the chance to ease our RPG needs once again.

[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t’s no secret that pixel-art-stylized games are popular right now (we even recently wrote an article about our favourites). Pixel-art-stylized video game fans will be pleased to hear that there is another game in development. Developer’s Aloft Studios are currently working on a Zelda-inspired game entitled Hazelnut Bastille, which they hope will bring some retro vibes and SNES magic to the Nintendo Switch console.
Hazelnut Bastille is an upcoming Zelda-esque 16-bit JRPG Metroidvania game that has been confirmed for PC, Mac, Linux, and more recently, Nintendo Switch. The game has been compared to Chrono Trigger and Golden Sun. It currently has a tentative mid to late 2020 release window.
Aloft Studios is a small indie game studio who have emphasised that quality is of utmost importance to them.
Additionally, composer Horoki Kikuta (who is known for his work on Secret of Mana) has joined the Hazelnut Bastille team as a celebrity guest composer.
Aloft Studios have given the following information about the game in a previous interview with Nintendo Life:
“The timescale for this release will either be simultaneous with our PC / Mac / Linux release, or following some months after, as funding and development time ultimately allows, but we would very much like to see a release across all four of our starter platforms if it proves possible!”
“Hazelnut Bastille, for PC, Mac, and Linux, and now Nintendo Switch, is a lush, topdown Metroidvania in a 16bit JRPG style, which seeks to continue the great lineage of superior design from the mid 90’s- the moment in time when mainstream 2D titles reached arguably their greatest level of refinement, in titles such as Super Metroid and Link to the Past. We seek to emulate this period in most ways, from graphic presentation to audio production, to general level design philosophy. Hazelnut Bastille tells the story of a young woman who travels to a foreign shore on the outskirts of her world, in order to seek out the promised gifts of mythological ancients, in hopes of retrieving something which was lost to her. On the way, her story becomes irrevocably intertwined with the lives of those living in this far off land.”
A Kickstarter for the game launches today (23/10/18).

Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion is an adventure game developed by Climax Studios. The game takes some inspiration from Zelda: Wind Waker, the developers revealed in a recent interview with Well Played. According to producer Orcun Adsoy “Wind Waker was definitely a solid frame of reference when we were looking at how the boat would function and feel on the open sea. I’d like to tell you more, but the guys at Outright are getting ready to show you the world in a far more interesting way than I could.”
It is still unclear when the game will celebrate it’s release on Nintendo Switch. However, if you can’t wait Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion is currently available on Playstation 4, Xbox One and steam, you can check it out here. You can pre-order Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion Switch here.
