@@triforcetimes Really, all of them *of course is excluding the CD-i Zeldas, they do not exist* *Oh, and I heard Triforce Heroes was no good?

You should have included the fun you can have with Marin following you: if you go into the dried up well in town she'll fall on you, if you use the shovel she likes that, go into the trendy game and she gets you kicked out, if you attack a hen she doesn't like that, break a pot and she'll scold you, play the ocarina without knowing any songs and she'll be pretty judgmental, and in the color version you can get a cutscene with her on the ledge by the sea.
I remember getting a GameBoy Color for Christmas in 98 and the only game I wanted was Link's Awakening DX. I played the shit outta that game for 2 years! It was perfect for road trips. Then in 2000, I got Pokemon Crystal and fell into that pitfall for a couple of years. Then, in 2003, the GBA SP and ALttP port. Had to retire the GBC, the rechargeable battery and backlit screen were too good to pass up. Still, brings back a lot of memories.
Agree. Link’s Awakening is one of my favorite Zelda games to date. I won’t be the first or last to point out that a Yoshi doll is a reward in the claw game (part of the trading sequence), there are “Boo” ghosts in Bottle Grotto (2nd dungeon), and “Kirby” has a cameo in Eagles Tower (7th dungeon)!
Theirs also the bloopers the Squid like enemies from Super Mario bros they show up in the underwater parts of this games 4th dungeon Wart SMB 2 (the one based on Doki Doki Panic) makes a appearance in this game and is REQUIRED to talk to.
in the German Version naming your character MOYSE (the chief of Nintendo Germany) also did give a unique song :) also the translation was.... funny to say the least. The Cactus Enemies said "give me your juice i give you mine" "never without condom" and "No War Give Peace a Chance" xD
The bomb arrow thing was something I had to find out the hard way. I was stuck in the 8th dungeon forever as a kid and had to figure out how to bomb a wall over a lava pit. Discovered the bomb arrow combination after much tinkering.
@@triforcetimes the oracle series is my favorite. All the greatness from links awakening, but I really like the ring and secret systems. I've probly played through those games at least 100 times. Played them for 20 years and still play them.
5:50 Yeah, I imagine that we all learned of this one due to us trying to get into the game place there, and that stupid thing was close enough to get hit.
Hi just wanted to say I like your videos as I love learning anything and everything about Zelda, and in particular I really like your thumbnails 👏🏼 They look great
Great video. Thanks. If you play through the game without dying, Marin's wish will be granted and she will fly away with wings after the end. Her wish was to leave the island as a seagull and this is fulfilled after the credits, but only when the counter is at 000, i.e. 0 deaths.
The ballade of the wind fish makes another appearance in Majoria's mask. In the game once you have gotten the goron, zora, deku, and romani mask you can enter the bar. Once in the bar the leader of the indigo go band will be at the stage and will ask you to do a sound check with the goron, zora, and deku mask as well as link himself. Once you do all four sound checks the ballad of the wind fish will play and link will obtain the circus leaders mask.
I thought of one, The Legend of Zelda, Link's Awakening that special edition for Nintendo Switch, comes with an Artbook and steel tin , in the shape of a Gameboy with an image on the tin of the original game. I have that. The colour dungeon is another one, to see if the player is playing on the Gameboy Colour.
For whatever reason even though I was able to beat a link to the past multiple times I've never beaten lynx Awakening. I don't know why it's just there were some parts in the game I always got really stuck at and didn't really know where I was going. Or didn't know how to pass these parts actually. Didn't understand how to solve these puzzles. I mean now that the Game Boy color version of Links Awakening is on switch online via the Game Boy catalog I have a good excuse to try to finish the game. I actually originally played it on the original Game Boy cartridge and somehow got my hands on that when it was after the Game Boy color cartridge had already come out.
This was the first ever Zelda game I played, at 7 years old, but learning about the bomb arrows as a 38 year old totally blew my mind (excuse the pun 😂)
I didn’t care as much for the switch version. The music style just didn’t fit to me. The graphics just didn’t capture the charm of the original, in my opinion
It seems as though the producers of the 2019 game partially nerfed the Magic Boomerang because you can no longer 1 hit KO the final form of the Nightmare.
correct it takes like 5 to 6 Magic Boomerang/or ARROWS hits to kill it despite that the GX COLOR dungeon for the RED Tunic to double YOUR damage output IS still intact on the Switch version of the game.
With the file select name song, the name has to be fully capitalised as "ZELDA" to work- "Zelda" as shown in this video doesn't. Also, Marin and Totakeke don't play different music. Totakeke doesn't even fit there, Unless that's something they added in the Switch remake? And if we're gonna get specific, Marin and Tarin don't reference Malon and Talon- Malon and Talon reference *them*, since this game predates Ocarina of Time.
I had played the 3 prior Zelda games but since I didn't own them I was never able to wrap my head around how to play an adventure game as I preferred platformers and straightforward arcade style games. But I borrowed LA from a friend and really sunk time into to it and really started getting into it. I also made gratuitous use of the map glitch which helped with some of the confusion until later I vowed to beat the game proper without the glitch as a crutch. But yeah from there I'd started getting into Zelda game and got A Link to the Past that Christmas and my own copy of Link's Awakening a little later and the series has been my all time favorite since.
@@triforcetimes Ha-ha, but seriously, like "marine" only the i is different because there's no e at the end... only you're pronouncing the i correctly. You're just pronouncing it like Krillin's girlfriend "Maron" with a long a for some strange reason?
I've played the three versions of this game (original, DX and remake) and I've loved the experience every time. One of my favorite Zelda games.
it's a great one for sure

This is also why the Sim City theme is playing in his house.
Thank you, i also wanted to comment this

This is my first Legend of Zelda and is my favorite video game of all time
You should try a link to the past next if you liked links awakening

If link keeps hitting a hen with Marin at one point Marin encourage you to keep hitting them

My very first Zelda. Got it for Christmas ❤
very nice, that's a special memory
You can sprint into trees in ALTTP and get items as well.
That's true
Instead of turning the mushroom into magic dust, you can use it as a weapon against the first phase of the final boss. It'll take it down in one hit.
I like this one
I remember learning about the bomb arrows from Nintendo Power. I'm pretty sure there were some other weapon combos in the game too.
I used to love reading about that stuff in magazines

Claude M Moyse was a translator for Nintendo in the 90s. His translations or games were often really unique and funny.

very cool. I didn't know about this one until recently
Mr. Wright based on Sim City's Dr. Wright - the music in his house is even the same music from Dr. Wright's menu.
thank you
I never knew about the flying rooster/boomerang trick! This game got me into the series, so it's still my favorite of the handhelds :P
The flying rooster trick is hilarious
Gb and gbc zeldas will always be my favorites.
I do love Link's awakening, I think it's better on the gameboy compared to switch
@@triforcetimes the oracle series is my favorite. All the greatness from links awakening, but I really like the ring and secret systems. I've probly played through those games at least 100 times. Played them for 20 years and still play them.

Oh man, I remember that OG gameboy, good times! (except the no backlight for the screen)
I always love to see more Link's Awakening content, thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!

Hi just wanted to say I like your videos as I love learning anything and everything about Zelda, and in particular I really like your thumbnails 👏🏼
They look great
Hey, thanks!
You straight up left out the special ending you getting for beating the game with a zero death count.
I did, didn't have footage of this tremendous gaming achievement
Great video. Thanks. If you play through the game without dying, Marin's wish will be granted and she will fly away with wings after the end. Her wish was to leave the island as a seagull and this is fulfilled after the credits, but only when the counter is at 000, i.e. 0 deaths.
wow, 0 deaths would be tough!

7:48 Yeah, that's a great one. Sadly though, you can't screen transition while still holding the rooster and the boomerang beneath you.
That's is true, big shame
Marin becomes a bird if you win without dying and she survives

I couldn't get into this one until they reimgined it on Switch. And I am so thankful they did that as it has turned out to be AWESOME!
it's a VERY good remake on Switch, I hope they do more
Never played the Remake, but I don't like the art style and such. I love Links Awakening DX

@@zalden2565 Same
4:55 I think that I did actually know of this at one time, but forgot DX
I iwsh I had known about this one when I first played it
Fact I bought this game on a Sunday when I was young.
this is a good fact
I also wish the 2019 devs hadn’t gone with the name “Lil’ Devil” for the previously named Mad Batter, it makes it a bit too creepy for me
Good fact, I didn't know that one
Another Fun Fact:
Robin Williams, Jack Black, Will Smith and Rosario Dawson were fans of Zelda 3 and even own copies of the game.
good one!
But this video is about Zelda 4...
This game is the GOAT man. Best Zelda and a top 3 game of all time. If you have never seen the Tim Rogers bit on this I suggest you check it out.
I'm a big fan of Tim Rogers
"Mamu" is the Japanese game for Wart in Doki Doki Panic.
I didn;t know that, thank you
Probably beat this game 10 times, now I got an itch to beat it again lol
ah but which version would you choose?
In the german version if you name.the file "MOYSE" you have also another melodie
thanks for the fact
I did not know about the walrus reappearing
glad to help you find out some new info
Also bizzblopsnon germany GB version they say "NIE OHNE KONDOM" wich translated means "NEVER WITHOUT CONDOM"
