    The big thing that I loved about this was the new soundtrack! I was playing the original a couple of months before the remake came out and every time I got a new instrument, my eardrums be rupturing. When I got to animal village, my cat kept trying to trying to find the singing animals until she realized they’re coming from the TV. 😆

    The first video I watched of your was your first Link’s Awakening review. I loved how you pointed out its flaws (sometimes it’s easy to only say good things about a game). I’m so glad you came back to review this version.
    Oh and yes, we need the Oracle games in this style.

    • @PelvicGaming
      @PelvicGaming  4 роки тому +2

      Thank you. :-) I feel if you ignore a games flaws you're not actually appreciating the entire package.

    • @will4not

      I agree. Link's Awakening is my favorite Zelda game. And each of the three versions has flaws. But each is great too in their own way.

  • @tarcmaylor
    @tarcmaylor 4 роки тому +2

    Lady Pelvic, you gotta get out of my head, 'cause I agreed with literally everything you said. Even the boss theme being a real bop!
    Great review vid as always, and can't wait until the next one!
    PS: if you wanted to go wayyyyyyy old retro... any chance of a Crystalis review? The original on NES was released in 1990, but it was relatively recently released for Switch as part of the SNK 40th Anniversary bundle. It was a gem of my childhood that I'd love for someone to shed more light on. I don't normally do requests like this, but I figure if anyone would do it it's someone who reviewed Legend of Dragoon... ;)

  • @epicnipple8746
    @epicnipple8746 4 роки тому

    The item map mechanic is so much better than the old version. The two-button setup made it less fun than it should have been. The switch is a huge improvement and you’re right about that. Also, if a game is not fun, it doesn’t matter how good it looks. Not unlike choosing a lover.

  • @rmdcade1717
    @rmdcade1717 4 роки тому +2

    This is the first game I ever owned, well the game boy version. I have gone through this one too. As a 6 year old who had just learned to read, it was quite the journey indeed. I finally beat it two years after getting it. I was very pleased to see almost every little game mechanic that wasn’t a glitch returned. I was surprised when almost every trick from the game boy was doable in this one. Also, I hate Guardian Acorns.

    I remember watching you play this. Fun times. I was only ever marginally a fan of this game, so I'm satisfied watching people stream it. Now if they did Oracle of Ages/Seasons like this, it would be a wrap. I would also be down for a Mario Maker style game for the LoZ dungeons. It seems like it would be fun.

    Oracle games are RIPE for this style of remake, especially since they were built off of the same foundation as Link's Awakening. Personally I'd love to see Zelda 1 or 2 remakes that cut out all the old-school gaming nonsense, give them proper translations (obvi keep "I am error" tho), and better controls that take advantage of more than two buttons wouldn't hurt either. But otherwise keep the changes small and stay mostly faithful so it's this cool preservation of their place in the series history.

  • @chaosprime1629

  • @gyrados78
    @gyrados78 4 роки тому +1

    I had the same final thoughts when I finished the game. I didn't care for the chamber dungeons and really missed the photo mouse... at least I think he was a mouse? The ridiculous Frogs Song of Soul was one of my favourites for sure, but it's hard to pick my number one track... too many good ones. if I can mention one thing in particular I really loved how all the dungeon music was fleshed out! One of my top 3 Zelda games for sure.

  • @Hayseman-zk3do
    @Hayseman-zk3do 3 роки тому

    I remember this game fondly on the Game Boy. The only thing that sucked was that I never got a chance to finish it because I believe that I triggered a bug in a room where the Boss Key was located. No matter what I did to solve the puzzle the key never manifested. So I couldn't progress any further. grrrr. I may have to purchase a switch or a switch light so that I can finally finish this classic.

    This remake looks really nice, great game, no doubt. I didn't play it yet, but I think it is still below the great Zelda masterpiece, A Link to The Past because the colors don't match as much. And I still think The Minish Cap is the cutest Zelda game ever.

I *NUDGED* that stupid Piranha Plant and had to deal with it on its side between the two moving platforms. That was hilarious and awful.

The only one I've finished to date was Wind Waker, though I've owned many titles in the series.

There are so many interesting things over there, but the only game in the series I can think of that MAYBE lets you go there is Wind Waker; it's hard to tell when everything's underwater.
