As much as I want to see a totally original new 2D zelda, I'd also like to see the oracle games given the same treatment as awakening. They're probably some of the most slept on Zelda games with plenty of neat unique ideas.
They were also the first Zelda games not developed by Nintendo, but rather they gave Capcom access to the Link's Awakening assets and told them to make sum Zelda.
@@voidedspark6494 Ok i never played the Remake. In the Original game there were only 20 shells and obtaining them all rewarded the player with the LV2 sword.
@@93Hexer Actually there were 22 or 24 (I'm not completely sure) - you are right though that you needed only 20 of them to get the sword, and any uncollected shells got converted into rupees once you did.
Im so glad they remade this game, i owned the original gameboy color copy of the game, but there was a gamebreaking glitch that locks you out of all progression. In one of the dungeons there was a specific room where a key is meant to drop, but if you are really unlucky you could kill all the enemies in the room (which is meant to spawn the key) and the jingle would play where the key is meant to spawn...but then it doesnt. You can leave and re-enter the room and dungeon and it will just keep repeating that jingle over and over, but the key wont spawn. Your save file is then completely fucked because there's no way to save it and you have to restart over from the beginning lol
also had the original version, as a kid I managed to softlock myself in eagle tower by throwing the ball into a spot it couldn't be reached and wouldn't reset even if you left the tower. fun times but i wasted so much time trying to fix it somehow
To be honest, I never knew there was a red tunic and a sword upgrade at all so this helps me with my current playthrough with Link's Awakening. Thank you linkus video that I didn't expect to find.
Jeah about thad the Tunic is the Reward for Beating the Color Dungeon but you have to decide if you want Blue (More Defense) or Red (More Damage) the Sword upgrade is the end of the Shell collecting quest fun fact the Color Dungeon wasn't in the Original game because it was for the old gameboy wich didn't has color but later in the Remake for gameboy color Called "Links Awakening DX" it got added
@@93Hexer In the Switch remake, the Koholint sword is actually the second to last reward for the seashells. The last reward is a chamber stone. That allows you to get it a little bit earlier, making it actually useful for more than just the final boss.
Yeah man, absolutely. Make a commentated speedrun of the whole game. I always enjoy those, and I pick up the easy tricks to pull them off when I replay the games.
These randomizers are so fun to watch, especially the lack of swords xD Link’s Awakening is really fun 😊 I love the open world Zeldas but sometimes I miss the more linear gameplay of the “older” titles.
@@theprocat719 You might be able to argue definitions but for the most part no. None of the old games (except maybe the first Zelda and Windwaker with the ocean) allows you to access or even see the full map (even something like Hyrule field is just a very large zone, on the old handheld games it only loads partials of the map because of hardware limitations, which makes it look very open but probably falls short of the general understanding of open world as you’re just loading in zones) and due to the linearity of the gameplay unless you’re glitching/hardcoding something (which is usually not how the game is designed to be played) most of the map is locked behind item or story checks anyway which limits where you can go and what you can do.
Same I was addicted to watching Randomizer races back in the day on OoT and Wind Waker and after finding Linkus' channel I'm in heaven learning pretty much every Zelda has a randomizer too, they're so fun because it's almost like a scavenger hunt
Seeing a full commentated run would be awesome! This game and it's original are some of my favorites from the series so it would be awesome to see the tricks dissected and explained
16:40 i won't even lie, i didn't know you could do that either that's sick asf, gonna have to replay link's awakening for the 100th time just for that (and my girl marin ofc
It really is. Everyone focused too hard on the graphic style but honestly it fits so well. I would love to see an HD remake in this style of ages/seasons, and we have the technology to make them one game this time.
An extra difficulty rise on Turtle Rock is in the original GameBoy version: Due to a slight progression oversight, it was actually possible to soft-lock your game, forcing you to restart from scratch. It was due to the small keys, and not unlocking doors in a certain order.
"This is the only zelda game where you can jump in" linkus7, meanwhile, breath of the wild tears of the kingdom in the back around. "Are we a joke to you"
He said ONE OF the only; and when the original Link's Awakening came out, the only other game with on-demand jumping was Zelda II. Between Link's Awakening's release in 1993 and Breath of the Wild's release in 2017, the only Zelda games with jumping items were Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages and Minish Cap, which were all developed by Capcom with heavy inspiration (and borrowed assets) from Link's Awakening.
I remember when I got the game I instantly checked the back (as everyone should). After you mentioned that they never brought it up in game, I'm glad I always check the back, as I loved using bomb arrows in boss fights.
Cool Detail: The Thumbnail is also randomized! If you pay attention to the thumbnail when going to skip an ad Link holds the Organ of Evening Calm instead of the Hylian Shield.
We've now crossed SO close to our goal. Can we get some Oracles content? 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 Literally anything? Ideally, I'd like to see a vanilla linked game and a couple of randomizers, but I'll take anything at this point.
I've been absolutely OBSESSED with LA and LADX glitches & speedruns lately, so this video came out at a good time! I haven't played the remaster casually yet so I haven't looked into the tech for it, so a commentated speedrun would be awesome to see!
I remember back as a kid I could not finish turtle rock at all in links awakening because I didn't know about the hidden wall in that one room. Both vanilla and the dx games went unfinished because of that dungeon lol But now that I know about said room I just feel silly for not doing the ol wall check with the sword.
0:39 Probably because there are literally only two action buttons on a GameBoy and thus they needed an item to act like Link to the Past's A button when it came to lifting up bushes and pots. Notably in Minish Cap, the power bracelets became passive items again now that you had the R button for context actions like rolling and lifting up items and the L button... Was dedicated entirely to fusing Kinstones...

3:30 i've heard that if you steal from that shop even once, you can NEVER go back, or the shopkeeper will kill you INSTANTLY.
Yea
Can confirm. He kills you with force lightning, like he's Palpatine. Also, every NPC refers to you as "THIEF" for the rest of the game.
Not in the randomizer tho.
yeah he zaps you with lightning also your name is changed to THIEF after you steal
You can go back after he kills you.

I want to see Minish Cap and the Oracle games remakes
I would be all over Oracle remakes hopefully on one cart and maybe even restore the rumored third game
