Matt O'PhillipsHOST
Well, all I'll say is that being that Ocarina of Time is coming to the Switch, I think, if I'm correct, going on all console-based games, Twilight Princess is the only game you can't play on your Switch at this point.
Paul JamesHOST
Right, so you've got the original Zelda 2 or Nintendo Switch Online, Link the Past is Nintendo Switch Online, Link's Awakening has a remake there, but also probably the Game Boy version is NSO.
Paul JamesHOST
Ocarina of Time is there, but it was obviously going to get its remake as well.
Paul JamesHOST
The original version of Majora's Mask is there.
Michael HannonHOST
So this is essentially the reason why I was so interested in this game.
Michael HannonHOST
is as soon as you look at it, you immediately see Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening for the Game Boy Color, specifically the Game Boy Color version of it.
Michael HannonHOST
And I was immediately interested in that of just looking at it and being like, okay, well, this... is a style that we typically don't see.
Michael HannonHOST
You know, Mina the Hollower this year was close to it, but kind of not using the same palette and not using the same kind of restrictions that the Game Boy Color would natively.
Michael HannonHOST
And you like you grab a key that works for the dungeon and you're solving puzzles that are dealing with you lighting braziers and the item you get from the dungeon is going to let you get to the next dungeon in the overworld because as soon as you pick it up you're like oh okay now I have this thing to get across this gap fantastic.
Michael HannonHOST
And it all feels like that in a real homage sort of way that feels like it's its own thing.
Michael HannonHOST
It definitely isn't Link's Awakening with a new coat of paint on it.
Michael HannonHOST
It really does feel like a modern game.
BobPANELIST
Yeah.
BobPANELIST
I, I, I think for me, um, granted I am not the biggest Zelda fan, but I've played, um, you know, Link to the Past, I've played Link's Awakening, I've played Breath of the Wild: Tears of the Kingdom.
BobPANELIST
Uh, and I, um, have played a bit of Ocarina of Time.
BobPANELIST
And I think for me, I ki-
TimHOST
Like even the Game Boy, which is...
TimHOST
Guys, Game Boy has mostly really ugly games, but Link's Awakening-
JeffHOST
Yes
TimHOST
... is a really good looking game.
Michael DamianiPANELIST
Awakening 2019 says hello.
Michael DamianiPANELIST
What? Link's Awakening 2019 for Switch.
Michael DamianiPANELIST
A remake, yes.
Michael DamianiPANELIST
What's this? What is this? I know.
Michael DamianiPANELIST
Zelda.
Michael DamianiPANELIST
I sincerely hope that people who really never played one of these types of Zelda games and are you know, as you said, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom were their first major exposure.
Michael DamianiPANELIST
Even if they played Link's Awakening, which was a traditional Zane, but it's different.
Michael DamianiPANELIST
That's an old school 2D style Zelda game.
BryceHOST
It's not like the...
BryceHOST
Wind Waker? Or Link's Awakening.
BryceHOST
Oh, yeah.
BryceHOST
That kind of doll sort of aesthetic that they did earlier.
Greg LeahyHOST
It's the
Guillaume VeilletteHOST
whole reason why I skipped Link's Awakening.
Guillaume VeilletteHOST
I played that game probably 30 times at least.
Guillaume VeilletteHOST
When the remake came out, it looked beautiful, and I was like, yeah, that's awesome.
John MarcoHOST
I didn't finish Skyward Sword, but then I didn't play another Zelda game until Breath of the Wild.
John MarcoHOST
And then that's kind of what made me go back to the past and then play the 90s games, Link's Awakening, A Link to the Past.
John MarcoHOST
But I never actually played Ocarina of Time.
John MarcoHOST
I tried to play it on my Switch a few years ago, and honestly, I just was like...
Jeff GrubbHOST
Breath of the Wild, number one.
Jeff GrubbHOST
Tears of the Kingdom, Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time, then, uh, Link's Awakening, the, that includes, like, the remake-
Jason FanelliGUEST
Ooh
Jeff GrubbHOST
... for, um, uh, uh, for Switch, which is, like, you know, seven, eight million.
Chris RaygunGUEST
I'm not even that big of a Zelda fan, but I've experienced more Zelda that I love than...
Chris RaygunGUEST
I really loved Link's Awakening when they did...
Chris RaygunGUEST
The remake? Yeah, I loved that remake.
Chris RaygunGUEST
I have a friend who loves that game from the original.
1 HR 32 MINS LATER
Brad EllisHOST
I looked at it.
Brad EllisHOST
I'm like, oh, yeah, this looks exactly like.
Brad EllisHOST
Link's Awakening or the Oracle games.
Brad EllisHOST
Looks cool.
