The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is getting a full 3D makeover on Switch
Classic Game Boy game gets the Pokemon Let's Go treatment
Well that was a hell of a Direct. Not one of my predictions came true (apart from a stray dream of Captain Toad DLC, nice), and it all wrapped up with The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening getting a shiny new 3D remake on Switch.
It looks like the same weird game from yesteryear - Link facing off against his regular enemies in top-down dungeons and the like, mixed with random cameos of Mario enemies. But this time it's got a lick of paint, and you can play it in glorious HD.
There's not much more info than that at the moment - all we know is that it's due out sometime in 2019. We'll keep you posted as we learn more over the next year, of course.
26 years after its original release, The Legend of #Zelda: Link's Awakening will be reborn as a new experience for #NintendoSwitch later this year! #NintendoDirect pic.twitter.com/2wsdTAVn8R — Nintendo of Europe (@NintendoEurope) February 13, 2019
