I just got the game and your walk through is the best out... it’s efficient in keeping us from running around the world lost. Thank you for the content!
i know this is old but i'm new to Zelda games (started with TOTK, then BOTW, and now I just got my own switch and this game) and your walkthroughs are so helpful! I'd be so very lost without you, you're awesome :D
3 yrs later and I am finally picking up this game. Just wanted to say thank you for this full play through! I don’t usually play Zelda games, but the look of this game made me want to try! After my hubby got me through the first dungeon, I felt it was appropriate to try and do this for myself! Going through the Bottle Grotto and defeating the boss made me a little bit more proud of myself. I look forward to watching and then playing this game with your playthroughs!
Dude, you have no idea how much of a nostalgia trip this is watching you play. I played this SO MUCH as a kid (my first Zelda game on GameBoy Color) and I have yet to pick this version up yet (60 bucks is kinda expensive for me at the moment). This is so much fun watching this game again - hopefully I'll pick it up on sale in the future.
ChrisWCorp Just finished it, what a pleasure it was! Graphics and sound design is really great, especially the soundtrack in level 6. If that one had a bit of reverb it would be a solid 10/10. Game overall I would say easily a 8/10. Also played the original on the GBC as a kid, first hour I felt like the time went back. So much nostalgia!
The damn room where you have to kill one enemy with a pot and the other with a sword in a specific order was kinda bullshit if you ask me. I promised myself I wouldn't use a guide but the game just pulls a gas one on you like that, how was I supposed to guess. Also, powder turn on torches and Fairies don't receive you when you die, this game breaking Zelda conventions trigger me.
I get it, but you guys are forgetting that this is a remake of a very old game... before those conventions existed. Sure they could've added them, but I can't blame them for staying true to the original mechanics.
6:38 Actually, there IS another way to defeat it. When it starts sucking you in, use the Roc's Feather to jump right at the edge of the hole, and you can clear the gap and land on the corner platform with it. Apparently, it can't actively harm you, so you're then free to dispatch it with a quick sword swing. "But how do I get back over?" You may ask. Two ways: - One, run to the very edge of the platform and jump, and KEEP RUNNING (holding the joystick in the rightmost direction) until you've touched the edge of the opposite side and scrambled into solid ground again,* OR - Two, run diagonally towards the top right corner of the platform and jump to land on the corner edge of the other side. *Alternatively, you can use this method to get both to AND from the platform where the enemy is, but the method of using its suction attack to your advantage all but guarantees you'll make it over. Plus, using the suction method, even if you fall into the hole trying to get back over, you'll respawn at the entrance to the room.
Your walkthrough has been very helpful. I’ve been trying to figure not only how to defeat the shy guys, but how to get the boss key. I’ll tune in whenever I get stuck again. Thanks!
I don't think that's anyone's decision. RUclips has been doing this to all channels, RUclips is getting cheap and wants one to support themselves. I had someone tell me they see ads on my videos and I don't even monetize them.
Austin John I've become a huge fan of your content. I didn't even play this game and the walk through was excellent. It would be great to see more let's plays from you, especially with sword and shield fastly approaching. Keep doing what you're doing sir, superb.
This was a really helpful video. I just picked up the game a few days ago and was completely lost as to what to do on this stage. This was like three things I probably would have never figured out or thought of shown in here. Especially killing that vortex thing. So thanks 👍
I know I’m late to the video... But you left out something. After you kill the three guys in that weirdly specific order, go up the stairs to the left and it’s a little mini game with piranha pants and goombas
I got myself stuck with the orange squares in the "up" position. When I left the room, it was the same way. I finally used my bow and arrow to shoot across and hit the lever. It worked. Now I can continue on
Haha you got no idea how long I have been trying to solve the stalfos, imprisoned pols thing and keese for. I got stuck on that bit years ago on the original gameboy Link’s awakening when I was about 10 or 11. I am now 35! Thanks to your walkthrough, I have now finished that puzzle. Also, don’t worry, I haven’t been playing this each day since I was 11!
You will finish this game within a few days. Being a youtuber forces you to rush those games to stay in the hype. You can’t sit back and enjoy it because some other people might complete their let’s play before you. Thank you for you content. I would watch even without the hype. You should do let’s plays of older Zelda games too.
I've died once already, RIP me. But I figured, since you're doing these, I'm probably able to see this so-called special ending by you, and if not by you, someone else. XD
Thank u for the help on this dungeon i have had this game since i bought my switch and that was like idk 1 to 2 years now i have been stuck on that dungeon i litterally gave up on the game lol so thank u very much on this helped so much
Cmon bro just post up the whole walkthrough I literally left off where you left off at and I refuse to continue until you post more stuff up but you are taking forever lol we want the full walkthrough 😂
This os a really helpful guide! I know each episode will lead up to a dungeon or just be the dungeon. So ill play and do everything i can find then come back and watch the videos to catch up!
Hi, thank you for the video. This is my first time playing Link’s Awakening. Are you supposed to learn this stuff as you go or is there some sort of tutorial along the way?
I have watched the first 4 episodes 3 times each lol so I can memorize what to do and whats where lol. Right now I'm just about to walk into the second dungeon, Genie kinda freaks me out tho so wish me luck. Also, Links Awakening is my second Zelda game ever and I'm absolutely loving it. Keep up the good work Austin, loving the videos!!
@@MichaelPickering29 I feel watching these walkthroughs without playing the game defeats the purpose of solving the puzzles on your own. I would recommend playing through the game first, then watch this vid to do 100% completion on a second playthrough
@@justindza I'll play how I wanna play, you play how you wanna play. I'm still getting used to the mechanics of Zelda and the patterns and puzzles. Thanks for your opinion but I will do as I please.
@@MichaelPickering29 the way you wanna play is a waste of 60 bucks pal. Solve the puzzles on your own like a true gamer. What is the point of playing with a walkthrough on your first attempt?
Genie when you dont use Austin's tutorials: dude this guy is so confused, this is too ez Genie when you use Austin's tutorials: oh, no I gotta get out of here
Not sure if you’re still needing help by now lol.. but I found mine from the well (before entering the mysterious forest), just cut the three bushes with your sword and walk forward to fall in. These bushes always give you those 3 hearts btw. The claw machine (trendy game) and the town tool shop is where you’ll find your other heart pieces! Hope this helps.
Very useful for tips. For the most part, I’m trying not to watch as I haven’t played Links Awakening before, and want a blind experience. However this is an excellent guide and I can see myself using it for the future (including a Hero play through)
Hey!! So I found a glitch when fighting the honix. If you fall into the bottom left hole you get glitched/respond into the room where the musical instrument is in. I thought it was pretty cool
For the bunbuns I didn't know what to do so I dusted one, and was able to lift it, and threw it at the other and it killed it (but not the one I threw). It was kinda amusing. I first thought it was a friendly but was very disappointed.
You can kill the pols voice (rabbit enemy) later in the game with the boomerang and bombs (stun with boomerang, then use a bomb). I figured this out in one of the dungeons with 3 pols voices and only 2 pots. Not sure if the song is still in this game or a 3rd way to kill them.
Alright I've started this game yesterday and I didn't realize that you could hit the switch even if the blocks were up. I was getting kinda desperate because I didn't know how to go forward...
I just got the game and your walk through is the best out... it’s efficient in keeping us from running around the world lost. Thank you for the content!

"shy guy is the second Mario character we've seen in the game after goombas"
Bow-Wow: am I a joke to you?
He's also seen spinies
Also off-brand Mario
And Mario knock-off
Also off brand Mario
He’s also seen piranha plants
Killing those three enemies in a certain order, IMO that’s not a good puzzle. It has no connection to logic whatsoever 🙄
C1V1L WAR agreed, even with the owl clue, how do I know what a pols voice is?!?!
@@ssheen79 Imprisoned is the key word.
Well, its a really old game, and retro 2d zelda games were relativey harder than most modern zeldas anyway
@@sentientfleshdoll By “harder”, do you mean obnoxiously cryptic in order to pad out the playtime?
@@robertrada4783 well.. sort of

Lol, very true
Fr tho, i there isn’t any clue (that i could find) to help
Same, so far this game is not impressing me at all

Yooo. My game is saved exactly where this one ends. Can't continue without Koholint Island's Navi, aka Austin John Plays.
Been loving this Links Awakening content my dude, keep up the good work! (Also please don’t speak in an Australian accent ever again)
You may be thinking about lord of the flies, with the conch.
Your walkthrough has been very helpful. I’ve been trying to figure not only how to defeat the shy guys, but how to get the boss key. I’ll tune in whenever I get stuck again. Thanks!
I've never seen a RUclipsr who thoroughly discuss a video game in my life thank you so much ️
What is Zelda’s favorite app?
LinkedIn
It’s definitely Lord of the Flies where the conch shell plays an important part to the story. 💯
“Fan of Austin John Plays here. And today, we are going to...” =) Thanks for all nice content bro!
Thank you for reducing the screen brightness, you really make the most complete and thoughtful walkthroughs😭😭😭🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Austin John is stepping up to 2 ads playing before his video starts. proud of you bro

I’ve allready done all of this, but I like you and your vid’s so I’m still watching...
Great walk through man, following through right now, trying to 100 percent zelda.
Appreciate it !
I love that chain chomp tells you where to dig for shells also wish I could walk him more often

After you kill the three guys in that weirdly specific order, go up the stairs to the left and it’s a little mini game with piranha pants and goombas
seems to be a shortcut :)

This is the 3rd episode I watched and I'm hooked lol
I have already unlocked the full map and almost got the wind fish, I’ve been sick all day.
so glad that the book title you chose was "the old man and the sea" and not "lord of the flies"
Man I could go to a candy store and you still would be the biggest life saver I’ve seen today
i got the game when it came out, got up to here, got stuck, gave up, that was a little while ago now THANK YOU
I highly appreciate that brightness reduction I would've gone blind without it
Thank you for this! I’m playing Link’s awakening for the first time and this has been helpful
I am all here for this damn near rapid fire uploading, really great stuff
7:00 I don't have any keys left, what do I do 😭😭😭
This was amazing I got so confused on the part where you needed to get the boss key thank you so much
These have been great. Thank you so much for putting them together!
"There, there, tell your friends"
I say this all the time loooool
Why is this game so hard to solve? Like defeating those three enemies to get the nightmare key with out this video I will never ever finish this game
I know right? That’s not a logic puzzle, that’s asking the player what am I thinking?
Lol
I was stuck over the puzzle with the nightmare key chest. Thanks for this walkthrough!
I've died once already, RIP me.
But I figured, since you're doing these, I'm probably able to see this so-called special ending by you, and if not by you, someone else. XD
