My favorite part of this game is when Link obtains Marin for a quest, lifting her over his head like any other item, complete with the little jingle. YOU GOT MARIN! The quest itself was also very nice.
I am someone who played LA on TV only. It will go down as one of my treasured memories, taking my first paycheck to Walmart and picking up the best Trifecta of games I have ever purchased, walking out of that store with Super Metroid, Megaman X and a Super Gameboy with Links Awakening in hand. I never had an original gameboy (ever) but did jump on the GBA as I was old enough to spend my own cash on things I wanted.
Other than Majoras Mask this has to be my favorite Zelda game Istarted a new playthrough this morning on my Super Gameboy. Such a great game with a truly heartfelt story.
My preferred way of playing Link's Awakening is the "DX" version on my custom Super Game Boy (a Super Game Boy 1 cart with a Super Game Boy 2 pcb board inside it) on a 32" Sony Trinitron ED crt tv.
I cannot believe that this channel doesn’t have more views. You are new to me, but your content is just as good as some of the other, much larger gaming essay channels Keep it up, Wayne
Gained a subscriber from the awesome editing and the DDR sound effects were a nostalgic whiplash. Link's Awakening is one of my fave Zelda titles in the entire series
This is the Game Boy Color version, which has its own specific colour palette and an extra colour dungeon that doesn't show up in the original Game Boy version. Many tiles have also been overhauled to look a bit less flat, so the colour itself isn't the only visual change.
My mom got me this game but my Gameboy broke. I had a pet fox. Nuff said. lol. So she got me a super Gameboy and to my surprise, my 32 inch tv was my Gameboy. It was awesome.
I died 3 times. I never knew Marin survived as a seagul. Sweet but also kinda sad. Like why not survive as human. Unless she was never human and only appeared as one but we really a seagul.
On its way Really sorry about that too, got side tracked by a lot of stuff along the way, but I'm hoping to focus on that as soon as the Digimon World review is out. Gonna have those Sonic videos coming out in the meantime, it's been an interesting challenge juggling all these ideas haha
@@BluePhoenix559 That's the idea! I'm trying to figure out how to tackle the series going forward, as I've got something special in mind for Majora's Mask, but I don't want to take too long to return to the Zelda franchise
This game really messed with my head by the time I was done with it. It presents an interesting morality issue. SPOILERS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL RANT AHEAD! Are these people alive even though they're a product of an elaborate dream? The people, animals and even monsters have their own personalities. When Link wakes the Wind Fish, we see the residents of the island disappear right before our eyes, and that just feels... wrong. Does Link inadvertently kill the residents of Koholint? Were they even alive to begin with? For that matter, Link and the Wind Fish are products of someone's imagination themselves, so who's to say they're not real. Maybe none of us are real, and we are ourselves part of some highly elaborate artificial realm. Is this the Matrix? Are we all actually dreaming? Am I real? What is 'real', anyway? The Greeks used to say "I think, therefore I am", but that idea was put through the shredder when computers were invented. Does it really matter anyway? For anyone who has read through all of this, I have a bit of advice: don't obsess over things you can't control. At the end of the day, whether we exist or not doesn't matter if there isn't anything we can do about it either way. Don't obsess too much over the psychological horror that is Link's Awakening. After all, you can always play through it again. Also, as a side note, it is very impressive that all of these ideas came from an Original Game Boy game. Link's Awakening was way ahead of its time.
I know the manga does play with the idea a little more. It’s such a intriguing concept, If we ever got another Zelda show I hope it would tackle this game.

This channel seriously needs more exposure for all your amazing work! I thought your channel was at the 20k tier for sure. At least. Keep it up, man!
my favourite Zelda, period ❤❤❤
Another great review 👏
See you next mission Wayne!
It’s it this colourful with the super gameboy? Or is this captured from another source thanks. Awesome 👏

Tempered and refined.. haha.. I see what you did there ;)
It amazing how the Zelda game with the weakest hardware powering it manages to be the best one of all.
Completely agree
My mom got me this game but my Gameboy broke. I had a pet fox. Nuff said. lol. So she got me a super Gameboy and to my surprise, my 32 inch tv was my Gameboy. It was awesome.
Love this game, I prefer the OG 93 version though.

Mash the A button through textboxes? Man, just try the b button to solve this problem 😂
When is the Ocarina of Time review coming
On its way

@@Wayneisboss It’s okay. The only game in the series I have beaten is the original. I’m playing Link’s Awakening right now.
Are you going to continue reviewing Zelda o games in the franchise once your review on Digimon World is uploaded?

this man likes Zelda 2? Tf???
Wayne is a masochist confirmed lol
I can make your trigger in just 6 words: A Link to the past sucks
