As a Zelda fan in the UK, it’s been a real struggle trying to get hold of the recently announced limited edition of the Link’s Awakening remake. After setting up email and phone alerts, contacting retailers, and constantly refreshing product pages all week, I was fortunate enough to claim my preorder today — and even then, the window of…
The Link’s Awakening limited edition has proved to be a very elusive item, going in and out of stock on most supporting retailers’ websites since its reveal. Nintendo of Europe has informed French retailers the shipment figure for the bundle, giving us an idea of just how rare it might be. 10,000 copies will ship on the…
While almost everything we’ve seen so far in the Link’s Awakening remake has been incredibly faithful to the original source material, it seems that Nintendo is still applying a few subtle-yet-sensible cosmetic changes. Sale, the owner of Sale’s House of Bananas on Toronbo Shores, has been given a notable furniture upgrade. In the original game, he had…
Previously, we shared GameXplain’s off-screen footage of Link’s Awakening that features a Cucco attack, stealing from the shop, and other activities in and around Mabe Village. Now, Zeltik has shared his own footage from the E3 show floor in which he tries to get as far as possible in the 15-minute time limit. He manages…
After showing a new trailer during the Direct presentation and demonstrating the game on Treehouse Live, Nintendo also allowed E3 attendees to go hands-on with the Link’s Awakening remake. There’s a lot going on in this off-screen footage from GameXplain, including: 2:48: A Cucco swarm attacks Link 3:30: Link successfully steals a shovel, but suffers the shopkeeper’s…
Nintendo Minute was of course in attendance at E3, and hosts Kit and Krysta were kind enough to share their experiences on the show floor with a new series of vlogs. In the first installment, the duo presents some off-screen footage of the Link’s Awakening remake at the 3:48 mark, with Krysta reclaiming Link’s shield from Tarin,…
As one of the featured upcoming games available to play at E3 this year, the Link’s Awakening demo section of Nintendo’s booth was decorated with dioramas depicting scenes from Koholint Island.

In a recent interview with Zelda series direct Eiji Aonuma, Game Informer asked what the future of Zelda remakes looked like. According to Aonuma, there are currently no plans for any further remakes. Given that they’re still working on finishing up the Link’s Awakening remake, it stands to reason they wouldn’t put another in the pipeline until they…
We still haven’t recovered from Nintendo’s showcase at this year’s E3. The Nintendo Direct presentation just did not give us a break in terms of excitement; the pace of announcements did not let up during those 40 minutes, and the surprises had us all screaming with joy. Nintendo more than made up for the absence…
In light of Link’s remastered journey to Koholint Island, the next Spirit Board event for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will feature Spirits related to Link’s Awakening (one of these things is not like the other).

On Tuesday, Nintendo producer and director Eiji Aonuma played Link’s Awakening on Nintendo Treehouse: Live.

You can catch the Treehouse…
In the Nintendo Treehouse segment on the upcoming Link’s Awakening remake, the team gave a sneak peek of the Color Dungeon, a dungeon originally exclusive to the DX version of the game. Treehouse staffer Audrey Drake runs us through the first puzzle, before bombing a wall to a secret room full of rupees. She stopped there to avoid spoiling…
Here’s another interesting tidbit from the recent Nintendo Treehouse stream on Link’s Awakening. While demonstrating gameplay in Mabe Village, Treehouse staffer Audrey Drake explained, “Your sword, shield, things like your Power Bracelet, Pegasus Boots are always equipped.” In the original game, you had to manually equip all of your items, assigning each one to the A or…
