I already played an excellent remake of it back in 1998, so I look forward to playing a better version of this one in around 2024.

There was some mumblings about the LA remake running weird, and I really hope it's been ironed out for release because LA is my absolute favorite game of all time :ohdear:

The new version of LA looks absolutely adorable and the fact that it's a smoother experience in terms of not being a screen flipper or constantly harassing you about the rocks and stuff is really appealing but I just can't justify full price for it when I still have a GBC cart that is basically the same game

Looking forward to playing the eventual Nintendo Selects version tho!

I'll stan for Membrane, which is a puzzle platformer with a weird aesthetic. You have to traverse single-screen rooms by shooting blocks to form bridges or ramps to get around the various hazards in each level. The physics work pretty well, the puzzles are well thought out, and there's the occasional difficulty spike, but it's never anything insurmountable. It goes on sale pretty regularly, but I think it's worth it at full price.

I bought this on sale for pennies using coins and it's definitely been worth it for that.

I have a lot of weird and/or lovely little indie games that way lol

Also Zelda isn't actually in this Zelda game (spoilers I guess)

Anyways, lets be decent and at least give warnings that stealing has repercussions. Permanent repercussions that will never escape you.

Due to this being a Gameboy game at heart it's super super straightforward. If you ever get lost there's a phonebooth in the centre of the village for tips. Oh also

Don't hold Marins hand on the first date or else you'll get the bad ending to that story arc. Also make sure that Talim eats breakfast before his first mission

Pro tip: The framerate issues are due to memory management problems. If you install the game to internal memory rather than SD card it will perform significantly better because the internal memory is faster. GameXplain has a tech analysis video from a graphics developer who pretty much lays out why it's occurring.

Feed Talim ONLY healthy fish, else you have to watch a heartbreaking scene in which Link attempts suicide by throwing himself off a cliff into the sea

I'm really shocked how many rave reviews Link's awakening is getting, I thought for sure due to the small scale and overall vibe of it it would be one of those 8/10 games.

Switch has too many good games, too many!

Enjoy! And then play Link to the Past on the SNES app immediately afterwards; and then play (at least a little bit of) the original LoZ on the NES app after that.
