It's very similar to the Oracles, the graphics, feel and controls are much the same, though there's no mechanic for changing the world overall as in the Oracles and there's no Ricky/Moosh/Dimitri to ride. If you loved the Oracles, you'll likely love Links Awakening. :)Quote:

I recall a review of Links Awakening once where the reviewer said something along the lines of "Superglue it in your Game Boy and don't look back". He was right. :D
Thanks Phexar, I know what I'll be looking for next time I go hunting for retro games! :D
It's weird how Link's Awakening has become the popular pick for best Zelda game. I remember playing it as a kid and enjoying it quite a bit and I was unaware people felt the same way about it until I got on the internet. I'm not sure if I'd call it the best Zelda game tho.
Picking which Zelda is the best is really hard to do. Ocarina has still managed to maintain status as one of the best games ever, let alone best in the Zelda franchise. And when I think about it, everything, from the locations to the music to the events that occur, in that game is so incredibly memorable, that it's tough to argue with that sentiment. Still, going just by gameplay, I've found the Oracle games to be at least as good as Ocarina, probably even more. So what do I choose? The game that's incredibly memorable, or the game with more involved gameplay?
I adore "Link's Awakening". You can't get me to sell that game.Quote:

I take pride in beating "Awakening" without a hintbook or maps and minimal help from NP tips. But goddamn that Level 8 dungeon was a bitch. Not hard, just a pain to get around in without maps.
You know, I played Link's Awakening when it first came out and found it to be a fun, satisfying adventure, but nothing particularly special to get excited about.
I tested my initial assessment of the game by playing through it again a few months ago and still found it to be a fun, satisfying adventure, yet still nothing to get excited about.
No particular reason for this; the graphics were nice, the gameplay was solid(ish), the quest was lengthy (but surprisingly focused) and the story was somewhat engaging. It did everything right, and yet it still didn't bring out the joy-joy feelings that games like Super Mario Bros, Mega Man 2, Resident Evil 4, Super Metroid, or even Wind Waker inspired.
Back to you, Rusty.
MrMatthews...you sir, are a doodyhead.
I admit bias on the grounds that it was the first one I owned and beat.
First Zelda game owned and beaten? Or first Gameboy game?
If it's the former, I'm with you. Link's Awakening is the first of only three Zelda titles I've ever completed.
Like I said, I can't put my finger on exactly why I'm not as impressed with the game as everyone else. Maybe you're right about that doodyhead thing, then?
First Zelda game I ever beat. I bought Kirby's Dreamland with my Gameboy (summer 'o 1993 baby!)
And I know I'm right about the doodyhead thing. I took a college class on how to tell when someone is a doodyhead, I got an A- in the class.

lol, I was afraid we were getting a little off topic. I'd make a Zelda thread so that this one wouldn't be invaded and derailed (further), but this is kinda a SEGA site...
Anyway, to make up for it by being a little more on topic, if a new ToeJam & Earl game was made, I'd pick it up. But I'm not going to pester anybody with emails, so if that's what it takes, then sorry...
Actually, Mr. Johnson is pretty busy with his company having a contract with Dreamworks, so it'll be a while anyway. He already knows about Pete Rosky and will give him a heads up once HumaNature Studios is done doing whatever project they have with Dreamworks.
