#LinksAwakening #Zelda #NintendoSwitch - Hry
5:00 You made it sound like Williamson had committed suicide.
Yeah, I got really worried and confused for a second
I literally rushed to the comments to see if I wasn't the only one jesus christ his tone drastically darkened right?
So I wasn't the only one who got real worried.
Same or some freak accident happen. Gosh damn I was really worried and scared
I think that was the point.
Why did that train ride story sounded like it came straight out of a creepypasta like someone was about to get killed
@@danielotano9956 Stickmaster is omnipresent
Same, it felt like he was about to announce someone passing away or some freak accident
I had goosebumps until they said "found him... ASLEEP" oh okay.
And then the in the video, Link looked at me and his eyes bleed and the text said "this is real"
@@SMA2343 and then he turned into a hyperrealistic skeleton and the screen was glitching
"They were forced to take a sledgehammer, and break the door down...
Where they found him asleep with his Gameboy."
I thought I was about to have a goddamn heart attack
They thought he already had
A game developer's hobby is to... develop another game...
Dude is living the dream.
Everything is work, one way or another. And maybe you have fun doing it.. but when it doesn't sell, or has terrible reviews and your life is garbage after that. Yup, living a dream
@@Big_Dai great way to put things into perspective.
Developing games is honestly a nightmare on any level
Myamoto: I have nightmares my games will have a game breaking bug
Bethesda: It's a feature
works for Gearbox too. Borderlands 3 has many serious bugs
@@terencecaron2922 links awakening ironically also had a crazy game breaking bug in that you can skip to the other side of the screen if you press select right as you transition to the next screen. link will stay in the same square and the screen will move over. lets you skip entire swathes of the game and gets all sorts of items early
*laughs in Ocarina of Time*
Laughs in speedrun
@@Alonne1 Laughs in the Chris Houlihan room
5:00 Had me scared for a moment given how he slightly switch his tone.
I know, I was actually very scared
Yeah that freaked me out too
and to make matters worse the music in the background makes it more disturbing for some reason
That was the intent..
I know someone will make a creepypasta out of this
What the hell was up with the change of tone for the train story? Narrator made it sound like the guy was gonna be found dead of a heart attack or murdered lol
Then, a Belgian Inspector would question all the passengers to uncover the true culprit!
@@ArcaJ And it turns out, the guilty culprit is EVERYONE!
I think "Sleeper" tried to go to Koholint himself to try and figure out how to beat the game.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH WOW HAHAHAHAHSHSHSHSSHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA
@@limericky8548 youre like the joker from batman
"Link's Awakening is becoming hard to come by, and we want fans to have access to it."
So… Can we have a remake of F-Zero, like, any of them?
It’s not THAT hard if you own a 3DS
It's not that hard with the magic of emulation!
@@JohnSmith-xf1zu queue articles of nintendo suing rom sites
ya jeez I wonder WHY it's so hard to play old games nintendo...
I have it on 3ds, and actually started playing it again today.
Link's awakening was the first game i ever played. I learned to read playing that game as a 4 year old. It holds an incredibly special place in my heart. And is to this day the standard of what it means to be a good game to me.
"Matt Williamson was locked inside his sleeping compartment and wouldn't answer calls. The train crew was forced to break the door down with a sledgehammer, where they found Williamson...
...fast asleep."
With his Game Boy still at his side.
Imagine being Miyamoto and having nightmares about the game's quality
I think a lot of people have nightmares about their job, though personally I think game glitches are fun. :P
@@christopherwilliams9418 Totally agree
I hope Miyamoto has nightmares about Paper Mario, he ruined the franchise
That's how Sega/Sonic team be like
QTV NickBro
Bugs can happen in the best of conditions. He’s not wrong to worry
Jeez bro you made that train person sound like he hung himself
After he beat the game and the island vanished, it just really got him to him you know?
Lol right?? I was expecting it to get dark for a second
420th like
7:42 "If only there was some service that allowed people to buy older titles individually, like a virtual console or something....."
Nintendo: New 3DS and 2DS are available in stores, now.
Lol
Get a 3ds and a Wii u easy to homebrew also wii
@Caio Coelho What are you talking about? It's plenty accessible.
Emulation does it for free.
Emulation for 3DS is even more free.
I wonder how many AA batteries were used up during that train ride🤔
enough to power the state of califoria probably
As a Californian, that would be beneficial for those of us with lack of electrical power
I mean, the Gameboy lasts like 20 hours so it wouldn't be that bad.
Not many I'd imagine. The GameBoy systems, along with the DS Lite are known for there battery life. Why such a drastic change for today's consoles? No idea.
@@brerdragon3942 I think today's technology use up more power to run more sophisticated tech. The Gameboy despite lacking color was able to consume less battery power and therefore last longer compared to handheld like Gamegear which uses color but drains battery faster.
That's the trade off: Better looking graphics or longer laster battery?
I know everyone is talking about how Remix makes it sound like Williamson committed suicide, but I'm just dying over how when he talks about the staff having to break down the door, they show Link blowing up a cracked wall with a bomb
I’m so happy this game is finally getting the attention and recognition it deserves. Zelda would not be what it is today without Link’s Awakening!
For real
This game was actually quite a nice and unique experience. The musics and graphics were a real treat for my eyes and ears
4:40 I love how the kid is casually walking around holding a Game Gear... in a video about the Gameboy... IN THE EARLY 90s! 😂
God no nokko now, sing to me blue, sing
Its a Sega spy
i would imagine a remake of Oracle of Ages and Seasons.
I would take 10 copies :D
I wonder how if Capcom has any say in that
I'm not so sure how that would work since ages and seasons are two different games.
I'd imagine the third game being realized this time around
I really hope they remake both Oracle games - especially if it reuses this new art style for Links Awakening. The Oracle games don't get nearly enough love. Plus I think it'd be super cool if they brought back the password system like the originals had too. I loved scribbling down those codes.
This is releasing 4 minutes before my lunch ends.
*but I got time*
Lunch break or lunch period?...
how you answer that question will determine how the rest of the internet respects you, are you a boy or are you a man?
Are you a giver or are you a taker?
Is it too dangerous for you to go alone or do the woods outside your village only become dangerous when you arrive?
Do you use your Shield standing up or crouching down?
Super Something *2x speed*
PAKTRA PRODUCTIONS it’s lunch period, I would normally watch it in the first part of class too but I have a test today
Yeah I got time
Why am I Shalpp? Me when I have time
That train story in this video almost gave me a heart attack. Seriously at 5:00 I thought the kid died or something
Remember when Chugga played this game years ago? Man, that was such a good lets play... like all of his lets plays.
Love chugga especially his Pokemon colosseum and gale of darkness let's plays
There's a starman waiting in the sky paper Mario let’s play got me into games
Man, I see you everywhere!
But you’re right. All of Chugga’s playthroughs are crazy good. My favorites are the Majora’s Mask and Luigi’s Mansion runs.
Yeah, I remember when Ray Narvaez Jr. played it a few months ago
@@jeri6533 really? Huh.
The most underrated Zelda, such a classic. I played it while recovering in the hospital from surgery.
I myself was actually playing the Oracle Games while I was recovering from Surgery in 2001
I think Minish cap is more overlooked.
honestly id say its one of the more popular top down ones, a real underrated one would be minish cap
Most underrated?
Its literally in EVERY top 5 Zelda games on ANY list ever
I hope that with the success of this remake we could also get Oracle of ages and seasons remakes in this art style!
Im hoping we could get a release of the third Oracles game Nintendo had to cancel :o
combine the two and release the third version
That would be awesome!
I want new games.. not ones I can play at any time with no additional value.
*BAGABOO*
If Link's Awakening has taught me anything, then it's to never do it without a condom.
Niklas Universe You give me your juice, I’ll give you mine.
I was waiting for this 🥰 but I bet they censored it
Niklas Universe I wonder if they’ll keep Moyse’s song in the game.
...Probably not, though.
NathanGuiaYT sorry to disappoint, but they didn’t. They did add a new one now. And obviously… they updated the old ones. The new one happens if you type in the girls name. I forgot her name so… feel free and correct me on that and tell me what her name is. But… If you enter her name on the file selection screen, a certain song will play. I’m sure you know what it is.
@@BlindMelonLord Marin?
The train ride story reminded me of Paper Mario 2
judging from how the stories from the Nintendo devs real lives manifest into their games, i'd almost guess that Spirit Tracks has some reference to this train story
Same!!
How
5:10 WHY DID YOU SCARE ME LIKE THAT
That ending on the train was not what I expected.
You expected the kid to be declared the official winner??
Gabe Puratekuta no, I thought the guy they had to wake up was dead or something
@@sparkydoodle696 But that's not the end of the train story. That's more around the middle
He really made it sound like something happened to him.
5:00 his tone here legit made me think the guy was dead
I'm so glad Link's Awakening has a surprising amount of fun history and impact on the series, I feel like I'm one of the few people who really cares about it :')
Hey, the remake is one of the highest selling switch games.
“..is becoming harder and harder to come by”
When you own a copy of the Link’s Awakening
same?? still have my copy and its staying in my GameBoy Color.
I have a VC port of the Game Boy Color version via the Nintendo 3DS but never offically beaten it. I did however beat both Oracle games (on my GBA) which used a similar layout of the screen as Original Link's Awakening
I still have my DX cartridge
I got a copy at some bargin store. Never ever losing it
@@Wiiguy1606 Same
I remember my big bro always playing Zelda 1 & 2, very fond memories, but Awakening I hold dear to my heart, it was MY first Zelda game I ever played and I absolutely loved it. I would always play it when big bro was at school or something (I must’ve been like 2 or 3) and erase my file before he got home because I thought he would be mad (even tho I know now he wouldn’t)
why did the tone suddenly shift on that "dude was sleeping in his compartment" story like it was gonna end with "and they found him dead"
5:00 what the hell was that?! You make it sound like he was dead!!
"where they were forced to sledgehammer his door"
*Oh no not on the train ri-*
"Where he was sleeping with the Gameboy at his side"
*Oh god damn it don't do that!*
Remember to visit the Crane Game when you find Marin!
If you try going into a dungeon with her she waits outside and I think has an animation of her just relaxing when you come out that you wouldn’t normally get to see.
@@AllHailKingKurt Yep. I usually visit Tail Cave when I find Marin because by then, you'll have bombs to open the chest in there.
@@Midna78 That's nothing. I had a prize bounce off the conveyor belt and back into the grab area.
Thank you so much. I just did this and it was hilarious.
@@Midna78 Have you tried grabbing the Piranha Plant? It's too tall to grab it in an upright position so the crane knocks it over... it took me like 20 tries to get it after that because it kept dropping it mid-air xD
5:00 “They got us in the first half, not gonna lie!”
He was just sleeping in his bed...menacingly!!!
I remember the slide puzzle in skyward sword as a make your own dungeon type of puzzle that I enjoyed chaining as many rooms as possible together.
It’s like a puzzle within a puzzle.
Once you managed to reach a control panel while your current room is in the dead center of the whole dungeon, it can be quite easy to rotate all the other rooms around you until the room with a Triforce is lined up with you. At least that's how I did it on reruns
That Metroid shirt (2:53) is pretty bomb.
I never played Link's Awakening but I read the manga and man does it hit you hard.
People are losing their verification for their channels and it sucks.
Yeah, it really does.
I didn't notice
Damn they maybe lost it cuz game rhymes with gay
@@RushsBasement1 what?
Why exactly is this happening?
Why Trash Earth CZcams’s been sending emails saying they’re “updated” how their CZcams verification works... and now people are losing their verification.
Did you know:
This game will release tomorrow?
And people are gunna shell out 60 and tax (US dollars) for a reskin. Lol don’t get me wrong, Links’s Awakening is easily one of the best hand-held Zelda games but 60 is a lot! Maybe I should wait 2 months when it drops to 49.99.
@@PittsburghSonido that's why I'm thinking about getting it with the ticket thing on the eShop. It makes the price of the game 50$
Did you know:
The game was already leaked a week ago. You can get it on r/SwitchNSPs
Aaron Hamilton ticket thing?
@@nerad1994 if you have switch online, you can buy a voucher for 2 tickets that when divided out, is 50$ per game
>Harder and harder to come by
Gee Nintendo, if only there was a free, digital historical record of games that people could play...like ROMs or something....
...and the game would still be hard to come by. releasing a rom wouldn't fix the small supply of cartridges left on the market.
ps:if you want roms go to archive.org. (the page is dmca protected.)
people usually only use it to save websites and risky tweets before they get deleted but there's also a pretty large group of people that upload all kinds of old software. it's basicly the only site that nintendo can't take down.
If only they'd sell their old games online or on the Switch then people wouldn't pirate them
@@FrancisYorkMorganFBI There are a lot of carts out there...
90% of gameboy stuff doesn't get rare.
Excluding the fact that it would be piracy. If you had a cart, you could back up the ROMs.
Plus they seem to have forgotten 75 million people own a 3DS or 2DS
Amazing, I never imagined that there could be a connection between Zelda and Twin Peaks, I'm a big fan of both.
I'm happy that Link's Awakening was officially moved to after A Link to the Past. Because it never made sense it being after Oracles (despite the boat reference), because it was a different Link (Oracles Link has a Triforce mark) that met Zelda for the first time at the end, lol.
Good luck with Eagle's Tower, everyone.
I actually mentally blocked out Eagle's Tower until you mentioned it. xD
I recently played the gbc version and beat it first try but just out of luck
Ocsttiac If you Know what you are doing you can beat it within few Minutes without visiting most of its rooms One single time.
It was relatively easy, but time consuming
I've never felt so much fear and intimidation until this video's train ride story
*_And I love it_*
Stop following me
Jacob Boughton Hello there.
Wow, a comment of yours that isn't overly liked. I'm suprised.
@@DylanDude sorry if I'm following you. I'm trying to find as many Christopher moon comments as possible. But seriously he is even on reddit!
First I thought you were gonna say the train drove off a broken down bridge, then I thought you were gonna say the Sleeper had died in some way lmao. I assume that the tonal shift was on purpose for suspense purposes but a lot of people sure seem mad about it haha.
Really happy about this remake! Links Awakening is one of my favorite, and first, Zelda game!
My first Zelda game! So happy it is being remade!
Even though I'm more of a Mario fan than a Zelda, I would have totally participated in that contest if I had the chance.
That's funny. I'm marathon-ing Twin Peaks this month.
Fire walk with me.
Me too. Can't believe I haven't watched it sooner, it's great.
It's unbelievable how this amazing game was on the Gameboy. Nuts.
At 6:54 Eiji talks about Nintendo asking him to make a new IP, I wonder if and when we will ever find out what that could be! It makes me excited!
Wait, Twin Peaks??
.....Game starts with a body (Link) discovered on the shore, there's an owl that's not what he seems, there are creatures in red that walk backwards, seemingly out of nowhere references...(also realizes it's now sitting next to Deadly Premonitions on his Switch dash.)
One of my most favorite beloved zeldas for sure
I played this game almost as much as I played Pokemon red/blue. Absolutely one of my favorite Zelda games
Dungeon maker actually reminds me of that one dungeon in Skyward Sword where you could arrange the rooms in different order, maaaaybe that's a very early way of testing this?
5:08 you got me good there. I'm glad that wasn't anything that I expected to hear
Hooray, you used my touch-up of Tarin's artwork! I can tell because the hair is a bit too light.
I was thinking that they would do the Link's Awakening Switch video after the game is out.
Now they just need to re release all three Oracle games made by Capcom yes I know only two got released but there was initially supposed to be three.
There were four officially released Zelda games by Capcom.
@@DylanDude well I do know that the Oracle series the one I'm talking about was supposed to have three in total representing the Triforce and whatnot or the three goddesses I mean
"Miyamoto has nightmares of gamebreaking zelda bugs"
Oot / MM speedrunners: whaddup
Thanks so much for making this
Twin Peaks, of all things... Now this makes me want for Nintendo to raise the bar my making one inspired on Silent Hill.
They almost did. Its codename was Pokemon 2
@@GabePuratekuta Are you sure about that? The only thing I do know is that, at one point, it was meant to make one Zelda video game, being futuristic and with sci-fi elements (to become instead, and in the end, the one we know as _A Link to the Past,_ if I recall correctly.)
@@geoleo965 Kinda? The starting town was named Silent Hills in the beat Gold/Silver demos
@@GabePuratekuta Betting that it was purely coincidental, then. Or meant as a simple easter egg at best.
@@geoleo965 Doesn't that only count if it's in the final release?
every time I find out something about this game it just further impresses me like knowing that this game had an affect on how Ocarina of Time was made
Fun fact: Because the development team (aka the afterschool club) was working on Link's Awakening under the radar, and that official art for Zelda titles-- up until Ocarina of Time -- had been outsourced to animation studios, a person from Toei Animation factually contributed to the game's production.
I genuinely enjoy all Your videos
Such a great video here!
"He's just the kinda guy to make a fishing game, you don't even need to ask him to do it" ❤️❤️
I love that link writes his name on the back of his shield like "If lost please return to link"
5:00 "Matt Wiliamson was locked inside his sleeping compartment and wouldn't answers his calls"
Me: ಠ.ಠ
"They found Williamson... _fast_ _asleep_ "
Me: phew...
Is that another way to say he died 😢
Great. Now give the same treatment to Wario Land pls.
The idea of people making their own dungeons in a Zelda game dates back to the original game, The Hyrule Fantasy, where it was a scrapped concept that you could make your own dungeons and then show a friend and watch them play the dungeons.
My first Zelda. Can't wait to buy it once again
Link's Awakening is the best Zelda game ever made. Where some of the other games might be more impressive or have more intricate stories there is zero fat on Link's Awakening. Everything is so tightly designed and polished with virtually no real flaws in it's design and pace, I truly believe it's the most objectively good Zelda game.
This video was super good I had no idea that this game began as an hobby kind of thing!
5:00 "I gently open the door..."
Excellent research! I'm excited to re-play a beloved title.
You lead up that Williamson Train story like they were about to deadass discover a train murder mystery and you blindside me with a happy ending what the hell man i didnt even finish
I remember playing this game back when the 3ds eshop first launched back in 2011 it was the first game I bought from there that was when the ocarina of time remake came out
Interesting...Jirard, The Completionist, was given a similar challenge to beat certain parts of _Hyrule Warriors_ during a train ride to Nintendo of America. Unfortunately, he failed the challenge, but we did get to see him dance around in a Tingle suit.
Oh boy am I excited for the remake - the original was my very first handheld video game, and I LOVED it. my hopes are high
5:55
I recognize that ride Russ is on. As I go to that amusement park every year.
Placing Link's Awakening after the Oracle series breaks the story preface provided in the Link's Awakening instruction booklet. I think they just wanted to accentuate the point that Link didn't perish out on the open sea.
Never heard about that train ride thing before, sounds like a hoot and good marketing
This video made me wanna boot up link's awakening to play it a lil before the Remake comes out tomorrow, and i dropped my gameboy during the intro so now i have a save named "AAAAqA" and i got all the heart containers, 927 rupees, i can only use bombs as i have no other form of attacking, i got all the keys to all the dungeons, all the octorocks are now flying ones, i got 80 Seashells, and half the instruments i am losing my shit lmao
Kevin Huiskamp either you’re making this shit up, or you just have crazy luck.
The twin peaks part is pretty cool since I live in Seattle and I was just playing links awakening on switch during a car ride to snoqualmie (where the show was filmed)
This is pretty much the last video I ever would have expected to have a photo taken at Knoebels, and yet there it is!
Ngl that train ride sounds freaking dope sign me up homie
I grew up with this game, love it.
So hyped to play remaster tomorrow after work. Off on Saturday so ya boy gonna play awhile
There was a Wind Fish in the percolator!
What up. I love the art style for this new remaster. It’s so cute.
When are we going to call it?
Doll link
Play link
toy link
pop link
Funko link 😋
But looks nothing like the original art.
@@MilkerMurphy so?
Looks like shit
@@MilkerMurphy and I'm glad it doesn't... I mean sure I've been wanting a LoZ anime for a long time... you know since I got DX _when it came out_
But it's time for a change and this is a completely new art Direction so it's worthy of our devotion and support. And it fits better than you would have thought.
This is the art style that it should have been had the technology been capable of it.
I remember getting a game-breaking glitch in the 7th dungeon as a kid. It really pissed me off.
I didn’t know there was a game breaking glitch , I have beaten this game like 10 times , and never have gotten something like that
You mean the glitch where you need to destroy four pillars in order to continue?
That sucks..
That was Miyamoto's nightmare
@@GabePuratekuta Yup! Something went wrong were one of the steel balls needed to break the pillars in order to progress vanished. I was so pissed I didn't pick up the game until I got the DX color version many years later.
Been replaying Deadly Premonition almost nonstop for weeks since its release on Switch, only to find out this game also had been influenced by Twin Peaks (albeit much less)...I wonder if Ulrira was supposed to be a reference to the phone calls they’d receive from the log lady.
Bruh why did you have to scare us like that with that story about the guy sleeping on the train
Did you know
This game had nudity and gun rumors
*can we get those remade*
What a nice chest!
LA didn't have guns, but it did have a bare-chested hippo posing for an Alligator artist in the Japanese version. Very detailed.
So partial nudity.
@@gamephreak5 lol I remembered that hippo. I was like 10 when I got it for my original Gameboy
@@gamephreak5 also the mermaid's item wasn't a necklace but a bra afaik. Or she accuses link of groping for a scale or something
