This game is getting a much needed facelift and the art style suits the game perfectly.
There are only 3 types of people who disagree 1) Console warriors who would be shitting on it anyway 2) Kids who just got into the series with BotW and don't know what a top down Zelda is 3) People with poor taste
Topdownfag here, Link's Awakening is one of my most favourite games of all time and I'm boycotting it because of the art style.
Jack Fisher
So now its cool to like duplo blocks wrapped in cellophane I guess
Jack Bennett
I’m boycotting you because you are a faggot
Ryder Davis
Cool, nobody here gives a fuck though. I ain't buying it.
Wyatt Young
You don't exist though
Logan Hill
I loved Link's Awakening and I've yet to see anything that makes me want to buy it. It just looks like the same exact game with a different art style, and I don't even think the new look itself even looks bad.
Cameron Hughes
Didn't play the original, don't own a switch so I'm not gonna buy it, but I think it looks fine. It looks comfy and fun. Stop taking everything so seriously, manchild faggots.
Adrian Thompson
I’m not buying it because I’m not retarded
David Miller
You know that game everyone liked for years? Well it was SHIT!
Grayson Hughes
artstyle is based, i don't like links face though. but i'll survive
Tyler Morgan
Isn't great that when these threads finally stop someone has to make one of these to try and start shit again? Neck yourself.
>idiots who assume just because I think it looks like awful that I'd rather have some grimdark nonsense.
I don't dislike it because its "cute" or " kiddie", I dislike it because its off putting. I think Windwaker and Minish Cap look unique and timeless. The LA remake looks like the kind of lazy trite a Zelda knockoff would go for.
Carter James
>facelift it looks worse than the original though?
Charles Evans
>having to buy the second remake because he doesn't own the first remake
I wish the Mario enemies didn't look like they were just copy/pasted in from NSMB
Levi Jackson
You can redo an artsyle without making everything chibi-lite user. I like some of the environments but others are just wrong and not every character in the game should fit the same style to begin with. Zelda has always had room for both lighthearted cute stuff and dark and foreboding elements.
So I will probably just play the original if I dont like it as they show more.
Isaiah Taylor
It looks like garbage, the only one with poor taste is you.
Matthew Ramirez
After playing LA DX, I think why they're going with that color choice is to make all the underground sections feel universal, which is something I don't like but I can understand why. Rewatching the remake footage, I've grown to appreciate the art direction they're going with it. LA is an inherently silly game with a subtletly """dark""" undertone slowly progressing as you go on to wake the wind fish, but never to the point where it's overtly depressing. The photographs, all the mario enemies, the songs you get from the Sunfish and Not-Wart, there are a number of lighthearted moments in the game that feels childlike but not in a condescending way. In this context, I do appreciate the toy-like aesthetic of the game, I just hope you can tone down the blur in the borders because it's kinda obnoxious.
Though this image does highlight a big concern I do have with the remake given the footage I've seen and it is the grid based movement. Obviously, the original was also grid-based but it never really felt like it. There were a fuckton of instances that I could moonwalk as link just because I could, and I'm not sure how to elaborate on this. It even made platforming fun, using roc's feather was so fun because it never felt like you had a predetermined arc and thus, you could perform some sick maneuvers like carrying the momentum from dashing with the pegasus boots into a jump. However, the movement in the remake looks strictly grid-based with only 8 directions, and jumps look like they have predetermined arcs. That wouldn't be so much of an issue if it weren't for the fact that LA's overworld fucking SUCKS to backtrack in, so restricting movement like this seems unwarranted and even backwards. However, I'll reserve my judgement until I see more, I'm not excited nor disappointed: just indifferent.
Caleb Murphy
Link's Awakening is probably the best Zelda game though
Luke Smith
I'm so tired of people making believe they like this game just to get outraged over the remake. It's a 7/10.

>Top >Goombas have a unique sprite and art style change for a different series >Bottom >Looks like they ripped a model from NSMB
Blake Ross
Straight up no. Inventory management is a fucking bitch and a half because of all the pausing you have to do to configure your A and B button to certain items, which got especially bad by endgame, as well as a shitty overworld and mediocre dungeons, with Eagle Tower being the good exception. The game definitely has charm, but being on a gameboy did restrict it from being a more smoother experience so I can see why they'd remake it.
Jayden Baker
That's totally fair.
Sorta how I feel. I think they toyetic style looks charming. It's a different charm from the nostalgic pixel style of the original, but a charm nonetheless. desu they already did a straight port on the 3DS, so a remake with a modern artstyle is a good way to bring topdown/Gameboy Zelda to the kids imo
Zachary Mitchell
The game was made by A-Team golden age Nintendo and was nearly perfect aside from the shitty Gameboy tech limitations. The limited buttons and screenspace hurt it a lot even though the artwork and area design were perfect.
Carson Perez
I think I could deal with everything else shown in the trailer, but this one screen is just such an unacceptable fucking disaster \. I don't know how high my expectations are for this remake,
Adrian Lee
I just don't like Link's face in this remake. Still going to play it
Sebastian Cooper
It's a trap for Zoomers who'll be tricked into thinking it's a new game. If the devs don't reveal any bonuses for people who've actually beaten the thing (Including the LADX ones) then feel free to ignore it.
Sebastian Robinson
So why can't you cope with this board having haters? Why use a board you hate how the people act on it?
>Everyone outside Yea Forums loves it As if that's a valid argument for the game. people outside Yea Forums like EA games you fucking dipshit, we just have occasional retards and shills, does that make EA games good? Link's awakening is ok as far as zelda games go, but you figure they'd do more with it after all this time than just "3d grid world" LA deserves a proper remake and this isn't it, its a cash grab.
Jack Mitchell
if they made a remake that changed up level design or mechanics there would be a difference vocal minority complaining.
Eli White
"If you don't like it, you didn't play it!" Why is this the Nintendies' excuse every time? Do they just not get that it's possible to disagree with something while still playing the original or liking other games in the series?
Ryan Bennett
what's wrong with it?
Charles Wood
Imagine being this overly picky
Charles Watson
I'm willing to bet you have more free time than you know what to do with
Sebastian Brown
That's not a boycott, that's just not buying. You don't buy things every day.
Nicholas Evans
thats a pretty safe bet considering you are on Yea Forums
Liam Sanchez
I'll suck your cock for a cash prize faggot
Logan Flores
Cmon. At least they could try to match the goombas artstyle with everything else
Isaiah Butler
that is such a minor issue man
Nathan Campbell
this is by far a best[spoiler/] Zelda game
Anthony Morris
You forgot one: 4) People who don't want to pay full price for a lazy remake. It would have been fine at 20 dollars.
Hunter Nguyen
I can't wait for people to defend the Thwomps getting shitcanned in favor of their sterilized modern designs with Thwimps replacing the small ones.
Name one remake that drastically changed the game that people bashed for being different?
Anthony Rodriguez
That's fine, you don't have to get it. The original is still there for you to play, the remake takes absolutely nothing away from it.
Oliver Cook
It got a facelift once already. What it needs is new content to justify a high price tag or to be cheap.
Nathan Green
This didn't need a remake.
Robert Jackson
>Shadow of the Colossus PS4 revealed >Snoyfags LOVE it - say it's extremely faithful and another incredible exclusive
>Link'a Awakening Switch revealed >"WTF THIS IS SHIT IT'S AN EXACT REMAKE OF THE GAME THIS IS SHIT FUCK NINTENDO IT'S FULL PRICE (EVEN THOUGH WE DONT KNOW THE PRICE) BUT IT'S FULL PRICE I SUCK DICKS"
"Why would I play a game that doesn't have good graphics on a tiny screen when I can play the HD version?"
Exact words from my gf regarding this, couldn't really argue with her if she finds the gameboy graphics to suck balls
Eli Watson
Get a better gf with taste and an active imagination.
Wyatt Long
>Snoyfags LOVE it I think you and I were on different Yea Forums's for that reveal, friend
Jackson Adams
Boycotting is dumb. It will be successful with or without you. I am sad that a lot of people will experience the game for the first time with this art style which is such a poor choice. LA was a perfect gb game
Andrew Cooper
Dump her
Adrian Johnson
okay... It's easily one of the worst games I ever played along with Ocarina of Time.
Why didn't they remake true Zelda glory with Oracle of Ages/Seasons
Holy fuck I loved Oracle of Seasons.
Henry Turner
>okay... GOD I FUCKING HATE ELLIPSES FAGS STOP WITH THE FUCKING ELLIPSES FUCKING EDGELORDS SHITTING UP MY SHITTY BOARD AAAAAA
Anthony Rodriguez
...buddy just calm...down will...ya
Tyler Gomez
yikes...calm down senpai...desu, this is real cringe right here...
Jacob Diaz
>3) People with poor taste
>Everyone outside Yea Forums loves it
They also love Funko Pop.
Isaiah Price
Modern Nintendo fans might get too confused if they look different.
