Most people probably won't find it too exciting, but I like it.
Okay, what about Link's Awakening, simply redone with FSA-style graphics, on a DS Cart with the original Four Swords (from the GBA LttP cart) with Wireless Multiplayer?
that Baby guy:
I'd definitely want a new four swords portion. I love those things.

A graphically redone Link's Awakening with a WiFi Four Swords = Insatant Buy

A friend of mine is a big Zelda fan, but never owned a handheld. She also got into the series late, so she's missing a few games. This thread made send her my extra GBC (how I git 2?) and a used copy of Links Awakening (once again: how I git 2?). Shoulda checked the battery... stupid dead battery crap.
I have to say I love the game, but the story was pretty final, and it was already colorized. Even Nintendo may have an issue with a second rema...no they wouldn't nevermind me.

Well Unclebob got his wish.
Sorry for bringing up such an old thread but I wanted to see if there was an existing one before creating a new one, and this one is as good as any I suppose.

I'll preface this by saying that I've never played classic Link's Awakening. The remake is my first experience with the game.
Given how much praise I've seen for it here and elsewhere I assumed it was going to be a great time. I'm a few hours in and I am thus far very disappointed. I suppose the biggest issue I have is summed up in a single word...."Why?"
I don't know if I've missed something huge, but I have no idea why I'm doing what I'm doing. Why didn't I just roll back over in bed when I woke up? Why have I decided to embark on this epic quest? Why am I mercilessly striking down castle guards who are just doing their jobs, and stealing golden leaves for some person I've never met and doesn't explain why he should have them over their current owners?
The gameplay itself seems fine, but my questions just pull me out of it every time. Especially the above mentioned example of the castle. Given that I haven't been told who's in this castle and if they are deserving of some punishment I assumed that portion of the game was going to be a stealth section, (similar to getting to Zelda in OoT). Then one of them sees me and just starts attacking me. I initially didn't want to fight back because this is just some guy doing his 9-5 job, and I am the one who is trespassing. Yeah I know I'm overthinking this but that's just how I tick. I need a reason to do something, especially if that something involves killing people and stealing their stuff.
I'm very much hoping that there'll be some huge story dump at some time to give me a reason to care. But as things are currently I'm finding it very hard to keep playing it because I'm just not invested.
