Nintendo is remaking Game Boy classic The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for the Switch, the company announced during last night's Direct broadcast. And it looks ruddy lovely, too.
Originally released in 1993, Link's Awakening is receiving a complete visual makeover for Ninty's hybrid console, combining the original top-down perspective with claymation-style 3D character models. The story seems to be keeping to the source material, with the pointy-eared protagonist shipwrecked on Koholint Island following a storm.
Link's Awakening is notable for making the bold choice to eschew a number of series staples, including the Master Sword, Zelda, and Ganon. The game was re-released for the Game Boy Colour in 1998.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is coming to the Switch in 2019. Check out a trailer below to see how it's shaping up.
