Game Information

Development

Link's Awakening for Nintendo Switch was officially announced during a Nintendo Direct on February 13, 2019.[1] Its release date was announced during E3 2019.[2]

Eiji Aonuma, producer of The Legend of Zelda series, decided to remake Link's Awakening as he considers the original game hard to get many years after its release.[3] The miniature diorama-like art style was chosen as the original game had a tilt-shift perspective,[4] which is commonly used in miniature faking.

Limited Editions

In North America and Japan, the Dreamer Edition (called Artbook Set in Japan) included a copy of the game plus a 120 page artbook.[5] The limited edition, released in PAL regions, included the game, a steelbook case, and the artbook.[6]
