The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: Dreamer Edition

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: Dreamer Edition for the Nintendo Switch released on September 20, 2019.  The Dreamer Edition includes the game and an art book.  At the time I wasn't the biggest Link’s Awakening fan, nevertheless I was still excited to get this game because of the Nintendo Direct release trailer; which featured an anime video of Link being shipwrecked.  I bought the special edition the day it released and also the lone Link amiibo as well.

Flash forward years later, and I have played the game already and my opinion of the game has changed dramatically.  Initially I really hated the game because the maze like dungeons confused me a lot.  I can’t change my first impressions, however the real value of this game is the re-play.  And it’s in the re-play that I have fallen in love with this game.  Once you know what to do, and where to go you achieve a sort of buzz from the flow of the game.  Despite the updated graphics and console, the game still plays exactly the same as the original release; making this a bonafide timeless classic.  Link’s Awakening is now my favourite 2D Zelda game.

Club Monaco Heritage Crest Sweatshirt

Back in the 90’s Club Monaco was a very popular brand to wear in Canada.  It was similar in style to J. Crew, The Gap (90’s) and Calvin Klein; with it specializing in basic wear such as khakis and plain white shirts.  However what was most popular from Club Monaco was their sweatshirt sweater with their logo crest.  Club Monaco has now brought back this iconic sweater and is calling it the “Heritage Crest Sweatshirt.”

Fortunately I still own my “old” sweater which is now considered vintage.  And while it has seen better days, I still use it during the chilly seasons.  But like I said, Club Monaco has re-released this iconic sweater so I had to buy it in grey.  The only differences that I now see is that it’s made in India (not Canada unfortunately), the logo crest is slightly different, and the sizing is very slim.  As for the sizing, that’s not a big deal because Club Monaco has catered to smaller sizes for years now.  Other than that this is a wonderful sweatshirt sweater that makes 90’s style a forever classic.  (I recommend pairing it with khakis)
