I’m super excited for the upcoming Zelda Link’s
Awakening game for the Switch that I decided to do a wish list for what I would
like to see from this remake. I limited
myself to only 5 wishes (though I had many) and in no particular order.
First off I would like Nintendo to bring back physical
manuals. I grew up with manuals in games,
and they would usually be the first thing I would look at when I needed help
with the game (either with controls or when I was lost). They also serve as art pieces that nicely complement
a complete in box game. Next I would
like to see the return of the gold cartridge.
Now that Nintendo is using game cartridges again, it would be nice to
make all Zelda cartridges gold just like past classics such as Ocarina of Time,
and the original NES games.
Next I would like game cases to come with a reversible
cover. The front would display the
current game and when you reverse it, it would have the classic golden bronze
cover with red Zelda font, and a sword and shield. Next I would like the game to include
something I call “retro mode” where you could play the Switch version using a
green filter, making your game screen resemble an original Game Boy DMG-01. That would be old school meets new school. And finally I would like Nintendo to release
an amiibo of Link.
