This is of course the greatest Zelda on handheld devices.

It started equipment combinations that modified items and extended features and capabilities to one another.

Koholint Island:

Color Dungeon(Link's Awakening DX), Animal Village, Camera Shop, Crazy Tracy's Health Spa, Cemetery, Dream Shrine, East of the Bay, Tail Cave, Fishing Pond, Goponga Swamp, Bottle Grotto, House by the Bay, Kanalet Castle, Koholint Prairie, Mabe Village, Manbo's Pond, Martha's Bay, Moblin Cave, Mount Tamaranch, Mysterious Woods, Key Cavern, Pothole Field, Raft Shop, Rapids Ride, Richard's Villa, Sale's House O' Bananas, Seashell Mansion, Signpost Maze, South of the Village, Southern Face Shrine, Catfish's Maw, Spectacle Rock, Tabahl Wasteland, Tal Tal Heights, Tal Tal Mountain Range, Turtle Rock, Eagle's Tower, Town Tool Shop, Angler's Tunnel, Toronbo Shores, Ukuku Prairie, Witch's Hut, Yarna Desert, and Wind Fish's Egg.

Mysterious Woods throws the prospect of the environment being tied to a character at the player.

It was just difficult and that fruit was dangling there..

you mean the bomb arrows and that's literally it

i can just randomly name locations from zelda games too. this isn't exclusive to link's awakening

you mean that senseless puzzle with the raccoon? not sure what edge that specific thing gives la over other zeldas

my point is that if this game is so good, you wouldn't want to skip it.

no. it's not. you literally just explained why it isn't original. it's just a bunch of boss fights from previous zeldas all in one

Which is original..
>my point is that if this game is so good, you wouldn't want to skip it.
Unless it's too difficult and you're trying to get to the end of a good game...
>you mean that senseless puzzle with the raccoon? not sure what edge that specific thing gives la over other zeldas
If you're fascinated by the Zelda and its execution then toying with the idea of the environment and characters being linked is intriguing.
>i can just randomly name locations from zelda games too. this isn't exclusive to link's awakening
But you really can't, I mean you can go ahead and chart them, but behind those words are feelings and experiences that aren't easily conveyed, sorry.
>you mean the bomb arrows and that's literally it
There's also a long jump, and then there's several neat things if they don't create a brand new function but are just good combos.

>>5471520
No really, it lures you in under the pretext that you shipwrecked on an island. Then it slowly allows for you to put everything together. Then there's the whole is Link really unconscious? Where is the island after the game ends? Is that a metaphor for it being a game in the first place?
