They're from some strategy guide. As good as Terada's art is, it's pretty ridiculous to think that Nintendo would ever reference somebody they never even worked with directly. Link's Awakening's artwork always had a cheerful, colourful, very cutesy kids anime art style.

Closest it ever got is this random dungeon artwork with a generic grey dungeon. Plus there's the whole puppet advertising. The whole idea that Link's Awakening was this gloomy, serious game all the time comes primarily from people romanticising the direction the game goes in certain moments and the melancholy from the ending and the direction of the plot after the twist.

That being said going from the beautiful animated cutscene that's everything I ever wanted in a Zelda art style right into the plastic diorama look was a real slap in the face. I'd much rather have had a reimagining than a 1:1 remake based on the in-game graphics.

Like anything it depends on circumstances of series, genre, etc. but graphics and art style definitely do matter a lot. Take Wind Waker versus Twilight Princess. Two polar opposite styles and feelings of what they convey. TP would not have worked at all with WW's cel-shading. Just like this remake, I'm not sure why making everyone look like toys is supposed to fit the dream world theme.

They kept the characters and buildings at the same proportions as in the original game. You're the one making the assumption that they look like cheap toys.
Given the size of the Game Boy screen, they couldn't have gone with realistic proportions.
What other way do you think they could have made it look like? Low poly? pixel art? Give them modern proportions? How to make it look better and keep it as close to the original as possible?

It's a remake, they could have done whatever they want. It didn't have to be constrained by the Game Boy's original style. FF7 Remake certainly isn't. But if the core elements are there it will still be a good game. Making everything look like plastic is just bizarre.

Hand drawn for me would've been the best, at least for me but then that could end up looking worse. The current look, to me, seems more suited for an Earthbound remake than Links Awakening, but I guess they needed a surreal look for the setting... It probably would've looked much better if the glossiness was toned down.

Dunno the exact year but the 3DS port. My first Zelda games were the Oracle games and I didn't know that LA was a thing for a long time, and when I did I couldn't find a copy in any local game stores. So I don't have the same attachment to it that a lot of people would. I mostly think the remake's art style sucks and is the worst option they could have picked and I don't want them touching the Oracle games with it with a ten foot pole. Is this important to you?
