This game is a straight-up banger. It has so much charm and it's ridiculous what they were able to do with just a Game Boy. Fuck OoT. Fuck LttP. I will live forever in the dream of a Whale.

They fucked up some of the graphics, not knowing that things like the bushes used graphical tricks in the original.

That's a fix. Throwing the pot at the door doesn't make any sense. It's the biggest flaw in the original game.

oh wow, i always assumed they just colorized the game, but you can tell the trees look better and there's even more details like grass around the road. didnt know it was that high effort

Eh, nah those are masterpieces as well, but yeah Link's Awakening is ludo of the highest caliber as well.
I pity those who didn't enjoy the game back in the 90s.

Black and white original is better because it harnesses the imagination more like a book does. colour makes it a weird little ugly game. the sprite work stands in 4 shades of grey! link's hat is the cutest it has been in the entire zelda series. Fantastic game with an awesome gated exploration thing like metroidvania and a great sense of mystery and adventure. Only OoT is better

the biggest flaw in the original game is throwing a ball onto a fence in eagles tower and you cant pick it up from either side anymore, and exiting the dungeon doesnt reset it.

The only colorization totally worth it is Donkey Kong Land III, because these graphics were MEANT to be seen in color and having them GB-shrunk was a weird money experiment, shame we never got them properly. Other than than, every GB/GBC-cross-compatible game had their potential compromised, either go big or go home. That's why Oracles looks 1000% better than LADX, you can tell the palettes and animations take advantage of GBC hardware.

NTA ,but the problem I see is that the graphics don't blend in as well. The reddish-brown dirt sticks out too much with how abrupt it is, and the tiling is more obvious in color.

The pot-door thing is fine, but it sucks that they ruined the eyes puzzle. Can't trust players to engage their brain even the smallest amount anymore.
