Zelda: Link’s Awakening gets a story trailer ahead of Friday’s release

Game set to launch alongside the new Switch Lite handheld

Nintendo has released a new story trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening.

The upcoming release is a remake of 1993’s top-down action-adventure Game Boy title – in which Link must collect magical instruments and awaken the Wind Fish to escape a mysterious island – reimagined with a charming new art style.

The first The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening review was recently published in Japanese magazine Famitsu, which awarded the game a 35/40 score.

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening release date is September 20, 2019. It’s currently available to pre-order via Amazon, Game and Best Buy, among other retailers.

Nintendo Switch Lite is also set for release on September 20.

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening for Nintendo Switch is possibly Nintendo‘s cutest adventure – and it threatens to use its charm offensive to push players towards Switch Lite, the redesigned console which releases on the same day,” VGC wrote in a recent The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening preview.

We were able to play a new build of the game and adventure through a previously unseen area, its third dungeon. Check out ten minutes of our gameplay session on VGC’s recently launched YouTube channel.
