Positive message

The game takes up the classic released in 1993 and adapts it with the current graphics. The game beaded to the children to discover a game that had been hugely successful when it was released. It also allows nostalgics to rediscover their childhood.

Principle of the game

Relive the classic adventure released in 1993. You play as Link, who tries to unravel the mysteries of the island of Koholint, to which he arrived in a stormy sequel. Gather the various instruments to wake up the sleeping whale and get ready for a new adventure redefined by today’s graphics.

Local game modes

There is the only mode used to browse the story, but there is also another mode that can be played.

There is a mode that can be created from those you visited earlier in the game. In order to unlock this, you have to complete the quest given by Dampé in his hut. This part of the game is fun for people who are rather creative and looking to encounter more difficulties in the game. By purchasing amiibo, you can unlock more options for dungeon fashion and it is also usable in story mode.

Online gaming modes

There is no online game mode, but it is possible to share the dungeons that were made by the amiibos.

Conclusion

This game breathes new life into the classic. It retains its former splendour and breathes new life into it to allow all new players to fully enjoy this adventure. I recommend it to anyone who wants to relive the classic or introduce it to their children.
