  1. Today in Link's Awakening I have entered the Eagle's Tower! Really loving this dungeon so far - it's another step up in the complexity of navigating the space - multiple floors to move up and down between.

  2. CW: Spoilers: Link's Awakening

    Continuing my #LinksAwakening playthrough:

    I need to cross a big pit. So, logically, I move a statue in the village to enter a secret cave: a dedicated tomb for the skeletal remains of the village's prize rooster. I then resurrect said rooster by playing "have you ever seen a penguin come to tea", a black necromantic spell I learnt from a frog, so that I can use the rooster to fly over the pit. Any questions?

    This game is nuts 😂

  3. Woohoo! I have emerged triumphant from the Catfish's Maw. A really twisty dungeon - I feel like I went through every room four or five times before managing to wrest its secrets out of it.

    Beat the boss with half a heart left, which was pretty nerve-wracking.

    And is the Zelda hookshot not one of the most fun video game items of all time?

  4. I've been playing Link's Awakening DX (that's the Gameboy Color version) over the last few weeks. I played a little as a child but got stuck and couldn't figure out how to progress.

    I'm about halfway through and finding the difficulty of the current dungeon (Catfish's Maw) hard work. So! I have gone back and hunted for secrets and levelled up my equipment.

    Very satisfying. Now to venture once more below the waves...

  5. Started playing through the GameBoy Colour version of #LinksAwakening with my son this week and we're having fun 😊. I only played a little of this when I was younger.

    That old satisfying Zelda formula as the game keeps giving you new abilities that open things up, whilst constantly teasing with all things you still can't reach and will need to backtrack for. And the art is so beautiful and technically impressive. 🥰

  7. CW: Déroulez pour voir à quel point j'étais obsédé par Zelda étant gamin.

    J'ai remis la main sur ce dessin que j'ai fait enfant, il y a presque trente ans. J'étais fan absolu de Link's awakening depuis qu'on me l'avait offert, et cette passion a duré de longues années (et dure encore).
    Une chose me chagrinait toutefois, c'était la topographie de l'île et les différences entre les vues d'artistes et son rendu dans le jeu. Alors j'ai pris mes crayons et j'ai modifié la carte.

  8. Going from Link's Awakening to just starting Oracle of Seasons I can immediately feel how much more concise Link's Awakening is in its overworld and dungeon layout. Every section of the game has a purpose whereas with Oracle of Seasons I get the sense that a lot of the sections of the map are just for setdressing or to make the trek longer. It could be that the Oracle games were developed with Ocarina of Time as inspiration, so maybe the devs thought big empty spaces = epic. Maybe I'm just not far enough in the game to have realized that each section does indeed have a purpose. No spoilers, please!! ​:pra:​

    The rooms in the dungeons are a lot bigger and the camera can scroll, but with not a lot filling these rooms up. Like they'll have like 5 enemies in a room spread out and I feel like the same thing could have been accomplished by simply making the room smaller and positioning the enemies closer together.

  9. It was a quiet week for me on the fediverse, just boosting a couple gems and sharing a bit about a death in our family.

    Post by @[email protected] View on Mastodon

    Tonet’s mother died early Sunday morning, and Monday morning she began the flights back to Eastern Samar in the Philippines to be with her family and mourn. Celestine stayed with me, and it has been an exhausting week for all the reasons in that constellation of grief, parenting, working, and the focuses that are demanded by responsibilities. I’m on my way to pick up Celestine from her school and am looking forward to a bit of weekend breathing room before two more weeks of the same.

    The MacDonald Bridge is closed all weekend, so instead of our typical grocery shopping I took Celestine to Bayer’s Lake. While there I found another adaptation of Anne of Green Gables, Anne Arrives, at a thrift shop. I’ve been reading any adaptation of the book I encounter and this will be next. We later stopped at the library where my sister was working and I took out the first volume of She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat.

  10. Adventures in Super Ultrawide: Link's Awakening DX HD 1.5.0 Beta 16 running full screen is *insane*, being able to see the entire world moving and alive all at once like this. WOW.

    Can you find where Link is in this screenshot?

  11. Back when #OcarinaOfTime was about to release (and when it was in development), I recall it was referred to as #Zelda4 by the video games magazine I read. #LinksAwakening wasn't counted, as it was perceived to be a spin-off title, similar to Super Mario Land.

    I was curious about what the consensus is in 2025, but it turns out search engines just return Four Swords Adventures when searching for "Zelda 4".

    When asked a question, Google's AI claims that #ALttP (#Zelda 3) is the fourth game.

  12. Just finished playing Link's Awakening (remake) on Hero mode! I think I even unlocked the "true" ending.

    Also got all the awards for the more difficult mini game (Rapids Race).

    I am very proud of myself—especially about the Rapids Race.

    And I'm thankful my boyfriend suggested I try Hero mode after I finished on normal mode. This was only my second time playing a game like this. I thought I wasn't ready for the hard stuff!

  13. Another #OffTheBacklog #SuperMarioRPG #Switch I never played jRPGs as a child. Even without nostalgia I enjoyed the refreshingly short 20 hrs to max level my entire party & get to credits. This's a great introductory jRPG & deserving of its beloved status. There's a TON to do after the credits but I'll be moving on. You can toggle retro/updated soundtrack but don't expect anything like the orchestral #LinksAwakening remake I'm so bad at isometric platforming #gamer #gaymer #jrpg #rpg #backlog

  14. I was bored and I made this. It could be better.

    Everything is made with #inkscape except the logo 'The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening'.
