The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening remake coming to Switch this year

A remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening was announced for Switch during the Nintendo Direct presentation.

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening was originally released for Game Boy 25 years ago. Really? We are officially old.

Link's Awakening took place after the events in A Link to the Past, and found our shipwrecked on Koholint Island. You will return here in this "modern re-imagining" of the original.

Further details on the game were not provided, other than the trailer and release date.

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening releases exclusively on Nintendo Switch in 2019.
