The critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening for the Game Boy is being remade by fans using assets from the Nintendo 64 hit The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Online gaming publication Siliconera reports that the recreation features a storyline based on the original game and the manga series and also includes some unique content. You can check out the ambitious project by the two-man team in the video, below.
IGN struck gold and got to unbox and take a closer look at the Link figure from high-end collectible manufacturer – First 4 Figures. The collectible is modelled after Link from Zelda: Breath Of The Wild. Take a look below:
The IGN presenter shows a quick glimpse of the pamphlet you get inside and the imagery suggests that there will be two more figures on their way. The 10″ tall, PVC Link figure is slated for a March release to coincide with Zelda: Breath Of The Wild on Nintendo Switch and Wii U setting you back $89.99.
Akin to how Mario’s last name is the same as his first, Link’s full name is “Link Link.” That’s according to series creator Shigeru Miyamoto, who mentions how Link isn’t human as a reason to justify the unconventional last name. You can check out his explanation in the video interview below. Link stars in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which is scheduled to launch on March 3 for both Nintendo Switch and Wii U.
Reggie Fils-Aime recently appeared on CBS This Morning to talk about the new Nintendo Switch console. During a brief discussion between the Nintendo of America president and co-anchor Gayle King, Fils-Aime was asked to share whether he thinks Link from The Legend of Zelda series is “hot.” He gave an affirmative answer and went on to mention how Nintendo games tend to cater to girls.
King: “Do you find that more girls are playing? And I ask this question because I’ve heard from very reliable sources about Link – the character Link – that Link is hot… Is Link hot to you?”
Fils-Aime: “Link is hot. I gotta say Link is hot. But, yeah, more girls are playing video games and we pride ourselves that we’ve been able to lead that charge – with the Wii, with the DS.”
