If you’ve played The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening remake on Switch and found yourself longing to experience something simple contact more authentic than the original, then this unofficial PC port might be just what you’re looking for.
Available for download via itching.io, Link’s Awakening DX HD takes the Game Boy Color version of the title and amps it up considerably, adding widescreen support, HD visuals and 120fps scrolling.
And not only that, but as pointed out by Digital Foundry’s John Linnemanyou can also zoom out to get a full view of Koholint Island, with every NPC and enemy visible and active exactly as you’d expect. Scream.
If you need further convincing, just watch the gameplay video at the top of the article at the highest possible quality setting; the magic really starts at about 25 seconds.
Of course, it’s probably only a matter of time before Nintendo themselves catch wind of this project, so if you’re interested in trying it out and own a Windows-based PC, then you’ll want to jump on it while it still can.
