This is such a great all-around Zelda game and isn't a huge time commitment either. It's very linear but there's plenty of random mini games and shops to explore. It also is a very special and unique Nintendo game and incorporates an early looking version of Kirby and has chain chomps from Mario. The art direction is "toy style" and it's incredibly polished. It's really one of those remakes where they didn't cut any corners.

I honestly did not like BDSP's art style. It somewhat had that same "toyish" vibe, but I feel like it didn't suit that game anywhere near as much as it did Link's Awakening, nevermind that it lacked a lot of the visual polish LA HD had. I get that it was meant to be the proportions of the original sprites but in 3D, but if they wanted to remain faithful to the original pixel art, I think an octopath-like visual style could have been an interesting route to take.
