Theory: The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Remake Was Definitely Meant To Be A 3DS Game, And Reworked For Switch

[Neiteio]

Who knows how it started, but the final result is spectacular! The bright toy-like aesthetic evokes the childlike wonder of the dream setting — and, in a poetic sense, our own childhood. :-)

I think it looks great. Zelda games are allowed to experiment with art styles.

 

[Bhonar]

the character art style sucks ass

the environment art style I'm okay with

 

[Nickgia]

Nah.
But even if it was, I'm glad it's not another 3DS game.

You're making a lot of assumptions here...

 

[BorkBork]

Love it. Style seems aesthetically and thematically appropriate to me. I can see the care that's put into it just from the short trailer. They know what they're doing and that it's important.

It's been a while since you saw a 3DS game, I think.

The art-style is fantastic.

 

[KarmaCow]

I think you need to look a LBW again, it's a significant step up from that even if the artstyle is off putting.

 

[Dekuman]

There's nothing that looks like 3DS. Actually it looks like an unreal engine game.

The trying to do DoF effect would melt the 3DS

I like the 3D Dot Heroes aesthetic.

Anybody who played the original know that .

It's not a theory when the reason is "Because it doesn't look good"
