You may know Link from 'The Legend of Zelda' and Hyrule but in amongst the typical games of our hero saving Zelda and fighting monsters is a much more unusual game that was only the fourth Zelda game produced. It is called 'Link's Awakening' and is a very inventive and different take on the Zelda universe even when compared to all the various iterations there have been. I actually wish that there were more Zelda games like this since there could be more adventures outside of the typical medieval fantasy context of the other games.
WHAT THIS BLOG IS ABOUT ... Here are some of the amazing and surprising things I have found by researching authors and artists that have interested me. From many time periods and genres, they are usually obscure works by well known writers and artists, or more obscure but great works by little known masters of their craft. I hope you enjoy reading about them, feel free to comment on anything, I may or may not reply!

LINK'S AWAKENING ...
The game is actually quite silly and has tongue in cheek references to other Nintendo and Zelda games. 'Link's Awakening' was actually remade by Nintendo into a full color and fully updated game which even more surprisingly it looks just as good as the original, if not better!
Here's a link to the remake on Nintendo's website where you can buy the game.
