I actually never played this game back in the day as I
never owned a Game Boy. So I can honestly say I don't have any rose colored
glasses when it comes to this. I am however a big Nintendo and Zelda fan so
there is that. But anyway, let's begin. For the few people who may not know,
this is a remake of the 1993 Game Boy game. It was the first Zelda hand held
game and takes place right after the SNES game, A Link to the Past.
Of course it has been completely overhauled for the
Switch version. Graphics, button mapping, and music have all been updated. Also
a new create a dungeon feature has been added. This is pretty cool because you
can share dungeons using Amiibo.
So what's the deal with the Dreamer's edition? Well it
includes a full color art book with sketches from the game. Is it worth the
extra $10 MSRP? Completely. It's awesome and fun to peruse. And makes a great
coffee table book.
My second gripe is with the price of the game. It's MSRP
is $59. Or $69 if you buy the Dreamer Edition. But is it really a sixty dollar
game? In my opinion not really. I mean Breathe of the Wild was sixty and in the
first week I you haven't even begun playing yet! After 2 solid days of this game.
Beat it. Easily. I don't know. In my opinion I feel Nintendo didn't give us
enough to warrant the price tag. It's more $40 content and not $60. And yes I
know this won't be a popular opinion. But it is my thoughts about it.
