Performance problems in docked mode are noticeable, Faithfulness of remake can make certain parts predictable
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is an excellent remake of an already enamoured classic, translating its unorthodox approach to a traditional Zelda outing into the modern day with absolute ease. Even after two decades and change, it still plays like...
