Totally adorable art style, Equipment much more accessible, Welcome modern conveniences and additions
Chamber dungeons are disappointing, Framerate dips when exiting areas
Compared to the endless hours of exploration in Breath of the Wild, Link's Awakening is relatively short. That makes it rather pricey when the original is going for a few quid on the 3DS Virtual Console, or you could just as well play A Link to the Past v...
