A Look Back At Link's Awakening
With our month of celebrating the Zelda series, we wanted to take the opportunity to look back at one of the best entries. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, the franchise's first handheld title, is remembered fondly by many... and then there's Game Informer's Dan Ryckert. Watch the video to see highlights (and plenty of spoilers) from the game while Ben Hanson and Jeff Cork try their best to convince Dan Ryckert of the error of his ways. The conversation shifts from a debate between the superiority of Link to the Past or Link's Awakening to an overall discussion of the power of nostalgia within the Zelda series.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
