Zelda: Link's Awakening Best Black Friday 2019 Deals: Switch Game, Amiibo, Limited Edition

Nintendo had a busy year, dropping a bunch of new entries in its fan-favorite franchises--including Pokemon Sword and Shield, Super Mario Maker 2, and Luigi's Mansion 3. And while it's not a sequel to Breath of the Wild or another mainline Zelda game, Nintendo also released The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, a remake of the classic Game Boy adventure game. With Black Friday 2019 finally upon us, we've rounded up all the available deals to help you get Link's Awakening at its best price this holiday season.

What's fascinating about Link's Awakening on Switch is that it's a full remake of the original, accurately recreating locations, dungeons, and boss battles with a new visual style. This game not only offers a nostalgic revisit for long-time fans, but it's also a stellar way for recent newcomers to experience one of the series' finest entries. The Zelda remake earned an impressive 8/10 in GameSpot's Link's Awakening review.

"If you haven't touched a classic Zelda game in a while, Link's Awakening will almost instantly transport you back to the '90s," wrote Peter Brown. "It's simple, in many ways, but the orchestrated journey still conveys a sense of adventure, and this new version is without question the best way to experience it. And more than anything else, it will put a smile on your face. Remakes are a dime a dozen nowadays and often easy to overlook. Don't make that mistake with Link's Awakening."

Switch game deals

As a first-party Switch game that released just a few months ago, Link's Awakening deals are still few and far between. That said, you can still find the game for little over $10 off its original launch price of $60. The best deal is currently at Ebay, where you can get a brand-new copy with free shipping for $47.

Amiibo deals

To coincide with the release of Link's Awakening on Switch, Nintendo also released a new Amiibo modeled after Link's appearance in-game--and it's downright adorable. This iteration of Link can be a bit hard to find online, but you can currently find it for $16 at both GameStop and Best Buy. For comparison, it's a whopping $35 at Amazon.

Limited Edition deal

While North America saw the release of the Dreamer's Edition of Link's Awakening, international consumers were able to purchase a limited-edition bundle for the game. Featuring a steel case modeled after the original Game Boy along with a 120-page art book, this bundle is a bit flashier than the Dreamer's Edition, and many fans were disappointed it never officially released in North America. However, that doesn't mean you can't import it. Currently, Amazon has the Limited Edition for sale for $134. While this is the international edition of the game, it's region-free and will run on US Switch units.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
