Revealed during the Nintendo Direct today, the title has received a new lick of paint with 3D graphics.

Blast from the past
Link’s Awakening was first launched on the Game Boy back in 1993. The remake will be launched, 26 years later, in 2019.
Much like Super Mario Maker 2, the announcement helps sure up Nintendo’s first-party release schedule for the year, which had been looking pretty sparse for big blockbuster titles.
