Plot The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening

In Link’s Awakening, you control Link, who has washed up on the mysterious Koholint Island after a shipwreck.

Dream Theme: The story is centered around dreams, and the island may be a dream itself, making the game feel different from other Zelda games. Remake Art Style: The 2019 remake features a charming, toy-like art style that makes the game look like a miniature world.
