A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I'm on my fourth playthrough of Link's Awakening Remake for the Switch (lemmy.world)

This is such a great all-around Zelda game and isn't a huge time commitment either. It's very linear but there's plenty of random mini games and shops to explore. It also is a very special and unique Nintendo game and incorporates an early looking version of Kirby and has chain chomps from Mario. The art direction is "toy style" and it's incredibly polished. It's really one of those remakes where they didn't cut any corners.

I didn't know the story going on and found it very poignant. It made me cry. Whenever I hear the music I tear up a little. It's a gut punch of music that already sounds very somber yet hopeful combined with the characters embracing their obliteration because they know they'll still exist in your memories. Then when it's all said and done you just see Link on a boat and you realize the reason the art style is different in the intro and outro.

I would LOVE to see a feature film in that art style (at the end).
