No matter how cool they may seem, it’s always hard to get excited about fan-made Zelda games. Their creators are alwaysfaking their deathsor pulling some other wacky stunt to back out of their projects.
This 3D remake ofLink’s Awakeningmay be different. First we got a look at thegame’s overworld, and just a short time later we get screenshots ofthe game in action. At this rate, a playable demo is only a matter of time, and as I learned from being a part of theMushroom Kingdom Fusionteam, playability can quickly lead to project getting the help it needs to actually get finished.
I’ve wanted a new 3D cel-shaded Zelda game since I finishedThe Wind Waker, so despite looking a little rough in spots, this game has me pretty excited. Disgruntled, jealous Zelda-fans are sure to attack the game’s team for creating something that isn’t up to Nintendo standards, but if you ask me, such criticisms are poppycock. Creating a game with your own time and money, with absolutely no potential for personal profit, is the act of a true artist, and is something to be commended.
Carry on, Jerrel Dulay! I really hope you don’t die before this game is finished.
