Link's Awakening Epic Ending

SPOILER

After all is said and done, Link collects eight musical instruments then kills the big evil and then...

Link's Awakening DX - Ending


...then link dies at sea. That is the "perfect ending" which is obtained by not dying once during the whole game. However, the difference between this and the other is only the last bit with the face of the female.

Yes, after all that hard work, the island is make-believe (which you are told several times by each boss monster) and it turns out that link was just sleeping next to a giant flying wale.

Link's Awakening Music

For 8-bit music, this game has some that is both painful and awesome. For the purpose of this blog only the awesome music will be shared. Most of this is included with the songs that Link learns to play on his ocarina, a later staple of the series, which he learns from those about the island.

There are three, of these songs. One is taught by a girl who sings in the main village and is the person who found Link laying on the beach. Another is taught by a singing fish, which is my favorite of the three. The last is taught by some frogs and allows to resurrect things with the very tune.

I am going to post those songs, here, in order of least amusing first. That meaning they are not in order you obtain them in game and the one which is annoying, at least its "sung" counterpart.

Link's Awakening [DX]

Running with an idea I am working about creating multiple posts over several days about a similar, if not the same, subject we are going to look at Link's Awakening [DX] for the gameboy and/or gameboy color. The game starts with Link on a ship in the middle of the ocean during a nasty storm. The ship is struck by lightning and then Link washes ashore on a random island only to be dragged off by some chick to a nearby town.

There, in the town, people go through his things and read the name on Link's underwear. Tell him he dropped his shield and then say a sword might be chilling at the beach cause people were to lazy or stupid to pick it up along with the shield. From this point on Link is talked to by a magic owl, at random times, into collecting random instruments that will wake up the Wind-fish.

Enough of the story, lets open this up with a bit of Nintendo tomfoolery. Link's Awakening and Link's Awakening DX are two separate games that are no different then a paint job, and people bought them. Heck, people play both versions today, with emulation etc, for one reason or another.
