Ahead of its release this week, Nintendo has shared a new story trailer spot for The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, which gives fans another look at the stunning gameplay.
Along with spotlighting some new graphics from the highly-anticipated game, the clip features original song “Ballad of the Wind Fish” sung in English. Previously the track was only shared in Japanese. According to the official game overview from Nintendo:
“Explore a reimagined Koholint Island in one of the most beloved games in the Legend of Zelda series. Link has washed ashore on a mysterious island with strange and colorful inhabitants. To escape the island, Link must collect magical instruments across the land and awaken the Wind Fish. Explore a reimagined Koholint Island that’s been faithfully rebuilt in a brand-new art style that will entice fans and newcomers alike. Battle enemies as you conquer numerous dungeons and uncover the hidden secrets of the island. Encounter Super Mario enemies like Goombas, Piranha Plants, and more, and interact with unique locals who help Link on his adventure. As you clear dungeons throughout the main story, earn dungeon rooms (Chambers), then arrange them into custom layouts in the all-new Chamber Dungeon. Place your dungeon entrance, Nightmare room, and everything in between as you try to fulfill objectives and play through a new dungeon.”
