Professional Game Designer Stanislav Costiuc (Watch Dogs Legion, Trials Rising) takes a look at The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. Originally started development as a Game Boy port of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening transformed into a unique beast of its own, featuring neither Hyrule, Ganon, nor Zelda, yet being an important part of the evolution of The Legend of Zelda franchise.

Before watching this videos, it is highly advisable to watch the review of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, as it will be referenced a lot:
