Anyone find Link's Awakening unsettling?
Here me out.
Link's Awakening is considered one of the best Zelda games. At least according to what I read, the Zelda games were never my cup of tea.
I remember having this game back when I was 9. It was my introduction to the series. I guess I was a dumb kid because I couldn't figure out how to get past the first dungeon.
To me, something about the game seemed to to unsettle me. Idk if it was the surreal and cryptic vibe of the game or what. Maybe it was the lack of civilization other than the village (idk if there are other villages in the game since like I said I never made it past the first dungeon.) I also didn't really understand what was going on since I didn't have great reading comprehension and never played far enough to learn about the greater mystery of the island. All I knew was that I had to awaken the windfish somehow.
I know it's not some creepy horror game, mystery or an Easter egg like most posts on this sub, but I still wanted to share my opinion about this game and wonder if anyone else feels the same way.
In a way, it kinda seems silly to say this game is unsettling when there's other stuff like Majora's Mask, the Redeads, and Dead Hand.
