Link's Awakening Comes With A Free Pin Set At Target

Earlier this year, Nintendo announced a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is coming to Nintendo Switch. We finally got a release date during Nintendo's E3 2019 press conference: Link's Awakening will release on September 20, 2019.

The Link's Awakening remake looks stunning, with vibrant, colorful visuals that retain the top-down perspective of the original. The last time Nintendo released a new game inspired by a classic Zelda adventure--looking at you, A Link Between Worlds--the end result was fantastic, so we have high hopes for Link's Awakening, which will be the first top-down Zelda title on the Switch.

If you've never played Link's Awakening, which initially released in 1993 for the Game Boy, you're in for even more of a treat, as you'll get to experience the story for the first time. As you might have gathered from the announcement trailer (which you can watch above), the story begins with Link sailing into a giant storm that leaves him shipwrecked on Koholint Island, which is guarded by a giant sleeping Wind Fish. Throughout the course of the game, you'll control Link as he solves puzzles and fights monsters to gather eight magical instruments that will wake the Wind Fish, the only one who can help him leave the island. Link's Awakening shakes up the traditional Zelda formula a bit, as it doesn't involve Princess Zelda, the Triforce, or Hyrule at all.

Link's Awakening is already available to pre-order at a few different retailers--check out everything you need to know about securing your copy below.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening pre-order bonus

GameStop is offering a double-sided poster featuring art from Link's Awakening with pre-orders of the game--and as usual with these types of bonuses, supplies are limited.

Meanwhile, Target just announced customers will get a free Zelda pin set when they buy Link's Awakening. The weekly ad (from which we screenshotted the above image) says the free pin set will be available at Target's Electronics counter, which suggests you'll need to buy the game at the store (or bring in your game and pre-order receipt).
