The Remake Is Finally Here, but Why Does Link Look so Yassified? Nintendo has prepped its classic game for a rerelease with a slew of aesthetic upgrades--none more extreme than the protagonist's curled-eyelash, glossed-lip glow-up. After 28 years, the gamer's game is getting a big remake. A fully redone version of arrives Thursday exclusively on the Switch 2. Nintendo has been releasing trailers and screenshots in the run-up to the launch, and the imagery, while whetting appetites, has also left fans with an overwhelming question: Why does Link look like that? Gameplay starts as child Link in the Kokiri Forest, which looks more lush and verdant than ever in the remake.
