What's going on boys and girls what's up we're all a Austin John plays here and
today we're gonna be taking a look at the Link's Awakening limited edition
that was not in the United States oh so let me talk to you guys here in
the United States for Link's Awakening we did not get the option of getting the
steelbook and that whole thing instead we only got the dreamer Edition and the
dreamer Edition came with an art book and the game that was it as opposed to
Europe and Australia which also got their hands on a really nice art book
and a steelbook and was 75 quid and I reached out to everyone on Twitter and I
said hey guys does anyone live in Europe or Australia and willing to buy it and
send it to me and someone did shout out to you Michael Dawg 122 thank you so
much for helping me out from from down on day I've been a little m.i.a I have a
lot of life things happening and I'm working on that I also upgraded camera
to from being the POS video camera that it was to the same camera that I'm using
for my main camera isn't that right main camera you know it's right great and
Mike he droid kitty cat thanks Mike anytime I do one of these videos I mean
it's not the newest product out there but like with the let's go Pikachu and
let's go Eevee Nintendo switch bundle I feel like my core audience definitely
watches these videos and it's kind of a way for me to do a little little update
on what's going on in my life with you guys well first of all I mean the
process of really really trying to lose weight because oh boy I get winded going
up stairs and that's a problem now I don't know what was actual rapping from
EB Games and I don't know what Mike did but we have it here in tissue paper you
can kinda see through it a little bit not too much though
and here we go Link's Awakening limited edition mild fantasy violence rated PG I
didn't know that Australia uses parental guidance so this is going to be coming
with the game the steelbook and the art book which fantastic if we look at the
artwork on here there's like some really nice detailed work everywhere and also
the front is glossy as opposed to here which is sort of a oh hang on so this is
a glossy finish this is silk print and this is a spot UV print which is really
really nice work and also this is like a heavy silk for anyone in the printing
industry that's like that velvet silk software made in Japan art book made in
Germany steel book made in China we open up from the side and we can see the
books Wow couldn't do that again if I tried what's
very interesting is you will notice that there is no rating on this normally
would say PG or Peggy rating or the ESRB rating but there's no rating on the
front which is unique goes to show that it should not be sold separately and
this is the same exact cover art as the United States release which is
interesting there's a piece of cardboard here is the steelbook that looks like a
giant Gameboy it's cut the lights for the reflection here we go beautiful
Gameboy design it is indented where the a and B are as well as the d-pad that
shows up on camera a little bit and then there's a little crevice in between the
screen and the body which is really nice too the back the entire area where the
battery cover is along the middle area is ribbed but not on the outside which
is unique oh wow the screw holes have indents in them that's pretty awesome
and then the area where the actual Gameboy game is
it's a glossy finish so it feels differently then the rest of the
steelbook and this is so much attention to detail
this is more attention to detail than I've seen on any steelbook ever well yes
this deal book is the exact same size as a Nintendo switch case in comparison to
an original Gameboy it's actually not too far off which is a nice just happen
to be by chance and inside I'm assuming that there's gonna be nothing there's
nothing of oh the inside art is all images of the original Link's Awakening
on the Gameboy not even Link's Awakening DX so here you can see all of the
screenshots in here and ah that's beautiful attention to detail and inside
of here we just have the one game nice I like steel books and limited editions
that give you the original case and the steelbook case I think that's really
awesome let's take a look at the art book the opening page treats us to the
hand-drawn art of link the opening cutscene of him washing up on : and it
says one and we have the full moon cello only get images of link from links
original design and then how they took his original design and made it into the
cartoon painting link and also the various alternatives that they were
working with with more detail we get some beautiful sketches of Mei village
and the various buildings inside of it it seemed like what they did is they
drew full artwork for all the characters and then they dumb them down into the
pretty cartoonish and then dumbed it down more and more and more for example
here's Taran and Marin which you'll see they go from sort of full figures really
fleshed out also Taran kind of looks like the kid from up and then they dumb
them down and cartoon eyes them more and then they fit them in with the style we
could see that the witch was supposed to be a lot more detailed
and then got drawn into the same cartoon style it's really weird to see them
basically start with very detailed drawings and then go from the detailed
drawings to a much more basic cartoony design which goes to show that they
didn't settle on the art style immediately instead it was like a work
in progress until they finally like wrapped up on who they wanted like
here's Madame meow meow and she looks like something straight out of Beauty
and the Beast every level gives us artwork of the boss fights and high-rez
of the instruments the buyers the little devils oh it's really awesome to see
mock-ups of the instruments of the sirens and then them being brought into
their in-game designs now I know that here in America there was an option for
you to I think from like a third-party retailer buy Link's Awakening and the
steelbook but not the art book and definitely not the original box like
this is a really quality box I did not expect it to be this nice oh the rating
is actually printed on here that will never come off yay alright well guys I
just want to give you this update and show you what we here in the States
didn't get anything cool with also for Pokemon sword and shield we're not
getting steel books but Europe is and I already have someone set up for that
