Today Nintendo showcased the new Link's Awakening at the gamescom for about half an hour. You can watch the stream here on Youtube.
The gameplay takes us from the beginning of the Yarna Desert up to the miniboss of the Angler's Tunnel, with a detour to Dampé's Shack to showcase another Chamber Dungeon Challenge. There is a lot of "new" things to see here, where I suggest to take a look.
One interesting detail is that the Angler's Tunnel now got a new music track on top of the old one, where it sounds a lot more like a typical water dungeon. The original music was basically just a sped-up version of the cave track, where it's nice that they have done a little bit more here, while still keeping the original.
Another small detail in the Angler's Tunnel is that its Eyegore statues look differently from the ones in the Tailcave and the Color Dungeon. In the original those were all the same. The green Eyegore statues do look a little bit frightening anyway, as if they could become alive at any time like the did in A Link to the Past / Between Worlds.
Also, by now it should be clear that you will indeed be able to spot sunken Pieces of Heart from above, as clear as the water seems to be in this game. There were no new Pieces of Heart visible in the footage, however, at least that I found on first glance.
You can spot some entirely new things, however, like a new warp points and a new collectible item in the inventory, but I'll make separate posts for those, so stay tuned!
