Speaking of the most popular game recently, we have to mention "Dream Weaver Island" which was released on the 19th of this month.

As one of Nintendo’s three major signatures, The Legend of Zelda’s game quality is undoubtedly the highest among the three major IPs. Among them, "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" released in March 2017 greatly promoted the sales of the Switch console, which had just been launched at that time. Many players said that they bought the Switch just to play "Breath of the Wild"

The remake of "Dreamweaver" was released in 1993 and is the first work in the Legend of Zelda series to appear on a Nintendo handheld console.

Game development background

"Dreamweaver Island" was not originally an independent project. Originally, Nintendo wanted to use it as the title of "The Legend of Zelda: Triangle of Gods" released in 1990. "Power" was released together with the portable version

What's more interesting is that this game was initially made by Nintendo's R&D staff in their spare time

But gradually "Dream Weaver Island" It developed into an independent project and was launched in 1993 to great success. To this day, this work still appears on the "Best Games of All Time" lists in various gaming magazines.

In fact, as early as 1998, "Dream Weaver Island" went through a remake. Due to the improved performance of the Game Boy Color, the screen has been upgraded to color, and it is compatible with the Game Boy Printer. It also has a unique color maze design, making this remake quite successful. The total sales of the two generations of versions exceeded 6 million worldwide.

Game background

Let’s first talk about the story background of this game. After completing the training of "The Triforce of the Gods", Link began to travel around the world to continue training. On the way, he His ship encountered a storm, and he woke up and found himself on a small island called Kehulin Island. He was then told by an owl that he could only leave the island by going to the top of the mountain to wake up the Wind Fish, and Link began his adventure~

Moreover, the exciting music switching is also a highlight of this game. When the player switches scenes or enters battle, the BGM will change, which makes people feel more immersed.

The most surprising thing is the rich Easter eggs in this game. There are a lot of Easter eggs waiting for players to discover. If you haven’t read the guide, you can’t imagine how much a sudden Easter egg can bring to you. Fun

(A secret spoiler for everyone~ If you have never died when completing the level, a surprising easter egg will be triggered, prepare your liver)

Remastered version New content

The most surprising thing this time is the "Panel Maze" section that everyone teases as "Super Zelda Creator". This function will be opened after players complete the maze challenge, allowing players to design new mazes.

Back to the topic, is this game worth buying?

In fact, on the day this game was released, many players who experienced it did not recommend this game on our Jump applet. Xiaojiang summarized the two main reasons:

The story flow is short

Many players who have completed the game said that the story flow is short and there is little playable content. They are sorry for the price of $59.99.

After all, this game was produced in 1993, and this is a remake, not a sequel or additional DLC, so it is more about improvements to the graphics and system. And the issue of short game flow still depends on which games it is compared with. It is definitely inappropriate to compare a game from 1993 with a 3A masterpiece that has just been released.

In fact, if you are not a die-hard Nintendo fan, very few players have played "Dream Weaver", which has been 21 years since its last remake. However, the Legend of Zelda series has always been famous for its high game quality. I really, really recommend everyone to experience this game.

Moreover, Xiaojiang feels that although the game process of this game cannot be said to be long, it cannot be said to be short. If you have never played this game before, it will probably take you more than 40 hours to complete the level.

The screen often freezes and drops frames

Many players said that when switching scenes in the game, visible frame drops often occur, and there are many The scene will freeze, and some players said they cannot accept the blurring of the edges of the screen. This is why many players do not recommend this game.

As a first-party Nintendo game, it is indeed a bit unreasonable for such a problem to occur.

However, this situation can be improved when we install the game inside the console. However, the problem of frame drops does exist, and there is currently no effective way to solve this problem. We can only hope that the official patch will be released to fix it.

So, should I buy it or not? Let Xiaojiang give you an analysis~

In the final analysis, everyone is still daunted by this game because of the frame rate and process.

Situation 1: The official patch is released to solve the frame drop problem

1. If your pursuit of graphics is not that high, don’t wait and buy it quickly!

2. If you can't accept frame drops, but want to play this game, Xiaojiang recommends waiting until the patch is released and the problem is confirmed to be resolved before purchasing it.

Situation 2: The official has not released a patch for a long time, and the frame drop problem continues

1. If you are a die-hard fan of The Legend of Zelda, but you can’t accept the frame drop. , Xiaojiang advises you, just buy it, bear with it and you will get used to it.

2. If you have no feelings for the Zelda series, but also want to be very strict about the smoothness of the picture, and also want to get the best value for money, then I think this work may not be suitable for you.
