Thought I'd post some closing thoughts on my Link's Awakening DX run. I had previously only beaten the DX version once (when it came out) so most of the DX-specific stuff was not fresh in my memory. So yeah:
-The Boomerang is OP for crystal switches.
-The dungeon bosses are overall too easy. WAAAAAAAAY too easy with the Blue Tunic.
-I didn't set foot in the camera shop. Screw that place. Maybe if one of the photos didn't require stealing from the shop, which I consider a huge stain on my file.
-I don't like the gaudy coloring of the Wind Fish.
-I'd forgotten how many heart pieces are behind random unmarked walls that you have to bomb. How the hell are you supposed to find them on your own? I know them by heart but yeah.
-I'm surprised they didn't fix the trick where you can save and quit while paying for the bow and keep most of your rupees. Not that I needed them. I was at 999 for most of the game.
I guess I don't have any more random thoughts to add. Still my favorite 2D Zelda, though I think Oracle of Ages is not far behind.
