The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Dream

About

This fanmade project recreates Link's Awakening for modern systems using Solarus engine tools. Players control Link after a storm sinks his boat, leaving him stranded on Koholint Island with amnesia. The game features visuals inspired by A Link to the Past while adding custom sprites and tiles to update the original Game Boy aesthetic. You will explore dungeons, fight enemies, and solve puzzles to uncover the mystery of the giant egg atop the mountain. The soundtrack has been reimagined with an SNES style that fits the new art direction perfectly. This remake preserves the surreal tone of the 1993 classic while offering a fresh look for PC, Mac, and Linux users. Fans often praise how well it captures the spirit of the source material without feeling like a simple port. The story follows Link as he meets Marin and Tarin to piece together his past and find a way home.

Storyline

Link was navigating on his boat when suddenly, a huge storm happened. Thunder was rumbling and the ocean was raging. A thunderbolt broke the mast, and destroyed the boat. Link lost consciousness. He ended up on the beach of an unknown island, still alive but fainted and wounded. A young girl named Marin took him in and looked after him until he finally woke up. She explained him that he was on Kohlint island, a tropical island in the middle of the ocean. Link also soon met Tarin, her father, who found Link’s shield on the beach. Who are these people? Where is Link? And why is this island both so strange and so familiar? And what is this giant egg at the top of the mountain? You’ll discover the truth by guiding Link in this epic and oniric quest.
