Hyrule Historia reveals canned co-op for Link’s Awakening
February 20th, 2013 Posted in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Posted by Austin
We have learned an awful lot about the Zelda series with the recent release of Hyrule Historia, and the latest revelation to come out of the pages of the textbook-sized fan service is that the Gameboy oddity Link’s Awakening actually may have had some form of co-op at one point.
The information comes in the form of development documents for the game, one of which includes a picture of two Links fighting a boss with the note “What’re we gonna do about 1P mode?”. This would certainly indicate they had briefly considered the option at one point, though I would be skeptical if someone told me they actually ever programmed the option in to try it out.

Another fun multiplayer fact from Hyrule Historia – the original Legend of Zelda was originally conceived as one player creating dungeons for a second player to explore. An interesting idea that I wouldn’t mind seeing Nintendo revisit (through Streetpass…..?)
