Zelda: Link's Awakening - 10 Problems Nobody Wants To Admit
4. Super Trendy Distraction
Who doesn't love a claw machine win? No one can say their life isn't enriched by repeatedly plunging a claw into a big pile of knock off plush toys until the machine finally grips tightly on the prize and you're stuck carrying it around all day like an inconvenient trophy - there's even YouTube channels with a million subscribers each solely dedicated to claw machines!
Step back from reality into the realms of video games and it's not really the same feeling, it just isn't. However, Nintendo decided that it was absolutely something everybody wanted and gave Koholint Island's 'Trendy Game' a new lease of life in the Switch remake.
Originally, the Trendy Game was only used to kickstart the trading sequence and was never really needed ever again. This was enough and the Secret Seashell you could pick up here was helpful to securing the Koholint Sword but the remake just goes totally overboard with the concept.
10 figurines are available for players to collect by playing the Trendy Game over and over again but there really isn't much point to it other than adorning the houses of Mabe Village with cutesy versions of Mario enemies... No one asked for this!
