Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Aw Oracle of Seasons and Ages, how I wish I could go back in time and play you for the first time again

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points ago

im currently playing seasons (second to last dungeon). its been a ride

[–]meanttodothat 0 points1 point ago

Me too!

[–]alecyo12 0 points1 point ago

I'm also playing it I rediscovered my sp and a bunch of gbc games

[–]flohammed_albroseph 2 points3 points ago

Go to playr.org and make a free account and you can play oracle of seasons 100% free. I actually just beat it yesterday on that site.

[–]WaterChestnut3 16 points17 points ago

He said for the first time again, ie a whole new experience

[–]flohammed_albroseph 17 points18 points ago

Didn't see that part. Thanks for not being a dick about it.

[–]gangler52 8 points9 points ago

For just a moment I dared to hope that you were linking to a site that lets people play games for the first time again.

[–]EpicGamer 2 points3 points ago

Playing a game when you were young and innocent and immersing yourself in the game itself was a joy that could rarely be replicated. Playing it now... just doesn't feel the same ):

[–]imtooold21 1 point2 points ago

That's how I feel when playing Pokemon or any N64 Zelda nowadays....

[–]rahmberg 1 point2 points ago

Regardless, every time I play Link's Awakening I get super nostalgic and am reminded of all my experiences while playing. It makes me appreciate it even more ever time.

[–]Batman_Von_Suparman2 0 points1 point ago

well there goes my sleep

[–]thehouse1751 55 points56 points ago

this was a link to link being link...

[–]Good_Guy_Graig 3 points4 points ago

Yo dawg...

[–]LazyNoGood 81 points82 points ago

I'm quite new to reddit and even I find this way too often.

[–]-Tommy 28 points29 points ago

Almost a year user here, never seen it

[–]faecere 20 points21 points ago

Seven months is not almost a year.

[–]-Tommy 8 points9 points ago

I lurked for a few months also, so I've been using reddit for a year now

[–]Blaopink 1 point2 points ago

I lurked in my mothers womb 9 months before birth... does that mean i'm nine months older?

[–]-Tommy 5 points6 points ago

Ok I'll rephrase it, I have been looking at photos on reddit for around a year now, better?

[–]methinkso 8 points9 points ago

If you combine him with me (I also haven't seen it) then that makes a year.

[–]jellyfilledjosh 5 points6 points ago

actually, that makes a baby.

[–]unitconversion 5 points6 points ago

Add me

and that makes three.

[–]MtHammer 1 point2 points ago

I've yet to see it in the year and nine months I've been here.

[–]Leoneri 0 points1 point ago

11 months here, never seen this.

[–]Epiicuros 0 points1 point ago

I've seen it about 4 times on reddit.

[–]GaryEffinOak 1 point2 points ago

Regardless, I will always upvote this.

[–]Hero4sale85 11 points12 points ago

Jesus. I struggled trying to read "Like I Give a fuck". I kept reading it as "Link I Give a Fuck". Guess I'm getting old

[–]gazamcnulty[S] 13 points14 points ago

You should put the master sword back in the pedestal of time then

[–]knighmare 2 points3 points ago

that room is one giant noob trap, literally the only way to get through without getting hit is to just hold down the arrow

[–]dmirkin 34 points35 points ago

[–]gazamcnulty[S] 37 points38 points ago

I'm sorry I've honestly never seen it before but rest assured all proceeds will be donated to amnesty international.

[–]CaptainCurl 20 points21 points ago

Well if it's for charity... I guess I could spare one upvote.

To be fair, OP's title is much more descriptive...

[–]UnknownReddit007 3 points4 points ago

Posted 24 days ago by wexrages

Posted 25 days ago by the_brainwasher. He has deleted his account, and double posted this .gif

Also, I do believe I have seen this post about 2 other times, but not either of these 4.

[–]Goltork2 0 points1 point ago

I love that movie.

[–]MalekTaktak 3 points4 points ago

Pretty sure this Link got reposted.. then again after looking at the Gif text, I can guess what gazamcnulty's answer will be.

[–]StarSapphire2814 4 points5 points ago

I don't care if this is a repost, I could watch this GIF every week. I just like imagining Link charging through the room, projectiles flying all around him, going, "I don't have time for this shit, I've got a princess to save!"

[–]phliuy -1 points0 points ago

while the monsters comically try to hit him but miss and run into each other instead, only to fall over one another in a giant pile while link casually sidesteps and leaves a bomb in their midst.

[–]firebat707 1 point2 points ago

its just like breaking up with a crazy girl friend

[–]gazamcnulty[S] 6 points7 points ago

she pulled the old "arrow/shuriken barrage in a dungeon" trick eh?

[–]TidalPotential 2 points3 points ago

You don't even know.

[–]pspness 1 point2 points ago

Link I give a fuck.

[–]AuDgasm 1 point2 points ago

Most older games seemed to work this way, though it's only obvious after enduring the possimpible.

[–]wanders13 1 point2 points ago

"Like I give a fuck", "Haters gonna hate", and any variation of zero fucks being given always seem to make me laugh not matter what

[–]csgoodri 1 point2 points ago

I like those upvote and downvote turrets.

[–]NightOwl58 1 point2 points ago

Never seen this before, had a good laugh. Thanks for posting (even if it was a repost).

[–]Fhistleb 0 points1 point ago

I always thought those spears were swords being launched the wrong way at you...

[–]TTHVOB 0 points1 point ago

it's been a while since i've played these games, but this is in dungeon 6 of seasons right?

[–]FuriousJ 0 points1 point ago

It seems to be like the last two floor shredder spike things hit him and just bounce off of him, is this done with on an emulator or something?

[–]badguyisalive 0 points1 point ago

fucking loved that room.

[–]aroundme 0 points1 point ago

I say! Smashing repost my good man!

[–]alecyo12 0 points1 point ago

I was just playing this 5 mins ago on my sp this is mind blowing for me right now

[–]standupstanddown 0 points1 point ago

These two were my absolute favorite Zelda games (in 2D at least). I enjoyed seasons more than ages, but still both really awesome games.

[–]MurderousPaper 0 points1 point ago

I'm loving all the love you guys are showing for this game. Link's Awakening DX is one of my favorite games but it doesn't get much attention.

[–]Darkthrow 0 points1 point ago

Link don`t give a flying piece of shit!

[–]Total-Tortilla 0 points1 point ago

It would be no exaggeration to call Seasons/Ages my favorite Zelda games in the series.

[–]Blaopink 0 points1 point ago
