3D artist MithosKuu has been recreating the graphics from Link's Awakening in 3dsMax8, planning to eventually remake the GameBoy title after modeling every area. I have to disagree with Tiny Cartridge on this one. I don't think the graphics have lost any of their original charm, although it does look a lot like Pokémon. I just hope the artist goes through with eventually remaking the game. Check MithosKuu's blog to view the full size 3D renders.

While it’s a technically impressive project, and most seem to be excited about MithosKuu’s plan, the renders seem to lack the original 2D game’s “charm,” that hackneyed, ineffectual term/idea writers often use to name the warmth in their heart that they can’t describe. Perhaps I’m just a nostalgic jerk — after all, I refuse to play even the colorized DX release, unable to deal with the newness of its fangles. This just looks too much like Pokémon Diamond/Pearl.
