During the latest Nintendo Direct, Nintendo revealed a brand new The Legend of Zelda adventure: Echoes of Wisdom. This September, you'll get to play as Princess Zelda for the first time in a mainline Zelda game. That's still a few months away, so what can you do to scratch that adventuring itch until then? Play another Zelda game, of course!

As of June 18, you can get a physical copy of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on Nintendo Switch for just $39.99 at Walmart. That's $20 off its normal price of $59.99 and a discount of 33%. As of this writing, Amazon still lists the game at $49.90.

This Switch adventure is a remake of the 1993 Game Boy title of the same name, which marked the first appearance of the Zelda series on a handheld. It follows Link as he wakes up on Koholint Island, worlds away from Hyrule. He must figure out why he's there and how he arrived in the first place while working to wake the legendary Wind Fish. This version gives the game a beautiful visual upgrade with a diorama-like aesthetic, an all-new Chamber Dungeon mode, and a reimagined soundtrack for good measure. It's the original game completely reborn.

Now's a good time to return to this classic while you wait to try out the new game. If you want to explore and earn everything, it should just last you long enough, though it's understandable that it's going to be a tough wait.
