...but the end to Links Awakening is so incredibly sad :(
(I never played it before the Switch version. And even if I knew about how the story ends I still felt it being very sad)

Indeed. The more one thinks about it the darker and sadder it gets. What is the island, exactly? Why is Link there and what does he do? Is he the antagonist after all? Why else would he go and destroy this beautiful island full of peace and happiness? Why does nobody stop him and why is he never listening to the countless warnings and pleas?
Imagine this nihilistic and traumatising story is in a colorful and lovely Gameboy game. Madness, isn't it?
...like all dreams this one will end...
...yeah b-b-but Marin :(
Even if you become the seagul that gets to see the world Link will never meet you again :(
The one Zelda game that encourages you to do all the side stuff and avoid the main game ;)

I don’t care about the story in most games and I’ve been pretty vocal about it on this forum; gameplay > story.
And to be honest Links Awakening was like that until my last conversation with Marin and the ending. That’s when I became :(
Its super sad, and would’ve been even sadder if they used the lyrical version of Marin’s theme
It's slightly less upsetting if I assume you got the full ending i.e. no deaths.
Yeah, it is quite a twist. I love when Nintendo ventures into the darker concepts for their Zelda games.
The ending didn't hit me the same way when I was a kid vs. when I played the remake. As a kid, I really didn't have a care in the world so of course the ending was just, "oh, okay Link has to leave now. Mission accomplished". But playing it 15 years later, it hits differently as even as fantasy as Link's Awakening is, there is a solemn reality to it as well. I still think this is the peak of Zelda Storytelling. Not because the story is in your face epic, but it's rather what isn't said that speaks the loudest.
