The creators behind a gorgeous reimagining of Link’s Awakening titled Link’s Awakening DX HD have been issued a takedown notice by Nintendo. The title featured HD visuals, 120fps scrolling, and widescreen support. Additionally, players could also zoom out and take in the entirety of Koholint Island at once. Nintendo is renowned for its protection of its IP and consistently takes down projects such as this one. Here’s what the takedown notice says:
“It has come to our attention that the following game, [Link’s Awakening DX HD], offered on Itch.io infringes and makes unauthorised use of Nintendo’s copyrights in The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening video game,” this notice reads.
“Please act expeditiously to remove the download and information page for the infringing game. I have a good faith belief that the material is not authorised by the intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law.”
