Daily Debate: How Does Koholint Island Compare To Other Zelda Worlds?
Posted on October 02 2019 by Charles Xavier
Now that we’ve had a few days to soak in the Link’s Awakening remake, and have gotten familiar (or refamilar) with Koholint Island, it might be fun to compare to it other worlds in the Zelda series. I’m wondering does Koholint Island hold up to the likes of Termina, or other Zelda worlds?
For some reason I find myself looking specifically at Koholint Island vs Termina. This is probably because of Zelda Encyclopedia canonically deeming Termina as a dream world like Koholint Island. Personally, I find Termina to be the more interesting world in this case, yet I think Koholint Island has a few unique aspects to it’s world. Firstly, in my opinion, Koholint’s overworld feels bigger than Termina’s. Secondly, it has more dungeons than Termina did. Lastly, while Termina is pretty odd, I think Koholint definitely takes the cake for the weirdest world in the Zelda series, with its Goombas, Anti-Kirbys, and it even has two Chain Chomps!
Where do you think Koholint stands compared to other Zelda worlds? Tell us in the comments below!
