[[caption-width-right:350:The Unholy Triforce has been saved... for the most part.]]
''Link: The Faces of Evil'' and ''Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon'' are [[MemeticMutation infamous]] for the [[SoBadItsGood questionable quality of their animated cutscenes]], but what about the gameplay itself? Those who have played the games tend to find them on the lower end of SoOkayItsAverage, brought down by a number of issues, most blatantly the bad controls. Not that many people can even experience that, given that emulating a CD-i is notoriously hard, and getting the actual system and games is prohibitively expensive. The games' merits are thus doomed to be ignored...
...until one developer named Dopply set out to change that. Starting as a joke with his friends, Dopply learned how to use the [=GameMaker=] engine to recreate the games from scratch over the course of four years (excluding things like graphics, movies, and sound, which were ripped straight from the original game) so they could be played on modern computers, while also fixing the games' control issues (which were caused by the CD-i's controller only having 2 buttons, obviously not an issue on computers) and adding some quality of life features such as subtitles for the cutscenes and unlimited lives, and a few new secrets.
The games were previously available for free, but they were intentionally taken down a few days later to avoid running into issues with Nintendo's legal department. [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes They can still be found if you know where to look]].
Most tropes from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames'' will also apply here. This page is for tropes specific to the remakes.
!!This remake adds the following tropes to the original games:
* BareFistedMonk: [[spoiler:King Harkinian]] fights with punches and kicks instead of a sword.
* HintSystem: You can press a button to receive a hint from either Gwonam or Impa, depending on which game you're playing.
* SecretCharacter: [[spoiler:King Harkinian]] can be unlocked as a playable character by completing the game on Hero Mode.
* UnlockableDifficultyLevels: "Hero Mode", which doubles the amount of damage done by enemies and removes the [[EmergencyEnergyTank Canteen]] item.
* UnsoundEffect: When the blacksmith/former fisherman in ''Wand of Gamelon'' shows off his new job, "[flexes]" is written in the subtitles despite the flexing not making any sound.
