I think the best remakes are the ones that both feel like the original but also feel like a wholly new experience. In this category, Link's Awakening on the switch is one of the best remakes of all time.

I dont know what it is about that ending, but it gets to me. Maybe its just the fact that The Ballad of the Wind Fish might be my favorite song in the franchise and makes me emotional every time I hear it, whether in 8-bit or newly arranged. Its a simple story executed beautifully.
