    Whats Included
    • The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

    Q: What do I do if it is a gift for someone

    A: well you wrap it up, and give it to them

    Q: There is a little E at the bottom of the left side of the box cover. Is it the same as 7 provisional? Thanks.

    A: “E” means that the game is suitable for “Everyone” to play.

    Q: My brother in law requested the game - Legend of Zelda Link to The Past HD for Nintendo Switch is this the same game?

    A: No it is not, as of what I know there is no Link to the Past HD unfortunately. This is a remake of the original Links awakening and in the Zelda timeline this game takes place after a link to the Past. But this game is great and I do highly recommend it. I would love to see Link to The Past HD happen though. And Skyward sword HD is also coming pretty soon so maybe he'd like that one too.

    Q: What does it mean that this version is digital?? What is the difference?

    A: It means that it’s a digital copy of the game that gets downloaded to the gaming system. There is no disc/chip. They give/send you a code to enter and follow the steps to download the game permanently to you system. 1 benefit is that you do not need to enter a disc/chip every time you want to play.

    Q: Are they going to be doing a midnight release?

    A: It's already released, so nope.

    Q: Why did you remake dampè!? I love his form lol! Also Don’t

    A: Damper was different in appearance, but I thought was better than the original!

    Save Hyrule—this time with the wisdom of Princess Zelda! The people of Hyrule are being stolen away by strange rifts—with a certain swordsman as well as the King of Hyrule and his advisors among the missing. Left alone, it’s up to Princess Zelda to save her kingdom in a brand-new adventure in The Legend of Zelda series!

You can even make echoes of monsters to fight at your side in combat! Use a variety of abilities to conquer rifts and dungeons across a vast Hyrule.

Use Bind to make objects follow Zelda’s movements, or Reverse Bond to follow an object’s movements. You can also use a mysterious sword to transform into the powerful swordfighter form for a short time. With these abilities at your disposal, you’ll be fully equipped to tackle each challenge in your own way! Your search for the rifts will span far and wide and bring you into contact with plenty of folks who will make requests of you. Luckily you can use waypoints or a horse to get around! Travel off the beaten path to discover side quests and minigames. As you explore Hyrule, you’ll encounter all kinds of interesting folk—those dealing with problems great and small, and even some that just want to give you a fun challenge! You’ll even meet the engineer Dampé, helping him to create automatons and use them to attack and stun enemies. Equip accessories and visit Smoothie Shops for bonus effects. Try on different outfits and accessories to gain various effects such as increasing appearance of hearts or ability to jump higher.
