    Nintendo just makes me smile and Legend of Zelda makes me smile longer. Nice product, almost too small for my big hands but it’s pocket sized and that is awesome! Screen is great for the size and I love it

    This is a neat little device that plays the first 3 zelda games. The screen is actually quite good despite it being so small. The battery life is also surprisingly good, lasts about 8-10 hours. Recomend this if youre a collector

    Very fun, I use it as a clock on my desk. The box also doubles as a display stand which is an improvement over the previous Mario game and watch. Not a great way to play these games but as a novelty I love it

    Has Zelda 1, 2 (nes) and links awakening (gamboy). Has some cool Easter eggs and features: a couple extra games and modes, games keep the state if you exit so when you come back it’s right where you left off (but has the option to reset), battery lasts a really long time, screen is nice and bright, links awakening is a nice shade of green and emulation is accurate (however it doesn’t flash red when you die in Zelda 2, but suspect it’s for epilepsy prevention) Note there are no save states (aside from the above) or rewind options, but honestly am fine with, since that’s the way these games used to be. Overall: The Games are still very fun and the device is great quality.

    If you're like me you're like most people buying this item. Purely for nostalgic value. And it's a high quality, durable, and nifty nostalgic display item to be sure. But for anyone looking at this to purchase just for the games I recommend to pass. Zelda 1 and 2 don't really hold up now days. And while the gameboy Zelda links awakening holds up fantastically it's the black and white version. You can find the colorized 'DX' version fairly cheaply on a lot of nintendo systems. Not to mention it was remade for switch. Long story short, great piece of nostalgia to display for us enthusiasts. But you probably won't actually get much play time out of it.k

    It’s an instant classic. Such a cool device that comes with more games than I expected. Bright screen with beautiful colors. Highly recommend if you’re in the market for a desk clock that does a bit more.

    Great collectors item and the games will turn on instantly. Mostly for the collector but a good purchase. Wish they would’ve included the DX version of links awakening but this version is ok.

    We bought this for our son and he loves it!!! It's pretty neat to see him figuring out a game that I loved as a kid. Would definitely recommend to others that want to relive their childhood games.

    So much fun on this thing. Leave it near my desk at home and just pick it up every once in a while and kill some time playing through Links Awakening again. Great quality too.

    Love this game just wish it was a larger screen. Difficult to see the screen with bad vision. Can be a bit confusing because its so small its very hard to see what items you have and are using

    Nice collector's item, fun little handheld

    I wasn't expecting much beyond a neat collector's item, like the Mario version last year, but I'm surprised to find that I'm having quite a lot of fun with this little handheld. I find myself reaching for it to play classic Zelda games more than I thought I would and just having a lot of fun with it. The games are what they are -- a selection of classic Legend of Zelda titles. With the exception of the Vermin re-skin and the clock "game," you've likely encountered some or all of these. The only criticism I have is in regards to Link's Awakening. It feels odd to include the original GameBoy version rather than the upgraded GameBoy Color DX version. Could be a hardware issue, I suppose, but I doubt it. More likely it seems like the intent was to include the "classic" version of the game as it was originally released. If so, fair enough, I suppose, but it is a definite downgrade from the DX version. (Then again, there is an enhanced Switch remake of Link's Awakening readily available if you want to play the absolute best version ...) However, I have to hand it to Nintendo -- these are three fairly meaty adventure games all packed into one convenient system, with lots of features (including alternate language versions of all three games). The unit itself is of nice quality. It is very light and easy to carry around. The buttons feel good, if a little small, and the screen is nice and bright. It doesn't play as well if held at an angle, but it's pretty unlikely that you'd won't be playing it looking straight on. All in all, highly recommend the Zelda Game & Watch. It's not the 3D All-Stars treatment I was hoping for to celebrate 35 years of the Legend of Zelda, but it is a fun little handheld system.

    Awesome collection of 3 classic Zelda Games! This handheld is a great addition to any Nintendo/Zelda collection. Plays well, and can easily slide into your pocket when you're out on-the-go. Who wouldn't wanna carry 3 classic Zelda games in their pocket, ready for whenever you're out and find yourself with some time to kill? There's really fun little touches that they added too. If you enjoyed the Super Mario Game & Watch device that was released previously, you'll enjoy this set. Looks great on your game shelf too!

    A Must Have For Zelda Fans

    I love this portable Zelda collectible; while the screen is small, the graphics are clear and the included games are classics that I love playing! My only issues are that sometimes in Zelda 2 the screen flickers, the volume occasionally varies from louder to quieter, and I wish the price was $10 cheaper.
