Customers frequently mention the game's beautiful graphics and the included art book as highlights. Many also praised the remake and its enjoyable story, though some felt the game was a bit short. A few players noted occasional performance issues, such as frame rate drops, and some found the dungeon creation tool to be underwhelming.

    Good game overall, but it felt short. I had never gotten around to playing thru the original, so it was worth it for me.

    ....at a price that's not scalper levels then get the game. Otherwise, this is a decent package to is a masterpiece of a game. If you're dying for a great special edition of this game, check out the massively superior PAL release.

    For anyone who has played the original Game Boy game, this remake is a breath of fresh air in all its glory. Gameplay is even better, and the Switch version includes extras not found in the original. A must buy for any Zelda fan!

    The art book was nice but I would've loved something like the European special edition.

    I only played the original back in the day for a couple of hours. I have been playing my switch a lot lately for the at home/on the go experience. I found myself playing this a lot more than I thought I would. There are some obtuse parts of the game that doesn't really tell you what you should be doing next, however I personally thought this was a good opportunity to explore and travel the map. Highly recommended.

    One of my all time favorite games. Other than the graphics, not much has changed. Everything is exactly the same, but I consider that perfect. Well worth playing through again.

    This is one of the greatest remake of the Zelda game. It kept all the great experience from the original and added more features to the game. It is truly a great addition to your switch collection.

    This new rendition of the classic game is done with true respect for the source material. It's a fantastic game with modern advancements/tools that aid a gamer in 2019. I highly recommend the game.

    I could have finished it in one sitting if I had the time. It is a wonderfully paced game, and is perfect for fans of Zelda games like A Link to the Past or The Minish Cap.

    Having been a zelda fan since the game boy days, I knew I had to get this game! What better way to get it then the limited dreamed edition! This is very fun to play with.

    Love this re-imagining of a classic Game Boy game, so many years later. The colors are gorgeous, as are the animations. And of course, it's a Zelda game, so it's awesome.

    Dented Box; wrinkly artbook; no steelbook.

    Really disappointed in the handling of a Special Edition on both Best Buy and Nintendo's part. For some weird reason, Nintendo doesn't offer the steelbook for most of their titles in the Americas that Europe gets, and then Best Buy doesn't take care in handling special or limited editions. Luckily, the game itself is charming and represents probably the best way to breath new life into a classic game by reimagining the graphics while maintaining the core gameplay and not just with a lazy upscaled port.

    Nintendo has done it again. While the European CE of this game is much cooler I have to say they Dreamer Edition is not bad at all. Can’t wait to docs into this game!

    Great collectible version of a good game. Comes with a very nice art book & the game case has different artwork on the back than the standard version. Recommended.

    I was able to reserve and get the dreamer edition just the very same day it was launched. I loved the booklet and also got the amiibo.
