If you played Zelda, you'll want to play this. It's fun, the puzzle are engaging and fun. The story is simple but fun. Great game for both adults and kids.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening was my first Zelda game and next to BOTW is my favorite. I played it on my original Game Boy when I was young, I played it on my 3DS when I was older, and now, I'm playing it on my Switch. This game is almost exactly the same as the original. The main differences being it includes the Gameboy Color added color dungeon and a section to build your own dungeons for extra loot. I am having so much fun playing this game because it brings back memories. It's just as I remember it but the graphics are absolutely gorgeous and I can't recommend it enough!

A perfect remake of one of the best (my favorite 2D Zelda) games in the franchise. I hope A Link to the Past or Ocarina of Time console remake is next!

Great for the price, for $10 more of the regular game price and get the art book is very well worth. The Art book is very beatiful, love it.

We LOVE this remake. I honestly hope they use the same engine and remake the original LoZ. This has been an absolute blast to play.
