This was a fun remake of the original Zelda game on the original Nintendo. I found myself reminiscing some of the zones and quests as I was playing. There are enough new quests and mechanics to add some newness to the storyline. I had a blast playing.

My son has been a fan since the 1st The Legend of Zelda game and I see the attraction.

I am a big fan of the Zelda games. When I saw this in the store I had to purchase it. It is a great game. I have played through it twice and throughly enjoyed it. If you are a fan of Zelda and Link you need to purchase and play this wonderful game.

I remember when I was 7 and recieve my first original gameboy it came with this little gem called The Legend of Zelda Link Awakening. The sad part I never really beat it and bum me out being very young had a difficult time play it. So when Nintendo announced an acutal remake for the switch. To be honest, I did not like the look of it that it didn't grab me. But last week, i suddenly change my mind and gave it a go. I was so wrong that I love this cute game and how beautiful this mysterious island really is that Nintendo put a lot love to this classic. Truthfully, I not a big zelda fan but I own it to myself to play this gem again. Link Awakening is the only zelda game I really care about, Goty material, and a timeless classic I glad to have on the switch.

Link's Awakening was one of my favorite gameboy titles and playing the new remake was a great nostalgia trip. Game does have some framerate / slowdowns which is my biggest issue with it though it did not prevent me from playing the game to the end.

This is a fantastic remake. From the art style of the graphics to the nice 3D looking view, this game is just great to play. I love the simplistic controls behind it, the map, the way it plays, just everything. Even if you're not a huge fan of the Zelda games I highly recommend you try this game. It is just very well done. Since I got it from Gamefly I haven't been able to put it down.

This is far and away the best version of Link's Awakening available! The extra button and quality of life improvements makes it far superior to the Gameboy and Color iterations, and it includes all the bonuses found in the Color version! A must play for classic Zelda lovers.

Completely different than any other Zelda game I’ve played. You start off not being able to so much as jump, but it ends up like every other Zelda game where you’re loaded with gear and can travel anywhere with ease. I really hope they remake more Zelda games for the switch.

Cartoonish graphics to contrast with breath of the wild or Tears. Fun change of pace.

I'm a huge Zelda fan and the new remake of Link's Awakening for the Switch is a stellar upgrade from the old gameboy version. Not only does it feature updated graphics and gameplay but it also features some familiar characters from a certain red hatted plumber's franchise.

What a cute Zelda game!!!! The RPG style is the same as before but the resolution and gameplay is great! I finished the game within a week. Hopefully they will come out more remake of the Zelda series!

It a fun game full of nostalgia. And it runs great and much smoother compared to the original game.

Beat it pretty fast but really enjoyed my time. Sometimes it difficult to figure out what to do next, but just make sure you talk to people and pay attention to the hints. Games better when you don’t look up a guide.

Really immersive, fun and a enjoyable story experience

Love this game brings back memories from my game boy days and to top it off the game is even better than it was before

This was a great remake of the original link's awakening. I love the visual style of the game, its a good mix of modern look and old game play feel. The game is not too terribly challenging but I enjoyed adventuring around the island and getting more an more equipment to unlock previously unreachable locations. My 7 year old seems to enjoy it and doesn't find it too hard. My only complaint is that the game does at points leave you wondering where to go next.

This is a remake of the Game Boy version and it really deserved to be re-made. It is a fantastic game. They kept it almost exactly like the original but improved on a few things slightly! Overall it is a 5 star game and worth being in anyones Switch collection.

so much fun! I never played the original but I love this game for the switch.

Graphics are good , fun for all ages . Recommend it

This remake is gorgeous! It plays almost exactly like the original game boy game from the 90s and has plenty of much-needed Quality-of-Life improvements. Play this game if you haven't, it's a great experience for Zelda fans and adventure fans alike
