Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great game and even better on NS2! Graphics are greatly improved.

A game that needs no further introduction. Bought this on sale for $20 off, worths every penny. Length of game is not long, I spent around 12 hours, if you prefer some games that you spend hundreds of hours on, this might not be for you.

Never played the original so this was new for me. Had lots of fun and enjoyed it with my kids.

This is perhaps the zaniest Zelda game in existence (yes, including the Philips CD-I games!) I can only imagine the design process at the time. I feel like examples would spoil the surprise, but there are a lot of cameos in this game that you would not expect. The story is typically light fare, but not what you're expecting out of a Zelda game. While the game is gorgeous to look at (not wholly unlike Animal Crossing, but with a wax/claymation slant,) the frame rate struggles just about the entire time.

The Legend of Zelda for Nintendo is a timeless classic that beautifully captures the essence of adventure and discovery. Playing this game now with my young son, I am reminded of the magic that video games can bring. Seeing his eyes light up as he embarks on his own heroic journey, just as I did years ago, makes the experience all the more special.

He has played Zelda before and was so excited to get the new game. He sat down and completed all of his homework and did the writing very well, with the understanding that he would get the game if he behaved, he is thrilled, and said it has some challenging tasks to complete.

A fun gameboy game lovingly remade on switch with a cute art style and a phenomenal soundtrack

A fun port of an 8-bit classic that brings the 8-bit feel to the modern world. Classic Zelda with a great soundtrack to boot.

I love Link's Awakening. It's a great Zelda title. That being said, I'm not hugely into or even remotely a fan of chibi art style so that was a little disappointing initially. I did get over it and I am endeared to the remake now. The only thing I'm not super fond of is the 30fps cap and the lackluster performance at times. A great remake that could have been better.

Excellent remake of an already excellent game. I am glad to see games like this getting a facelift and hope to see more in the future. A great game with hours of fun involved. Its similar to the snes game a link to the past.

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.

Really good remake of the original GameBoy game. Nostalgic and fun.

I absolutely love the legend of Zelda franchise. Finding the game and setting it up was very easy. The employees were very positive and friendly.

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.

My son loved it! Played it over and over for the days he was visiting WA. Used his Switch game to the big TV

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.

So fun to play from Zelda’s side! Definitely a learning curve but by the end we got the hang of it!

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.

I have not played this one yet but I'm sure it's easier then the other Zelda games.

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.
