    Bought this game as a present for someone who loved the original game on Gameboy. Very cute game, and easy to play for all ages/skill levels. Highly recommend for any Zelda fan.

    Great game! Hours and hours of enjoyment. My five year old gets frustrated at times because he gets stuck but ultimately figured it out. Game that makes you think and not for those who quit easy

    I loved every moment of this classic game. Seeing this game remade and reworked onto the Nintendo Switch was a treat. If you're a massive Zelda fan like me then you need this on your shelf.

    I never got to play the original LInk's Awakening, but I did play Link's Awakening DX, and this game captures the magic from that game perfectly! It's amazing to see this game available with the technology of today!

    I have thoroughly enjoyed this game, so much! It had been a long time since I've played the original Link's Awakening. So playing this game again but in 3D style was both a blast from the past and a new experience.

    I played the original Zelda, what? Thirty years ago? I bought this and the nostalgia was almost as fun as the gameplay. It brought me right back and I had a tremendous amount of fun playing this.

    Fun port of an older game. It’s been fun showing my girls a game I loved when I was their age and seeing them fall in love with Zelda and Link like I did.

    What an epic and amazing remake. Visually a masterpiece and being able to replay the story is fun. Now with that being said; I feel the game is a must play for anyone who hasn't already played Links Awakening. On the other hand if you have already beaten the game in another version like I did when. I was a kid (black and white Gameboy) then you will probably not be challenged enough, and like myself... I still remembered where to get the next item and the next maze key, so I breezed through the game in about 9-10 hours. So for veteran players you might want to rent or wait till the game comes down in price. And for new Links Awakening players enjoy the story and guessing game of finding items and keys and ways into the mazes.

    The redesign of this classic game looks amazing. Try to wait for a deal though since the amount of new content for a reworked Gameboy game feels a little short of a full price tag.

    I really enjoyed playing this game. It is like a mix of old Zelda with Mario. However , have in mind that is a short easy game and not like Breath of the Wild. But is good for a fun time.

    This is a great remake that retains the original charm but has a few quality of life improvements that really elevate it. It is a tad on the short side but that is to be expected of a Gameboy remake.
