    Super fun entry to the Zelda series. Good for new Zelda fans and still a challenge for seasoned Zelda players.

    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.

    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.

    This had to be one of my first additions to my Switch library. I love the classic Zelda games and this adds the nostalgia of the classics with some modern flair. Highly recommended!

    I never played the original, so this was entirely new to me. However, it seems to struggle on the switch hardware as if it's a port or something. Noticable slowdown, framerates and rendering issues.

    A Beautiful Re-imagining of a '90s Classic

    My time spent with The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for Nintendo Switch has been a great amount of fun. The original on the GameBoy was my first ever Zelda game and what this HD Switch remake offers is what I pictured in my mind as a kid. Taking the nostalgia goggles off, there's nothing too spectacular going on here, it's just a solid "2.5-D" Zelda game with overall crisp gameplay (disregarding minor frame-rate hiccups in high-activity areas), a familiar story, and a compelling art style. If you're a fan of adventure games, you'll enjoy this one!

    While the graphics of this don’t fit your typical Zelda game, the story line is next to none! Not too easy, but not too challenging. Hours of action-packed fun for people of ALL ages!

    It was my first Zelda game I played back in 1994 for my Gameboy, nice to play it back with super nice graphics. The only down side is the price. But I didn't even think it twice to buy it.
