Another great Zelda game for the books. I know it's a remake but since I have never played the original I was totally stoked to grab this puppy and I was not disappointed. Great graphics on the new switch and an HDTV. This game is so fun, the puzzles are challenging enough but not too much that you want to throw your controller. Fun and nostalgic like the original games. Don't get me wrong I love BOTW but this is a great blast from the past in an improved package. If you love classic Zelda games you will not be dissappointed. I mean who wouldn't want to spend hours chopping grass and getting coins! LOL

Just like the classic one I love when I was kid. There was a drop of FPS here and there but not much to really ruin the game. Five stars all the way.

I love all the Zelda games. This one is shorter than some, and it is a rerelease of a different system game. Do your research if those bother you.

I never played the original Link's Awakening, so I'm not sure how close this remake comes to the story and gameplay of the original. I didn't even read any reviews of the game before purchasing. I think the graphic style is very unique and 'fun'. The gameplay somewhat reminds me of when games were a little simpler. I actually had a lot more fun with the game than I anticipated. There are all kinds of optional special items you can get that help you throughout the rest of the game. Overall, I found it to be an addicting game that I couldn't put down until I beat it, and I enjoyed the entire experience.

Having played the original for GameBoy (Color), this is an excellent modernization on the classic game. There's definitely some new twists and additions to the game, what with creating your own dungeons. There are some changes from the base game that are reflected in the modernization to accommodate gameplay, but that helps break the "I know where everything is" to "I know where most of everything is now where the heck is the rest."

Nintendo shows you don’t have to have 4K graphics and 3D realism to make a great, fun game. I hope they continue to make more installments of this franchise forever!

Love the game! Great remake by Nintendo and a great game to add to any Switch.

Do you like GameBoy games? Because this is a remake of a really good Zelda game board game that was made a few decades ago! One of my favorites

Very fun and engaging game. It brings back great memories of when I purchased Zelda on the 16-bit SNES in the 1990s, as this game is the same style, but with modern graphics. For being such a simple game in terms of graphics, the game will slow down when there are too many characters and action on the screen, similar to the CPU processing slowness of the SNES- how ironic! Overall, this bogging down can be overlooked, as the wonderful qualities of the fun game prevail!

This game is incredible. Brings back all my childhood memories. I loved playing the old and I still love playing this. Fantastic re-make of this Game Boy classic.

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

If you played this on GB, you know what you're getting into. This remake has gorgeous visuals, a great soundtrack, and a spanning overworld instead of the grid-based original. You'll run into frame rate hiccups whenever you enter a new area, but it stabilizes pretty quickly. It's one of the shorter Zeldas, but it's a great ride while it lasts.

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

Anyone who has played a 16 bit Legend of Zelda game will definitely enjoy this game. The game is very stylized, but still gets you back In the top down mindset.

You most likely know that this is a remake (from the ground up) game of the same name for the game boy. I played the original back in the day when I was in elementary school and tbh, that old version does hold up today, but this is a fantastic revision which holds all the stuff that made the original great. The Zelda franchise is one of those franchises were nearly every game (except those CDI games) is gold and this one is no different. If you are new to the series or a returning fan, this is a great buy. It's super fun.

Great game. Classic 2D Zelda feel with modern looks. Don't expect BotW, but it is still a great experience. Easy to pickup and put down.

As I was playing through this game I came to the realization that the original gameboy version was the first game I ever owned. I had no idea what I was doing back then and never even got passed the first dungeon, but I still played it for hours just wandering around the small bit of map I had available to me. It’s kind of amazing going back to this 20+ years later and finally getting to explore this world. I love the update and the gameplay holds up fantastically.

Never played this game before but the updated graphics are awesome. Love Zelda and had been waiting to get my hands on this remake!!

This is my favorite 2D Zelda game. It's relatively short, but oh so sweet. My only complaint is the sometimes subpar performance, but that's rarely an issue.

This is a fantastic remake, worth every penny. It gives a lot of hope for future remakes of the Zelda series. This took away nothing from the original game and added a lot of style that made it feel even better. The only negative is the dropped frame rate from time to time. Perhaps due to a rush to get this complete. Hoping this gets fixed in an update, or at least in the next remake. However this doesn't ruin the game or make it unplayable in anyway. Loved this game, one of the few games this year I've wanted to sit down and play start to finish 100% of the collectables.
