Links Awakening is a reboot of a Gameboy Zelda game that I missed the first time. So I can’t compare it to the original. What I can say is it’s a lot of fun. It’s much different from the other Zelda game on switch Breath of the Wild. This game seems cuter and friendlier then BotW. Links Awakening reminds me a lot of the fun I had playing Zelda Link to the Past many years ago. Anyway I recommend this game a hope that Nintendo will dig up more classics Zelda games for the switch.

Its one of my favorite games ever modernized in all the right ways. Highly recommended.

Although this is a remake Nintendo took their time and designed it from the ground up. Great game for all Zelda fans!

Super easy to learn once you get the hang of it. I’m new to the switch so it was a nice game to practice and learn on

Excellent game. I keep playing it after finish it several times. I think everyone should try it.

My 5 yr old plays this and it’s easy to play and follow the story mode for him. Great adventure building game for him.

Awesome game! Never played the original and this Switch version is awesome play story and colorful characters just awesome! Nintendo is bringing fun to play with Switch console and light portability! It’s about gameplay not just about power like PlayStation and Xbox! And own them as well but the Switch and switch lite is taking over.

My husband loves it. I've been hearing about that goofy egg/not-an-egg for a few weeks now. 10/10, would recommend.

Game has wonderful visuals. Fun typical top down Zelda game with some side scrolling rooms. Some of the puzzles are quite difficult. Personally I would recommend this game to anyone old enough to use google to look up walkthrough's for some of the levels. Can't wait to beat the game! Definitely get this game if you are looking for a puzzle type, singleplayer, adventure game and don't mind the top down style gameplay.

Link’s Awakening has been remade from the ground up with beautifully detailed toy-like visuals, and some new features such as the dungeon “creator”. Unfortunately there just isn’t enough new content to justify the $60 price tag of this remade Gameboy game. When I heard about the dungeon editor, I got pretty excited thinking it may be a Mario-Maker-esque experience that I could share with friends and would add onto the overall replayability of the game. Instead of a full editor, players unlock already-full dungeon rooms that you can place together like a puzzle. Sharing is limited to saving your “building block puzzle dungeon” to an amiibo, and scanning it on a friend’s switch. Just a little disappointing. Link’s Awakening for Switch is definitely worth a play, especially if you’ve never played the original, but keep in mind the game is quite short and low on content for the price you pay.

This was a great Zelda game when it originally came out. Even better now, especially if you have not played it before. Enjoy!

Brings back a classic with a beautiful twist! It’s one of the best remakes of any game ever made. Totally worth the purchase!

Grandson has played it for about 2 weeks and enjoys it a lot. Excellent price and tons of fun for him! Thanks

We always enjoyed the original games of Zelda. We played them from the very beginning with my children and friends and now we play Zelda with the grandchildren. This will not disappoint game fans of any age. Wasn’t sure what to expect with the our new Switch but everything about this game was fun and exciting to play. From age 6 to age 63 we are all challenged with this game. An excellent game yo enjoy with all your family members. We are enjoying the color, speed and challenging levels.

FUN! My brother loves to play his games! He was excited to get a different Zelda

The game looks fantastic and the gameplay is simple yet fun. However, It is far too easy and linear. There is no real challenge to it and no need to really collect anything outside of what the dungeons offer (or required weapons) in order to beat it. Also, The difficult curve oddly ramps up in the last 2 dungeons while every other one before it was a cakewalk. I wish they'd done a better job at progressively making each one harder and harder.

This is a great and faithful remake of one of the best Zelda titles ever put out by Nintendo. I was happily surprised that the game comes with a Master Mode with no heart drops, which makes it a bit more fun and challenging since I've played through the original GB version several times. Even though I was familiar with the game already, this new version is still worth a playthrough, despite the dungeon builder feature being garbage.

This is a must have for any fan of the Link/Zelda series. It is a beautiful remake with some added features. 100% recommend.

Bought as a Christmas gift for my son so he hasn’t payed it but requested it as he loves the Zelda games.

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening for the Nintendo Switch is one of the best games available on the Switch. Great care was taken upgrading the graphics to a new style that really helps the world come alive. It’s a classic RPG that has been improved with minor tweaks. The story and puzzles are still great. Endless hours are possible if you complete all the side quests or just decide to fish the day away at the pond at Mage Village. This game is a must have for Switch players of all ages!
