    My 8 and 39 year olds are having a blast. Looks amazing on 4k tv. The kids call it a vintage game? I can't say much else for the gameplay, sorry. Overall, the 8 year old and the 39 year old both love it.

    Great old school Zelda remake

    I never played the original game on the Game Boy and was excited to play this old school top down adventure. It did not disappoint. It reminded me a lot of A Link to the Past but quirky and different. My only complaint would be there was some lag and slow down in the game at times when too many enemies were on the screen. But overall a super fun and smile-inducing game.

    Great product. Great for younger kids. The strategy of the game is impeccable. Links and awakens your brain and allows you to become a legend just like Zelda!

    Plays well on the Switch 2. Really enjoying some of the smoothness of the game. Hard to compare because I lose all my beloved Zelda games and console in a fire. But as I am playing the story is coming back to me. I would recommend. Hope to find more Zelda titles.

    Remake of one of the best handheld games ever made

    It is a remake of one of the best handheld games ever made. It runs a little crap on the Switch 1. I hear it runs better on the Switch 2 with resolution upgrades and HDR support. Regardless, it is one of my most loved Switch games.

    I used to play the heck out of this on the original Game Boy, and I remember it being SO hard but then again I was like 8 years old. Coming back to this game totally remade I was having flash backs. It was reliving my 8 year old self and remembering all of those puzzles that frustrated me. This is a great game for any Zelda fan!

    I absolutely love it. I played the original and DX version, and while this game essentially the exact same game, the slight changes and graphics made this an awesome experience! Best Buy made my experience as easy as can be.

    Very fun Zelda game for the Switch; the remake holds up to the original, and improves upon it greatly to make it perfect for Link's Awakening veterans and new fans alike, with gorgeous graphical design and an outstanding soundtrack making it amazing despite some minor performance hiccups. Highly recommended overall.

    Sure there are frame drops at points, but they weren't overbearing or make the experience lose its charm. I recall playing the original on the first gameboy, and I would say this upgrade is amazing. Well worth the money and really love the graphics for it. A must own for sure.

    Older generation Nintendo players will know Link's Awakening from the original Gameboy. This is an awesome remake that brings yet another unique art style to the Zelda franchise. Best of all, both older and younger players will appreciate this epic game for the Switch!

    Played the original gameboy in the 1990s as a child. Played the gamboy colored version as well. && now we are revisiting to the modern updated version of links awakening. Blown away by the animations, bringing back the feels and the relationship I had with the zelda game. The magic is still there, even better. Thank you, Nintendo & Best Buy.

    Updates the game to modern standards, but still possesses the charm of the original. It really takes me back to my childhood. Even better on the Switch 2!
