    This game is so fun but I do find myself confused and having to go to YouTube but I am a first time gamer and I definitely do enjoy the game’s different puzzles

    This game was fun on the gb... I'm old enough to know for real! What a tremendous job Nintendo did to breathe new life into an already amazing adventure. The graphics are beyond beautiful and the rewritten musical scores will have you tapping your toes and humming them.

    1993 was a very long time ago so I welcomed this remake. Link of course looks different but the top-down gameplay is all that matters. Solid remake.

    ...if a bit short and overpriced. Don't get me wrong, this is the DEFINITIVE way to play this class Zelda title. The quality of life improves to gameplay, the reimagined soundtrack, and the wonderfully charming art style all feel right at home. However, the comparatively short length, lack of side objectives, or post-game content, make this a hard sell at $60. If you're a hardcore Zelda fan, chances are you've already bought this game. However, if you're on the fence, wait for a sub-$40 price point.

    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.

    I've been on the market for a Nintendo Switch for the past 2 years, but I've been hesitant/on the fence about it because of the lofty $300 price tag. However, this past year, with the release of Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening, I just had to relive the experience that I once had way back when I played this game on the Nintendo Gameboy. So this past Black Friday, I decided to just go for it. This game is awesome! It is just as fun as the original, just the way I remembered it! However, with regards to the console, I have other things to say. After reading product reviews and other blogs, I quickly came to realize that Nintendo had just recently released an updated Switch with better hardware. And by hardware, I mean the battery. The original model included a battery which held a charge for 2.5-6.5 hours. The game system that comes with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, is likely that original model. The newer model is the exact same switch, from what I can tell, however it comes with a better battery. The newer batter can hold a charge from 4.5-9 hours. The unfortunate thing regarding the newer model is that currently, it does not come with a game. But, I decided to forgo getting a free game with a worse battery and instead purchased the new model. The important thing to know when shopping for a Switch is that the outside packaging (box) doesn't tell you which battery you are getting. So if you just grab one off the shelf, you won't know just by looking at the box if it is the old model or the new model. However, from what I have read online, you are able to tell based on the first 3 letters of the serial number. On the bottom of the box, locate the serial number. For the newer battery, look for the serial number that starts with XKW (not XAW). XAW is the old model, while XKW is the new model. Additionally, if you are buying an open box/used switch, you can tell which model you are getting based on the MOD number on the back of the unit. When looking at the back, look for where it says MOD, if you want the newer model, you want the HAC-001(-01) model. If it says the MOD is HAC-001, that is the older model. While you are essentially getting a discount by purchasing a Nintendo Switch with a game included at the same price as a Switch without a game, I personally think it's much better to get a console which comes with a longer battery charge.

    Awesome game. Well designed with amazing story. Never played the original or dx versions which made this game all the more exciting. It's not a long game by any means but extremely enjoyable. I would recommend it to anyone who owns a switch.

    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.
