Fun and charming game. Great for nostalgic adults and kids experiencing for the first time

Got this as a gift for my grandson. Haven’t given it to him yet, but the whole cot will know when I do because he’ll scream a thank you.

This game is an amazing take on a classic. It is a bit short but what it lacks in quantity it makes up for in quality. I've spend hours already exploring it's charming world. Highly recommend.

All I have to say is that this game has: VERY UPBEAT, STEREOTYPICAL AND HILARIOUS CHARACTERS , THE STORYLINE MAKES SO MUCH SENSE AND ITS SOO CREATIVE, THE DUNGEONS ARE TRICKY BUT ONCE YOU FINISH THEM U FEEL LIKE YOU GOT A WORLD RECORD OR SOMETHING SMH, AND LASTLY THE BOSSES ARENT THESE BOSSES WITH 3000 HEARTS, THEY CAN BE EASILY BEAT IF YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO. the game require big gaming skills and you have to be really smart to beat this.

I absolutely love this game. It combines the old with the new. Definitely has the feel of the old school game I played as a kid, but holds my interests with new challenges and adventures.

I have played the original game for the Gameboy back in the day and bought it on the 3DS when it came out for virtual console. I have always liked playing the game but never finished it. Now with this release of the game for the Switch, it made me want to fully complete it more than ever. Plays pretty much the same as the original with some slight tweaks. The game looks gorgeous with the new art style used and makes replaying this game feel more unique. It is not a super long game but it doesn't need to be. This one of the best 2d Zelda games behind A Link between Worlds and a Link to the Past. (though I have not played it yet) I highly recommend the game for anyone that loves The Legend of Zelda and I recommend the game as well for anyone that hasn't played a Zelda game.

This remake not only looks amazing but is full of improvements that make this classic shine

A new Zelda is ALWAYS cause for celebration- this is no exception. Though a remake of a classic, the fresh coat of paint is nice. Just exudes charm!

My son and daughter already played the other Zelda game(s). So they had to have this one. It didn't disappoint. They are hooked. Very handy during the COVID-19 lockdown.

From the cute art style to the fun gameplay, definitely one of my favorite Zelda games. Glad I was able to snag this while on sale.

This game is great and fills older gamers with nostalgia. Young kids will also enjoy the cute aesthetics of the world/characters. This game wont dissapoint.

I haven’t played a Zelda game like this before. I know it’s a remake. So that aside it is good I love the art work if it. It’s fun and can be challenging which keeps me playing.

Great Game, so much fun and nostalgia! I vaguely remember playing this on Gameboy but it is so much better on the big screen.

I never played the original, this is a very entertaining game. Maybe not as long as others, but it’s essentially a port of a constrained earlier game, So I’ll let it slide. The value may not be there from that perspective, but If you’rea LoZ fan, you’ll find this to be a great addition. I’d wager for parents looking for pressies, this is an approachable game for an average 9/10 year old and beyond and maybe an active gamer as young as 8.

There are a lot of mixed reviews out there and it really all depends on the experience the players had in the past with the original. This is a square for square remake of the original. It has a beautiful updated look, excellent controller mechanic improvements and a few extras there weren't in the original. I loved playing this game on Gameboy and to play this on Switch just took me back to those gameboy days albeit with a completely updated/modern feel! Definitely worth the purchase even at full price. One of the best in the Zelda Franchise in my opinion.

Interesting new take on the familiar Zelda gameplay but nonetheless a must have for one’s collection

I’ve been a fan of Zelda games since the original released for the NES. My personal favorite in the series is A Link to the Past and you can bet I spent a lot of time playing that game. I’m a huge fan of the top down versions of these games because there’s so much character and attention to detail with all of the maps. I never got around to playing Link’s Awakening when it released on the gameboy because I didn’t believe a huge sprawling world would be represented well on the portable format. I was wrong. Enter Link’s Awakening for the Switch! A top down Zelda that follows the same formula I grew to love with the original and A Link to the Past with a fresh coat of paint! The music is wonderful, the graphics are beautiful and the secrets are aplenty! There are exclusive dungeons that have unique items in each of them that allow you to access different areas and huge bosses that are fun to battle. The over world map is detailed enough to plan where you need to go and I really like having the ability to leave markers for yourself to reference later if you come across a potential secret you don’t have access to. It’s a neat and tidy package that begs to be opened. With glowing praise there will always be cons and the issues I have with the game aren’t gamebreaking but rather minor annoyances. You are forced to use the analog rather than the dpad which imo felt more suited to this game and the frame rate is all over the place while exiting and entering buildings and caves. The game also isn’t very long either. My gametime clocked in at just under 25 hours which for a Zelda game is pretty low. The story is also a little shallow as well. My issues aside this game is absolutely worth playing if you’ve never experienced it before. I think $60 is a bit steep for the amount of game you get here but it’s Zelda in it’s finest format and that alone should warrant a purchase from the people that appreciate the format.

Bought this game for my kids. They all really enjoyed it.

Excellent remake of a classic Zelda game. It was nice playing this in HD. Geat game, but not the longest adventure. Must have for Zelda fans

Absolutely brings me back to that original Zelda on the first nintendo. You will not be disappointed for the folks that have nostalgia here.
