    Link's Awakening is over 20 years old, yet by simply adding a beautiful new art style and leaving the game as is, it is still fantastic. It's a classic and the switch version is the absolute best way to play this game

    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.

    Incredible game, albeit too short.

    The Link’s Awakening remastering brings everything from the original Game Boy game and makes it better. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have much of anything that the original didn’t have, meaning no new dungeons or endgame content. Newcomers are certain to spend more time in their first play through than us veterans that remember most of the puzzles, but the quality and nostalgia alone are more than enough to justify the price tag.

    If you played the original Game Boy release, be prepared for a flood of nostalgia. While this isn’t the longest Zelda game, it scratches the dungeon-puzzle itch and deserves a place in your collection!

    The game itself is wonderful. Brought me back to the game I played on my Gameboy as a child and wonderfully redone for the modern Switch console. Leaves something to be desired performance-wise, which is very unlike most first-party Nintendo titles. When you change areas, the FPS drops pretty heavily and pulls you out of the immersion. Nothing gamebreaking and would still recommend. Hopefully it can be patched to fix.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Whimsical Zelda entry

    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.
