Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a beautiful adaptation of the original Link's Awakening for the Gameboy. Overall, this is a good game and a pretty faithful remake. Unfortunately, Nintendo put this game out on the heels of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which is a modern, robust, and vastly more fleshed out game. Anyone picking up Link's Awakening needs to understand that they are not getting that but rather a gorgeous rendering of a world that could not be done justice originally in 1993 both in terms of graphics and game design.

Fun game for the entire family. For those who like the older sytle adventure games with no gore.... have fun

Playing Link's Awakening brings a pure joy that I haven't encountered often in games. While it is definitely smaller in scale than other Zelda titles such as Breath of the Wild, there is plenty to have fun and interact with. The game's art style and music are additional positives. However, the only problems that have occurred have been a brief drop in frame rate (two years after release) and a largely inconsequential dungeon builder.

My 8yo loves this game. He did manage to finish it over the quarantine weekend though so it’s shorter than the previous release.

Anything with Zelda series is a great buy. I never got to play this on the gameboy color and excited to play this finally. Great update

Firstly, my biggest beef with this game is that it's too short. Not much can be done about that given it's origin as a gameboy game almost ~25yrs ago. It's a very beautiful game with clean crisp graphics. The gameplay is what you'd expect and the controls are pretty quick and accurate (not slidy/sloppy). That said, I found the combination use of running and jumping (Dashing with the boots and then using the feather to jump) was not easy to time right. I really enjoyed playing it and am now guiding my kids through it.

Wonderful game, very linear and easier for younger players.

Love this game reminds me of the original a lot and very colorful full of vibrant characters and lots of fun definitely recommend : )

I know it’s blasphemy on the internet but I did not like Breath of The Wild very much, luckily this has satiated my desire for a Zelda game instead, echoing a simpler time in the franchise that’s more arcadey for sure. If you find yourself looking for something old school give this a try.

Feel good, old school vibe, and is challenging. Great for long time gamers, young/starters that looking for a not so violent game, and of course the tri-force crew must have this. Short map, levels progress steadily, and can figure most things out with minimal assistance.

Cartoonish graphics to contrast with breath of the wild or Tears. Fun change of pace.

It’s always great playing a fan favorite. The game is just as fun as I imagined it would be!

I have always been Zelda fan, and this was my first time playing this title. Love the graphics and the game play.

I just got it and I waited a while since I work so much, I do love the gameplay and overall a game to have!

This game is cute and adorable. Sort of a new style take on A Link to the Past.

It's a great game and still feels fresh years letter. It's really a great change of pace from current games. Love it.

Fun game even if you havent played the original gameboy version. Although short and fun, is very easy to pick up and take on the go.

Excellent recreation of a classic. I highly recommend this, especially if you can find it at a discounted price.

What is better than a classic 2-D Legend of Zelda adventure. Never played the original but really enjoyed this
