This is a remake of the Gameboy game. I never played the original, so this was a great way to experience the game.

This game is so nostalgic. I have been playing a link to the past recently so this was perfect! It's so much fun.

I grew up playing the original Gameboy version of Links Awakening. This remake does more than justice to the original. It's a great entry both for newcomers and veterans of the Zelda franchise. The art style is very charming and quite fitting for this adventure. The game moves forward at a fast pace, which makes the 12-15 hours it takes to beat it fly by. Despite the games short duration, I highly recommend it for Switch owners hungry for more adventures with Link!

Good game. It completes very quickly. Recommended to those who like Zelda.

my son loved this game. He still picks it up and plays it and its been quite some time since purchasing

I remember playing this with my friend, I would go thru everything and he'd fight the bosses, than there was the game genie, and I was able to beat everything cuz well you couldn't die. No game genie here, but so far I've beaten 4 bosses, never got that far in the OS game. The graphics are so much better too, like it better than the Ocarina of time where'd I'd go behind something and get beaten up by something I couldn't see until the view changed.

It’s links awakening with updated mechanics and graphics. Great play and you should know what you’re getting into

I don't really play role playing fantasy games. But I gave this a try since I got it on sale on Black Friday for $40. The game is actually good, feels like a nice story you are playing. Nice retro feel. Not bad, I am getting into it. Wish though that Nintendo games were more lower price on Black Friday like playstation games that fall down to $20-$25 on Black Friday. Ohh well.

This game is really good! Reminds me of the old game. Continue to have fun playing this with my son.

This game was an amazing return to Koholint Island and is a master class in 2D Zelda. The updated style works incredibly well for this entry. Absolutely recommend this game

A classic must have game for your switch collection, i will admit the game is kinda short but I do love it!

Finally finished this game so I can give an honest review....ITS AMAZING. It’s a Zelda game that looks very interesting from its top side view & it’s animated graphics. It was a pleasure to play. I got stuck in 2 places that required me to look up some hints online. If you love zelda & the zeldaverse then you probably already played this. If you never played a zelda game this would be fine to start on. Enjoy.

Brings me back to my old days when I first played Zelda.

Great game! My grandson is loving it!! He says the best game Ever!

My all time favorite Zelda game has been remade, and it is incredible. A must own must play for any Zelda fan!!!

Link’s Awakening continues the outstanding Zelda series. Game play easy and fun.

Loved the classic, and loving this remake. Perfect for newcomers and long-time fans.

I’m happy with the game, but I think it’s important for buyers to know that it’s a little underwhelming if you’re not a die hard fan of the pre-Breath of the Wild titles. All in all, it’s a really fun little game that feels very nostalgic.

In the quest for more Zelda as we wait not so patiently for more BoTW.... we turn to this lovely and delightful remake of Links Awakening. In short-buy it. In slightly less short- it’s adorable and cute with lots of fun to be had. Though shorter than BoTW and not as open play, it is a great way to spend an evening solving classic Zelda puzzles. 10/10 would recommend...and play again......*goes off to discover more Easter eggs*

This is pretty much a 1-1 remake of the original GameBoy game (it even includes the secret Color Dungeon of the GameBoy Color version), only with completely revamped, high-resolution visuals. The aesthetic is amazing, like a 3D diorama. While it's NOWHERE near as big or deep as Breath of the Wild, it's still a sizeable adventure (probably at least 20 hours if you want to find and unlock everything) and a great introduction to 2D Zelda games for younger gamers.
