This Zelda remaster is a blast to the past, however, was modern enough to keep me interested. The graphics where great and the storyline was rather interesting. Great game overall and I would recommend it to anyone looking for adventurous games.

It’s a fun game for all ages. I generally play it on mute while I listen to a podcast. I had to use a walkthrough once to figure out a dungeon, but otherwise the puzzles are at the right level of challenge for the casual player like me.

It’s an awesome, fun game! I definitely like the different style which makes it wayyyy different than Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

If you played the original you will love the remake, and even if you didn't I still highly recommend getting it!

An excellent remake to a Gameboy classic. A faithful remake that may be a little easy for those who played the gameboy version extensively, but a must have for everyone, including those who are playing for the first time.

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.

Admittedly, I have always wanted to play a Zelda game, but never have before this one. From the first time I put this on, I was obsessed. The art style, the music, the gameplay -- all on point!

This remake of Link's Awakening is practically like the original, just in a completely different artstyle. While it's not a long game, it's a classic Zelda game at its core and it's clear that the remake had a lot of love and effort put into it.

Obviously a remake, but a nice solid classic Zelda game. I don't love the new dungeon builder but the rest of the game was very fun to play through and complete.

This is an excellent updated version of the classic Game Boy game for the Switch! If you loved it on that platform then you will love it on the Switch. Classic Zelda story with puzzles, adventure, quests, dungeons & battling enemies & bosses.

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.

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.

The Legend of Zelda for Nintendo is a timeless classic that beautifully captures the essence of adventure and discovery. Playing this game now with my young son, I am reminded of the magic that video games can bring. Seeing his eyes light up as he embarks on his own heroic journey, just as I did years ago, makes the experience all the more special.

This game looks amazing but does suffer from some frame drops and also I do not care for the blurry edges of the screen. This is meant to be a artistic choice I guess but it takes away from the overall great look of the game I think...

This game is so visually pleasing. I love the music too. Legend of Zelda games never fail me. They are always interesting challenges in their games that make the game fun. I reccomend if you're a fan of hack and slash and puzzles.

This game is beautiful. From the artwork to the gameplay, Link’s Awakening does not disappoint. The game is not super challenging but is very fulfilling and is a great game to introduce someone to gaming. I highly recommend this item!

I wish they had more Zelda games like this - I mean, just keep pumping these out and I will buy them. So much fun, good story and graphics, etc. I really hope they redo other Zelda's in this same format for Switch.

Great graphics, engaging game play. This redone classic is fun to play--even though the puzzles are 2D, it has the right look and feel. Not as challenging as modern Zelda games, this one is right for the whole family.

Not much else to say, the cartoonish graphic style was an excellent choice because its timeless art but made even better with the updated music and custom dungeon mode, it can be played for the next eternity and it'll never be outdated

The first was a very good game, but this one is even better. The art style/graphics are outstanding. I love how Nintendo is able to pull out this kind of look on the Switch. I won't say it is my favorite game, but is easy to recommend.
