Customer Ratings & Reviews

Link's Awakening always had a bunch of ideas and story crammed inside its humble roots. Now with this Nintendo Switch version it live in a whole new way. This is for fans of the original or those picking it up for the first time.

A must-played game for everyone who loved the original Link's Awakening for the Gameboy, and also those new! Great puzzles, not too difficult but still challenging. Nice picture and music.

Great game. All the Nintendo charm you and/or the kiddo can handle. Obviously don't be expecting Soul's-like difficulty, but the gameplay is certainly engaging enough.

This video game was awesome! It was truly worth it!

This is an excellent little game. If you are a returning zelda gamer or new comer to Zelda game you will enjoy a tight compact game where you are not overwhelmed like the open world games of today. The game has a map but often not needed but very nice to have when you get stuck on some puzzles or when you are learning to use magic dust. I only made it to second boss but I've been enjoying it. I don't know how many hour this game takes to complete. I don't really care about that because I have game that have 100s of hours and might play 5. This is a fun game to play and finish even more so if you happen to be like me and rarely finish most games. Enjoy! I also enjoy to side scrolling parts.

I loved the original, color dx version, and now this AMAZING new art style. One of the best and underrated Zelda games of all time. Plus the dungeon builder is a fun new mode that adds some replay value.

Fun game for fans of the original version! It's easy to play and looks great on the Switch or Switch 2!

Link's Awakening allows today's gamer to experience the greatness of our sword wielding hero on the Switch. Thank you Nintendo for this fabulous remake of a classic. This is the definitive version.

This game is pure nostalgic to the 90’s when I played it on my GameBoy! The gameplay is very similar the story, it’s a masterpiece that my generation and new one should be play. Great introduction for new young zelda fans.

I love this game, can’t put it down. I like this better than breath of the wild because simpler and just more fun and vibrant, playful. Graphics look great, they did a wonderful job updating this classic Game Boy title!!!

The graphics are beautiful and the music is the same from the original Zelda game brings you right back to the 80’s!! Too adorable love playing it puzzles are great too a challenge and you can fish too super cool!!

This is a true remake from the orignal on the Gameboy, screen from screen its a completely redone to a beautiful remake pixel by pixel. If you have or have not played the original, you must play this "lost" Zelda title.

Great game ! Walked in and picked up in 5 minutes !!

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

I’m gonna say this is the first top down TLOZ game i have beaten... ive played a link between worlds and a link to the last but have never beat them. anywho my thoughts the games art style cute as heck. it really makes it stand out amongst the other top down TLOZ games. i played this on my switch lite so handheld only. it looked beautiful, no frame rate drop issues that i could say took away from the experience. Now the story is also refreshing compared to majority of the zelda games. Instead of hyrule you’re in koholint island. Instead of saving the princess you’re waking a fish up???? from his dream??!? which is the island itself???? and spoiler alert, you wake him up and literally make everyone you interacted with in the island cease to exist??!?? anyway i put a lil over 15 hours in this game and i didn’t even 100% it! the dungeons were good fun nothing too difficult but i did take my time on the last two. the boss fights were a little too easy in my opinion, the final boss was fun and tricky. just wish the others were a lil more like that. ANOTHER BIG ISSUE in my opinion was the fact that you could only have 2 items equipped at a time!! what is this?!?! this isn’t the gameboy! it was annoying and took out of the gameplay having to pause and change items every time i wanted to use a bomb. the switch has more than enough buttons to map at least 4 items. Or even do shovel night and switch between them with L and R.! That being said i still really enjoyed this game. rate: uhhh idk if i m gonna do number ratings but i’d give it a B HAHAHA THATS LETTER id give it like a 7.5

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

The remake is a wonderful homage to an amazingly classic Zelda game. Pros - It plays great Wonderful story Challenging (but not too much) puzzles. It looks lovely and a bit cute. While I was initially taken a bit aback, it does fit the charm of this title specifically. Cons - A bit of slowdown in certain areas (I am hopeful for a patch) Some of the puzzles are a bit tedious to find the answers to. Overall highly recommended!

I played this game a ton when I was a kid on the original GameBoy and this is the perfect upgrade to it. Gameplay, visuals, music, everything about it is top quality that you would expect from Nintendo.

Zelda series does it again, this time bringing back old school visual look and feel. Not old, but rather updated and clean. The story is always the best part of Zelda but it helps to have fun visuals.

This is a great game. I never played the original but the art style in this game really made it an overal fun experience.
