    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.

    My first time ever playing this and it was a blast. I didn't think I would like the art style but it quickly grew on me and somehow made me nostalgic by how faithful it feels as a portable gaming experience.

    Played the original gameboy in the 1990s as a child. Played the gamboy colored version as well. && now we are revisiting to the modern updated version of links awakening. Blown away by the animations, bringing back the feels and the relationship I had with the zelda game. The magic is still there, even better. Thank you, Nintendo & Best Buy.

    Great game. Beautiful art style. This is a remake of a game that was made in the 90s updated well by Nintendo. If this is your first Zelda game it would be a good introduction!!!!

    Cute and fun art style with just the right level of challenge for the puzzles. The only gripe I have is there are some elements that I don't see how you would know what to do without consulting online guides.

    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.

    A respectful re-imagining of the Game Boy classic, Link's Awakening on the Switch brings so many parts of this world to new life on the screen. The game adds some depth to the experience beyond what the original had, but not too much. If you're a busy gamer, you should be able to complete this in a long weekend of play. Unfortunately there are some slowdown issues throughout, but they aren't so bad as to be unplayable.

    It’s a sequel to A Link to the Past which ismy favorite Zelda of all time. The new art style is just f-ing adorable. Classic top down Zelda gameplay. I love it.

    Everything from the classic GameBoy version is there with a new diorama art style on top. Good for a revisit but even better for newcomers. Framerate shows that it could have used a little more polish.

    Very good remake of the original game. This remake has vibrant colors and beautiful music. This game runs great on Switch. A great treat to relive the past or introduce your child to this title and genre. My only issue with this game is the difficulty. The game at times becomes very difficult and might be too challenging to a child. Otherwise this is a solid remake.
