Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love Link's Awakening. It's a great Zelda title. That being said, I'm not hugely into or even remotely a fan of chibi art style so that was a little disappointing initially. I did get over it and I am endeared to the remake now. The only thing I'm not super fond of is the 30fps cap and the lackluster performance at times. A great remake that could have been better.

I prefer digital for my games and this game is a nice remake of the original that is worth keeping

Played the original from 1993 when I was a kid... takes you back, the graphics update is awesome! Such an excellent job done! It is not an easy game, but once you get down, it’s a great journey!

This game is an amazing take on a classic. It is a bit short but what it lacks in quantity it makes up for in quality. I've spend hours already exploring it's charming world. Highly recommend.

Great game, beautiful graphics, much prefer this to the open world games, and it's not a massive time commitment. Enjoyed this on the the gameboy color, and it's even better on the switch.

Such a fun Zelda game. A must have! If you’re a Zelda fan this is a collection you need

I remember playing this as a kid on gameboy and it was like reliving a piece of my childhood. The graphics are great as well as the story line. Great adventure game to take with you on the go.

This is a great game. People may be complaining about the frame rate but it does not affect playing the game at all. Occasional hitch here and there but this is a classic game brought modern.

Bought this for my 9 and 11 year old boys. They both love it! It has lots of adventures. You have to complete parts of the map to unlock other areas. They definitely recommend this game.

This game is super fun!!! Even if you haven't played it on the first version, the story line and dungeons are amazing. The graphics are also great. You can't skip this game if you like RPGs.

I absolutely love this game. It combines the old with the new. Definitely has the feel of the old school game I played as a kid, but holds my interests with new challenges and adventures.

Truly one of the best self-contained Zelda's. Remake of the original, tons of fun and great graphics and story. Not going to blow you away if you played the original but still excellent.

I loved this game back in the day. The updated graphics are a great addition. The story is good and it’s a different than the normal Hyrule story of other Zelda games. However, I don’t like paying $60 for a remake. Nintendo and all the retailers need to stop charging full price for old games with just a few noticeable upgrades.

Great product. Great for younger kids. The strategy of the game is impeccable. Links and awakens your brain and allows you to become a legend just like Zelda!

Still stands up stands up as on of the greatest top down zelda games of all time. This update brings it to the switch for new and old gamers alike. Pick it up you won’t be disappointed.

I love how fun this game is, it brings back so many memories. The remake stays faithful to the original while updating the art beautifully, and making gameplay just a bit easier!

The original gameboy game is one of my all time favorites, and this game is exactly the same only with upgraded HD graphics. Only bad thing i will say is that the performance is not good. Too many framerate dips while playing, and it gets quite distracting. It's not like Nintendo to release a game that isn't a locked 30fps or 60fps. This one feels too unstable.

Amazing game!! 10/10. Very fun, colorful, not to challenging compared to other Zelda’s and a beautiful and mysterious story.

Just like you remember on the Game Boy. So charming and with a great art style too. Don't sleep on this game . It's 100% a Zelda and worth playing. Really addictive.

This remake is phenomenal. It captures the essence of the original game but adds a new artistic flair that looks beautiful on the Switch. The addition of being able to map two items for use while keeping sword and shield as their own dedicated buttons keeps combat smooth and less time in menus. This has been a perfect introduction to Zelda for my kids, as Breath of the Wild is a bit beyond them. The puzzles and straightforward aspect of Link’s Awakening is great for short play, as each dungeon adds a new layer of complexity and freedom. Highly recommend the game, and love the hardcore mode if you are already familiar with the game.
