Customer Ratings & Reviews

As a fan who recently lost his game boy saves from the battery dieing... This is a great way to replay it. It feels almost exactly like it did before but with a cute 3D art style. You could almost say it's... Dreamlike. For newcomers. It's likely the strangest Zelda ever made. With so many Mario enemies present in places it's definitely still surreal. And it's well worth the 60 dollars. If you lamented not getting a classic Zelda with breath of the wild in 2017... This is just what the doctor ordered.

I never played any of the “original” incarnations of Link’s Awakening, and I am having a blast with this. While I did thoroughly enjoy Breath of the Wild and other “modern” Zelda adventures; this game scratched a nostalgic itch while giving me a gaming experience full of modern fidelity. Several dungeons and boss fights are truly unique, I was pleasantly surprised. In fact, despite having several other games available via Switch online, I am already for them to give the other “classic” games this treatment.

The legend of Zelda link's awakening amazing beautiful remake. a must buy for the Nintendo switch.

Fantastic game. Music, characters, gameplay, challenge level. All neatly packed in a unforgettable adventure!

Best game I’ve played in awhile make me remember when I was young

This game reminds me of A Link to the Past, which is a huge win. I love the top down Zelda games, and Link's Awakening delivers in spades. All the weird quirks really make the game stand out and have a unique identity. I love the platforming pieces, the chain chomp, the goombas, and all the other weird little gimmicks the game has to offer. Perfect game for anyone who likes classic adventure games from the NES and SNES era.

So much fun playing this game. Kept my family and I entertained and was easy to follow.

Awesome game! Never played the original and this Switch version is awesome play story and colorful characters just awesome! Nintendo is bringing fun to play with Switch console and light portability! It’s about gameplay not just about power like PlayStation and Xbox! And own them as well but the Switch and switch lite is taking over.

Links Awakening is a reboot of a Gameboy Zelda game that I missed the first time. So I can’t compare it to the original. What I can say is it’s a lot of fun. It’s much different from the other Zelda game on switch Breath of the Wild. This game seems cuter and friendlier then BotW. Links Awakening reminds me a lot of the fun I had playing Zelda Link to the Past many years ago. Anyway I recommend this game a hope that Nintendo will dig up more classics Zelda games for the switch.

A good beginner’s game Zelda if you don’t have experience with previous versions. It is a good remake of an old Gameboy game.

I have never played Links Awakening before. Even though I’m a Zelda fanatic, this one was part of the few Zelda games I never played. Well, i got this one as a Christmas present but I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I did. Man, it’s crazy how they did this game on a gameboy. The jump technique really gives the 2d formula of Zelda a much needed variety and it’s crazy how they never returned to this formula over the years. I really recommend this game for everyone, even young kids.

We always enjoyed the original games of Zelda. We played them from the very beginning with my children and friends and now we play Zelda with the grandchildren. This will not disappoint game fans of any age. Wasn’t sure what to expect with the our new Switch but everything about this game was fun and exciting to play. From age 6 to age 63 we are all challenged with this game. An excellent game yo enjoy with all your family members. We are enjoying the color, speed and challenging levels.

An amazing port of a timeless classic. I still remember all the dungeons and they haven't changed. Great graphics and music.

I went in with mixed feelings as LoZ is one of my favorite franchises, not sure what to expect. I was not convinced yet that it was a faithful remastering of the classic, but in true Nintendo fashion with the aid of Grezzo it was more than I imagined. If any criticism is necessary then the only thing that I can say is it doesn't feel as dark as the original versions. Otherwise, it is exactly what you want out of a LoZ game.

A brilliant iteration of classic Zelda with a lovely story, this remake is all types of gorgeous and a joy to play through.

I know it’s blasphemy on the internet but I did not like Breath of The Wild very much, luckily this has satiated my desire for a Zelda game instead, echoing a simpler time in the franchise that’s more arcadey for sure. If you find yourself looking for something old school give this a try.

My son has been a fan since the 1st The Legend of Zelda game and I see the attraction.

This game is an all time classic. The updated visuals look stunning, I wish they'd use this style for more classic nintendo franchises. The game suffers from an inconsistent frame rate that gets a little choppy from time to time but doesn't subtract from an otherwise fantastic game

I have thoroughly enjoyed playing through a modern imagining of this classic that's almost perfect even if the framerate dips a bit. It's very comforting to return to LA, to know its every corner, to recognize its colorful cast, to feel truly lost in the experience. Great choice.

Super fun game, dident last as long as I wanted but if you do all small missions and side tasks it lasts a bit longer
