    This game is exactly what any adult that enjoys well made games should be looking for. The challenging toy land that you are placed into is matched only by the beautiful design of the landscape. It feels like you put on a pair of rose colored glasses and popped in ANY game from the 90s. First time playing this game old or new and I feel as though this game makes our modern games look pathetic in comparison to how effortless the flow of the game is

    Don't get me wrong this is such a wonderful game. The drop frame rates really hinder this game. I am surprised there has not been a patch to address this. But if you can ignore this this truly a great port from the original.

    In our house, the Zelda Franchise is universally loved by everyone in my family. Link's awakening is a classic on it's own. Watching my kids enjoy the game at the same age their parents did shows how a good game with a good setting is timeless. The new graphics and being on the switch are just icing on the cake. This is a must play for any Nintendo/Zelda fan. If you are a fan I doubt you are reading the reviews anyways. You already beat it.

    Link’s Awakening for the switch brings with it everything that made the first game so great. An amazing play for old and new fans alike, the game’s creative art style and vivid scenery are amazing on the switch’s screen with only a few hiccups and lag.

    The Zelda series continues to draw you in after all these years. This iteration of the series harkens back to the original with its charm and adventure. The graphics and gameplay make it challenging but very fun.

    If you were a fan of Link's Awakening DC on the Gameboy Color then you'll be a fan of this game. Very much the same game with updated graphics that are incredibly charming (also better controls keep you from having to pause it as much as the GB version). Hard to give a review that isn't bursting with nostalgia for a 90s kid like me, but I really would say this game is worth it.

    One of the best Zelda Adventures and one that many missed from back in the day. I was geeked to see Nintendo take the time to remake/remaster this GameBoy classic. It's a great trip and blast to play and imo a bit more enjoyable than the original, I wish more copies of the Dreamer Edition had been produced but otherwise if you like classic Zelda adventures, this is a must own for your Switch collection.

    Plays well on the Switch 2. Really enjoying some of the smoothness of the game. Hard to compare because I lose all my beloved Zelda games and console in a fire. But as I am playing the story is coming back to me. I would recommend. Hope to find more Zelda titles.

    I was a bit skeptical when Nintendo chose Link's Awakening as their next remake options, but boy have my concerns more than been put to the wayside. This delightful ground up re-make of a Gameboy classic absolutely oozes charm from beginning to end. From the glossy meets claymation aesthetic to the eclectic cast of characters that you meet, it really makes you feel like you're playing within a giant living Kolohint Island diorama.

    Trying to enjoy this game but the frame rate goes from 60 to 30 every few seconds and it really takes away from the immersion. Also Nintendo should not have charged 60 dollars for this game. But if you can get past those 2 things the game is fun.

    With a fresh coat of paint this game seems to be like a brand new game. The graphics are what you would expect of a current generation game while the gameplay is more enjoyable than the original because of the graphical overhaul. Looking back to the original release of the game you can see how the little additions of animated incidentals adds to the feeling of depth and liveliness to the game. You'll enjoy this game immensely!
