They kept it alive and close to the first Zelda except with a lot better graphics and great story

I have always loved Zelda games back to the regular Nintendo

Ever since I owned the original version of the game, it was one of my favorites. The puzzles were challenging, side quests fulfilling, and the inventory well-rounded. This update brought back the same feeling with upgraded textures, sound, and color. The added feature of the dungeon maker gave the game even more challenges of creating a compelling dungeon to conquer. I would recommend this game to veterans and newbies alike.

I have been waiting for this games since it was announced. I have been playing it since I bought it. It is a lot harder then I remember on the Gameboy. But according to others the gameplay is mostly the same. Been so long I can't remember.

It’s very fun and cute. Kind of like Mario where you defeat bosses and advance.

This is a great remake or a great game. It brought back a lot of memories. Highly recommended.

rating this based on the merits of it being a remake, not the actual original game (though the original is very fun). the art style is fantastic, the musical score remixes are endearing and get stuck in your head, and the quality of life improvements to the user interface and button mapping are most welcome. can’t really say enough about this game. if you enjoyed the original link’s awakening, you’ll love this game.

This game was an amazing return to Koholint Island and is a master class in 2D Zelda. The updated style works incredibly well for this entry. Absolutely recommend this game

Great Game, so much fun and nostalgia! I vaguely remember playing this on Gameboy but it is so much better on the big screen.

Great game overall, really good remake that kept the soul of the original fame

pretty enjoyable game, and easy to get through for the most part. I liked the adorable art style (both in-game and in the opening/ending cutscenes), and the music was good, a tad repetitive but still very beautiful. I did have some qualms with the outdated level design though. as it is a complete remake of the original game, the gameplay itself is quite rough compared to today's standards, and the final two dungeons are downright infuriating. you'll seriously need a walkthrough if you've never played link's awakening before (like me), and even then, some of the dungeons have had some things moved around compared to the original game, so it can get a little confusing. regardless, its pretty good. not the best zelda game on the system, but I still had fun with it.

This game takes me back to my childhood. Amazing redo from Nintendo love love love this game

Graphics are good , fun for all ages . Recommend it

I haven’t played Zelda in quite a few years. This games graphics are spectacular. Great fun!

A must have for any Zelda fan! The retro art style works really well and the gameplay is fun

Now, I love how a lot of games are being remastered and remade but so far this is by far the best I have seen. Everything about it is wonderful! If you enjoyed the classic you will fall in love with the remake. The graphics, colors, and over all look is so clean and crisp! It is so worth picking this up even if you are new to the Zelda series or you are a die hard fan you cannot go wrong adding this to your collections.

Zelda links awakening for the Nintendo switch is a great remake and a must for all Zelda fans.

Absolutely loving this game and was thinking that this is the perfect game for introducing your son or daughter to the world of Zelda. The dungeons aren’t terribly challenging but not a breeze either. The owl guides Link in a fairly straightforward manor and the map unfolds in a logical way without the risk of getting lost. The graphical style is great and overall I’m just really enjoying it. Very glad I picked it up!

Having grown up playing the original version of this game on Game Boy, I can tell you that it was a wonderful experience revisiting this masterpiece in an updated form on Nintendo Switch. Massively recommended for those who played the original version, and I'm sure it's still highly enjoyable for pretty much everyone else.

This game is a must play zelda title. Either the new switch one or the original one on the DS. The new one of course has very beautiful visuals and little changes that makes playing much smoother. Veteran zelda fans would probably be able to blaze through this title though since nothing was really added to this version. The story of this title is worth it to play and makes this the top ranked title for most zelda fans
