Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a remake of a Gameboy game from the 1990s, but it looks amazing now on Switch! You unlock tools to gain access to more areas over time, which is fun for someone who likes to solve puzzles. If you're looking for open world like Zelda: Breath of the Wild, though, you'll be disappointed because this game takes place on a small island that you repeatedly go over to unlock new areas.

Faithful update to the Gameboy classic with updated graphics and additional content. Fans of original top-down Zelda games or those who want to try the style will enjoy. A simple dungeon creation mode which allows you to combine completed dungeon rooms into your own map is a good precursor to a Super Mario Maker style Zelda game in the future,

This games art style and game play is near flawless...game of the year contender

This is a wonderful trip down memory lane with updated graphics and music.

Really charming remake of a classic game. Art style and graphics are fantastic.

This is a classic that looks beautiful. Only knocked down a star because there is some brief frame rate drops when you leave buildings.

I love the legend of zelda series and this remake is super adorable and, I'm happy to have this in my collection

Fantastic remake of a classic. Some performance issues, but the game is so good that you can excuse it.

I love this game, use to own it on a gameboy color and this remake is awesome.

The first thing to keep in mind is that this game is a direct remake or a Gameboy game, with a few new features and quality of life improvements. True to the console, it's a small adventure compared to the newer, massive Zelda titles from the last few years. Even so, it's still a good game. The graphics are actually adorable, and the entire world is basically a big diorama with toys. Like any good Zelda game, the world is full of mystery and memorable characters and environments, some of which are pretty strange. The puzzles are good, none are THAT hard that you'll spend forever on them, but they're just challenging enough to be satisfying without you wanting to pull your hair out. Overall a pretty solid game and I would recommend.

Big fan of the art style. Love the challenge of trying figure out the puzzles

a good call back to and remaster of the gameboy color classic. It's everything you would expect from a campy top down zelda game and even has cameos of other Nintendo classics such as Kirby and Goombas. 8 dungeons, dozens of side quests and memorable characters. The only draw backs were the very linear story line, and the removal of the photographer and his side quests. the original had an album that you could go back and look at portions of the story and the characters that were there at those times. The lack of that just made it feel like you were less connected to the story and people. And the ending less bitter sweet.

It’s an absolutely fantastic game! For those who remember (and loved) the original Legend of Zelda, this will bring back memories — albeit with much better graphics. The only downside is I found it way too easy to complete the game. I finished it in less than three weeks and found everything. Still, great fun for the fans of the Zelda genre.

I purchased this game for my son and didn’t know how fun it would be. He had never played Zelda before, so I was unsure if he would like it. He could spend hours on this game if given the chance. If you’ve never played a Zelda game I would recommend buying this one. It’s kid friendly and the colors within the game are vibrant. This is definitely a purchase well spent!

I absolutely love it. I played the original and DX version, and while this game essentially the exact same game, the slight changes and graphics made this an awesome experience! Best Buy made my experience as easy as can be.

Gameplay was nice and smooth, game was like taking a trip down memory lane

I have had a lot of fun playing this game. I have always had a soft spot for the 2d zelda games, and I am glad I picked this up. A really fun adventure with great progression.

Great game. Easy and fun to pick up and play. Colorful and nice graphics

not worth $60 for an OLD GAME, but im having fun playing this remastered Zelda game. I like that they added some super Mario like characters to the game when they did that. I never played the original but when u have to cheat on the internet, it will tell u they added such and such that isn't in the original game. that being said... laziness on Nintendos part on creating new games. Its just like all the other games I had for the Wii U that I have now had to REPURCHASE for the switch. kinda a rip off Nintendo. but I'm still paying to rebuy them so I'm the idiot. lol. also, I would recommend to a friend, but after I finished it and leant it to them. I wouldn't tell them to pay full price... just use mine.

I had this game on an early Gameboy unit and it was fun. This remake has better graphics and some added functions. I am only a few hours into the game, so there are probably more improvements I haven't found yet. The switch platform makes this game come more alive when playing. The old grainy graphics and 2D perspective limited the feeling of being in the game.
