What is in the big egg? How did it get atop a mountain? Where is my wallet? I guess I need to cut lawns to make some more money and find the answers to these questions. Maybe even dig a few holes to see if there is any buried treasure on the beach, in the forest, or up the mountain. I need some tunes to keep the adventure going!

This is how you do a remake. Update everything but still never lose the charm of what made the orginal special. Nintendo hit another home run with this one and its great for people who played the original on Gameboy to revisit the classic storyline and setting and its great for people who are jumping into this for the first time. If you own a Switch. BUY THIS GAME

I love this game. Great story line and the graphics are amazing.

A great feeling of exploring around, fighting monsters, clearing dungeons, and having an overall great quest. Many artistic styles are back and remade for a 3D style. Overall enjoyed the game immensely.

I recently finished this game, and as someone that bought the original GameBoy version of this, the DX version for Game Boy Color, this game does the original justice, and even brought forth really good Quality of Life improvements for the game involving juggling Link's items, and made it more akin to LttP or Link Between Worlds. This game is also very, very cute.

The game was better than I’d expected! I played the game with a walkthrough guide to 100% beat the game, and to make sure I don’t leave anything behind. I’m not great at finishing a game all the way through, but this game was so entertaining it made it worthwhile. The full gameplay hour is about 60, so you can decide how quick you’ll like to complete it.

Need to play, great game!! Sounds great, same story, great adaptation

Graphics are great and the story is cool. Love what they done with it

Great game great story. The graphics are awesome. Will recommended

I just started playing this a few days again, so I'm not very far. It is a remade version of an older Zelda game and it is done beautifully. It plays and sounds like the old game, but has a look like Animal Crossing. It is beautifully done. If you younger or just haven't played any of the older Zelda's, this is a great start.

I am a big fan of zelda but never played the original that this is based on. If your a huge fan, get it. I won't be able to talk you it off out anyways. If your not a big fan or only some what interested then wait to get it on a good deal. It was originally made for the game boy. Compared to any other zelda game, the map is tiny. But still fun to explore.

Long time fan of Zelda, this is a great addition to the saga. I don't play video games much any more, but slowly working my way through this game was a good experience. For the most part, you don't have to sit and play for long periods of time with this title. I probably appreciate that the most.

This is a really good remake of the original. Smooth gameplay, great animations, and even a touch of cuteness. A little on the shorter side in terms of content for the price, but still a fun game.

love Zelda games and love this remake for the switch.

Great gaming returning to a simpler 2.5D era of the NES and SNES. The gameplay is familiar, although the plot is a bit simpler than those that have come since. Originally created for the Gameboy, the restrictions on capacity at the time show in duration, but the graphical updates here make it a slightly different experience.

This remake of Link's Awakening is by far one of the best surprises from Nintendo this year. The classic Game Boy game is perfect for the Switch with it's unique visuals and updates. This is classic Zelda at it's finest. However.... the reason I only give it 4 of 5 stars, is the framerate has some serious problems at times, chugging below 20 FPS at certain points. Also the Tilt-Shift camera work looks good on the top half of the screen, however the bottom of the screen does not seem to do tilt-shift properly and sometimes looks like there's a thin layer of Vaseline smeared on the camera. Small complaints, but still something I would have expected to be polished a bit more for a game like this.

This game is of course a remake of the original game that came out for the GB/GBC. The game starts off with Link being overtaken by a storm at sea and ending up in a mysterious island. What unfolds after that is your main style of a top down Zelda game but now in 3D. The story is somewhat reminiscent of Twin Peaks. If you’re into a bunch of Nintendo cameos you’ll be super happy with the amount of them. The game from a technical standpoint can be bad sometimes. The graphics are great but it’s the FPS that can really stutter sometimes. It wasn’t even to detract from the gameplay but it’s certainly noticeable. Overall if you want to jump into a remake of a fantastic game, you surely enjoy it.

It a fun game full of nostalgia. And it runs great and much smoother compared to the original game.

I am so happy I took the chance and bought this for my Switch......I 1st got introduced to the Zelda World in 1986. Had so much fun back then, I played it 3-4 times. Loved the puzzles and adventuring. Now 30+ years later I am enjoying the upscaled version even more! Anyone who has played and enjoyed the original Zelda HAS to give this a try! Well worth it!

I've never played the original but I've seen gameplay of the original and this remake does it justice. I've played and finished this game and enjoyed it. The secrets to the game to progress are wonderful. The graphics are really nice and the last two dungeons especially the second to last are the most challenging ones. This is a classic in my opinion.
