Customer Ratings & Reviews

I must have beat the original every summer going to our cabin in the middle of nowhere without TV so I was skeptical that a "remaster" would be so amazing. This is an excellent game even if you played the original. Scratches that itch and some fresh stuff keeps it interesting.

I love this game ..need more zelda's like this.It got me playing again

First off, this game is absolutely beautiful. The way Nintendo gets around graphical limitations using style is amazing. The cartoony/miniatures look and feel works perfectly for this style of game and is easily my favorite part. I'm nearly finished with the game, and the gameplay has been pretty solid so far. There's decent variety in combat, progression is well spaced, and the puzzles are hard but not brain-breaking. Still though, this game just isn't AMAZING. I give it a solid 8/10 because it does exactly what it sets out to do and does it well, but never really blew me away aside from visuals.

Revisiting this old classic has brought me so much joy. This old adventure is still relevant today. I also haven't had this much much fun taking turns playing with my family in a zelda game since breath of the wild. Would recommend if you want an adventure with challenges but ways to find help without the internet.

Awesome game, but I find myself getting stuck a lot. Miss the days of strategy guilds to help navigate through some parts of the game. Or am I just getting old. Lol

If you're looking for a 100+ hour haul - this is not the game for you - (check out Breath of the Wild). Link's Awakening took me about 20 hours to beat every possible boss, gather every possible extra, and get a 100% completion rating. Wonderful game, just don't think you'll be playing it for weeks on end!

The original GameBoy game but with a HUGE improvement in graphics. There is also a handy mapping feature, too, along with other additions. Getting it for the right price made this an easier decision. As a more "simple" Zelda game, my young kids enjoy it, too.

Awesome remake to make this feel like a new title to people who may not have played the original. I played the first game like 25 years ago and this does such a fantastic job of remaking that game and still feeling like a new title since it’s been so long since the game released.

I played the original back in the day, but didn't remember it all that well. As I was playing this remake I had memories come back, which was awesome. They have really made this game its own and given it cute character. I enjoyed spending my time collecting everything and beating the game to 100% completion.

Omg! Almost a straight remake of the old gameboy game brought to the new age of gaming. I love it! And you can even still steal from the shopkeeper... but watch out, if you played the old game you know the consequences. Must have for Zelda lovers.

I am very pleased to play this one because even though I have played it a couple times in the past in its original glory, I never completed it nor aimed to explore every nook and cranny. With this remastered version I was drawn by the colors and art where every space was an absolute treat. Great short game!

My grandson told me that he wanted this for Christmas-I ordered one day nd was very shocked to receive it in my mail box the very next day!! I can’t even mail letter in my hometown to someone in my hometown and then receive it the next day!!! I am still in shock! Good job!!!

My son and I love this game. We love everything zelda honestly. The graphics are so charming. Remake of one of the most classic games ever. Get it!

I grew up with the original Link's Awakening, and it was my favorite Zelda game. This remake does it justice in visual, sound, and whimsical charm. Even if you've never played the original, you can jump right into this remake and enjoy a lovely re-imagining of one of the defining games for the Game Boy.

I bought this version of Zelda because it brings me back to the Super Nintendo version I loved. I’m not a big fan of 3D games that spin around. This game gives a more stable vantage point and is easier to play. I like focusing on the puzzles and tasks at hand instead.

The art style of this game is beautiful! The only thing that bugged me was the fuzziness around the edges of the screen but after an hour or two of playing it, I hardly noticed it anymore. A great game and a must buy! Suitable for all ages.

Sure there are frame drops at points, but they weren't overbearing or make the experience lose its charm. I recall playing the original on the first gameboy, and I would say this upgrade is amazing. Well worth the money and really love the graphics for it. A must own for sure.

Link's Awakening was a game that I had skipped out on back in the GameBoy days but am very happy they remade so I could experience it for the first time. It has a great world and is very well written. I would definitely recommend picking this up if you are a fan of Zelda games as it will not disappoint.

For me, this is the perfect Zelda game for Switch. I grew up with the Legend Of Zelda on NES, so I'm old school and not always the best with modern video games. I had never played the original Gameboy version, but this feels like a good fit for someone who loved Zelda on NES.

Never played the original version for Gameboy so this was all new to me. After the open world challenges of Breath of the Wild, the more traditional Zelda was a needed change of pace. Cute and vivid graphics, challenging puzzles and a new setting all make an exceptional addition to the Zelda lineage.
