Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game is an EXACT copy of the Game Boy game that came out about 25 years ago. It's a little short compared to some most games now, however, it is very fun. One or two things were added to this version along with a dungeon maker. The updated controls from the two button Game Boy set up are great.

Game is fun but really short compared to Breath of the Wild, maybe 20 hours long if you’re trying to collect everything. Never played the original on game boy but this remake on switch plays well and presents some challenging puzzles. Worth it if you can get it on discount!

I purchased this game because the original was the first Zelda game I had played, and this held up very well to that. The HD world was fun to explore, and the new challenges added enough to keep the game fresh. If this is the quality we can expect from remakes from Nintendo, I will be purchasing more.

This throwback version really captures the essence of the original Zelda from Nintendo, but adds all of the wonderful additions from the newest versions. It's honestly exactly what I was hoping for once I saw the previews for this game. If you were a fan of the original Zelda, you will love this game!

Link's Awakening is a , timeless title. It's a great experience for anyone looking for that original 2D Zelda fix. This remake is as good as it gets. The design still shows signs of being from a more rudimentary age of gaming, but it still holds up well. The remake has a few hiccups here and there: Stuttering frame rates every once in a while , for instance. I also wish they would have prioritized cutting load-times over higher visual fidelity. However both items are minor nitpicks. Ultimately the game is an excellent title that is still worth picking up now, decades later.

My girl and I are both enjoying playing this and she is truly happy

The best remaster of any Zelda game so far. What a tremendous amount of whimsy, beauty, and style. I’ve played Link’s Awakening many times, but this beautiful remaster elevated the experience and lifted my memories of childhood play through a back to the front of my mind.

This was a fun little game that I enjoyed playing on my switch. I've always enjoyed the Zelda games and this was a great throw back to what the game used to be like.

Link’s Awakening was a unique classic in the series. Nintendo has done a excellent beautifully redoing it. The new art style is similar to Wind Waker but it’s much more detailed and polished. Don’t miss out on this Zelda classic. Wonderful new islands, characters and dungeons. Definitely pick it up.

My sister’s older kids enjoyed Zelda BOTW so much that they played it for HOURS. To them, it was more than just a game - it was one magnificent adventure. So when I saw Link’s Awakening, I was so thrilled to be able to add one more Zelda adventure to their collection.

Though it is the same game from the gameboy back in the early 90's it is still great fun. The updated graphics are exceptionally good and, the main draw to replay. I did not take advantage of the build features. If you've never played in the past, this is definitely a game to get.

This is a great game. If you love Zelda then you'll love this game. if you don't love Zelda you still might like this game. Slightly different take on a remake of a classic. The cover of the book looks a little bit different but the story inside is still the same and great.

I won’t get into huge detail about this game but if you liked the original, you will like this one. I was a little disappointed at first because it is more a reimagining than a remake, but once I got used to the new graphics I fell in love. That whole process maybe took a half hour. Great game!

A compelling game from start to finish, this is an excellent modern re-make of a beloved classic with updated graphics and many quality of life improvements over the original.

Absolutely adorable and a different animation/take on the original style of Legend of Zelda gameplay with the right amount of challenge that usually stumps me in the more open world Legend of Zelda games. This was the best deal on this edition of the game and I am still early on in gameplay.

In comparison with Breath of the Wild, this is a totally different style and take. Geared more toward a younger crowd in my opinion, but still a lot of fun. Would buy again!

Had played this to virtually no end as a kid when it was originally released. Was reasonably excited when it was announced but was hesitant to hear it would be a full-priced re-release. Even still, the story and gameplay stand the test of time and is worth adding to any Zelda fan's collection.

Older generation Nintendo players will know Link's Awakening from the original Gameboy. This is an awesome remake that brings yet another unique art style to the Zelda franchise. Best of all, both older and younger players will appreciate this epic game for the Switch!

This game is what introduced me to the LOZ series back when it was release on the gameboy. It bought me nostalgia to replay an old friend. I just wish they added more to it then just port over. The dungeon creation is a fun for a bit but not limitation makes it repetitive. Overall it was still nice to see a new make over and glad they took time to do that. Only complaint is that it should've been priced a little less, since game is old enough you can emulate original on a phone nowadays.

This was my sons first top-down Zelda experience and we both had a blast beating it together. The shiny graphics are fun and the gameplay is satisfying. My son had the whole map memorized and I was the one to do the boss battles, it was a very fun game for them both of us to play together!
