Customer Ratings & Reviews

Link's Awakening was one of my favorite gameboy titles and playing the new remake was a great nostalgia trip. Game does have some framerate / slowdowns which is my biggest issue with it though it did not prevent me from playing the game to the end.

Bought for my grandson as a birthday gift. I was able to go to my local Best Buy, told what I wanted and they brought it to me to checkout. Easy, quick and observed social distancing. Grandson really wanted this particular game. Great experience all around.

In any Nintendo collection, The Legend of Zelda is a MUST HAVE! So many places to go, so many weapons, secrets to find. The fun does not end when you get through the entire game. It takes awhile, but you’ll go right back to beginning very soon!

I'm a huge Zelda fan and the new remake of Link's Awakening for the Switch is a stellar upgrade from the old gameboy version. Not only does it feature updated graphics and gameplay but it also features some familiar characters from a certain red hatted plumber's franchise.

What a game. This update to a beloved game does everything right. The graphics are whimsical and gorgeous. The added help to the game allows for less guessing on what the game wants you to do. This game is oozing with personality.

This game was fun on the gb... I'm old enough to know for real! What a tremendous job Nintendo did to breathe new life into an already amazing adventure. The graphics are beyond beautiful and the rewritten musical scores will have you tapping your toes and humming them.

if you like Zelda games then this game is definitely for you. Newcomers may just be in it for the visuals (which is a very nice addition compared to its predecessor), but the game feels too simple for its $59.99 price. I would give it 5 stars if I didn’t have to pay top dollar for a remade gameboy game from the early 90s. Is the game worth it, yes. Do I regret buying it, no. Do I still feel that others should add to their Switch collection, yes. I would recommend you hold off until a price drop if you can wait out the hype.

I never played the original Link’s awakening but am a Zelda fan. Very fun game for me. Old school style Zelda fun with beautiful and cute new graphics. Most importantly, my kids love it. I’m passing on the Zelda fandom to them. Ages 7-12 boy and girls. They all love it.

Great game even though i purchased the wrong one. I was supposed to get the new one and i guess this one is from 2019. They all look the same to me.

This was such a fun and entertaining game to play! I have not played the original Link’s Awakening, so I found this experience to be very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend playing this Zelda game!

A little difficult at times but tons of fun. Kind of a throwback to the old Zelda games, but with a twist to still make it something new.

The original Link's Awakening on the Game Boy is a great game. This is a relatively faithful remake, which may be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on what you want. It adds some quality of life features, like mapping certain abilities to their own button, but there are some frame rate issues which is baffling considering the simplicity of the graphics. I feel like the remake should have been a bit better, but the greatness of the original game is still there.

Great game, a faithful remake, while updating graphics. The new graphical style is very good looking as well, I’d highly recommend this

There's not much to say here if you're familiar with the original. The graphics are cool and the game is a solid distraction, but it's still pretty much just Exactly how it looks -- a remastered Gameboy game. It was fairly innovative for its time and brought a high bar to old-school handheld gaming, but it just doesn't feel like there's quite enough here to merit the price of a full game. Definitely recommend for any Zelda fan, but don't expect it to keep you playing for long. Maybe try to catch a sale.

It’s a fun and amazing game that doesn’t disappoint; it’s just as great as the original.

I literally love this game, so much! At first, it was incredibly confusing, as I never have played the original Link’s awakening. But, now that I’m playing the newer one, it couldn’t get any better than this! I love this game so much, and it is an excellent time killer!

This an isometric adventure game focused on explororation and nintendo hits it out of the park.

As someone who played the ORIGINAL Link's Awakening in 1993 as well as it's DX version, I was interested in this remake. The game has some colorful and cute updated graphics and the game is largely the same minus a few changes like a brand new dungeon creator that isn't much fun. The dungeon mini bosses and main bosses are actually tougher than the original adding a much needed challenge. The Color Dungeon of the DX version is present as well. A good game with nostalgia.

My all time favorite game must have mos def get this

This game is great! I never got to play the original back in the day, so it being remade for the Switch it was an instant must have! The art style is great! Like windwaker not many people liked it, but I love them both! A definite recommended! Well worth the $60 bucks
