A cute little remaster! Worth it even if you've played before, as the graphics are so beautiful. It would be really cool if we could get ports like this for the some of other LoZ top-down games in the future.

I’ve been wanting this game since it first released and I love it definitely more on the cute side than other Zelda games but it’s super enjoyable so far!

Absolutely fun! Just like the original but with much better graphics.

Boy this is a fun game this has to be one of my favorite Zelda games anyone who is a fan of the old-school Zelda this is a nice game fun little side missions a lot easier to play then breath of the wild highly recommended

If you liked the original links awakening, I'm sure you'll love the remake. It's and improvement in just about every way imaginable. It is a pretty short game, however. If you're on a budget, it might not be the most economical purchase.

Fun game. I played it through to the end. I did not complete the seashell collection challenge completely, but i can still go back to complete it.

I’m glad I picked up links awakening I love the cute art style,,,, I enjoy it’s game play even if it’s a lil easy, but it really is a game for all ages~ But what I like most is how easily I lose track of time when playing^^

Loved playing the original on the GBC and I remember beating that game a couple of times and never getting tired of it. So with this updated version for the Nintendo Switch, it really takes me back. Unfortunately since I haven't played in so long I have forgotten many of the tricks to the game and I'm having to re-learn them but it's so worth it. The only issue and it's been pretty minor is the occasional stutter or frame rate drop on certain areas but it's definitely not a deal breaker.

You've heard it plenty, but this version of Link's Awakening is pretty much like the original. It does have various Quality-of-Life changes, HD graphics ported to the 3rd dimension, and it comes with a dungeon builder that uses pre-made sections, but all in all, it's just like the game on the Gameboy and Gameboy Color. That's not to say it isn't fun, as I've been having a blast with it. Highly recommend, whether you've never played the original, or looking to freshen up from the 8-bit era.

This game is a 5 star quality game. There is little that you could do to this game to improve it. However, for the $60 asking price, it has a slight tinge of buyer's remorse. As Nintendo games rarely go on sale, you will probably end up paying full price for this, but it would have earned the full 5 stars at $40 MSRP. It's too short of a game to ask $60 for, even as charming as it is. Compared to the original on Gameboy and Gameboy Color, this is the best way to play the game, hands down.

It’s a Zelda game, so you know it’s going to be good. Though it does have some frame rate issues, overall it’s a super fun game and a cool remake of an old gameboy game. A lot of work went into remaking this classic.

My son really enjoyed playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on his Nintendo Switch so he asked for Link's Awakening for Christmas! I was excited to find it on sale at Best Buy and to be able to give it as a gift!

I’ve never played the previous versions of the game, so this was my first rodeo, so to speak. I can definitely see how it influenced other entries in the Zelda series. I honestly couldn’t tell that it’s a 25 year old game. I highly recommend it.

Modern remake of the Gameboy game. Fixes several issues from the original game and adds a new artstyle. Very recommended

Even though this is a remake, it feels fresh because the art style just pops. I have never played the original and it's highly regarded from many Zelda fans so I'm excited to continue playing it. So far so good.

It's amazing to see how far technology has come and being able to relive a classic I played as a kid in the early 90s is awesome. The nostalgia factor is incredible, and current graphics (and handheld!!) make it even sweeter!

Links awakening is a great game because of the great storyline and the mechanics and the graphics, the graphics make it look like one of the old legend of Zelda games which is something I like, overall it is a very good legend of Zelda game

Ive been a Zelda Links Awakening fan since i played the original on GameBoy years ago. this is the same game from all those years ago but with updated graphics and a few differences that make this game very fun and playable for years to come.

If you’re a fan of the series, especially the original versions of Links awakening, this is an absolute must have. Plays extremely well, is beautiful to look at and is a blast to play on the Switch. Pick this up and you will not be disappointed.

Love this game!! So far the best game I own for the Nintendo Switch.
