Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game is an amazing remake of The legend of Zelda Link's Awakening from the old Gameboy, great graphics, control mechanics, music and an overall nice gameplay, if you are new to the game or you want to revive the old adventure, look no further, you will enjoy this game.

This is perhaps the zaniest Zelda game in existence (yes, including the Philips CD-I games!) I can only imagine the design process at the time. I feel like examples would spoil the surprise, but there are a lot of cameos in this game that you would not expect. The story is typically light fare, but not what you're expecting out of a Zelda game. While the game is gorgeous to look at (not wholly unlike Animal Crossing, but with a wax/claymation slant,) the frame rate struggles just about the entire time.

First time playing this game. I decided to go with the upgraded graphics as the best experience, Not disappointed really, the game is great. However, the frame rate seems to drop every now and then. If you are a fan of the series you wont be disappointed.

I remember when I was 7 and recieve my first original gameboy it came with this little gem called The Legend of Zelda Link Awakening. The sad part I never really beat it and bum me out being very young had a difficult time play it. So when Nintendo announced an acutal remake for the switch. To be honest, I did not like the look of it that it didn't grab me. But last week, i suddenly change my mind and gave it a go. I was so wrong that I love this cute game and how beautiful this mysterious island really is that Nintendo put a lot love to this classic. Truthfully, I not a big zelda fan but I own it to myself to play this gem again. Link Awakening is the only zelda game I really care about, Goty material, and a timeless classic I glad to have on the switch.

Zelda: Links Awakening is a faithful remake to the original Game Boy classic. It’s obvious that game developer Grezzo put time into making the original playable for modern audiences. The new art style showcases the power of the Switch, however the game does chug when loading into a new area. The only real problem I have with this game is the fact that there is no substantial new content. The new dungeon builder mode, inspired by Mario Maker, won’t hold you over for very long, so if you played the original this game won’t be worth playing.

This is a really nostalgic game to play and I very much enjoyed revisiting this game with the new beautiful graphics. They have added more items to find, which does make for a bit of added interest. However, I found this game to be really easy. I have never 100%ed a game on the first playthrough, but this game was so short that it almost seems necessary to do everything to get your money's worth. It's definitely fun and still worth playing just a bit disappointing if you're looking for the length or difficulty of the more recent zelda games.

This is a fantastic game for anyone who is a fan of The Legend of Zelda. The art style is amazing and will have you exploring the game for hours. Overall this game has a great story and an amazing art style. I would recommend this game to anyone who wants to play a fun game.

Zelda is a great game for the whole family , lot of fun.

Very faithful remake, I miss these older top-down Zeldas

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

Missed this the first time around when it was a GB game. This remake ticks all the boxes of a great Zelda game. It can get frustrating at times with the frame rate and the “Mario maker”-esque dungeon builder is kinda lame... but as a Zelda game this game is great!

If you are a fan of the original classic than you will enjoy this installment. The game honors the classic very well, from the gameplay to the music. There are added features like the dungeon creator helps the game standout as a new game. Totally worth buying.

This game is incredible. The graphics are amazing . I feel like I am inside the game playing as Zelda.

I really enjoyed this game. It's nice to have an adventure game sometimes that doesn't last 60 hours and that gets right to the gameplay. It feels like the original or Link to the Past. It's a bit easy if you played all the older games, but I totally recommend it.

Link's Awakening was definitely one of my favorite Zelda titles growing up and I'm stoked that Nintendo made the decision to revisit it, with an amazing new art style and gameplay tweaks. The graphics almost resemble that of a toy playset and I'm here for it. Outside of that, it's the game you know and love for a new generation. As much fun as I'm having so far though, the game does have some performance issues, but hopefully they'll be addressed with a future patch. Regardless, it's a great time to be a Zelda fan.

Love this game! Great addition to my switch game collection.

this is an amazing remake. i recommend everyone who owns a switch to play this game. the art style is gorgeous and it provides everything you can ask from a top-down view zelda game. took around 18 hours to play the entire story.

A fun gameboy game lovingly remade on switch with a cute art style and a phenomenal soundtrack

Now, this is how a remake should be done. The graphics are charming and vibrant and the art style looks like your controlling little plastic figurines. All of the same gameplay is retained but the new coat of paint really brings this classic gem to life.

Great zelda game, Just in time for the switch lite. It's a great handheld game. Looks a little laggy when playing in docked mode. Notice a little frame rate drops from scene to scene. Easy for kids to play as well. The puzzles are pretty straight forward
