Great Game. My first time playing a Zelda game outside of tears of the kingdom and breath of the wild. And i love it. Never played the original version and im really happy with this version

I never played the original game on the Game Boy and was excited to play this old school top down adventure. It did not disappoint. It reminded me a lot of A Link to the Past but quirky and different. My only complaint would be there was some lag and slow down in the game at times when too many enemies were on the screen. But overall a super fun and smile-inducing game.

Plays well on the Switch 2. Really enjoying some of the smoothness of the game. Hard to compare because I lose all my beloved Zelda games and console in a fire. But as I am playing the story is coming back to me. I would recommend. Hope to find more Zelda titles.

A first party Nintendo game finally discounted. My favorite The Legend of Zelda. Quite an Awakening! Thank you!

It is a remake of one of the best handheld games ever made. It runs a little crap on the Switch 1. I hear it runs better on the Switch 2 with resolution upgrades and HDR support. Regardless, it is one of my most loved Switch games.

Great game. Played the original one on Gameboy Color a couple years ago and final got a Switch to play this version.

I used to play the heck out of this on the original Game Boy, and I remember it being SO hard but then again I was like 8 years old. Coming back to this game totally remade I was having flash backs. It was reliving my 8 year old self and remembering all of those puzzles that frustrated me. This is a great game for any Zelda fan!

i'm a really big fan of this wondrous remake of the gameboy classic. nostalgic, yet fresh with a myriad of content that keeps me playing for hours! love it. yummy!

My first Zelda game and definitely not my last! So fun!

Very fun Zelda game for the Switch; the remake holds up to the original, and improves upon it greatly to make it perfect for Link's Awakening veterans and new fans alike, with gorgeous graphical design and an outstanding soundtrack making it amazing despite some minor performance hiccups. Highly recommended overall.

Amazing remake of a masterpiece! It has a free update for Switch 2 that makes it run at 4k 60fps hdr on.

Played the original gameboy in the 1990s as a child. Played the gamboy colored version as well. && now we are revisiting to the modern updated version of links awakening. Blown away by the animations, bringing back the feels and the relationship I had with the zelda game. The magic is still there, even better. Thank you, Nintendo & Best Buy.

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.

Awesome game to enjoy on the switch. Definitely worth a try…

I've beaten this game so many times both in its original Gameboy form and in the shiny new switch version. Always a good playthrough now with a few added bells and whistles.

...if a bit short and overpriced. Don't get me wrong, this is the DEFINITIVE way to play this class Zelda title. The quality of life improves to gameplay, the reimagined soundtrack, and the wonderfully charming art style all feel right at home. However, the comparatively short length, lack of side objectives, or post-game content, make this a hard sell at $60. If you're a hardcore Zelda fan, chances are you've already bought this game. However, if you're on the fence, wait for a sub-$40 price point.

If you played the original you will love the remake, and even if you didn't I still highly recommend getting it!

My child loves this game so much. She plays it often, she even loves the music, the graphics are amazing.

I've been on the market for a Nintendo Switch for the past 2 years, but I've been hesitant/on the fence about it because of the lofty $300 price tag. However, this past year, with the release of Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening, I just had to relive the experience that I once had way back when I played this game on the Nintendo Gameboy. So this past Black Friday, I decided to just go for it. This game is awesome! It is just as fun as the original, just the way I remembered it! However, with regards to the console, I have other things to say. After reading product reviews and other blogs, I quickly came to realize that Nintendo had just recently released an updated Switch with better hardware. And by hardware, I mean the battery. The original model included a battery which held a charge for 2.5-6.5 hours. The game system that comes with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, is likely that original model. The newer model is the exact same switch, from what I can tell, however it comes with a better battery. The newer batter can hold a charge from 4.5-9 hours. The unfortunate thing regarding the newer model is that currently, it does not come with a game. But, I decided to forgo getting a free game with a worse battery and instead purchased the new model. The important thing to know when shopping for a Switch is that the outside packaging (box) doesn't tell you which battery you are getting. So if you just grab one off the shelf, you won't know just by looking at the box if it is the old model or the new model. However, from what I have read online, you are able to tell based on the first 3 letters of the serial number. On the bottom of the box, locate the serial number. For the newer battery, look for the serial number that starts with XKW (not XAW). XAW is the old model, while XKW is the new model. Additionally, if you are buying an open box/used switch, you can tell which model you are getting based on the MOD number on the back of the unit. When looking at the back, look for where it says MOD, if you want the newer model, you want the HAC-001(-01) model. If it says the MOD is HAC-001, that is the older model. While you are essentially getting a discount by purchasing a Nintendo Switch with a game included at the same price as a Switch without a game, I personally think it's much better to get a console which comes with a longer battery charge.

One of my favorite games from my childhood is back in my hands. It's simply perfection, especially with its new "toy" graphic style.
