    Great product for a last-minute gift for a 12-year-old. Thank you, Best Buy st. Petersburg Florida for making the online purchase and pick up simple right before Christmas.

    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 never played the origina. It's new to me and follows a very easy, casual gamer path. It's a pickup and play game for a few minutes to an hour at a time. I don't feel compelled to rush through it like with the original Zelda games. Basic is not a bad thing. the graphics are eyecatching and the controls are easy to use like the other zelda games. If you haven't played it and aren't looking for much of a challenge I suggest you pick this one up.

    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.

    My 8 and 39 year olds are having a blast. Looks amazing on 4k tv. The kids call it a vintage game? I can't say much else for the gameplay, sorry. Overall, the 8 year old and the 39 year old both love it.

    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.

    A great reimagining...

    ...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.

    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.
