    Link's Awakening is over 20 years old, yet by simply adding a beautiful new art style and leaving the game as is, it is still fantastic. It's a classic and the switch version is the absolute best way to play this game

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

    The Link’s Awakening remastering brings everything from the original Game Boy game and makes it better. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have much of anything that the original didn’t have, meaning no new dungeons or endgame content. Newcomers are certain to spend more time in their first play through than us veterans that remember most of the puzzles, but the quality and nostalgia alone are more than enough to justify the price tag.

    If you played the original Game Boy release, be prepared for a flood of nostalgia. While this isn’t the longest Zelda game, it scratches the dungeon-puzzle itch and deserves a place in your collection!

    The game itself is wonderful. Brought me back to the game I played on my Gameboy as a child and wonderfully redone for the modern Switch console. Leaves something to be desired performance-wise, which is very unlike most first-party Nintendo titles. When you change areas, the FPS drops pretty heavily and pulls you out of the immersion. Nothing gamebreaking and would still recommend. Hopefully it can be patched to fix.

    This game is an amazing take on a classic. It is a bit short but what it lacks in quantity it makes up for in quality. I've spend hours already exploring it's charming world. Highly recommend.

    All I have to say is that this game has: VERY UPBEAT, STEREOTYPICAL AND HILARIOUS CHARACTERS , THE STORYLINE MAKES SO MUCH SENSE AND ITS SOO CREATIVE, THE DUNGEONS ARE TRICKY BUT ONCE YOU FINISH THEM U FEEL LIKE YOU GOT A WORLD RECORD OR SOMETHING SMH, AND LASTLY THE BOSSES ARENT THESE BOSSES WITH 3000 HEARTS, THEY CAN BE EASILY BEAT IF YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO. the game require big gaming skills and you have to be really smart to beat this.

    I absolutely love this game. It combines the old with the new. Definitely has the feel of the old school game I played as a kid, but holds my interests with new challenges and adventures.

    I have played the original game for the Gameboy back in the day and bought it on the 3DS when it came out for virtual console. I have always liked playing the game but never finished it. Now with this release of the game for the Switch, it made me want to fully complete it more than ever. Plays pretty much the same as the original with some slight tweaks. The game looks gorgeous with the new art style used and makes replaying this game feel more unique. It is not a super long game but it doesn't need to be. This one of the best 2d Zelda games behind A Link between Worlds and a Link to the Past. (though I have not played it yet) I highly recommend the game for anyone that loves The Legend of Zelda and I recommend the game as well for anyone that hasn't played a Zelda game.

    My son and daughter already played the other Zelda game(s). So they had to have this one. It didn't disappoint. They are hooked. Very handy during the COVID-19 lockdown.

    I haven’t played a Zelda game like this before. I know it’s a remake. So that aside it is good I love the art work if it. It’s fun and can be challenging which keeps me playing.
