Great Game, so much fun and nostalgia! I vaguely remember playing this on Gameboy but it is so much better on the big screen.

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.

What a fantastic game. Everything about it is seamless, apart from the Frame rates which doesn't hinge the experience at all. A must buy!

What a fun Zelda game!! The only big downside is that it felt like it ended just as it was starting up. I beat the game in a little over 5 hours of gameplay. It was fun, just very short-lived. Definitely not a game I'd spend full price on. Get it when it is <$40, granted it ever got that low.

As a fan who recently lost his game boy saves from the battery dieing... This is a great way to replay it. It feels almost exactly like it did before but with a cute 3D art style.
You could almost say it's... Dreamlike.
For newcomers. It's likely the strangest Zelda ever made. With so many Mario enemies present in places it's definitely still surreal. And it's well worth the 60 dollars.
If you lamented not getting a classic Zelda with breath of the wild in 2017...
This is just what the doctor ordered.

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

I have never played Links Awakening before. Even though I’m a Zelda fanatic, this one was part of the few Zelda games I never played. Well, i got this one as a Christmas present but I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I did.
Man, it’s crazy how they did this game on a gameboy.
The jump technique really gives the 2d formula of Zelda a much needed variety and it’s crazy how they never returned to this formula over the years.
I really recommend this game for everyone, even young kids.
