Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

Great games super neat take for Zelda puzzlin adventuring all that jazz

Super fun game, dident last as long as I wanted but if you do all small missions and side tasks it lasts a bit longer

Great game and even better on NS2! Graphics are greatly improved.

Awesome nostalgic game. Must have for any Zelda fans, especially of the SNES version!!!!

This game is exactly what any adult that enjoys well made games should be looking for. The challenging toy land that you are placed into is matched only by the beautiful design of the landscape. It feels like you put on a pair of rose colored glasses and popped in ANY game from the 90s. First time playing this game old or new and I feel as though this game makes our modern games look pathetic in comparison to how effortless the flow of the game is

Great remaster of a zelda classic a must have for zelda fans

Such a classic game and love that its is remade for switch!

I have not played this one yet but I'm sure it's easier then the other Zelda games.

Absolutely loving this game and was thinking that this is the perfect game for introducing your son or daughter to the world of Zelda. The dungeons aren’t terribly challenging but not a breeze either. The owl guides Link in a fairly straightforward manor and the map unfolds in a logical way without the risk of getting lost. The graphical style is great and overall I’m just really enjoying it. Very glad I picked it up!

Love the game, good pictures and moves, will get the bext gen

Based on the classic Game Boy Color game, Link's Awakening fixes a lot of small problems with the original. You have better access to your inventory now instead of constantly switching back and forth to equip items. There are also no loading screens like in the GBC version, so everything now is interconnected. However, when you move into a new area the game goes from 60fps to about 30 FPS in order to load all assets of the area that you're in. It is a slight annoyance at first but you soon get used to it after a while. Hopefully this occurrence gets somehow patched out later on, but it doesn't ruin the experience though. There are a couple of new goodies here and there in this remake but for the vast majority the game is how you remembered it back in the day. The art style for this game at first may seem to not be a good choice, but it suits it considering it was an old GBC game. Objects and towns look like they were beautifully handcrafted in a claymation kind of way, with background fire and water effects looking quite realistic to contrast it. It is a quite good 10 to 15 hour experience (depending if you played the original or not) to enjoy.

It's a cute game, it's a fun game, and it's highly entertaining for fans of the series and newcomers alike. The only problem: I wish it was longer! A solid 15 hours to beat, compared to BoTW (and similar titles) coming in at ~60-90.

So fun to play from Zelda’s side! Definitely a learning curve but by the end we got the hang of it!

This game is cute. It has an animal crossing vibe to it as far as the sounds and animation. It’s an easy to understand version of Zelda that is not as in depth a story as the other Zelda available to buy. We are happy with the purchase of this game. It’s great for young kids.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is a gem bursting with charm and intricate puzzles. This updated classic is a nostalgia trip for veteran fans and a masterpiece for any adventure game enthusiast. The graphics are insanely cute and vibrant, adding to the whimsical feel. Unfortunately, some performance issues like occasional slowdown can be distracting. However, don't let these technical flaws deter you from trying this marvelous game. If you love charming adventures with a playful art style, Link's Awakening is a must-play.

Love all the Zelda games. Only thing since this is a remake should be less then 59.99!!

It's so fun to step back into this amazing world Nintendo has cooked up. This is one of the best games I played as a child on my GameBoy, and will continue to be one of the best games of my generation. Nintendo has done a beautiful job recapturing the magic of the original game and updating it for all of us 26 years later.

Great game! I enjoy the gameplay, had a lot of fun when playing it.
