Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

If you haven't or have played the original on the Gameboy, this game is definitely worth the playthrough. such a good story. There's a bit of a framerate issue here and there, but its not gamebreaking. it could be patched, but who knows if Nintendo will do it. Overall, great game to play.

First time playing this game. I decided to go with the upgraded graphics as the best experience, Not disappointed really, the game is great. However, the frame rate seems to drop every now and then. If you are a fan of the series you wont be disappointed.

This game is amazing. I remember playing this on the original gameboy and having a great time. It was a welcome distraction from all the beatings my dad gave me. The art style in the remake is colorful and the controls have been modified to work well with the Switch. Highly recommended

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.

I remember when I was 7 and recieve my first original gameboy it came with this little gem called The Legend of Zelda Link Awakening. The sad part I never really beat it and bum me out being very young had a difficult time play it. So when Nintendo announced an acutal remake for the switch. To be honest, I did not like the look of it that it didn't grab me. But last week, i suddenly change my mind and gave it a go. I was so wrong that I love this cute game and how beautiful this mysterious island really is that Nintendo put a lot love to this classic. Truthfully, I not a big zelda fan but I own it to myself to play this gem again. Link Awakening is the only zelda game I really care about, Goty material, and a timeless classic I glad to have on the switch.

This is a really nostalgic game to play and I very much enjoyed revisiting this game with the new beautiful graphics. They have added more items to find, which does make for a bit of added interest. However, I found this game to be really easy. I have never 100%ed a game on the first playthrough, but this game was so short that it almost seems necessary to do everything to get your money's worth. It's definitely fun and still worth playing just a bit disappointing if you're looking for the length or difficulty of the more recent zelda games.

This is a fantastic game for anyone who is a fan of The Legend of Zelda. The art style is amazing and will have you exploring the game for hours. Overall this game has a great story and an amazing art style. I would recommend this game to anyone who wants to play a fun game.

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.

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

Missed this the first time around when it was a GB game. This remake ticks all the boxes of a great Zelda game. It can get frustrating at times with the frame rate and the “Mario maker”-esque dungeon builder is kinda lame... but as a Zelda game this game is great!

If you are a fan of the original classic than you will enjoy this installment. The game honors the classic very well, from the gameplay to the music. There are added features like the dungeon creator helps the game standout as a new game. Totally worth buying.

Excellent nostalgia. I loved this game way back when. Replayability is a little low though, once you 100% the game, I didn't feel inclined to do it again. The updated graphics were excellent though and the controls smooth and intuitive.

this is an amazing remake. i recommend everyone who owns a switch to play this game. the art style is gorgeous and it provides everything you can ask from a top-down view zelda game. took around 18 hours to play the entire story.

I really enjoyed this game. It's nice to have an adventure game sometimes that doesn't last 60 hours and that gets right to the gameplay. It feels like the original or Link to the Past. It's a bit easy if you played all the older games, but I totally recommend it.

Link's Awakening was definitely one of my favorite Zelda titles growing up and I'm stoked that Nintendo made the decision to revisit it, with an amazing new art style and gameplay tweaks. The graphics almost resemble that of a toy playset and I'm here for it. Outside of that, it's the game you know and love for a new generation. As much fun as I'm having so far though, the game does have some performance issues, but hopefully they'll be addressed with a future patch. Regardless, it's a great time to be a Zelda fan.

Admittedly, I have always wanted to play a Zelda game, but never have before this one. From the first time I put this on, I was obsessed. The art style, the music, the gameplay -- all on point!

...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.

Now, this is how a remake should be done. The graphics are charming and vibrant and the art style looks like your controlling little plastic figurines. All of the same gameplay is retained but the new coat of paint really brings this classic gem to life.

Excellent remake of a classic Zelda game. Graphics are great, controls are spot on. Wish the length was a little longer but it was a game boy game so in terms of that it is a lengthy game.
