    Cute graphics and fun nastalgia but wayyyy too much backtracking. Kind of a meh RPG in this day and age. Too bad because I find the graphics to be fun and quirky.

    As someone who played the original, this is a lovely remake that captures the spirit of the original! It is a little expensive for what you’re getting and there are occasional frame rate issues, but it’s still a great addition to any switch library.

    Overall a nice throwback to a beloved title in the series. This game brings a lot of natural quality of life changes due the fact you have more than the A and B buttons from the gameboy.

A fun romp on koholint island is welcome after about 2 decades. I would have liked there to be more to do with Dampe's dungeon creation tool as well. It is very restrictive, and you can't even share your creations(not that I would considering how lame it turned out to be). I hope the feature was just a test run for a dungeon creation tool ala mario maker.

    In total I can say the game is fun, but not worth the full $60 asking price. When the original game on gameboy released for $30, it is a big ask when so little has been changed or added. If this were a new game and not a remake, I'd understand. But I'd say wait to buy it used on Ebay or a sale. If you are a diehard fan, there is no other reason to put it off though. So snag it and play it. I had a great time, and you will too!    … Expand

    Played breath of the wild so I thought about giving this game a try. It’s an ok game at best for someone who isn’t so deep into the Zelda lore this game isn’t anything ground breaking. If you’re on a tight budget and deciding if u should get this game or not I’d say wait till it’s on sale

    I've only previously played Breath of the Wild, found a lot to like about that game, but ultimately it was a huge world with almost nothing to do. So I thought that Link's Awakening would turn me into a Zelda fan, since the original is considered to be one of the finest entries in the franchise. The trailers looked too cute to overlook, so I bought the game.

The trailers looked too cute to overlook, so I bought the game.

    This is, without a doubt, one of the most boring games on the Switch. The gameplay consists of repetitively mashing two buttons and walking around. I understand that this is a remake of an old game, but when your progression depends on trading items with certain NPCs in the correct sequence, I cannot possibly enjoy the game. My experience was composed of playing for 15 minutes, then going on YouTube for walkthrough guidelines. Since this is a remake, tweaking the final product to fit into the habitat of modern games would not be a bad idea. Of course, appealing to the fans of the original is important, but you're trying to attract new players. This is, by no means, a game that should've come out in this state in 2019. The Switch can run the damn Witcher 3 at 30 frames, but it can't handle a smooth 60 fps experience of this game? Every transition between locations is met with a massive frame drop which pisses you off each time it happens.

    There are some positives, however. The atmosphere is cute, the music is awesome and adds to the experience by fitting the sound with the visuals on display. Some enemy designs were decent, and their abundance was gratifying. Nonetheless, with all these attributes present, I was consistently bored and found myself pushing to the end in order to justify the 60 dollar purchase. I failed, though, and didn't finish it. This is by far the worst 60 dollar purchase of my entire life. Take that as you may and be cautious to what you read about this game online, because it's mostly fans of the original praising the remake on what it did faithfully, which I found to be some of the worst aspects of the games(i.e. the gameplay and the story)    … Expand

    So this may be a mildly controversial opinion, the 1993 original was better. There's a fair amount of good and bad to discuss with the game though to be fair, the good points aren't anything to do with this iteration of the game but more just the original shining through.

    Pros:
    1. This is Link's Awakening, one of the best original Gameboy games from the early 90's.
    2. Endearing art style even though some things look rather basic.
    3. These are all directly from the original; the item variety, the inclusion of enemies from other classic Nintendo games, the decent sized world to explore and find secrets in.

    Cons:
    1. Input lag, this is most noticeable when using the Roc's Feather so far.
    2. Framerate issues, the framerate chugs at times for no discernible reason.
    3. Horrible blur covering roughly the top and bottom 20% of the screen, this may have been an artistic choice but it looks really bad.
    4. Shaking text boxes, trying to read text that's constantly shifting around is a great way to get a headache.
    5. 8 directional movement feels out of place, this is purely subjective due to me playing the Gameboy version of this game a good amount.
    6. Control customization, it's not possible to move with a d-pad if you have a controller with one prominent, the A-button is used purely for context commands and interactions rather than being customizeable, you can only map items to X and Y which can mean some actions like jumping with the Roc's feather feel unnatural.

    Overall it's a decent remake but not for anything the remake did but because of how good the original is. If you're not a huge Zelda fan who simply has to play/own them all you can happily skip this.    … Expand

    That said, Link's Awakening is Link's Awakening. Aside from the issues above, it's still a fantastic game and there have been significant improvements made to the minigames and button mappings. Good experience, but the constant performance issues and "Nintendo gonna Nintendo" price point really do bring it down a few points for me.    … Expand

    Way too direct of a remake. Has all the negative holdovers of an older game, without enough positives. A Link Between Worlds (2013) has 5X as much content as Link's Awakening and it's wrapped in a better package. If you were expecting more like ALBW; don't.
    Link's Awakening itself isn't such a bad game, but it's not 1993 anymore. We don't need straight remakes of 1993 games.

    I totally digged it for the first 2-3 dungeons and side missions but the "wow" factor of the remake graphics quickly faded and the very simplist errands began to feel more like a chore.

    The game is great, but it's hard to say it's worth it when you can have some very deep games like Breath of the Wild for the same price tag.    … Expand

It is for this fact alone that I give it a 6. If it wasn’t for this I would have no problem bumping it up to a 8. Why a 8? Well it’s a great Zelda game but not worthy of a score higher than that based off of gameplay, etc. A lot of people seem to be giving it a high score solely based on the fact it is a Zelda game which is completely off base.

I was really disappointed. My overall feelings are at the bottom so if you don't want to read thru everything just go to the bottom for a quick overview.

    Graphics: 7/10
    I could never get into the graphical style but to me that was not a big deal, what was really annoying was the frame drops and the motion blur that blurred out the bottom 1/8 of my television and i checked several games its just this game that's doing it meaning they put it there purposely and it felt disorienting when i was looking to go down and it felt like they purposely did that to help the frame rate which still has issues.

    Controls 8/10: The quality of life improvements are fantastic. After i beat it i looked at what they added and changed and the control changes were a welcome addition to the game always having the sword, shield and pegasus boots equipped makes for much smoother game play and the controls were very fluent except when it came to movement. movement was way too tight and it felt way too rigid and stiff and the fact its only 8 directions hammered that in. I feel like going with 3d movement like link between worlds would have fixed this issues and because of that it makes his movements look really awkward when walking and its noticeable especially when you turn it reminds me of Pokemon X/Y or ORAS where they would awkwardly move diagonally because they were still adapting to 3d movement when LoZ has had it for years at this point. It also makes dodging enemies much harder than it needs to be and there were countless times where it felt like i could have dodge d that if i had proper joystick movement.

    Game play: 9/10
    The game play was great and fluent and i really did like how all the items were useful, even the later ones like the mirror shield which meant that guarding reflect projectiles of enemies meaning you did not need to waste time with throwing enemies it made great use of everything and it did it brilliantly

    story 10/10
    I really loved this story and how simple it was. It truly was great and the story beats really came off strong and loved how the story played out.

    Content: 3/10
    This is where it falls short and does fall hard. They added more seashells and hearts and they added Dampe's shack. The seashells and heart pieces were easy to find and figuring out how to get them was not hard because after 15 seashells you get the seashell tracker but it added very little to increase the time played. Dampe was an even bigger disappointment because after you do his 3rd level of challenges he offers literally nothing useful because by the time you unlock the other trials unless you are going to collect every stone tablet its worthless. Since you can only play with others if they have Amiibo its totally worthless and this should have had online and feels like they really cut stuff out to get it out on time. I completed this game 100% meaning all heart pieces, seashells and all items and side missions done in 18 hours. I expect more than that from a 60 dollar Zelda game that is new it was just disappointing and i go into all LoZ without expectations and this is better than skyward sword but there are so many better LoZ that do it better and one of those being BotW. I liked the game but for 60 dollars you better be offering a ton of content. Its a switch game that feels like a game made for Nintendo 3ds but came too late. with console games i have way higher expectations than handheld and this just does not meet those requirements to be considered acceptable especially for a 60 dollar game.

    Overall: 7.5/10

    its definitely not the worst legend of zelda but to me its the most disappointing because of the price of the game and how short the game is with its lackluster amount of content. This game IS NOT BAD JUST DISAPPOINTING; especially since it costs 60 dollars. The game play, story are great, the controls and graphics are very mixed with the movement controls being way to rigid and stiff and the frame rate drops plus that Bad motion blur at the bottom of the screen. Id say wait for a price drop and then pick it up because this feels like a 40 dollar game and not a 60 dollar one.    … Expand

So obviously their intention was not to make game like FF7 remake, but rather another "Wind Waker HD" and convert good old game you know to modern standard. And they succeeded! Problem is that in 2020 Link's Awakening is not that good game anymore considering modern competition or even other, newer Zeldas. Strongly recommended if you never played Link's Awakening (it's classic!) or wanted to bring back good old memories of your childhood. Otherwise, you can just pass by.

    Another major issue the game has is performance. The game uses double buffered VSync, which basically means if it drops any frames it'll plummet from 60fps to 30fps (and then back up), and this happens all the time, which makes for a very choppy experience. I honestly expect better from Nintendo.

    Where the game shines is visuals, it's a gorgeous looking game with a great art style. It's also top-notch in the audio department. The gameplay is also solid, but tarnished by the performance problems. I found all the boss fights very easy apart from the last one, which was a good difficulty without being cheap.

    The game is very short, which was OK for me as I wasn't enjoying it, but it's worth mentioning it's only about 5 hours. I personally rented it and I feel that's the smart thing to do.    … Expand

But it's very evident the game is really old and just got a reskin, and it goes beyond just the inconvenience of flipping buttons via an inventory. The entire level design is horrible, and it's extremely easy to get lost and simply loose track of what you should do and why. And many of the pussles make no sense. There's no communication or hints of why you should do something. To be honest it felt lazy and dumb, and then a bunch of horrible back trackning through a landscape that makes no sense. The old ways of design also gets worse by the end of the game. At first it was okay, or acceptable, but soon it became a real hassle. But don't worry about the length, that's estimated by people who have played the original and offcourse, if you've already played a game but with worse graphics, offcourse it will take less time the second time through. This will give you at least 10-20 hours of agonizing fun. In the end, I cannot recommend this game. At a third of the price point it would be a "Maybe". Full price, a definite no.… Expand

It is a non-sense, if you do not want to spend countless hours searching an searching you end up googling the solution, and I do not like those games that require me to dedicate tons of hours to discovers hidden non-logical clues. It is better if you put your money in many of the other super cool titles on switch, including the last Zelda, Breath of the wild. Very few games produce in me that feeling that I want it to be over, and it has generated me that feeling after reaching 50% of the game.… Expand

    Cuando se anunció un remake de Link 's Awakening se me subió el hype por este juego, ya que es mi segundo Zelda en 2d favorito, solo por detrás del magnífico A Link to the Past. Es uno de los juegos más decepcionantes del año. Graficos pastelosos para niños de 3 o 4 años, caídas de frames inexplicables para un juego de este tipo. Su banda sonora si es muy buena (lo único) y su dificultadCuando se anunció un remake de Link 's Awakening se me subió el hype por este juego, ya que es mi segundo Zelda en 2d favorito, solo por detrás del magnífico A Link to the Past. Es uno de los juegos más decepcionantes del año. Graficos pastelosos para niños de 3 o 4 años, caídas de frames inexplicables para un juego de este tipo. Su banda sonora si es muy buena (lo único) y su dificultad bastante baja. Mantiene más o menos la misma duración del original, es corto. El editor de mazmorras ni lo utilizarás, debido a que este es bastante cutre y lo peor es que te lo venden al mismo precio de los AAA de novedad, Vamos, que si no quieres llevarte un disgusto, quédate con la imágen del original.… Expand

    So what do i think about this game?

    its not a new age type game where you get an arrow or a map marker that helps you complete the game. This game is old school,you need to work on completing challenges, you need to think outside the box to complete puzzles. you need to figure out what is next without a npc holding your hand This all makes it fun. The art style is not for everyone .    So what do i think about this game?

    The game is not for everyone. I think this the game was over hyped.

    It is not worth the asking price in my opinion.

    i would say the value of this game would be half the current cost    … Expand

    I can only hope that its sales success will lead to a patch that fixes the framerate dips, and more importantly, the development of more Zelda games in this style. [Issue #43 – November/December 2019, p. 10SH]

    If you need a nostalgia trip or haven’t played Link’s Awakening before, then you won’t be disappointed with this release. Just note that it is a bit more bite-sized when compared to more recent entries in the series.

    Awakening’s world is much smaller than Breath of the Wild’s Hyrule. But within the island’s depths lies something that was missing from the last game – eight difficult, multi-layered dungeons, each with its own theme, traps and puzzles. [Issue#241, p.66]
