    Una auténtica joya. Han dado en el clavo en todos los aspectos y han sabido adaptar un juegazo de hace 30 años a los sistemas de juego actuales. Estoy muy contento con este trabajo y compraría más remakes sin pensarlo si Nintendo nos los trae. Quedé enamorado del apartado visual.

    本作完全可以加入到复刻游戏的经典案例当中。虽说内容上是一字不差的复写，但跟随时代脉搏的画质和音乐（在NS平台上），让这款复刻游戏即使放到2019新游戏堆中也是相当能打。画面的艺术风格和精致程度在NS上可谓数一数二，让人爱不释手。这重新编排的交响乐BGM真的是百听不腻。毕竟作为一款几乎没有对话和演出的游戏，玩家的情绪全部就是靠着这BGM来牵动了。不得不说GBC版本真的是超神，这一模一样的游戏内容放到了2019年我仍然乐在其中且丝毫不觉得过时。没有一丝多余的设计，整个游戏可谓是浑然天成。音乐一响起，林克一出现，你立马就进入了老任式的富有童趣的游戏世界当中了。本作完全可以加入到复刻游戏的经典案例当中。虽说内容上是一字不差的复写，但跟随时代脉搏的画质和音乐（在NS平台上），让这款复刻游戏即使放到2019新游戏堆中也是相当能打。画面的艺术风格和精致程度在NS上可谓数一数二，让人爱不释手。这重新编排的交响乐BGM真的是百听不腻。毕竟作为一款几乎没有对话和演出的游戏，玩家的情绪全部就是靠着这BGM来牵动了。不得不说GBC版本真的是超神，这一模一样的游戏内容放到了2019年我仍然乐在其中且丝毫不觉得过时。没有一丝多余的设计，整个游戏可谓是浑然天成。音乐一响起，林克一出现，你立马就进入了老任式的富有童趣的游戏世界当中了。

    I got this game for christmas on my switch bc my dad had it on his gameboy. This game's art style is magnificent and cartoonish. Anyone, any age could enjoy this amazing puzzle solving game. If you have a switch you have to get it. You will not be dissapointed

    Link's Awakening could possibly be one of my favourite Zelda games. I haven't played the original, but I've seen it's very faithful to the original and DX versions.

    I really like the direction they took with the art style, being able to recreate what made the original so special. All the characters and enemies looked really cool, it was really fun to meet all of them. The remixes of the original music was all really cool too, adding so much to areas in the game.

    The dungeon builder isn't as in-depth as people wanted it to be, I see everyone seems to want a Zelda Maker. However, it was really fun to go through he challenges it gave between each of the dungeons. It added that something extra to the game that I really enjoyed.

    If you're interested in playing another Zelda title on your Switch after playing BotW, then this is a must play.    … Expand

    Je n'ai pas pu découvrir ce jeu sur son support original, le voir sur Switch est une excellente idée. La direction artistique est très bien réussie. Le jeu tourne très bien sur la console, excepté quelques baisses légères de framerate. Le jeu est un remake pur et dur, l'ajout du mode donjons maker est sympathique rapidement mais vu que rien n'est inédit, on fait vite le tour.

    Honestly, this might be the most true to the original source material remake I’ve ever played. It’s aged very well as far as story and gameplay goes. It’s a bit overpriced I feel, for such a relatively short game, I think 45$ would be a more appropriate price tag.

My only complaint is you often not having enough direction in what your to do next or what direction your expected to go. Every dungeons puzzles fun and satisfying but the last few overly tedious with backtracking and finding your way. The content is very good and enjoyable without the need for confusing it with a constant lack of direction on what and where to go next. The graphics and effects are awesome and the sounds and music spot on the mark. A really fine and historically popular game that should be played by all. Don't let my small criticism deture you from a purchase and play just be prepared to exercise some patients and plenty of time. I really would've liked to rate this around 8.7/8.8 which is about where it sets on metacritic now. Unfortunately 8 or 9 are the only options and I don't feel I can quite reach to 9. A beautiful update to a true classic.. Enjoy!

    This game is the perfect example of a remake. It updates the graphics and tweaks some gameplay elements. Unfortunately, this game does show its age. The dungeons, while they are fun, they are just a bit too easy and simple. Don't get me wrong, I love this game. But with such a simple game in this day and age, it's hard to justify a higher score.

    This is a remake of a classic 2D Zelda game. It's terrific. If you are a Zelda fan, you will love this game. If you have never played a Zelda game, this would be a good introduction to top-down Zeldas and a cool new way to experience a classic that you might have otherwise overlooked. My only complaint is that sometimes there are framerate stutters.

    Well done remake of the 93 links awakening. The only problem I have with the game is the frame rate drops that happen quite often. When you're in the dungeons it's not as bad, but when you're in the open world it can be very annoying. Aside from that it feels nostalgic of the old Zelda Gameboy games and has a great dungeon builder if you are into that.

    Color-wise though... this game is gorgeous everything pops and the 2 or 3 cutscenes in the game are AMAZING, I also appreciate that the frame rate is "mostly" stable which is good, and hearts/rupees come at a fair enough rate in the game, be prepared for the normal lawn mowing in Zelda games

    Finally, the puzzles are pretty good, but definitely feel outdated, some of these puzzles involve a lot of backtracking and a lot of sorta cryptic stuff, especially in levels 3 and 7, I like the camera angles, and some of the puzzles are super clever, but others annoy me tbh

    So yeah I think 8/10 is fair, the gameplay is good, the colors are great, and the puzzles feel like the early 90s again, I like the Remake it could've been better, but also could've been worse    … Expand

I'm sort of glad I didn't play the original because people seem to be bitter and letting nostalgia get in the way of enjoying this as it's own entity. I will note like others have mentioned that this game is quite short, which does suck with the price tag for this title, but that might be my largest complaint.

    I absolutely adored the graphics for this game. They fully delighted me. They have almost a "plastic" quality to them, but in a way that makes it feel like a physical toy that's moving around within a tiny toy world on your screen. The characters and creatures were absolutely charming in design. I had no issues with framerates when playing, but I did play most of this game handheld.

    The gameplay was fun! Yes, things are a little slow until you start unlocking abilities, but that makes sense to me in the scheme of the game. It makes unlocking new abilities satisfying. Some of the puzzles are a bit difficult and I did have to visit some guides but I personally kind of enjoy that! The boss battles were almost all super fun!

    Most of all I enjoyed the story. It was charming and delightful. The end left me smiling and that's awesome.

    My other main issue aside from the price tag is that I don't really have a draw to go back and sink more time into it now that it's over and that's kind of a shame.

    Overall I would definitely recommend this game. Especially if you can catch it on sale.    … Expand

    As I haven't played the original game, I won't be comparing both versions.

    Link's Awakening was a very fun 2D LoZ adventure. It has a very cutesy aura and gives a feeling of nostalgia. While gameplay feels like playing a classic, the controls are smooth. In terms of story, it certainly does not deliver the 'greatest' or most 'epic' Link's adventure. It simply puts Link on an island and    As I haven't played the original game, I won't be comparing both versions.

In terms of story, it certainly does not deliver the 'greatest' or most 'epic' Link's adventure. It simply puts Link on an island and your objective is to get out. Along the way, you even ask if this island really exists or is just a dream so it's simple but a bit complex at the same time. Not an epic story, but it's fitting.

    I have just 2 main complaints about this entry. The first being the absence of Princess Zelda. She's my favorite character in the series and a LoZ game never feels complete to me without her. But I understand why she has no place here. I'm not a fan-boy to look at that as a flaw. The second and last issue is the framerate. I'm generally someone who tends to avoid talking about minor technical problems but the Switch is a great system and I rarely find fps problems while playing it. It feels odd that a first-party Nintendo title has such a problem.

    Overall, this remake is a success. It keeps a nostalgic feel but the visual improvements make it feel extremely fresh. There are people who complain about the game being too short, but this lasted me around 15 hours and then there's also some additional content and even a hard mode to experience. I'd say it has more than enough content to justify its price.    … Expand

    One of my favourite games in Switch. The remake is faithful to its Gameboy origin. I never thought a classic Zelda game can be so beautiful crafted. Map is small but solid, my only complaint is boss fights might be too easy once you study their move.

    I bought a Switch for this game and I sincerely wish that I could give this game a higher rating. In my opinion Link's Awaking on Game Boy was the best part of Zelda (right after Wind Waker), unfortunately I can't say that about the remake. It's still a great game, with lovely graphics, but performance issues make me take one point away.

El juego original, de la Game Boy, consiguió en su época ser uno de los mejores juegos de su consola, y este remake ha permitido que los jugadores que no pudieron jugar al original disfruten de un juego que hace muy bien todo lo que se propone, con una jugabilidad exquisita, unas mazmorras con fantásticos puzzles y bosses que han envejecido realmente bien y un mundo entrañable tanto por sus dimensiones como por su diseño. Su diseño artístico destaca por su originalidad y brillantez, habiendo logrado un mundo y unos personajes hechos de juguete como si estuviesen en un diorama. Este diseño viene acompañado por unas animaciones que consiguen que verdaderamente se sienta todo hecho de juguete, consiguiendo en su conjunto un arte único y sin precedentes en la industria. La banda sonora tiene varios de los mejores temas de toda la saga de Zelda, y en su mayoría es muy buena; y en el apartado sonoro está bien aunque hay algunos efectos de sonido que quizá ya no pegan tanto con los videojuegos actuales. La historia es una de las más personales y de la saga, y aun siendo bastante anecdótica le encaja como anillo al dedo a la idea del mundo y sus personajes (aunque es cierto que la mayoría de ellos son intrascendentes). Los minijuegos y los coleccionables también están bien implementados y le dan un añadido que complementa sensiblemente el juego, al igual que el nuevo creador de mazmorras de la choza de Dampé. Sin embargo, es cierto que este último es demasiado simple para el potencial que tenía y se podría haber hecho mejor. Como otros puntos negativos puedo destacar lo poco intuitivas que son algunas secciones del juego o la poca profundidad de los powerups, que se podrían haber desarrollado algo más. En conclusión, Link's Awakening es un gran remake y lo recomiendo a todos los jugadores. 9,1/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The remake of Link's Awakening is in my opinion even better than the original, which itself is the second best 2D Zelda after A Link to the Past. I really like the artstyle, the soundtrack is Zelda-typically fantastic and the atmosphere fits perfectly. In terms of gameplay, the game hardly differs from the original, which is why old players will already defeat the final boss after a few hours. However, there were a few small improvements, such as the now permanently equipped power bracelet.
    However, I would like to mention one disappointment. In Dampé, you can now create dungeons. I was hoping that this would finally be some kind of Zelda maker. But no! You can only string together pre-made segments, and then you can't even share your "own" dungeons over the internet, it only works via Amibo.
    Lastly, I wanted to mention that the performance of the game is only acceptable. You regularly notice frame drops and the dynamic resolution is actually always at the minimum. However, this rarely bothered me personally.
    Link's Awakening has always been a great game - and the remake makes it even better. It's easy to overlook the aforementioned problems and become engrossed in such an atmospheric world. For around $40, I therefore give it an absolute buy recommendation.    … Expand

    If Breath of the Wild is the poster child for an open world Zelda, Link's Awakening does the same for linear games in the Zelda franchise. It comes with a condensed world that is packed with eight dungeons where especially the latter ones can be a challenge.

    The remake stays true to the original and this is both a blessing and a curse. The diarama like graphics are cute and gorgeous, but are also hindered by blurred edges which I found disturbing at the start of the game. Personally I would have prefered a reimagining akin what A Link between Worlds did to A Link to the Past. Extras such as the dungeon editor are added, but are mostly forgettable.

    It's not a very large adventure - I clocked in at 25 hours when beating it - but these play hours yield a high fun factor, more so than other similar games. An often overlooked Zelda game, but it continues the tradition of rich gameplay and being a fun game.    … Expand

Su remake para Switch es muy fiel, básicamente es el mismo juego con el apartado gráfico renovado, lo que indica lo bien que ha envejecido, porque no es un remake del que se echen en falta más actualizaciones: el juego es impecable tal cuál es. Sólo tiene alguna actualización de calidad de vida y como principal novedad un editor de mazmorras sin mucho impacto pero que, quién sabe, quizá anticipe un futuro "Zelda Maker".

    Para comprender este juego es conveniente conocer su desarrollo; Link's Awakening es un juego que empezó a gestarse en el tiempo libre de varios desarrolladores, y esto trajo consigo una libertad creativa que llegaría a palparse en el producto final. Para bien o para mal, porque es notorio como se introdujeron sin prejuicios elementos en el juego, sin atarse a la coherencia, destacando la inclusión de referencias al mundo de Nintendo, con personajes y enemigos inspirados en otras sagas de la compañía. Y es que de manera insólita este juego tiene un cierto tono de surrealismo. Tal es así que David Lynch y su serie Twin Peaks, en emisión durante el desarrollo del juego, influyó en el mundo del juego, que por primera vez no se desarrolla en el reino de Hyrule, ni tampoco están Ganon, la Trifuerza y ni siquiera la princesa Zelda, iniciando de esta manera también los The Legend of Zelda diferentes, y diría que también los Zelda extraños, generalmente más oscuros. Este estilo más delirante incorpora también un cierto tono humorístico, algo que veríamos alguna que otra vez en algún que otro Zelda, pero también es precursor en la saga de un aire más melancólico y triste, lo que sería inspiración para el tono de Ocarina of Time, juego que tomaría diversos elementos de Link's Awakening como la pesca.

    Hay que señalar una cuestión, ya que a diferencia de otras sagas de Nintendo, tendríamos una entrega en Super Nintendo antes que en Game Boy. A Link to the Past de Super Nintendo fue el juego que redefinió la saga y Link's Awakening fue una secuela directa (este Link es el mismo de A Link to the Past). Quizá por ello pese a las limitaciones de la portátil se consiguió implementar perfectamente la esencia de un Zelda y, de hecho, en la promoción del juego se remarcó su duración para indicar que la duración de las pilas de Game Boy permitía jugar a un juego de este tipo, con lo cual a diferencia de otras portátiles coetáneas pudo tener un nutrido catálogo de RPGs.

    Cuando se comenta cuál es el mejor Zelda 2D, el primer nombre que surge es el de A Link to the Past pero, también, discutido con este juego, para muchos el mejor Zelda 2D es este Link's Awakening, un gran peso que dejó sobre las posteriores entregas portátiles que, eso sí, en la excelencia de la saga pudieron estar a la altura. Este remake apostó, quizá con cierto riesgo, por una estética chibi, que realmente es fiel al diseño artístico del juego de Game Boy, pero con cierto estilo como de plastilina o de maqueta, logrando un preciosista apartado visual que es una gozada. Mención ineludible a los arreglos para el remake de la banda sonora, un trabajo espectacular que capta todo el encanto de las composiciones originales, una banda sonora llena de magia, aire ensoñador, la melancolía de este juego y un juguetón aire de aventura.

    El resto de aspectos del juego están al sobresaliente nivel habitual de casi todos los Zelda, desde un mundo tan encantador como lleno de misterios hasta, por supuesto, un memorable diseño de mazmorras. Link's Awakening, manteniendo los elementos de A Link to the Past que hacen de éste un puro Zelda, fue también un Zelda diferente, extraño, divertido pero melancólico, que fue una relevante evolución argumental y de ideas en la saga que se consolidarían en Ocarina of Time y, hoy por hoy, con un fiel remake, se mantiene como una obra maestra de los juegos de rol y aventuras.    … Expand
