    Nostalgia is fantastic, and this game delivers. Nothing more I could have asked for. If you loved Link to the Past you’ll fall in love with this game. Takes everything that made Link to the Past great and built on it. Sweet graphics and game mechanics.

    An absolute must have on the system - a game which was already near perfect when it comes to the story and gameplay was beautifully remastered, fixing all the errors and adding lot of new content.

(heh, dreamers edition) It's everything I could have asked for. Gameplay is smooth, frame rates may seem unstable at first but when you get lost in the adventure you stop noticing it and you are absorbed in this little world(Seriously, it smooths itself out where it matters, I see what they did. I would rather have this "unlocked" frame rate than a solid 30, its perfect the way it is Nintendo). Controls are so tight, and Link is a blast to maneuver. I am not a fan of the dungeon editor, but I know a huge chunk of people will love this and it will add 100's - 1000's of hours of gameplay. I literally cannot put this game down, I played it on a 65" Samsung 4K display and it is GORGEOUS. I played in handheld mode last night...still gorgeous, this game is just so darn cute! If you love Zelda games or want to revisit this, there is no reason to not own it at this point, especially if you own a Switch, its a must have.

    Also, we all know that the story-factor behind almost every Zelda game is quite weak.

    Link's Awakening is a remake of the 1993 Game Boy game of the same title. it is the only Zelda game (at least to my perception), that does not have Zelda and/or Ganon but has completely different characters; and talking about different, Nintendo went really crazy with adding characters from other Nintendo franchises like Kirby, Yoshi, Goombas, Boos, Piranha Plants and many others.

It does sound crazy, but it sure does work a lot!

    The game is significantly balanced between staying faithful to the original version and having additions (attacking diagonally, jump attack etc.) which combined with fantastic art style make the game look really fresh and new.

    The graphics are absolutely stunning in both handheld and docked mode; Link, Marin and the whole Koholint island look more cute and charming than ever. However, there are some frame drops here and there in the outer world, but they do not affect gameplay and I am sure that Nintendo will definitely improve the game to perfection with future updates.

    The game could be on the easy side for some, but Nintendo has Hero Mode available right from the start for those who look for some real challenge. Moreover, the ability of creating your own dungeons at "Dampé's Shack" adds a lot of replay value to the game.

    Overall, Link's Awakening is a fantastic experience on the Switch. Nintendo brought back the 2D/2.5D Zelda formula in an exeptional way. It is not only one of the reasons to own a Nintendo Switch, but it could also work as an introduction to the whole Zelda franchise. People who played the original will feel the nostalgia right from the start and those who never experienced the game before, will definitely have a unique and memorable experience. I just cannot recommend the game enough.    … Expand

    Now, in 2019, I replayed this Masterpiece and can't praise it enough. Sadly it has some downsides. Lets break it down:

    Pros:
    - awesome and adorable graphics
    - stays true to the original (memories from my childhood)
    - awesome music / sound / atmosphere
    - beautiful, yet simple story
    - improved game mechanics
    - awesome world to explore
    - many secrets to catch
    - lovley characters
    - fun and well designed dungeons (but not that challenging)

    Cons:
    - framedrops are recognizable (you get used to it but in the beginning its kinda annoying)
    - if you dont know the game and are hoping for a long playtime (like BotW), this game might dissapoint you (playtime is around 10-15h, which is completely fine to me, but maybe not for others)
    - low difficulty (if it is your first time picking up this game and are an gaming enthusiast, it might be to easy for you - I highly recommend playing in hard mode, even for the first playthrough)
    - dungeon maker could be more than it has become (online sharing, more freedom to create dungeons)

    Verdict:
    All in all I am absolutely happy with this remake. It gave me a lot of memories and a really good time. I love the art and the overall atmosphere of the game. The story is simple but oh so beautiful. Framedrops are annoying but maybe they will patch that.
    If you are new to the Zelda franchise or never had the chance to play this game (or didnt enjoy the retro graphics on GB) now is your time to enjoy one of the best games ever made.    … Expand

    -La resolución pues llega a mas 720p, y se ve genial en modo portátil como siempre
    -Los controles parecen haber mejorado pese a que puedes asignar los botones.
    -La musica y banda sonora estan geniales, re hechos desde cero.

    Y por ultimo el rendimiento que... si vien podia caer hasta a 30fps pues ya se explicó que esto suele pasar cuando el juego esta guardado en el SD, si transfieres el juego a la memoria de Nintendo Switch o usas Cartucho, esas bajadas de Framerate desapareceran, lo cual es una gran Noticia.



    Mi nota final es de 95, pero metacritic solo deja poner numeros enteros xddd, asi que lo redondeare. Hasta la proxima gente Att: Mr. v:    … Expand

    Just as fun and addicting as it was 25 years ago. And since it’s been roughly 25 years since I’ve played this game, it almost felt like a brand new experience since I’d forgotten about so much of the experience. Cool visual style and nice music. 15 hours or so we’ll spent. My only gripe about the game was that it was $60.

    Desde que salió el primer trailer de este remaster, siempre supe que iría a cumplir con todas mis espectativas, pero no de una manera tan milagrosa y fascinante como lo llegó a hacer este título.
    Tiene más que merecido sus 10, pues sus caídas de frames que ocurren muy rara vez al tener el juego en una MicroSD no son algo que malogre este pedazo de obra maestra.

    Such a stunning game visually. Not only that but the world feels alive and the gameplay is top notch. Crazy to think that these dungeons are some of the best designed 26 years later. The game was a head of its time, and has stood the test of time. I’d really love them to give this treatment to other past Zelda game boy games. What a gem to behold.

    A true retelling of the gameboy classic. This is a gem of a game for any zelda fan. The only small change to compain about is the respawn after falling into a pit. It has been changed for the majority of the overworld and dungeons to pop you right back up at the edge of the pit you fell in instead of the esge of the screen or doorway you entered from.

It has been changed for the majority of the overworld and dungeons to pop you right back up at the edge of the pit you fell in instead of the esge of the screen or doorway you entered from. The reason this is confusing is some duneons with break away floors still have the spawn at the door mechanic in place to prevent you from getting stranded in a place you cant escape from leading to a few accidental falls back into the same hole. With that being said, this is a 5 star play so far. Great job Nintendo! Looking forward to the oracle series that is likely next in line.… Expand

And I am beyond excited to say that this is a remake worth buying! As a pretty big fan of the original 1993 release, I was hoping that this would bring back all the fun memories I had with the original. I have loved exploring the newly polished island and beating all the dungeons along the way! The graphics and musical score are the main highlights for me.

    The only problem would be the framerate drops, but I am honestly fine with it. The price point is a problem for some, but most people have never played the original, so this is a whole new experience for them. If people want to use virtual console or emulate, that’s up to them. But I would highly recommend buying the new 2019 version due to more content and a fresher experience!

    Overall, I’d give it a 9.6/10 due to its fun design and brilliance all around    … Expand

    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]
