Description

“Castaway, you should know the truth.” As Link, you awaken in a strange land away from Hyrule, where animals talk and monsters roam. To uncover the truth behind your whereabouts and rouse the legendary Wind Fish, explore Koholint Island and all its trap-ridden dungeons, reimagined in stunning detail for this new release of one of the most beloved The Legend of Zelda games. Along the way, you’ll meet a hilarious assortment of charming characters to which you’ll never want to say goodbye. In this new version of the game, the classic soundtrack has been reborn with new arrangements, and now you can equip more items at once, review key conversations, and navigate the map in new ways. Try your hand at the renovated mini-games to earn dolls based on the Super Mario series or Chamber Stones. These unusual stones can be used to arrange your own Chamber Dungeons; each one is a puzzle in and of itself. Place chambers from dungeons found throughout the game on a series of objective-based grids. Where should the bosses go? How do you get from the entrance to the stairwell? They’re your dungeons, so arrange them however you see fit. To earn more Chamber Stones, you must conquer the main adventure’s dungeons and mini-games or tap any amiibo featuring a The Legend of Zelda character to unlock Chambers exclusive to amiibo.​ 1993-2019 Nintendo.

    • One of the better classic game remake done faithfully correct!
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Standard
Wow!!! When I first saw the announcement trailer for this game, I was absolutely SHOCKED! Why? Link's Awakening is a CLASSIC Gameboy game from the 90s that I played and absolutely ENJOYED. After playing, enjoying and beaten the first 3 Zelda games: The Legend of Zelda (NES), The Adventure of Link (NES) and A Link to the Past (SNES) which by the way were groundbreaking games at the time back then. 2 years later after A Link to the Past, Nintendo released Link's Awakening for the GameBoy. I was very intrigued that Nintendo would release a Zelda game for the GameBoy because I wondered how Nintendo could transform the magic of Zelda games into a portable gaming device. I remembered purchasing Link's Awakening just 3 months after it was released in 1993 because I was doing landscaping jobs for my neighborhood and saving up money from mowing lawns, raking leaves, trimming bushes, etc. Games were insanely expensive back then and it can be difficult to decide which game to purchase that will be worth your money's worth. I purchased Link's Awakening from Toysrus store, rushed home and booted up the game. The opening scene of the game instantly had me excited and I was blown away how detailed it looked! I went ahead and beat the game over the course of 3 days because the game was THAT good. Plus, I absolutely loved exploring every inch of the game as well. I loved this game so much that I even rebought the game again on the GameBoy Color which was titled: 'Link's Awakening DX' and again for the Nintendo 3DS via eshop. So, you can imagine how insanely excited I was when I saw the opening scene of Link's Awakening when Nintendo revealed the game during Nintendo Direct. I couldn't believe Link's Awakening was getting a remake for the Nintendo Switch! Plus, I was happy that Nintendo released this remake at the right time because Link's Awakening can tide me over while waiting for Breath of the Wild sequel releasing on the Switch in the future. Everything about this Link's Awakening is absolutely 100% faithful to the original gameboy game and the graphics just make this game even more appealing to see. It reminds me of Zelda Wind Waker for the Nintendo Gamecube because so many fanboys were absolutely upset about how the graphics look for Wind Waker. Eventually, Wind Waker ends up becoming one of the best Zelda games to be released since Ocarina of Time. All the same fanboys that were very angry and upset at the graphics, they suddenly forgotten that they judged the game so quickly during the reveal and they suddenly say how much they love the graphics in Wind Waker, LOL!! Wind Waker also went on to become one of the favorites Zelda games to play in the speed running community. Anyways, if you haven't ever played Link's Awakening, then I strongly recommend that you buy this game ASAP because you wont regret it one bit. If you have played Link's Awakening, guess what? I still recommend buying this remake as well. If you enjoyed or didn't fully enjoy Link's Awakening on the GameBoy or Gameboy Color or Nintendo 3DS virtual game via eshop, then this remake will definitely make you love Link's Awakening. Forgive me for the long/boring review I've just typed up and buy this game asap! ... show more

    • So fun!
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Standard
I am a dipper in the Zelda realm. I'm not a hardcore Zelda gamer, but I've played a few of them. I have fallen in love with this one. In the very beginning when you are not very powerful it's discouraging, but as you get up there, it becomes a wonderful game experience.

    • Great remake of an already great game!
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Standard
The announcement of this remake was a welcome surprise. The game is as fun as when I played it on the Gameboy. I like the figurine style of the characters and I also like the music. The game map (in most areas) is no longer grid based meaning each area is not a sperate "room." When you open the map, you can place pins for points of interest that you can't reach at the moment. Like in the origianl game, you start at the last enterance of an area wher we you previously saved. If you fall into a pit, you return right to it rather than where you entered that area. There are more warp points as well. Also, after you receive a certain item you can warp to these areas at anytime you are not in a dungeon. The sword and shield have their own dedicated buttons so you no longer have to pause and witch out these items. This is also true for the peguses boots and power bracelet items. There are now bottles you can use to catch faeries but unlike other Zelda titles, you'll need to set them free before your hearts deplete or it's game over. Other new items include the seashell finder and figurines that can decorate certain areas. The gameplay is a little different. For example, enemies carrying shields need to be stunned before you can deal damage to them. Because you use the joystick, you can use items in eight directions. The trendy game and fishing pond are also slightly different than the original game. Another new feature is the ability to see past events via Memories on the menu screen. For the most part all characters keep the same duologue. A new charater, Dampé, makes an appearance for a Zelda Maker style dungeon where you can earn items. When you need a hint, you can call Urlia from the telephone boths scatters across the map. While the characters' diolouge are short they keep the same charm. There is not much to the story which is not a bad thing. Your goal is to wake the Wind Fish and your quest requires you to find the intsruments hidden in each dungeon. In doing so, you have to defeat the nightmares. The dungeons are basically the same as they were on the Gameboy but like mentioned before, most don't have dedicated screens for each room. The color dungeon from the DX GBC version also returns but I didn't check it out on my first playthrough. The game has an aitosave feature which comes in handy if you forget to save. Somtle of the downsides is the framerate changes to 30 fps whenever you enter/exit an area like a building or cave. There is also a blur around the screen but while I am uncertain if that was part of the game (like Octopath Traveler) I didn't find it a big distraction. As a fan of the original I didn't think twice about paying $60 for this game. It was like playing it for the first time. It took me around 12 hours playing on Hard Mode so I'd say it would take new players that long on normal. However, if you are new to this title and style of game you may be hesitant to pay so much. So I would say wait for it to drop by $10. This is a fantastic (though not flawless) remake of the original and I highly recommend it to all Zelda Fans or those who like top-down action adventure games. ... show more

    • Great Remake for Fans of Zelda and 2D Style Games
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Standard
I didn't play the original; many online lament that the game is not worth the price due to it being "short" and accesible emulated. I thought this remake was well made and featured quality of life additions that I have read that the handheld versions lacked. This is my first main-line 2D Zelda game; I had previously played the 3DS remakes of the 3D N64 games and enjoyed them but I think I liked Link's Awakening more due to it's portable nature and simpler tone. The game doesn't have as deep as a story as some of the other Zelda games; but it does have a darker undertone with great character interactions along with great dungeons and fun game mechanics! I played this game in Spanish to help me practice and I thought the translation was good in both English and Spanish. I paid full price for this game and had gotten my money's worth. I completed this game between 10-15 hours; I disagree with some saying that's a short game. ... show more
