I found playing through a modern imagining of this classic to be almost perfect. While it doesn’t reinvent the franchise or break convention, it never acts like it wants to. There’s something comforting about returning to a world like this: to know its every corner, to recognize its colorful cast, to feel truly lost in the experience.
Link’s Awakening hasn’t aged a bit. It’s fantastic design with now beautiful graphics make it as enjoyable as when it came out. No matter if you played it a million times or if you hadn’t heard about it before, it’s an adventure you cannot miss.
Um dos meu zelda preferido é tão engraçado e surpreendente. Primeiro que é o único zelda que eu joguei que você não precisa salvar a zelda, kkkkkkk.
Segundo ele tem um elenco de personagens muito engraçados além de que as aventuras do link nesse jogo dão muitos inusitadas. Por favor se vx tem um nintendo switch jogue esse jogo
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on Switch reasserts the original's position as one of the richest, strangest and most affecting games in the series.
Despite some uncertainty regarding the framerate The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is an excellent remake, which enhances the original experience in every way and makes it modern thanks to a very valuable series of improvements.
Link’s Awakening is a fantastic remake of a game that was fantastic in 1993. Fans must decide for themselves if those two things combine to make it a fantastic game in 2019 – particularly when the glorious Cadence of Hyrule is also on the Switch to scratch the itch you may have for 2D Zelda – and at a third of the price.
Unless you find this one on sale, do yourself a favor and grab Link’s Awakening DX instead. You’ll have the same game, minus the Chamber Dungeon, and updated graphics and still have plenty left over to get some other excellent titles.
Having played the Game Boy version from beginning to end more than once, I wasn't expecting to like the game as much as I did. The new visuals shine a new light into the world and story, indirectly giving more depth to the plot. Also, the sound and music are awesome, every single track well made. The game runs well too, maintaining 60fps during most of the game, but frequently dropping to 30fps for a few seconds as the game loads new assets. This new version also optimize the controls while being faithful to the original gameplay feel. And excelent way to experience a classic Zelda game on Switch.
The problem with this game is that it gives you little direction of where to go to progress at the start of the game and what you need to do. At the start is very boring and leaves little to be desired, however, once you've figured it out and progressed, levels Link up, it gets a lot better and turns into an enjoyable experience.
There’s no denying Link’s Awakening is a very enjoyable adventure, however. It hits you right in the nostalgia spot if you’ve played before, and even if you haven’t it stands up well against more modern titles. After all, games are still continually being made in the vein of classic Zelda adventures. It’s just a shame it’s let down by such troublesome graphical and performance issues. With an optimisation patch and a price cut, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening would be a must-buy. Until then, it isn’t.
In 2021, i think this game only deserve 4/10. Just to be clear this is first time i play zelda link awakening, so no nostalgic here. Buying this game after BIG LOVE to zelda breath of the wild.
1. Frame rate dropping issue is annoying.
2. Very hard to complete without watching youtube walkthrough. (maybe just for me?)
3. If u play without walkthrough, u will waste a lot of time to find the correct npc/place so the story can continue (or is it just me again? For example the pushing cemetery tomb thing)
4. Too small a game for this price. ( 5-7 hours to complete)
5. Hard to resale (if comparing to Zelda BOTW, Mario series,Pokemon series)
THis game does remind me of the old classic RPG game, 20-30 years ago when u willing to spend a tons of time to searching the correct way/npc/place to continue, but in 2021, not applicable for me anymore.
