The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

Part of the The Legend of Zelda series

(4.4)

1993

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is a 1993 action-adventure game developed and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy. It is the first installment in the Legend of Zelda series for a handheld game console. Link's Awakening is one of the few Zelda games not to take place in the land of Hyrule, and it does not feature Princess Zelda or the Triforce relic. Instead, the protagonist Link begins the game stranded on Koholint Island, a place guarded by a whale-like deity called the Wind Fish. Assuming the role of Link, the player fights monsters and solves puzzles while searching for eight musical instruments that will awaken the sleeping Wind Fish and allow him to escape from the island.

For a gameboy game, its a fun one. But as a zelda game, it feels out of place. Not because some of the sprites and bad guys are from other games, but because the overall tone of it feels different. Not a bad game overall, but i would recommend the switch version with updated graphics

Hard to write a proper review as it was over 20 years ago & I was terrible at this game, I had no idea what I was doing! Hopefully getting a switch this Christmas for our son & seeing how much people love the new games looking forward to giving 1 a try off of this

Hot take!!! Not a fan of Zelda games. I've tried multiple times to get into these games and I just don't like them.

This is my favorite zelda game of all time. I know it is not the best ever made but it truly holds a special place in my gaming history. It is the first game I have cover to covered. Master piece.

This is an incredible game and even more so at the time. I’m only giving it 4 stars because a few other Zelda titles are better games.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

Looks and sounds great, plays perfectly and a brilliant story. Fun puzzles and amazing dungeons. Pushed the entire medium forward and set a new standard, and it accomplished this all on the original Game Boy. This is my candidate for the greatest video game of all time. Truly an accomplishment.

Pretty epic for a Gameboy game right? Zelda in your pocket, or one of those rad carrying cases from back in the day. I think this was the first game I played on my first OG GB.
