it was obtuse, overwhelming, sometimes just plain annoying, sometimes just plain cryptic. i am very glad i played it that was an emotional journey and beating bosses on the brink of death is just the most satisying thing ever
As someone who never played the original, this game was fine. Really loved the music and visuals but it was pretty lacking for a full priced game. I don't think they ever patched the performance issues either which is lame.
I love the original Link's Awakening. It maybe my favorite Zelda title of all-time. However, as cute as the toy visual style is here in the remake, I feel it absolutely ruins the dreamy, psychedelic atmosphere of the story, and that plays such a big part of the game that I had to dock this an entire star because of it.
i had no idea where i was going. great metaphor for life
I'm one of those absolute SICKOS who prefers 2D Zelda to 3D, and OG Links Awakening was already one of my favorites. This is one of my favorite art styles in any game, it's super unique and I kinda hope Nintendo returns to it for some more remakes. Some cool little quality of life changes ie. making items less annoying to use and removing loading between areas.
I do have a couple minor gripes, notably the frame rate shits itself sometimes and you're locked to 4 directions which feels weird compared to games like Link Between Worlds. Also the dungeon building feature sucks ass which would be fine if they didn't lock heart pieces behind it.

Not a lot going on for the Switch in 2019.
I don't normally love the 2D Zelda games like I do the 3D ones, but something about this remake really resonated with me. It might just be the art style, but after playing this I'm eager to give more of the top-down Zeldas another try.
Link's Awakening has always been a great 2D Zelda. The dungeon design was top notch, and the fact you could play a full-length Zelda on the go was impressive given the limitations of the Game Boy. Aside from the visuals, obviously, the remake stays very faithful to the original. The new art style gives the game a unique identity among 2D Zeldas, and sets it apart from the original Link's Awakening. If you enjoyed the Game Boy game, you'll most likely enjoy this one as well. Maybe it's not worth $60, though...
Is this the cutest Zelda game ever? Why yes...yes it is. If you've played the previous 2 versions of the game, I think you'll enjoy this version as well. It feels like playing in a dream.
I like how Nintendo has carried on their charmlessness from the Wii U era but now they're making bank so we all have to praise them.
Playing this game got me like

A solid Zelda remake, true to the original, with modern additions.

Nintendo definitely knows how to bring a classic masterpiece back to life without losing its touch. The lovely diorama style in combination with the new arranged soundtrack is so powerful that you get lost in the detailed world and almost forget about the sad storyline this game has.
Some minor flaws for me are in the game mechanics. The original Game Boy version felt so precise but here they are a little inaccurate. Especially when it comes to fight flying enemies. I missed them so often because I can't say exactly where the hitboxes are. Also, the movement when you use the boots are a bit loose for me. Killed me a couple of times. But anyway, this is such a great example how you bring your dusty old game to the modern era.

Fantastic and true to form remake of the most standout game of my childhood. Beautifully stylised graphics, even with some frame drops and a very fun imagination for a Zelda title, with weird calls to other Nintendo franchises.
The dungeons are perfect length and complexity for me, with memorable bosses and fun characters that’ll stay with you in some cases.
Amazing to think that the original was made from a guys side project in the office!

Really liked the original and this one was a pretty faithful recreation.
fix the framerate nintendo
(See my review for the original game if you want.)
I couldn't afford the remake on release, but because I was desperatly emotional about it, and one of my close friends empathised with our mutual love of zelda, she let me borrow her copy during the day when she was at work. Dropping it off on her way in and picking it up on her way home, she would declare that "little mans is here for daycare" and I would play on my switch in the living room as long as I could get away with it. I couldn't ask for a better experiance of a remake of a game I loved as a kid.
The art direction is heart breakingly sweet and I loved every second.

Played a million times on Gameboy but never actually beat it. Nice to finally finish it, wish I enjoyed the dungeon building parts more though.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
A ver, me ha gustado mucho, es muy buen juego, pero me pasa como Majora's Mask que no le veo esa chispa de obra maestra. Tiene una premisa y ambientación onírica interesante que creo que no acaba de explotar al 100%.
Visualmente es muy chulo con ese efecto tilt-shift, lo del framerate se nota pero no es realmente molesto (en mi caso) y la música muy bien.
Los puzzles y las mazmorras son buenas, el problema es que una vez has hecho muchas en otros juegos son más de lo mismo :/

I'll give a little boost for being fun to screw around in, but trying to finish this was a slog and I had to use a guide. If I didn't want to tear my hair out, that is.
One of the best games I’ve ever played
Framerate unfortunate, but Link’s Awakening is still a great game and this one looks nicer
Reconozco que no tenia excesivo interés por este remake, pero me ha sorprendido bastante.
Si, tiene todo lo que odio de los juegos 2D antiguos. Mazmorras con puzzles algo obtusos, mensajes crípticos de que tienes que hacer a continuación (he tenido que mirar guía mas de una vez porque estaba perdidísimo dando vueltas) y backtracking cansino.
Por suerte, esto es un remake, y hay algo parecido a fast travel que facilita muchísimo moverte por el mapa, igual que la canción de la ocarina para volver a un punto de teletransporte. Esto ha mejorado, desde mi punto de vista, mi experiencia de juego.
La OST me ha encantado, el estilo artistico es todo un acierto y eso que no soy muy fan de los chibis y donde mas brilla el juego, es el diseño de niveles es brutal, con la unica pega de algunas mazmorras en las que me he atascado que considero algo injustas con el jugador, pero claro >1993.
Un must para cualquier fan del genero, e incluso para los que no lo sean, pueden darle una oportunidad que no creo que les defraude.

Link's Awakening is one of my favorite The Legend Of Zelda games ever since i had just a magazine with a walkthrough section of it in the late 90's.
This remake could be the definitive version of the gamem but it isn't. Link's Awakening for the Nintendo Switch has a very comfy-looking artstyle that suits the dream-like atmosphere of the game and it also features a better inventory and the possibility to use certain items with the L and R buttons, which is impossible on the original gameboy version.
However, the game suffers from some serious performance issues on the switch both docked and portable. FPS drops are frequent on some areas of the map and, while not game-breaking it sure is annoying.

if i take an ambien can i get marin to have sex with me too
Zeldinhas >> Zeldões
Mas, serio, jogo lindo. Seria 5 estrelas se n fosse tão fácil se confundir ou se perder, mas além disso o jogo é incrível, recomendo demais.

As someone who loved the GBC game, this was a fun rush of nostalgia all the way to the end. Unfortunately it doesn't add a lot and the Dampe dungeon builder was a feature I left completely untouched. As much as I loved it, it really wasn't worth the $60 price tag.
Puzzles mto bons e surpreendentemente longo pra um jogo que originalmente era de game boy. Só achei fácil demais.

When a late-game dungeon had Kirby appear as a hostile enemy, my jaw hit the fucking floor
not for me at all. awful FPS drops
