I played the Gameboy color game via the 3DS back went they released it in like 2015 or whatever, so when Nintendo announced a remake Link's Awakening for Switch... I was little disappointed honestly. Don't get me wrong, I loved the GB game, but I really wanted to see Nintendo make a completely new 2D Zelda game. Like I appreciated Link Between Worlds a lot, but even that is still using the same map from a Link to the Past.
That said, I finally got around to playing through the first three dungeons at least, and it was a lot of fun! The new artstyle is really nice, there are a bunch of small quality of life improvements like the power acorns not giving you text every time, and the overall feel of the game is quite good. However, I still feel like this game is a tad lazy to be honest. Like it is pretty much straight up Link's Awakening with small improvements, HD graphics, and small additions. It also has some kinda bad Framerate stuttering in parts of the game, which I feel like is really bad for a game like this.
With all that said, while I may personally be disappointed with the game, it still is Link's Awakening and is a really fun game. If you haven't played the original, this is an easy recommend. If you have played the original and want play Link's Awakening again, this ain't a bad way to do it.
