Zeruda no densetsu: Yume o miru shima

playing this game is like the equivalent of reading a very long and interesting novel. you can place your bookmark and come back to it any time you want (which will usually be a lot!). it really is just like going on one big long adventure. and again, just like a book, you quickly forget about everything after several months, once you have completed the game (which is actually quite hard). so you can come back and do it all again!

they got the difficulty just right. and you've got lots of items and weapons to collect and choose from. the graphics are really well rounded. in fact, i would say for a game boy the graphics are excellent. everything looks so cute. the musical score is amazing. the great tune, as you set off across the plains, is really stirring.

this is my favourite game ever. i really don't know what else to say, apart from you can get this game and a colour game boy for a couple of quid nowadays. so you really won't regret it

This is yet another of Shigeru Miyamoto's Masterpieces! I thought this game would be really bad and short because it was released for the Gameboy. I was wrong, the amount of difficulty and depth this game possesses is truly amazing! I can't wait for the next Zelda game!

Links Awakening is in a strange spot, being a sequel for the highly acclaimed Link to the Past but on much weaker hardware. The limitations of the Gameboy are the reason this game is one of the most creative Zelda games but it also makes for some really annoying things that wouldn't be a problem on any other platform. For example the lack of buttons means you'll be constantly pausing the game to switch your equipment, which can take you away from the action.

That being said this game is really great! The world is much more compact and dense with stuff to do and explore, compared to the much vaster Hyrule of a Link to the Past. The characters are fun and you really get attached to some. The dungeons are excellent and their bosses really tough in some cases.

This is the type of game that isn't afraid to get weird. Like, really weird. The main objective of the game is waking up a giant sleeping fish in a pink egg on top of a mountain with music. There are straight up Mario enemies like Goombas and Piranha plants. There's a village with talking animals. Despite the bizarre nature of Links awakening, it brings with it one of the most interesting Zelda narratives and one of the most heartbreaking ones.

Easily my favorite Gameboy game, and so far my favorite 2d Zelda game. A true classic that shouldn't be overlooked just because of the weak console it is on.

10 out of 10 if you have a gameboy you have to buy Zelda - Links Awakening if you don't go buy a gameboy then buy this game, if you like computer games you have to play this game, its that simple. I was a kid when I first played Links Awakening and its got everything you want in a game great characters, action, adventure, puzzles, swords, mystery, castles, fairies all wrapped up in an engrossing story that's magical and dreamlike as well as the best twist of any game I've played and this is simply in my opinion the best game ever and I've played allot, I'm of to find the rest of those illusive sea shells and I suggest you do the same.

Very big adventure game on a small hand-held system, which is great, because your hands will be glued to the hand-held for some couple of days at a time. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening brings you so much to your hands. Starting from the beginning of the story when Link's boat crashed, you must work your way up to finding a sword and go out on a long adventure.

I remember when a friend from High School introduced this game to me. The day I played Zelda on Game Boy, I had to buy new batteries every other day, refusing to put the Game Boy aside for once. The Legend of Zelda on Game Boy was one fun experience I will never forget.

Gameplay- 8/10 Sound- 10/10; Those lovely melodies will make you remember!!! Funfactor- 9/10
