Zeruda no densetsu: Yume o miru shima

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!

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

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.

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.

Link's Awakening is the first hand-held Zelda and the first one to diverge from the Triforce, Ganon, and Zelda structure. This one instead takes place on a random island. A lot of people love this game, but I don't know why. In my opinion, it's one of the weaker Zelda games out there. Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages are far from my favorites, but they are both better and more interesting games. They both have a better story and overall have more to offer. As I remember, Link's Awakening does have some decent game play, but everything else about it is really dated. The music to these older games is hard to listen to. The first two Zelda games actually have better music than this. Yeah, we have the option of turning it off, but I like to have music while playing a game.

Link's Awakening is easy to play; it's not excessively difficult, but overall it just doesn't add that much to the series, in my opinion.
