Link must wake the wind fish to save Koholint Island! Or does he?
I had never played the original, but was always intrigued by the high praise it is given. I found it very enjoyable and delightful. It wasn't overly challenging, and navigating the island is tedious at times. But it feels like a solid Legend f Zelda game for it's simplistic nature.
Most fans of the series will find this game enjoyable, but perhaps not as engaging as the price tag would suggest. For younger or newer gamers in general, it is a solid introduction to the series worth playing. The best way I could describe it is as charming.

This was a fun and cute reimagining of the game boy original. However, you can finish it fairly quickly compared to majority of other Zelda games - which is to be expected considering it's not really one of the main entries in the series. That being said, to market it at $60 upon release is absurd. This is saying that the content we got in BotW is comparable to this which is insulting as a consumer. I've seen it these days (about 1-2 years post release) going for $40 but we shouldn't have had to wait this long...it should've started at least there and then have a small price drop over time. Screw you, Nintendo. 7/10 as a game, 6/10 for the insulting pricing.
I had a relaxing time with the game. There is just something about the art style and the music that just puts you in a really relaxed and good mood.
The game is more about trying to figure out what you are supposed to do. Lucky they have a really good hint system with the guy on the phone so I never got stuck.
I really like the story concept. I wish they did a little more with it, but they do have some really fun story parts and it has a lot of charm.
I ended up using the game to fall asleep to in the evening. Just this was my relaxing before bedtime game and I would recommend it.
The art style is really cute but Why is there so much graphic stuttering.

Link's Awakening could possibly be one of my favourite Zelda games. I haven't played the original, but I've seen it's very faithful to the original and DX versions. There are small changes to make it relevant with today's technology, for example removing the photography guy because the switch doesn't have a portable printer like the gameboy did.
I really like the direction they took with the art style, being able to recreate what made the original so special. All the characters and enemies looked really cool, it was really fun to meet all of them. The remixes of the original music was all really cool too, adding so much to areas in the game.
The dungeon builder isn't as in-depth as people wanted it to be, I see everyone seems to want a Zelda Maker. However, it was really fun to go through he challenges it gave between each of the dungeons. It added that something extra to the game that I really enjoyed.
If you're interested in playing another Zelda title on your Switch after playing BotW, then this is a must play.

The cutest of Zelda games. When people categorize Zelda games, they usually go with '2D' and '3D', which is funny, cause there are like 3 2D games in the whole franchise. Links Awakening is the best one out of those 3, much shorter and to the point than the others.
Link to the past was a more nuanced adventure, but it feels much more mechanically outdated than Link's awakening. Short, sweet and cute without being too loud or in your face with its color palette and soundtrack.
