Product description

A high-seas voyage takes a dangerous turn when Link's ship is destroyed by a furious storm, and he washes ashore on the mysterious island of Koholint. Link learns that the only hope he has of returning home depends on awakening the mythical Wind Fish, who slumbers within a giant egg atop the island's highest peak. But who is the Wind Fish? How do you wake it? And what will happen when it awakes? Lead Link on an incredible adventure as you explore uncharted lands, meet amazing new friends and foes, and unravel the mystery of the Wind Fish. The first handheld-system release in this beloved franchise, presented as it appeared in the 1998 Game Boy Color re-release, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX is a must-play for fans of this beloved series. This game is only playable in 2D.

Don't Let the Graphics Scare You

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a Zelda game through and through. If you enjoyed the original Legend of Zelda, or A Link to the Past, you almost certainly will enjoy this game. It makes up for it's lack of colors and awesome graphics with a decent storyline and some excellent mysteries to solve for hours of fun.

Even better, playing this game on the virtual console lets you save at any time -- even within a dungeon -- taking away the frustration of repeating parts of the game, just to get back to a challenging battle.

For the price that this sells for on the Virtual Console, it's a must have for every Zelda fan.

A LInk between Game Boy Generations.

Still good. The original release of this game was on regular Game Boy (GB) and had black and white graphics. The GBC version added full color plus a new dungeon where seeing in color was necessary to beat it. So make sure you get the DX release. (This advice goes for buying the original game carts should you find them in the wild.) Oh, and the original carts won't work on 3DS or regular DS.

Play wise the game lets you equip each of Link's hands with a weapon or item rather than just one optional item plus your sword. You can even with the right combination taking running jumps! Or just jump. The other GB games are similar but I think they were developed by Capcom.

Best Zelda Game Ever

Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2015

Verified Purchase

I'll keep this short and simple. Link's Awakening has been my favorite Zelda game since I was a child (yes, I have played all of them). The sheer scale of the game for a Gameboy Game is astounding. It has tons of lovable characters and dungeons, and introduces some items that are now staples in the Zelda series such as the Roc's Feather and Power Bracelet type items. This game's story is what really gets me though, as it tells a deep narrative of what life really is(without going into any spoilers).

I definitely recommend this game to anyone who has not played it. In fact, I already have multiple friends who have picked this up and adored it as well. This purchase is going to gift a longtime Zelda fan this game so they can experience the magic that Koholint Island brings.

The game that started it all for me.

If you haven't played this yet, do yourself a favor and give it a try immediately. This was one of the first games I played growing up that truly pulled me in back in the early 90's, and is one of the main reasons I'm still into gaming today.

It's a great story with an awesome setting, interesting characters, and clever dungeon and enemy design. Definitely the best GB/GBA Zelda game; I would say it even gives some of the console titles like Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker a run for their money.100% worth your time.

Classic Gameboy Color Title for your 3DS Systems

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2016

Verified Purchase

I'll never get over how awesome it is to play old Gameboy Color titles on my 2DS. It gives me nostalgia, even for games I've never played.

I might expand on this review in the future (or maybe not, there are plenty of proper reviews throughout the internet if you want to know about the game itself, it is quite old, after all).

I'll just list off a few cool things.

For starters, it plays exactly like the original Legend of Zelda (also available via Virtual Console on 3DS systems), which I also aim to buy in the future, even though I do still have my Gamecube Legend of Zelda Collector's Disc. Just for the sake of having it on a portable system is nice. Take it wherever you want and enjoy it.

Got off-topic there, but the gameplay is just like the original Legend of Zelda. Each area is a small square the size of your screen. When you approach the edge of the screen, you progress to the next square. Simple, but effective for an older title like this.

You have access to Virtual Console controls by tapping the bottom screen (the touch screen). These controls are simple. You can "Reset" the game. You can also set a "Restore Point" (otherwise known as a Save State in most emulators on PC) and reload it whenever you like. This completely removes the need for saving in-game, which I am not certain how that is or was handled.

To activate "Restore Points", you just hold all four buttons X, Y, A and B. (There's a boy above the house you start in that will tell you this.) The game will ask if you want to activate it, you say yes, then create your restore point. This will perfectly preserve your game wherever you were, so be careful where you set it. If you're stuck in an area with low health, it might be a good idea to save, but if you genuinely can't get out, I would not do so. Rather, I'd only save when near or at full health.

The controls are a tiny bit dated, but still work. You have to press start to equip things. Pressing A swaps out your A button (sword, default) with whatever item you're hovering over (if you have any, which at the start you do not) and Pressing B does the same, but for your B button (shield, default). You'll need to swap out your items to use on different people or objects, so I imagine this will be used a lot as you progress.

It's not perfect, but it doesn't feel like a bad system, especially considering how old the game is.

If you're a fan of Legend of Zelda games or this game in particular, there's little reason not to get it, although technically with emulators available on tablets and PC, many people may think "why bother", but this game is a flawless port. I really think it's worth spending $6+ (like 30 cents tax for me) to get on your 3DS. You don't even need a New 3DS system to play it, either, so that's nice.

For those who might not be aware, since I see this question often, be very careful if you buy this. You NEED a 2DS, 3DS, 3DS XL, New 3DS, or New 3DS XL to download and play the game.

You can't just buy this and hope to play it on your computer or your old DS or DSi systems. I hope that helps anyone who might be wondering.
