Customer Reviews of Legend of Zelda

Not many people realize that this game came out AFTER the Super Nintendo Zelda game (A Link to the Past), and there are times when you can see the modifications the developers made on the SNES version to make it better in the Gameboy version. The main example of this, and one of the coolest features on Zelda games at the time is the ability to jump in this game to get over obstacles and enemies. Also, the graphics to this game are wonderful compared to other Gameboy games around.

In this adventure, Link awakens on a beach in a world he's never been before. The story doesn't quite go along with the previous three Zelda games. You aren't in Hyrule, Gannon is not the enemy, and Zelda is not even in the game. But the game play is classic Zelda, and there's almost no better thing to do in a video game than play as Link fighting enemies to save the day.

P.S. The side-scrolling "Super Mario" tunnels are the funniest things Nintendo decided to put in this game.

Excellent Game Boy adventure title
...In 1993, Nintendo released its Game Boy classic, The Legend of Zelda - Link's Awakening. How does the game compare to those to today? Read on and see.

Graphics: 3.75/5
Sure, the graphics are dated, but the picture is very clear and there is little blurring.

Play Control: 4.25/5
Simple and to the point, though a little weird at first. It's strange not having your shield and sword out all the time. You can only have two items out at a time, but overall, this ends up working out pretty well.

Challenge: 3.5/5
Lots of puzzles, but not a lot of direct challenge. The enemy population seems to be imbalanced. Some are easy to kill, others virtually invincible. The same applies to the dungeon bosses.

Theme/Fun: 4.5/5
A lengthy and portable quest that you can save your progress in. This is an excellent game. It's just the right length, and keeps its player interested. And how can you not love that crane machine game?

Music/sound: 3/5
Average for the Game Boy. Nothing really stands out above anything else.

Storyline: 3.5/5
After a shipwreck, Link is awakened by a young girl, and told that he is in a dream world. He must destroy the nightmare trying to conquer the dimension, or he will never wake up. This game takes place immediately after A Link To The Past. It's a cheesy story, but it works.

Overall: 4/5
Got a Game Boy? Get this game. Or better yet, get the new GBC enhanced version. It's got some new features. If you want an ultimately satisfying portable adventure, this is it.

BEST GAMEBOY GAME
This is undoubtedly the best game boy game I have ever played. While the graphics aren't great, the game and storyline make up for it. Even thought I've beaten the game numerous times and have newer game boys and games, I still play it when I have the time. If you own a game boy, you MUST have this game.
