Product Description

Product Description

The legendary Link of Hirule tackles a new quest on the Game Boy Color! Can Link escape from the mysterious island of Koholint?

The island is a place where dreams and reality merge and overlap in surprising ways. Does the talking owl hold the secret to your quest? Perhaps so, but he won't share it with Link until you've conquered five dungeons packed with treacherous foes.

To return to the world that he knows, Link must find the eight instruments of the Sirens. There are plenty of secrets to explore-including a secret dungeon only accessible on the Game Boy Color system.

5.0 out of 5 stars In some ways, the most impressive of all the "Zelda"s, 20 May 2006
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Yes, I've said it. Fans who picked the "Zelda" series up at "Ocarina of Time" may baulk at the idea, but, if impressiveness were measurable as the ratio of a game's brilliance to the limitations of the host hardware, then this game wins the contest hands down. Quite simply, to get a game of "Link's Awakening"'s length and depth onto a machine that was far from state of the art even on its (the Game Boy's) 1989 debut, was a phenomenal achievement - and one which should not be taken for granted even in today's world of endless Nintendo repackaging which saw the game relaunched in colour around the time of "Ocarina of Time".
While the game quite forgivably lacks the scope of its illustrious siblings "Link to the Past" and "Ocarina of Time", it is nonehteless a thoroughly absorbing work. As per those games, all the characters and items are somehow related to your quest. Throughout the game there is a run of items which have to be exchanged - dog food for bananas, bananas for honey, and so on. At first this seems rather pointless but it soon becomes vital for your quest: a key example of just how involved this game is. It is an 8 bit title that shames many of our modern 128, 256 or however-many-it-is (they probably don't even count anymore) bit works of today, to shame.
The dungeons are often inspired, with many excellent ideas, such as the crashing temples of Eagle's Tower, and the recurring bosses. A few - most notably the Angler's Dungeon - are a little lightweight, but generally the standard is fantastic. The bosses are a little disappointing at times, but the final encounter with a morphing blobby monster - and the crazy pseudo philosophical end sequence - are excellent.
Overall, this game was an essential part of the "Zelda" series' imperial '90s trinity (along with "LTP" and "OOT") and is as great to play now as it was in 1993.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best handheld game ever!!!, 1 Dec 2003
Now this is how to make a game. 100% gameplay. The graphics are none too special but hey - the original version was released way back in 1993. In my opinion this is the most playable Legend of Zelda yet. I know I'm in the minority but it dominated my life more than Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker or Link to the Past. The plot is better than most Zelda games, and the structure well defined and skillfully modelled. Sub quests are present and there's even a fishing minigame. The music is chirpy and never annoying and the puzzles - though often hard are never unfair - there is always a logical solution. It is quite a long game that earns replay value by just being tremendously fun. The new DX version even has a brand new dungeon not present in the original game. It is better than resent handheld Zeldas (Oracles was good, but not AS good). Take my advice , if you do not already have this game BUY IT or the original version. Your gameboy will love you forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Zelda ever? It could be., 3 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Well, this is my first ever Zelda game that I got. (well i got the original in 93) and I have to say it is still my favourite game to this day. Before this I had only played Striker, Batman and Super Mario Land. This introduced me to an entirely new experience, a game that lasts for hours and you can talk to so many characters, do so much, go fishing, white water rafting, ocarina playing. This is a masterpiece of epic proportions and still hasnt been beaten by any new games to this day. In my mind this is Shigsy's high point. Nothing can beat this marriage of interactivity, neat graphics, great music, exciting bosses, cracking storyline, a great narrative and most of all fun. In my mind thats what Zelda's always been about and nothing does it better than this.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best thing on the Gameboy, period.
I got this game pre-colour, so haven't actually tried the DX version yet (there isn't much extra, so it isn't worth buying again IMO). However, it is a great game. Read more
