Zelda: Link's Awakening Is Still In Stock For $40 At Amazon

The Switch-exclusive The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening remake is discounted to only $40 at Amazon and Walmart. The deal was part of Amazon's Prime Day Round 2 deals earlier this week but is still available for now, though we're not sure how long it will last so you should snag it while you can.

The remake of the Game Boy classic features an adorable new art style, welcome quality-of-life improvements, and additional items and collectibles to find on Koholint Island. It's a great game to revisit for those who are nostalgic for the traditional Zelda formula. Link's Awakening is also an ideal first Zelda game for youngsters. It earned an 8/10 in our The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening review.

"Though the remake has a couple of blemishes, it's still an easy game to recommend. People speak of Link's Awakening as the secret best Zelda game," critic Peter Brown wrote. "That's a tough call to make, but it's definitely one of the best. If you haven't touched a classic Zelda game in a while, Link's Awakening will almost instantly transport you back to the '90s. It's simple, in many ways, but the orchestrated journey still conveys a sense of adventure, and this new version is without question the best way to experience it. And more than anything else, it will put a smile on your face. Remakes are a dime a dozen nowadays and often easy to overlook. Don't make that mistake with Link's Awakening."

There are a bunch of other great Prime Day Round 2 deals still available, including discounts on other Nintendo Switch games and accessories like the Super Mario series and Hori's Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Splitpad controller, and more.
