    Without question the best Zelda Game on a handheld. Arguably the best Action/RPG on a handheld of the time!

    I still remember the Christmas morning when I found my first compact gameboy. It only weighed 10 pounds and could easily be carried in a 30"X30" container! Okay, so that's an exaggeration, but still, I will never forget ... Read Full Review

    Zelda: Link's Awakening would have to be one of the best portable games ever made.

    Zelda: Link's Awakening is an absolutely fantastic game. Still, Link's Awakening is the best game I have played on a portable console to date. Link's Awakening is suprisingly good for a GameBoy Color game, it has a gr... Read Full Review

    Finally, a classic!

    Ok, just starting off that I am not a Zelda freak. If it wasn't for my best friend, I wouldn't have touched this game. I am glad I did, cause this is the first game I ever beat! The gameplay rocks, the music is bearable,... Read Full Review

    A great revamped zelda game, and an instant classic in my eyes.

    The gameplay as for every zelda game is quite easy to master. All that is required is you know how to move link and how to fight. Although i do not like the two button system for using items and weapons, I personally f... Read Full Review

    first gameboy game i saw, i got one not long after, so underrated but so very cool.
