THE GOOD: Simple but effective combat system Great emphasis on exploration Challenging puzzles Long lifespan Loads of sidequests Charming visuals
THE BAD: Shield setup awkward Currency system mostly ineffective Little stoyline involvement from the enemy
SUMMARY: Our dear elven hero had already been through a lot by the time LA hit the portable scene. Legend of Zelda helped to define the adventure genre, then Adventures of Link introduced some key Zelda concepts to the series. A Link to the Past is often cited as one of the best entries in the series, combining elements from the NES titles. Now Link goes on the go in a new portable adventure.
If we were to judge a game by its looks then Link's Awakening can hold its head high. The character and item sprites look quite nice and there's a sufficient level of animation quality to things as well. Colour is used fairly effectively as well, if a little...
THE GOOD: They re-made the game from the original quite well.
THE BAD: It does get a little challenging sometimes and you just feel like giving up.
SUMMARY: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX is a re-made version of the original. They have made it colour and added a few new features. I actually prefer this too the original because it's almost exactly the same but coulored. The graphics are pretty good for the characters and levels and the music too the levels are pretty good too and don't get repetetive. It's quite a challenging game in some places and i remember myself getting stuck the odd time or so. The designs for the majority of things for the game is good and has been improved slightly which i find quite good.
Overall i think this is a great game and one of the best games for the Gameboy colour.
THE GOOD: Good storyline Plenty of missions to do Very challenging game and well worth the money paid for it
THE BAD: This game must have worn out several thousands of my brain cells
SUMMARY: This game was actually the first Zelda game I'd played in years. I've never owned a Nintendo console so I only played a version of Zelda well over 10 years ago at my cousin's house. I was very pleased with how this game developed and how many things there were to do. I don't remember how long it took me to beat this game, but it must have been about 100 hours at least.
You control Link and you are washed up on a beach at the start of the game. What you are doing there is uncovered through the storyline and events that happen in the game. Eventually you realise what is going on and why everything is happening the way it does although I don't recall seeing Zelda anywhere in this game, but never mind. The viewpoint in this game is above, looking...
THE GOOD: Improved Color Secret Dungeon included, with two new items Photo Gallery included
THE BAD: Besides the above, its pretty much the same game Secret dungeon is too short
SUMMARY: The DX version of Link's Awakening is a color enhanced version of the original version, modified to fully utilitize the capabilities of the Game Boy Color system.
It also included a few minor changes with objects you come across, a photo gallery where each photo is unlocked if you fill certain criteria, and a secret dungeon where you need to arrange objects of different colors to complete it. In the end, you get to choose between two different powers.
Other than that, its basically the same game. If you liked the original, though, its definitely worth the buy. It relives the experience in a new way.
THE GOOD: Great storyline, challenging bosses and dungeons, sweet chemistry between Link and Marin...
THE BAD: Nothing I can fault it on!
SUMMARY: This truely is a great Zelda game, one of my favourites! I am honoured to say, this was my first ever Zelda game. After a storm, Link is left stranded on the beautiful island of Koholint, his ship in ruins. He is found by a kind, caring woman by the name of Marin, who nurses Link back to health till he awakens. The dungeons are of the best design I have ever seen on a hand-held console, and the music is great! The characters are full of life and personality, from a magic-making witch, to a music loving bunny! Even the side-quests are full of great meaning, especially the poor Ghost you meet half-way through the game. This Zelda game got me hooked on the series, and is the reason I have 8 of them now. But, none of them ever...
THE GOOD: It's Zelda Great combination of talking, fighting and puzzle-solving Good graphics and sound Great replay-value
THE BAD: Oracle of Ages/Seasons are better games
SUMMARY: Graphics: All very sharp and clear, rather colorful, especially the secret dungeon. The animation is ok by GBC standards, even though Link does have an awfully big head. Still good, though.
Sound: A good number of different tunes, that are very nice indeed, very good sound-effects and realistic noises from the owl. Very good sound.
Gameplay: Now we're talking, a brilliant combination of great battles, solving smart puzzles and talking to lots of different characters. Great control, good sense of progress, varied challenges, just like a Zelda-game should be.
Lifespan: Takes a while to finish, lots of secrets to get, excellent replay-value, no complaints here, no sir.
THE GOOD: Very addictive gameplay, some challenging puzzles, takes a while to complete
THE BAD: The added color and secret dungeon don't make the game any better
SUMMARY: This is just your standard type of old school Zelda adventure game and that is what makes it so fun to play. The overall design of LA is relatively simplistic but the game is pretty long and very involving. There is much do to on Koholint Island (yes, this isn't Hyrule) and the dungeons in this game can be pretty challenging at times as they aren't very straight forward and require a little thinking on your part. There are a handful of sidequests to try as you attempt to complete the game as well so it is hard to ever find yourself bored. If anything, you'll be stuck in the dungeons as like I already mentioned they are sometimes quite challenging.
Although this game is pretty dated, it is one of the most enjoyable games I have ever played on my Gameboy and very...
THE GOOD: This game has awesome graphics, Link is really cool in this game, and this game is very challenging
THE BAD: Sometimes this game can be boring, and it may be aggravating to you
SUMMARY: This game is awesome, but it should be just a tad easier, but the more challenging for me, the better, but sometimes this game can be pretty boring, when it gets boring, just leave it alone for a few hours and play it again, there it's fun again. I would recommend this game to anybody who always liked Zelda games.
THE GOOD: -Long, intricate, immersing gameplay and an submissive storyline. -A longgggg game which is a good thing for RPG fans! -Total remake of the original classic with a dazzling new look! -Not much has changed, the classic WAS a classic and it is best to leave alone! -Excellent beginning/ending -Zelda. Nuff Said.
THE BAD: -Photo shop is kinda dumb but it adds a little more to an already excellent title. -The bonus dungeon. Nuff Said. -Can get fustratingly difficult, but it just makes you wanna play more!
SUMMARY: Possibly one of the greatest Zelda games ever and the best game boy game to-date, Links Awakening is back with a new colorful style! With dazzling crisp display, even if you already own the classic Links Awakening, you should consider purchasing this game too because its like a totally new game with color.
Back in the day I remember getting the original gamboy for christmas and I...
THE GOOD: ~ many sidequests ~ pretty good graphics ~ takes a step away from the story of the triforce
THE BAD: ~ some small glitches ~ kinda short
SUMMARY: You play Link where he gets washed up on a mysterious island, and the only way to get off is to wake up the wind fish. In order to do that you must go to every temple and castle and win one of the wind insturments, when you get them all you can try to wake up the wind fish to return home. ~ Different levels of swords and weapons ~ Photo shop where you can get your picture takin at a certain time in the game ~ Many different enemies ~ Extra level for gameboy colors
