Is The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Worth Your Time? | Review
7Link's Awakening just turned 30 years old, but is it still worth your time?
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is a 1993 action-adventure game developed and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy. It is the first installment in The Legend of Zelda series for a handheld game console.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX is an enhanced Game Boy Color port of the Game Boy game The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. Link is caught in a storm at sea and becomes shipwrecked. Awaking on the mysterious island of Koholint, he discovers the only way to leave the island is to wake the Wind Fish, a creature which sleeps endlessly until the Eight Instruments of the Sirens are played in front of the egg in which it sleeps.
The game is updated with colored graphics, although the gameplay and story remain mostly the same. A few features were added, however, including a new dungeon that takes advantage of the color and a Photographer that takes pictures throughout Link's adventure.
This version of the game was rereleased on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console in 2011, and as part of the Nintendo Switch subscription service Switch Online in 2023.
