The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is a quirky and surprisingly poignant adventure that stands among the best handheld games of its era. Stranded on the mysterious Koholint Island, Link explores charming environments, faces off against bizarre enemies, and tackles brain-bending dungeons in his quest to wake the Wind Fish. Despite its compact size, Link's Awakening weaves a captivating story and packs plenty of classic Zelda puzzle-solving and exploration, making it a captivating experience that still shines brightly.

I liked this one feeling more compacted in comparison to Link to the Past still had lots of depth to it and the story it had from the few lines and little cutscene is cute and compelling. I liked how this one has Mario and to an extent Kirby's enemies and had similar functionality in the gameplay like jumping on Goombas to get hearts like hey that's pretty neat also new power-ups and items were cool the roc feather was great, my boy Link got hops now. In conclusion, the Ballad of the Wing Fish song is goated.
