I'll be honest, I don't remember much of this game so it can't have been that exciting. I did finish it though, so it must've been alright. I only played it once.

This game is among the most charming and cute Zelda games. As a remake, it seems fine. I never played the original. I'm not a fan of the art style.

Overall, I think Link's Awakening may be one of the least inspired 2D Zelda games. This doesn't mean it's bad, I just think it can't really compete with later entries in the series or those on more powerful hardware.

I'm going to keep it honest with everyone, this game is kinda annoying. I can only imagine how much more annoying it would have been in the original Gameboy version. Look, as always Zelda has fantastic music, and this is no different. In addition, I personally love the art style, I think beyond it being visually pleasing, it fits the story of the game perfectly. And speaking of the story, the dialogue, story and "vibes" are wonderfully melancholy. A strange mixture of joyous and also deeply sad. All of that being said, the game is just constantly a little annoying, whether it's strangely designed dungeons and bossfights or esoteric overworld quests that you just have to guess at. I still overall liked the game, but it would be a hard recommendation to most, and one with a number of caveats.

This is the first of the Zelda series I've completed. You can feel the Gameboy roots here, but it's absolutely not a flaw. The mechanic of acquiring new tools and skills to progress the story is ridiculously addictive. I'd gladly "listen" to more tales from Hyrule, just maybe in a more contemporary rendition this time.

To pierwsza z serii Zeldowych legend, którą ukończyłem. Czuć tu Gameboy'owe korzenie, ale absolutnie nie jest to wada. Mechanika nabywania nowych narzędzi i umiejętności aby posuwać historię do przodu jest absurdalnie wręcz wciągająca. Z chęcią "posłucham" kolejnych opowieści z Hyrule, tylko może tym razem w bardziej współczesnym wydaniu.
