What a banger can fit on such an ancient handheld. For obvious reasons the game looks and feels more simplistic than ALttP, but the world, the NPCs and the interactions with them are so much more interesting in LA. The dream island setting is so charming and a nice change between the classic Triforce/Zelda themed titles, also appreciated the references to other franchises.
The dungeons became less challenging, yet still really well designed and fun. Constantly changing items in two slots was a bit annoying sometimes, but that's understandable, considering that the Game Boy only has two face buttons. Some people don't like that you sometimes need to unequip your sword, but it actually adds flexibility - many puzzles would've been impossible if one of the buttons was strictly dedicated for the sword.
Easily my favourite game for the OG Game Boy.
