I love everything about this game: The artstyle is adorable, the music is beautiful and the story manages to be very heartfelt and a nice deviation from the usual Zelda stories with big baddies to defeat.
The gameplay holds up very well, so not much needed to be changed from the original, which offers a good balance of puzzles, combat and exploration.
The quality of life improvements that are introduced (like having more buttons for items, the overworld being one continuos area and being able to place markers on the map) help make it feel more modern.
The only unfortunate drawback are the performance issues whenever you enter an area since the Switch should be very much capable of running a game like this. However, because the framerate-drops only last a couple of seconds, it didn't affect my enjoyment of this wonderful game.
If the performance is the only thing holding you back from playing Link's Awakening, don't miss out on it!
