Super cool device. Love how instantaneous everything is and how sharp and crisp the screen is. I never thought that they'd release the original black and white Link's Awakening again (really should be on NSO but whatever), so I was blown away when that was announced. The Zelda II playable timer is very neat as well.

My biggest complaint is one I can't even really hold against it, but I wish this were simple to mod. It's such an ideal screen for NES and Game Boy games, probably a few other platforms as well, but modding it seems very cumbersome. Obviously they didn't intend it for that purpose anyway, but yeah. If you're big on the first two Zelda games, I think this is absolutely worth it.

Also, the packaging is really fun and nice to look at, one box I never see myself throwing away. Took me way too long to find the charger because of where it's hidden.
