It's just so well done all round! You can never go wrong with Zelda games, except links crossbow training what was all that about? There is a well thought out story line which provides hours of game play, there are many times of weapon and equipment that you collect and use to help you solve tasks as the game progresses.

Link's Awakening of the original Gameboy was the first Zelda title released for a handheld device and only the fourth in the series. Developed at a time when the series was still working through unfamiliar territory, it doesn't have any of the cliche's inherited from Ocarina of Time on the N64 and remains a remarkably solid adventure. ...  Read the complete review

I bought and played this game when it first came out and to thsi day i still think it's the best game ever. Even though it is on the ye olde gameboy with the black and white screen it is still excellent. Link, the elfin type dude has got lost at sea and lands on a Island where he sets out to help a lady on amission......you get the ...  Read the complete review

Zelda is one of the best series of games ever made for any games platform. It has had games on the NES, SNES, N64 and gameboy, and will continue to be on any future Nintendo console I`m sure. The reason for this is that the game has always taken full advantage of the machine on which the game s running. Links Awakening is no exception ...  Read the complete review

Zelda - links awakening is a brilliant gameboy game. The cost is about £25 and it's worth the price. The game is basically a adventure, where you are yourself and the only way to leave Kholiant Island (The Island that you are shipwrecked on) is if you wake the windfish from its deep sleep inside the egg. You do this by ...  Read the complete review

Surely one of the best adventure games devised and no less engrossing on the Gameboy. From the word "go" it's a challenge, with a whole manner of beasties, princesses and villagers to meet or defeat. Collecting an impressive arsenal of weaponry you head out on various tasks (mostly involving killing large monsters). The one ...  Read the complete review

If you want the simple answer to the title of this opinion the I'd have to say a big, fat YES! Then again though, I can't really admit to having played a lot of RPGs. The reason I haven't played a lot of RPGs is simply because I don't like them very much with the exceptions of 'Pokemon' and 'Zelda:DX'. I ...  Read the complete review

This is perhaps the finest Zelda title out there. Certainly, I prefer this game to the n64 version. Alot. Washed up on a strange island, Link is approach by who appears to be the Pircess, Zelda. As it turns out, its a girl called Marin who lives in a local village. Stranded on this island, Link finds himself trying to decipher ...  Read the complete review

This was one of the first games I got for my Gameboy Colour and as such I'm reviewing the DX version which supported the GBC. This is a classic Japanese RPG. Viewed from a top down perspective you control link as he is stranded on an island. Your character slowly discovers what he is doing there by searching the world and defeating a ...  Read the complete review

This has got to be the best adventure game of all time. Its a game that will keep you going for days. Its full to the brim with baddies, puzzles, magical items, everything that the best adventure game ever should have. Suprisingly, the graphics are'nt too bad either (games usually have poor graphics on Game Boy). This is a ...  Read the complete review

Now this is my sort of game. Give me a large area to wander, give me characters to interact with, give me puzzles to solve, items to find, quest to complete and i`m happy. In Link`s awakening, Link has to search out the eight instruments of the siren, which will allow him to awaken the omnipotent wind fish, so he can escape ...  Read the complete review

This is nearly as good as Zelda on the N64. It has the same sort of gamepaly and the objectives are very similar. You play a boy called link and you have to find these eight objects spread across eight levels. The game doesn't have a linear pattern and before you even begin to look for the different objects on each level you ...  Read the complete review

This is a map-based adventure game that no-one has been able to top since its first release, even in these days of the Colour GameBoy. A map-based adventure game, it's chock-full of puzzles, magic items and end-of-level baddies. The graphics are superb, even on a monochrome screen. How the game designers managed to fit it all in is a ...  Read the complete review
