About this product

Product Information

Link makes his anticipated Game Boy debut in this four-megabit cartridge, which closely follows the visual style introduced in 1992's Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. The story picks up after the conclusion of the Super NES game, which has young Link venturing across the sea to continue his training as Hyrule's greatest champion. After a tumultuous storm, Link finds himself shipwrecked on a mysterious island named Koholint. A talking owl tells Link that he needs to awaken a creature called the Wind Fish if he wants to return home. Yet in order to do this, the elfin hero must collect eight musical instruments scattered across the island. The catch? Each instrument is hidden inside a trap-filled cave guarded by entities known as Nightmares.<br><br>Link has learned some new moves for his first handheld adventure, including the ability to jump and attack at the same time, and the ability to move his shield to block attacks or to push enemies. Familiar items such as the sword, bow, bomb, hookshot, and magic powder are joined by a number of new tools, such as an acorn, wand, fins, and magical keys. Explore the island's vast overworld to discover an assortment of characters, quests, secrets, and challenges before venturing into each maze-like dungeon in search of the eight musical instruments. Engage in whimsical mini-games, from fishing to treasure hunting with a crane, and save your progress in up to three games to the battery-backed cartridge.

    The perfect Zelda game that take place outside of Hyrule.

    This Zelda was truly awesome.. It takes place outside of Hyrule. An interesting concept for Zelda fans. It has an amazing story with shocking twist. A twist that leaves link to a shocking dilemma of his journey. With that it game link and other characters personalities with emotions(a first). It's truly a masterpiece.

    Dead save battery

    I got pretty far in the game and then saved and left the gameboy off for a few minutes and when I turned it back on all the progress was gone

  • Link's Awakening, super fun to play!

    This game is very fun to play. The game play isn't very difficult and easy to understand. The game flows nicely within its separate parts, so it easy to take and break and pick right back up where you left off from.

  • Classic

    One of the best games of all time. A master class in creating a compelling and brilliant game with the limitations of the time. Holds up just as well as you remember (if you’re my age) or as well as a golden age Nintendo title should. I’m building an off-the-grid library of classics for an expected period of wilderness time, and this certainly made the short list. Metroid 2 still on the way and I should be good.

  • Zelda: Links Awakening review

    This game of course like just about any Zelda game wether it be from the past or present is nothing short of awesome! It is a truly unique version from all the rest, incorporating the Mario universe along with that A Link to the Past style of gameplay make for a pretty awesome combination. The gameplay is fun and simple; not too cryptic. The audio is nice for its time, the graphics while today won't blow anyone away look quite nice even in four shades of gray, and this game also has some fun boss battles. Bottom line is that you have no reason not to play this game. I highly recommend picking this one up!
