Zelda, Extensive, Unique
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is a unique Zelda experience on the Gameboy. Link washes ashore on an island and must set out to awaken the Wind Fish. In addition to the usual dungeons and items, you can complete so-called quests. For example, you have to help characters find certain items, walk the Chain Chomp (from Mario), and defeat Koopas. All in all, a unique experience.

Classic Zelda Experience on Handheld with Surprising Depth
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening for the Game Boy is a fantastic game for me that brought the classic Zelda formula to the handheld world with surprisingly much depth. The story follows Link, who washes up on the mysterious island of Koholint after a shipwreck. To escape, he must collect eight magical instruments and unravel the secret of the Wind Fish. This adventure is not only immersive but also surprisingly challenging for a handheld title.

Despite the technical limitations of the Game Boy, the game offers an expansive world filled with complex dungeons, challenging puzzles, and diverse enemies. The core of the gameplay consists of exploring, fighting, and puzzling, and it is just as engaging as in the earlier, larger console Zeldas. The scale is cleverly adapted for the portable platform, making the world feel small and compact, yet there is something to discover in every nook and cranny! It’s truly impressive how the developers managed to pack so much content into such a small package.

What makes The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening unique for me is the mix of classic Zelda gameplay with a somewhat surreal story and strange characters, including familiar Mario figures like a Chain Chomp and Goombas. The music creates an epic atmosphere, as we expect from Zelda titles, and contributes to the magical experience. Link’s Awakening on the Game Boy is a masterpiece that shows how a grand adventure can be brilliantly crafted on a small screen. It remains one of the best handheld games of all time and an absolute must-play for any fan of the genre!

Must-have for the Game Boy!
Link washes ashore on a mysterious island and before he can leave, he must awaken the Wind Fish. The story of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is very creative, and the game includes references to other Nintendo games such as a Chain Chomp named Bowwow and Goombas in the dungeons' basements. Despite this game being quite old, it still feels like a full-fledged Zelda game with many secrets and fun puzzles.
There is also a remake of this game available for the Switch. This remake, in my opinion, is slightly larger and features its own dungeons, but at its core, it has remained the same as the original. So, if you prefer playing the game on a modern console, you might want to look into that. However, if you prefer to play the original version, I would recommend going for this one or the DX (colorized) version.
