The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is the first title in the series to be released on a handheld system and the only Zelda title on the original Game Boy. The gameplay is mostly similar to its predecessor with a top-down perspective, however there are short sections in dungeons where the game switches to a side-scrolling view with platforming elements. For this new adventure, Link must go onto each of the 7 temples to retrieve a musical instrument that will help awaken the Wind Fish. Along the way, he must search the land and uncover hidden treasures and items that will allow him to progress on his journey. Since its release, Link's Awakening has been popular among fans and critics.

My favorite Zelda game, and easily the most whimsical game Nintendo made. Technically you play the villain. Use the feather and bounce around the island having fun. This game set the stage for the Oracle series, but this one isn't contingent on gimmicks like those games. The puzzles are fun and challenging, and each dungeon has a nice theme to it. The Eagle's Tower has one of the most interesting ideas in any Zelda dungeon I've seen.

A little retro at this point, so visuals and soundtrack are up to those playing it. But the story isnt exactly its strongest, and I was eager to move on to Ocarina of Time. And gameplay is restricted to gameboy capabilities.

You simply can’t make a deeper or more satisfying action/adventure game on original Game Boy hardware than this.

This game proved to me that the gameboy was to be taken seriously. A true classic on the console and one of my favorite zelda games.

Would be a 5 but people talking and constantly going into the item menu is a pain.
