Comment on What Game Boy game do you love that you never hear anyone talk about?

Weirdly enough, my favorite Zelda game of all time is The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. Weirder still, it's the story that I really love, driven almost entirely by the fact that it's the least Zelda Zelda game. No, I don't know what's wrong with me.

I mean it's probably entirely nostalgia, but I still hear the in-game ballad in my head from time to time.

They remade it for switch. Totally worth buying again.

  $60 for a 30 year old Game Boy game? I think I’ll have to disagree that it’s worth buying again.

    It’s a full remake, not like a port or a rom

    It’s a full remake of a Game Boy game from 1993, and it honestly kills my faith in humanity a little bit that so many people were falling all over themselves to pay that much for it.

    I started Zelda so many times as a kid but never finished it. Was so happy to finally beat it thanks to the remake. It is solid and adds a few tweaks to help game play. Totally worth picking up!

Not weird at all! It’s actually my favorite Zelda game too. 🙂 I think I’d actually say Majora’s Mask is even more not-Zelda. 😄

  Hah, I actually agree with you now that you mention it: Majora's Mask is indeed even more not-Zelda lol. That game was a hell of a time.
  
  Thank you for your bravery lmao. But I'm 100% with you, Marin a thousand times over Zelda. The fandom will likely beg to differ though hahaha

Oracle of seasons was a masterpiece, oracle of ages and minish cap also were great, some novel ideas and beautiful execution, lots of hours of gameplay if you play casually and explore along the way

Funny enough it was Link’s Awakening that led all the games after that being more story oriented. It also started the trope of the long trading quest

  The trading part is what got me to buy that game. I was playing it at the store and got through a bunch of it and got hooked.

It’s not only my favorite Zelda game. It’s probably my favorite game period for any system.
