4/5 ★ – valhallaVANDAL's review of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.

It’s a weird little masterpiece—I have so many memories of playing through this game on the Game Boy, barely able to see the screen, switching out items and even able to toggle off my sword! To see it remade like this, with craft and crazy detail, it’s amazing. The music throughout—until you get to the Wind Fish—is the soul, from the riff on the overworld theme to the frantic and jittery boss fight theme, and it has renewed life on the Switch. The whole game surges with that energy. The best thing they did was revive the 10 hour play time. That keeps it in the spirit of the old Game Boy days, a game you can play in a fast day or two, but of such quality that you know you’ll come back to it more than a few times.
