Can’t wait for this! I remember playing this and I don’t recall if I finished the game back then. Will be a great addition to Switch!
Link's Awakening was the first Zelda game I've ever played. The Game Boy was also my first console/handheld. ^^

Thrilled I get to play this again after so many years. My first introduction to Zelda. <33
Lots of people hate the art style, personally I love it. Buzzing for this game!
The art style is great, try playing GBC version this is way much better.....can wait to be launch
This is going to be EPIC!!

Game looks fun BUT TOO MUCH MONEY...
Edit: Bought It on discount
