Well this game takes me back. I remember the time when I first played this game. I was a 9 year old boy trading games. I was really impressed with this game, and I used to sped every hour of the day with my face glued to the Game Boy Advance screen. This game was fun, and was the only Zelda game I had at the moment. I thought it was really fun, and I never wanted to give it up. Still though however you cannot hold on to a game too long. I honestly have to say I never really beat this game, but I was 1 dungeon away from it. Still though the reason I said that is because I never had the chance to beat it. I brought it to school one day, and someone snatched it away from me . Well anyways let the review begin .

Graphics: 7
Well I actually like the graphics, and there are nothing wrong with the graphics especially since they were on the game boy color. That is a older version of the game boy advance, and so it is only natural for the graphics to not be up to test. Overall that though I still might say I did enjoy this game more than I anticipated. Very nice fun, and it always gave me a good fight on the very end. I really liked the way it looked, and I don't care if most people do not. I am not most people I am me, and me says I gave this game a shot, and it didn't let e down. It is awesome, and I love this game. It was one of MY very first Legends of Zelda Game.

Sound: 8
The sound wasn't pretty bad, I enjoyed most parts like where you are on roads, and it has to original Zelda theme song. I enjoyed most of the dungeons music it had, and it was sort of cool. Anyways, you all get the point. I am clearly saying the game had a few errors in it's music, but it wasn't anything to get all riled up about. The game has awesome, effects, and U liked all boss music. I know I said I never beaten this game before, but my big brother did. I like the final boss music as well. It was when  we awoken the wind fish egg. It was sort of hard to get to him though. It was sort of a puzzle that can only be solved, and revealed in that library in town.

Addictiveness: 8
I found this game to be really addictive, and it was fun. I had my moments where I hate to say it, but I had my moments where it just straight up pissed me off. This game is fun, but it could get so stupidly confusing at times, you would get upset. Still though I can never get over it. The game was however addictive, but I did not like most maps to begin with. I won't just say them, but just keep that in mind. I really like the fact that we had the chance to travel to a town where we can talk to animals. They really came in good use. So always remember what I said. This game is so very amusing to me. I always enjoyed it, and I actually still do. This is one of my favorite Zelda games ever. I don't care about the new model of them, but this classical old school game really hits the spot for me. It was nice, long, and fun. I honestly have to say no matter how many times you beat it. It will always stay the same difficulty .

Story: 8
The story wasn't bad. In fact I was quite impressed with it. I will not lie to you all, but I actually ran through the hows yelling. I am a Zelda master. I feel childish, but this is actually a good game. I won't say it has ever disappointed me, but I will say that though. I have said that it had some annoying confusing parts, but I still never lost hope in this game. It is one of the best, that owns in keeping me entertained. The main plot of the game is to travel to various lands in seek to awake the wind fish, and escape the island. You have to gather the instruments out of all the dungeons to ever succeed in getting any. After you receive them all, you make your way to the egg, and play some sort of song so the egg will crack a door sized hole for you to enter. I will tell you how you know where the egg is. Before you are any close to beating this game you will appear in front of the egg, but you cannot do anything to it. That is pretty much it.

Depth: 8
It actually took quite a long time for me to complete this game, and so I gave it a big rating. I know a lot about it, but still I would say evan for my first time playing it it took me about 5 months just to get to the 7th dungeon of the game. I really tried to beat it, but I just couldn't. Still though evan though it wasn't completed. I did get a chance to experience the ending for myself. I wasn't the one to beat it, my brother was. That means that he let me play the final boss many many times. Like all Legend of Zelda games, you can always face the boss over, and over again. Still though the hardest dungeon to me was that level 7 place. Always had me bundled up there .

Difficulty: 7
It really was much of a hard game I can give it credit for that, but of all the things. I like it. I like all challenging games, and for some reason, every Zelda game I ever game across were hard. None were easy. I would say I only beat about 2, and 3/4 Zelda games. I beat A link to the past, Ocarina of time, and 3/4 of Majoras mask, and links awakening DX. I never ever beat any other LoZ games other than those. Zelda games are very hard, and you need exceptional skill, and mind to beat them. Most times they get easier as you continue to keep restarting them. Still though. My opinions will never change they are very hard to beat. 

Overall: 9.4
This game was really fantastic, and it had me about to jump out into my game screen. This game has the great ark of story you would want to see in you game. It is full of adventure, and passion. It burns harder than anything I have seen. Also as you know it is called links awakening, because you need to awaken the wind fish, and get off the island. Still though this is a really nice, game. I don't think it can get any better than that. So I honestly have to say to you now. You shouldn't be spending times finishing up these words. You should be out paying some Viz for this excellent Game Boy Color game .

I like this review. You gave enough detail in each category and explained your ratings well. ravo!

I have to say I agree with you, as I have been playing this on my 3ds lately. The only thing bad about it is the messages that pop up all the time telling you that something's too heavy to move.

Great review! I loved how much detail you put into this! You seem to like the game! I love the game too!

Woah again! There was plenty of detail in this review. You clearly understood what you were talking about. There were loads of descriptions and details in this review also

Dean2k13 : NEVER EVER YOU DON"T UNDERSTAND HOW HARD IT IS TO stop writing those reviews .

link I must say this is wonderful its so great I enjoyed reading this keep it up

Nice review man! You gave a lot of thought and depth to each category and explained each of them very well. I'm impressed, especially because of how underrated this game is.

Link's Awakening isn't that good to be honest. However..I will say its a nice game for a handheld game for its time. You can't go wrong with what they had back in the original. The DX version has its flaws, but it has great improvements.

linkmaster99 : fantastic review this was the first Zelda game I ever played this review does this game justice.
