Item Description

Koholint Island looks like it was built on a tabletop. Grezzo's remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening renders the Game Boy classic as a glossy toy diorama, with plastic-sheen characters, tilt-shift blur softening the edges of the screen and a stubby little Link trotting through it all like a collectible figure come to life. The look is unlike anything else in the series, and it suits the story perfectly, because nothing on Koholint is quite what it seems.

Shipwrecked and washed ashore, Link is nursed back to health by Marin and her father Tarin, then learns that the only way off the island is to wake the Wind Fish, asleep inside a giant egg atop Mt. Tamaranch. That means gathering the eight Instruments of the Sirens from eight dungeons, and those dungeons hold up beautifully: tight, clever spaces built around keys, switches and items like the Roc's Feather and Pegasus Boots. Side-scrolling passages lurk underground, and the island is full of visitors from Nintendo's other worlds, including Goombas, Piranha Plants and a pet Chain Chomp named BowWow.

The remake keeps the original's layout and its strange, gentle melancholy while smoothing out the play. The classic soundtrack has been newly arranged, Link can equip more items at once, key conversations can be reviewed, and the map is far easier to navigate. The Trendy Game crane and the other mini-games have been renovated, with prizes that include dolls based on the Super Mario series. The big new addition is Chamber Dungeons: collect Chamber Stones and Dampé lets you arrange rooms from finished dungeons into layouts of your own, each one a small puzzle in itself.

Link's Awakening was the series' first handheld adventure when it reached the Game Boy in 1993, and the first to leave Hyrule behind entirely. Its dreamlike tone and bittersweet ending have made it a favorite among longtime players ever since. This Switch version is the most inviting way to experience that story today: faithful in structure, lavish in presentation, and compact enough to finish over a few relaxed weekends. It makes a lovely companion to the open-world epics on a Switch Zelda shelf, a reminder of how much the series can do in a small space.
