The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, el remake del juego de Game Boy de 1993 ha superado todas las expectativas y desde ya es otro imprescindible para Nintendo Switch. Los niveles de calidad del juego en todos sus apartados rallan el sobresaliente y pocas cosas se le pueden reprochar. Quizás que es un poco corto, ya que en unas 10 o 12 horas puede ser completado.

Link's Awakening is still, 26 years after its debut, an outstanding game. With brand new graphics, along all the elements that made the original one of the best games ever, this classic game lands on Nintedo Switch to remind us why we love The Legend of Zelda series.
Ars Technica - Sam Machkovech - Unscored
No Nintendo remake has ever combined the beautiful and the familiar like this.
This sets the tone because everything here is, for lack of a better word, better than ever.
CGMagazine - Remington Joseph - 8 / 10
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening fits right at home on the Switch, feeling like a fresh title despite being over twenty years old
COGconnected - James Paley - 85 / 100
Putting aside the gorgeous graphics, the obtuse level design, and the various modern touches, Link’s Awakening is still an exceptional Zelda game.
Cerealkillerz - Julian Bieder - German - 8.9 / 10
Disappointing chamber dungeon building aside, TLOZ Link's Awakening for Switch is the best version you can play right now. The updated animations are somewhat cutesy, but the improved controls, which cut out annoying item switching, should be the biggest selling point for newbies and hardcore fans alike.
Critical Hit - Geoffrey Tim - 8.5 / 10
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is a loving remake of a decades-old game remake with just enough modern touches to make it worth playing again. Graphical overhaul aside, it's perhaps a little too faithful to the original, while additions like the dungeon-builder are a bust. Newcomers get to experience one of the quirkiest games in the series, but for those who've played through it multiple times, there's little reason to play other than nostalgia or adoration - both of which are perfectly good excuses to return to Koholint.
Daily Star - Donogh Moore - 5 / 5 stars
It is a must-have for any Zelda fan, and so should take its place as a console seller for the Nintendo Switch.
Destructoid - Chris Carter - 9 / 10
Slight gripes with the new engine and the old source aside, this is still Link's Awakening: one of the best Zelda games to date. Although I don't think I'm going to rotate the DX version out of my yearly Zelda replay sessions, I'll definitely be working the Switch remake in.

The remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is stuck between two places—the past and the present. Chances are that you've already made up your mind about whether or not to play it. It's a classic Zelda game given a second chance with a striking visual language and evocative, haunting musical reinterpretations. Making the jump from the Game Boy to the Switch means that you'll spend a lot less time changing items in the menu and much more time appreciating the meticulous clockwork of Koholint Island's challenges.
Eurogamer - Tom Phillips - Essential
A masterly remake that preserves Koholint Island for a new generation.
Everyeye.it - Enrico Di Piramo - Italian - 8.8 / 10
Although it does not hide its age, this impressive remake could awaken the Hero within you.
FNintendo - João Duarte - Portuguese - 8 / 10
Link's Awakening returns, this time under the guise of a marvelous-looking game for the Nintendo Switch with plenty of new content, a very improved item system that brings its gameplay to our days, and a higher difficulty level that does wonders for its level of challenge. The new Chamber Dungeon component ends up delivering less than it promised but the overall experience is not affected and this new version of Link's Awakening instantly becomes a new classic and the ultimate incarnation of one of Zelda's most beloved games.
Forbes - Ollie Barder - 10 / 10
Overall, this is a excellent remake of an already faultless Zelda game.
Game Informer - Jeff Cork - 9 / 10
Link's Awakening was home to some of the best classic-era dungeon designs and bosses in the series, and this remake is a reminder of (or introduction to) its legacy
GamePro - Tobias Veltin - German - 85 / 100
Beautiful and carefully adapted remake of a playfully timeless classic, whose age only shows at a few points.
GameSpot - Peter Brown - 8 / 10
Link's Awakening on Nintendo Switch is a smart remake that enhances the spirit of the original while upholding the things that made it a classic in the first place.

Gameblog - Gianni Molinaro - French - 9 / 10
The Legend of Zelda : Link's Awakening was a treasure on Game Boy. Is still is with this version, but this time it's really good-looking, irresistibly cute. Even if there are some frame rate hiccups, if you're in possession of a Nintendo Switch, don't hesitate one second and go (re)discover one the best episodes of the entire saga.
GamesBeat - Jeff Grubb - 95 / 100
When I go to give Link’s Awakening to someone else, would I recommend this version? Is this the game I want my kids to play? And yes. It is. Absolutely. Because the truth is that it does recapture its old magic. It’s just not the time machine that I thought it could be.
GamesRadar+ - Sam Loveridge - 4.5 / 5 stars
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening manages to feel new, but still maintain the essence of the amazing original. This is peak old-school Zelda, and it's never looked better.
God is a Geek - Adam Cook - 9 / 10
Whether you're a new or old player, Link's Awakening remains is hugely compelling and is another Switch must-have.
Hobby Consolas - Álvaro Alonso - Spanish - 92 / 100
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is the definitive edition of a classic: a renewal and improvement in every way, but always respectful with the source material, that manages to evoke the same feelings we felt 26 years ago.
IGN - Joe Skrebels - 9.4 / 10
Updating the look but never losing the feel of the original, Link's Awakening is a masterclass in remaking a classic.
IGN Italy - Mattia Ravanelli - Italian - 8.5 / 10
Link's Awakening still is one of the most interesting Zelda games, even with all its limitations and semplifications.
IGN Spain - Victor Sánchez - Spanish - 9 / 10
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening has nothing to envy to some current RPGs. We could complain that it is the original with few ornaments and novelties, but the essence is so deep, that it is much better that way.
An indispensable addition to Nintendo Switch
LevelUp - Pedro Pérez Cesari - Spanish - 9 / 10
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening it's a phenomenal remake of a timeless classic. Grezzo took everything that made the original great and implemented lots of quality of life improvements that make it a joy to play. It also has a great art direction that took our breath away. We can't wait to play more remakes like this one in the future.
The lack of any meaningful additions is a surprise, but it only underlines what a fantastic game the Game Boy original was, in what is still a classic Zelda title that thoroughly deserves the star treatment.
Nexus - Garth Kaestner - 8.8 / 10
Link's Awakening has definitely changed, especially the outstanding visuals and impactful audio, but it stays very true to its ancestor that introduced Zelda games to a handheld device all those years ago.
Nintendo Enthusiast - John Friscia - 8.5 / 10
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening for Switch completely faithfully updates the Game Boy classic for modern audiences, and Zelda fans would be out of their minds not to play it.
Nintendo Insider - Alex Seedhouse - 9 / 10
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is just as magical as it ever was, and, in being remade, has lost none of the charm that made the original so special in the first place.
Nintendo Life - PJ O'Reilly - 9 / 10
This beautiful Switch remake rebuilds all of this from the ground up in fine style. It adds modern conveniences, a dungeon creator, amiibo support and lots of little quality of life improvements whilst infusing every single square inch of Koholint – every secret passage, Piranha, Pokey and Pig Warrior – with a level of detail and depth that totally reinvigorates both its timeless story and classic Zelda gameplay for a whole new generation of gamers.
NintendoWorldReport - Daan Koopman - 8.5 / 10
The selection of smart fixes makes the game less of a grind and mostly an experience that keeps on trucking. While I don't think much of the Chamber Dungeons and other added trinkets, the refinements made to the overall flow make the journey worth it. For newcomers or Zelda veterans, Link's Awakening is a hoot from beginning to end.
Polygon - Russ Frushtick - Unscored
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is the perfect Zelda for younger fans
Post Arcade (National Post) - Chad Sapieha - 9 / 10
Nintendo's updated take on a quarter-century-old classic is made to be enjoyed by all generations equally
PowerUp! - Leo Stevenson - 8.8 / 10
Playing Link’s Awakening is so simple that anyone can do it and everyone SHOULD do it. It’s that good.
Press Start - Shannon Grixti - 8.5 / 10
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is another must-play Nintendo Switch game. It still stands the test of time and in no way feels outdated, which is impressive for a 20 year old game. Don't let performance issues and a high price point stop you from playing this absolute classic.
RPG Site - George Foster - 9 / 10
Proof that traditional Zelda is just as essential now as it was back in 1993.
Screen Rant - Scott Baird - 4 / 5 stars
This is a remake of one of the best Game Boy titles and you shouldn't expect much more than that.
Spaziogames - Domenico Musicò - Italian - 8.4 / 10
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is an amazing remake that gives new life to a game 26 year old, with a brilliant art style and a perfect progression tied to the finding and the use of accessories. The only technical flaws is represented by some frame rate issues during the transition from an area to another one.
Stevivor - Ben Salter - 8.5 / 10
Despite being over a quarter of a century old, the gameplay holds up remarkably well, especially the short and sweet dungeons and delectable puzzles. It’s one of the shorter Zelda games, clocking in at 8-10 hours, but it’s quality over quantity with a relaxing and familiar The Legend of Zelda jaunt.
The Games Machine - Danilo Dellafrana - Italian - 8.5 / 10
Despite some uncertainty regarding the framerate The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is an excellent remake, which enhances the original experience in every way and makes it modern thanks to a very valuable series of improvements.
TheSixthAxis - Stefan L - 8 / 10
With a quirkiness to it that stands out from the rest of the series, Link's Awakening still holds up beautifully well as a modern 2D Zelda game. Outside of some nagging performance issues, Link's Awakening is a wonderful remake of a Game Boy classic.
TrueGaming - محمد البسيمي - Arabic - 9 / 10
A classic game that should not be missed by any adventure gamer on the Nintendo Switch
TrustedReviews - Jade King - 4 / 5 stars
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is an excellent remake of an already enamoured classic, translating its unorthodox approach to a traditional Zelda outing into the modern day with absolute ease. Even after two decades and change, it still plays like a dream and looks even better thanks to its adorable diorama visuals.
Twinfinite - Greysun Morales - 4 / 5
This remake is absolutely charming, stunning, and visually striking, making it one of the prettiest Switch games out there.
USgamer - Nadia Oxford - 5 / 5 stars
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening remake for the Switch improves most of the flaws from the original game while maintaining (or enhancing) everything that makes Link's Game Boy adventure a classic. Its shiny new coat of paint suits it well, even if slowdown issues pop up from time to time. A few hours of play is all it takes to remind you why Zelda fans love Link's Awakening so very much.
VG247 - Alex Donaldson - 4 / 5 stars
With a gorgeous presentation and smart and minimalist tweaks, it’s as charming and enjoyable now as it was in the nineties.
Video Chums - A.J. Maciejewski - 8.1 / 10
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening was a wonderful game when it first released and this new Switch version may not deviate much from the original but it definitely looks and sounds great.
Wccftech - Dave Aubrey - 8.5 / 10
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening looks gorgeous, sounds beautiful, and tells a twee and compelling tale. While the game can be played through in around ten hours if you know what you're doing in advance, new players will find a lengthy and engaging Zelda game to love. Whether it's your first time playing Link's Awakening or your dozenth, you will still find a gripping Switch game that you'll remember for another twenty years.
We Got This Covered - Shaan Joshi - 4.5 / 5 stars
In an era where Breath of the Wild reigns supreme, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening proves that there's still room for the tried-and-tested designs of yesteryear. It's far from innovative, but it has the undeniable allure of familiarity on its side.
WellPlayed - Jordan Garcia - 8 / 10
Link's Awakening successfully captures the brilliance of the 1993 classic and presents it in a way that will please most
