The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX on the GBC
This game is my personal favourite Zelda game and favourite game of all time. Maybe it was because it was the first Zelda game I played and completed, but I prefer it over many other games, hell I prefer it to OOT. I used to play games and not complete them. This was the first game I really wanted to complete, it's storyline was amazing, so much to do, so much exploration, some of the finest dungeons ever and lots of little secrets. It had the best ending of any game ever, and I actually nearly cried because I didn't want it to end, the end boss was amazing.
*spoilers*
The bit when everything dissapeared was so sad, everyone you met just went, and the bit when you wake up on that log, those graphics amazed me. The music at the end was the finest in any game
*end of spoiler*
Get it now, you won't be dissapointed, the only game that came close for me was Golden Sun.

I thought GS 2 was just as good as GS, though some parts annoyed me- going back to the various locations to get the fricking Trident pieces, for example.
Still, quality games.

what is that game like it looks cool
I finished the non-DX version and it is a quality game. One of my favourite 2D Zelda's, that's for certain.
Not my favorite game ever... not even my favourite GB game. Pokemon Yellow takes that award.

There was some water temple thingumy I got horribly stuck in and other games took my attention. I will have to play through it properly at some point though.

Ok, since when did you become me? :\ Link's Awakening I got on GB, was and is my favourite Zelda to date and also one of my first games.. very amazing game. Marin <3
Anyway. Yeh, I remember it taking me about a month (whoever said they completed it in a couple of days is.. lying probably) and not wanting it to end. The ending animation on the tiny pixelated screen was positively tear-jerking. Then I got the GBC re-make and loved that too, getting all the extras like the photos. Hmm. And yes.. the only game that comes close, at least on a handheld anyway, is the original Golden Sun. Never got into the sequel as much.
You have good taste my friend, good taste indeed.

It took you a couple of days? when I first played through it, it took me about a month. Maybe that was because I was younger.
I vaguely remember playing the non-DX-ified version. Dont think I completed it. Then again it wasnt my copy...
The Wind Fish is, quite clearly, the weirdest thing a game has been structured around. I mean, wth? It's a flying Whale....
Anyway, the most frustrating part of Links Awaking was the fact that you HAD to collect all those freaking shells... that annoyed me. Plus, when I had to do the same with the Tribals in Jet Force Gemini, it reminded me of the horror.
Ooooh the horror.
Edit: and I still think OOT was the best Zelda game.... I loved it so much. Everything about it was just Amazing. Majora's Mask takes a very, VERY close second though... and then a Link To The Past was third. Also, thinking about it, I enjoyed Oracle of Seasons/Time more than I did playing Link's Awakening. Hmm.

I completed it in a couple of days but yes your right it is a good game.
