YEah, I imagine it'll cost some on the second hand market =/ I just think that a game like that should be enjoyed on the original console :D Yeah, I get the same feeling: it's the "old school" Zelda enthusiasts that's got all these opinions about where to take the series, and no wonder really; they've seen the series transform from 2D to 3D, to WW, TP and SS - we've seen it all =) But I think Link's Awakening is usually mentioned, for the Game Boy, as one of the best entries in the series? |
Link's Awakening is mentioned by most older Zelda fans. Rightfully so, the game is utter genious in every aspect. It is unbelievable the game was even possible on the GameBoy as it gives it's 'big' brother on the SNES a serious run for it's money. I feel it even surpasses it easily. It's still underrated though, as far as I'm concerned, but I think the 3DS port of the game did it some good at least.
Personally, I think Link's Awakening is the second best Zelda game after Ocarina of Time. It also ranks high in my personal top 10 video games in general.
it is true though, most Zelda fans mention LoZ, ALttP and OoT as the defining games, even when LA has a lot of 'series-firsts'. Younger fans usually mention Twilight Princess instead of the 2D games. Ah, well, not their fault, they just weren't around back then!
