    I recently played it with @Dario Turco and I gotta say - this is a really good Zelda game. It has the same style as my all-time favorite Zelda game #The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past so you could almost call this a port of the SNES game with downgraded graphics for the GameBoy. Of course it's not really a port as it features entirely new dungeons, different NPCs and a different story. What I found surprising is the huge amount of Mario references - lots of enemies (which look really cute in this game btw) resemble the same enemies from the Mario franchise, there are some 2D levels etc! Really cool! What I found incredibly annoying though is the constant switching of your gear. Not sure if it's due to the limitations of the GameBoy or due to the fact that the GameBoy doesn't have enough buttons but you have to constantly switch between items which gets really annoying. I also didn't like the ending because it feels like the whole adventure was just a pointless affair. All in all it's really fun though.

      Editing … Wind Waker HD was my first 3D Zelda! It's pretty good, although I had to rely on walkthroughs and stuff because I'm too dumb for 3D Zelda games... and I couldn't beat the final boss.

      Editing … Damn, when I try to open the original Wind Waker (GC) page Favslists gives me this error: "Fatal error: imagecreatefromjpeg(): gd-jpeg: JPEG library reports unrecoverable error: Unsupported marker type 0xfb in /home/ftpusers/favslist/inc/share/fonctions.inc on line 293 "

      Editing … ugghh as far as I can tell there's no way to fix broken pages (unless a new edit causes it--then just going back in your browser--maybe reverting the edit? I don't remember--fixes it)

      Editing … For 3D Zelda, I've played Ocarina of Time 3D, and I didn't actually finish Majora's Mask 3D. I think I find it harder to stick with portable games. For 2D Zeldas, I might've only actually finished The Minish Cap?

    Link's Awakening's "story" is weird. You have to collect eight instruments to awaken a wind fish from an egg to escape an island.

    Anyway, I've cleared two dungeons now. Somehow I found Oracle of Seasons more charming, but this is alright. I like this music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h848dMB0LgU&t=11s

    It should say a lot that Link's Awakening was, with no argument, the best handheld Zelda game for two decades. Even as new games were made for the GBA and DS, Link's Awakening captured the essence of Link to the Past better than any game since that game's 1991 release, handheld or not.The game's oddball sense of aesthetics and unique concepts and execution at points also make it refreshing to go back and play. Even though that text for heavy pots can be frustrating.

    What does the "DX" stand for in the GBC remake for Link's Awakening ? Dual Xtreeeeme?

    So '90s

    "Enter the dungeon. Once you've beaten the dungeon, go outside, take a couple of right turns and talk to the NPC."

    Gee, thanks for being such a help, DaOnlineGamer44.

    This is still the quintessential Zelda game for the Game Boy. The music and the graphics might look simple by today's standards, but the dialogue and the dungeons carry an unusual atmosphere of loneliness. It's a life-changing, dream-like experience with characters who convey their feelings in such a heartfelt, emotional way.

    Still my favorite handheld game and 2nd favorite Zelda to boot. GREAT dungeon designs make this as fun to play today as it did in '93, and because of that I still go back to play this often.
