One of the first games I have ever played. I loved it at first but I was so young... I felt a bit disturbed by the atmosphere of the game. This and the game was sometimes a bit difficult for me. I never could finish it for these reasons and I never tried to play another Zelda game again. But maybe I should replay it (and play other Zelda games) now that I'm older and more experienced as a gamer.
Anyway, the music was awesome and this opening is just a classic !
6 years lol. I completed this in 6 weeks when it first came out. I was stuck for one week on the second dungeon. There was a room you had to kill things in the right order.
15 years ago the first level took me 5 fucking weeks .. 5 fucking weeks ... when i noticed i have to push THIS ONE block i slapped myself several times
X3 The only Zelda game I've ever owned and one I just recently rediscovered. I had it for the GameBoy Color (so mine was in color X3), and it is one of three GameBoy games I still own that work. That, Pokemon Crystal, and Pokemon Yellow. Aaaaaaahhhh.... Gooood times...... All my other Color games burned out long ago.
@epicent yeah, thanks man, I've figured it out already, but thanks, I remember trying it on my Gameboy and it didn't work at first, maybe I didn't press it right or my GBA is a little screwed, but I eventually looked it up online to make sure and tried it again, and that time it worked, yeah, but thanks.
I swear, the Zelda theme has never been as good before or since as when it kicks in here. it may just be bleeps and blops, but that shit makes my hair stand on end.
all the other, more modern variations just seem to lack that punch it has here
i loved this game and i was sad when i played me through it after years ;-)
i just played it after 15 (?) years in a flash emulator.... and when the fucking bird came first time at the beach, i really got hebby-jeebies!. unbelievable!
Must be one my favorite (zelda) games of all time... this one was great.. had everything in it... Good music, good story, lots and lots of sidequest.. :)
fuck its been a long time since ive seen this game it use to be my first legend of zelda game! ha i memeber jacking stuff from the store and some guy always killing me ha one o the bet games
Very underrated game. I bought it from a neighbor for $3 when I was a little kid. Played the hell out of it. When the batteries were going dead, I'd turn the volume all the way down and the contrast all the way up on the old GB and keep going for as long as I could.
The cartridge and the GB itself are also great quality. I dropped mine in a toilet, completely submerged and turned on. Never had a problem with it! Dried it off and kept playing.
Saaaame here man. (except the first gave part and the 5-7 year part.) I wish ZREO reorchestrated the opening scene. This would sound awesome if it were orchestrated!

The best legend of zelda game...tough actually very tough choice for me but if i had to pick one of the entries i would have to say A link to the past. Twilight princess was good but it didnt capture what made the earlier entries soo memorable. If nintendo wants to have an ace in the hole make a remake of a link to the past or links awakening. Then youll see some sparks fly.
I don't get it all the normal games have black and white, but the DX has full color my game is not black and white, but it does not have as much color as the DX version
When I got this game on the old gameboy the first game boy to ever come out, I was like what's this game supposed to be? I didn't understand anything, but now I'm playing it and it's fun. Hitting the chickens though isn't a good thing -.-
lol, yeah I know! This was one of the first new games that was actually MINE (my brothers owned all the NES and SNES games), and for a 6-year old, it was awesome. Many a night w/ my Game Boy magnifier under the covers, as well.
Oh & this was my first zelda game i actually had a demo version b4 the actual one came out & it was awesome up to the point were i didnt know were & wut to do anymore which was after that first cave!!! ^_^_^ ~Lucky~
What I liked about this intro over the Link to the Past one is that you don't have to read a crapload of storyline before getting into the game. And yea, this was my first Zelda game and my fav GB game ever, so I have deep affection for it. ;0
I remember I played the DX version when I was like 5. And this isn't the best Zelda game. Ocarina of Time is. And if you wanna go back, google The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening ROMs, and then google Visual Boy Advance and then open one of the ROMs you got with the VBA. Play on your PC ftw =)
I would not call this game best Zelda game. There are alot other better games than this. First for SNES A Link to the Past. One of the classics, and the CLASSIC Ocarina of Time. The best Zelda. Majora's Mask is little bit disappointment, I still love it but not that great. I hope I play Twilight Princess. I am not planning to buy Wii. Just an opinion of mine.
your right mm is a disapointment it does have alot of side quests but only four bosses common te first one had 16 main and second quest by entering zelda after beting the game
I disagree with you, Link's Awakening is one of the very best. Just because some games don't have great sound or graphics doesn't make it not a good as the others. Heck I think this is the best Zelda game.
I believe this was the first Zelda game I ever played. Too bad I never actually beat it. The story is incredible.

Long time! 3 months ago. I got Wii and Twilight Princess, now I can conclude which I think is the best Zelda.
1. Ocarina of Time
2. A Link to the Past
3. Link's Awakening
4. Twilight Princess
5. Majora's Mask
I can not conclude this yet, because I don't have Phantom Hourglass for DS.
You disagreed with me because I did not think Link's Awakening was the best Zelda. I did not say it sucked, I said it was not the best one.
