Legend of Zelda Links Awaking DX - Gameboy colour

Links 1st outing on the Gameboy is still one of the best games on Nintendos handheld. Links Awaking sees Link washed up a shore after being shipwrecked on Koholint Island,Found and rescued by Marin(who resembles Princess Zelda)and her father, Link soon sets upoun a quest to find out the mysteroy of Koholint island. Now Links Awaking was the 1st game that really got me hooked on the Zelda series and i can honestly say this is a great introduction to Zelda games if you have never played them before. The game is so accesable and really gets you involved in the story, i guantee that if you start playing this game you wont put it down for hours, its really that good. This game captured everything thing that made the Snes game so amazing and some how managed to cram it into a little game. If you are not a fan of RPGS it really doesnt matter as Links Awaking is superb and has so much character. Now the main difference in the DX version compared to the standered games arent just the colour graphics, it also has a extra dungeon and a few other little secrets, oroiginally when i heard about this game I thought it wasnt really worth it, but i got it and and soon enjoyed the game all over again. So this is the main reason ive decided to the DX version for this review, becasue it has that little bit more.

@LarryBundyJr is as good as you remember it?

ive been playing it on my gameboy and im finding the game a lot tougher now, i dont know if i can find all those sea shells either like i used to back in the good old days

@locomaniacs1hmps 8bit wars Eswat is on its way soon, ive got another 20 vids before hand to upload, ive pre recorded loads of stuff ages ago so im going through the back log of older vids

Andy, you should pick up the game "Monster Max" on the Gameboy, it's the little known sequel to Head over Heels. A must if you love those isometric games.

Oh and Race Drivin'. REALLY impressive game for the gameboy.

[locomaniacs1hmps]

@LarryBundyJr i did think it was a sequel but more of fact that it was made by the same guy in the same style.

but ive only played on emulation, but i am picking up the real games on the gameboy:)

This really was an awesome game. I played through the original (non-DX) version many times back in the day. Great gateway game into the Zelda series.

[locomaniacs1hmps]

@HiroGaems totally agreew ith you,, these games are great.

i love the series, my fave has to be majoras mask

[LarryBundyJr]

@locomaniacs1hmps Well I must admit I never finished the original, and I can't play it at all on an original GB screen now as it's just sooo blurry today. But it's really enjoyable now yeah.

Did you know Link's Awakening originally started out as a port of Zelda III?

[locomaniacs1hmps]

@Lorfarius haha i did that to, just to find all the sea shells.

i got to admit its been agaes since i had played this game and i am finding it tougher.

[locomaniacs1hmps]

@Leigho79 its a great game i got my copy from ebay recently:)

[locomaniacs1hmps]

@Gamesta100 its the other way round for me, im not a big fan of turn based rpg.

the zelda games i find are a nice and easy way to get started with whole RPG
