@@NxL1T3x To play these kinds of games and then take the time to review them means he's gonna have to play a lot more games in general, and that means watching less movies and TV. Which is not gonna happen. There's not enough hours in a day, unfortunately.

"i accidentally solved it. that's SO zelda." as someone who's played four of these games now, i know exactly what jeremy's talkin about. hope he talks more about games.
I respect Joe for wanting to do new things after so many years of game reviews....but games are what made his channel. By not doing them as much he’s alienating his main audience.
Im happy you made this review. Ive never played a Zelda game, but I was intrigued by the art design. Definitely gonna put his in my wish list. Edit: I bought it guys, 30 hours in and loving it. Thanks everyone!
Technically Link's Awakening has 2 other games similar to it. Oracle of seasons and Time. Unfortunately I think there's still some issues regarding ownership, because Capcom was involved, so I don't think these will get he remake treatment.
Jeremy ma boyy. Game reviews are what all true fans ask for! Cause I love seeing your passion for the games you review. Also adds a bit of variety to the channel. Keep em comin!
first game i ever played was the original links awakening. my birthday was the exact same day as the remakes launch. do the math on how i feel about this magical, beautiful game.
its so satisfying in these old school games figuring things out after wandering around trying things over and over once you finally advance into new areas you feel so elated. link to the past did a great job opf making the items you get to be truly impactful
Barbaryotaku urgh, same here. Right about finishing my second run on the golden deer right now. Guess the benefit is that I’ll be able to find this game secondhand on eBay for cheaper.
You're so right about not going online to figure it out. This wasn't a 10 hour game back in the day. It took me months as a kid trying to figure it out and I'm so happy I did it the way it was meant!
I’m so thrilled you finally played this and I couldn’t care less that this was your first time. Such a great game, I couldn’t BELIEVE I was playing Zelda on the go back then. Absolutely love it. Thank you for this review and glad you enjoyed it!
I’m so addicted to this game. It’s even better than I thought it would be. Never played the original and I was also impressed when I went looking for guides in the original and realised that it was IDENTICAL regarding to content and the whole universe or map design.
As a Zelda fan, it made me so happy to see a review for one of my favorite entries in the series. Link's Awakening was what got me into playing the series. Played both the original Gameboy version (a little bit of it) and the GBC DX version. Man, I had so much fun playing the GBC version along with the Oracle of Ages/Seasons games growing up. Those are still my favorite Zelda games.
2:13 - Yes, for sure, and this kind of "Well, go adventure, have fun" kind of thing worked so well on the Game Boy! I'd sit there puzzling away as a little kid for hours, maybe solve something, maybe not, and even though you could speedrun this thing in no time now, it was such an epic, great (headache-inducing) experience back in the day. It was the kind of game where you'd get stumped on something, you'd put it away, pick it back up, think outside the box, and suddenly you'd get it.
As a life long Nintendo fan and Pokemon fan I must say I agree with the Indiana Jones Knight. You chose.....Poorly. But since you DO have the Switch I would LOVE a Pokemon Sword or Shield review when that comes out. It would be a great introduction to the world of Pokemon.
@@sprittel lol. It's all good. I mean I always frick up Chose and Choose lol. You know I kind of get why ENGLISH of all languages is the hardest to learn. With present tense vs past, and words having multiple meanings....damn lol. We gotta chill lol
Just started Astral Chain this weekend, its really good, a brand new IP, and finally a new "gimmick" that actually makes the game stand out from other combo beat em ups.
Always have this welcome feeling every time you review a Zelda game. I can see how huge Zelda fan you are Jeremy. That feeling of “hey! If Jeremy likes Zelda games then why are you not?” I feel like I have a companion in you by playing Zelda games. I don’t care if others are saying that a Zelda game is just for Kids. If Jeremy is playing it, enjoying it, why can’t I? The hell with them. Lol! Love the review! Awesome!
Well it dosent surprise me really, he said he was never a huge Pokemon fan, and that his only real exposure to the Pokemon brand was through smash bro's. So it's easy to believe he has never owned a gameboy
Link's Awakening is hands down my favorite Zelda game and experiencing it again in this adorable art style is phenomenal. (And the cute toy aesthetic makes that twist even more heartbreaking. So damn good.)
my only gripe was the fire rod feeling nerfed. not only does it take two hits to kill most enemies, it no longer incinerates mutts and cuccoos. the latter might have been for the best. after all, animal abuse feels out of links character.
@@supersmashbro596 I think the boomerang might have been rebalanced too, it doesn't seem to be the unstoppable force of destruction it was back on the gameboy. But on the bright side, they tweaked a bunch of things so you don't have to choose between boomerang and shovel anymore.
@@SamuraiMujuru it can two hit ko most enemies rather than one. still op, but a lot more focus is on the sword, which gets a significant boost in power with both the koholint sword and the red tunic. i still hate that both these items were nerfed.
This game has so many improvements compared to the original! In the Gameboy version, the sword and shield counted as items you needed to equip, so you constantly had to go back and forth from the menu switching them out.
This reliance on nostalgia in cinema and television is becoming tedious. I'd have hoped that the newer generations would have been brave enough to blaze their own trails by now with their own originality and creativity but apperantly not. I love the original film but this new series had to shoehorn LGBT themes into it and of course take a pot shot at Trump like the new Trek series. Rehashing and trotting out old pop culture and tacking your angst to it is not being creative. Like my old art teacher, the crusty Nam verteran, used to say when he saw work that was a halfhearted effort, _"Blech!"_
as a 32 year old hardcore link the past fan you summed up so many of my thoughts on this. got a switch for this and just finished "level 2" and im loving it and im kinda happy i never played the OG when i was a kid as I never got a gameboy or gamegear. It has so many link to the past elements its like like im playing a whole new link to the past with awesome modern graphics and is completly new to me. Already getting stuck on the simplist things classic zelda style u have to try absolutely everything but its usuallty fair
It’s always good to see people playing this for the first time and loving it. I feel that not near enough people played it back in the day because it was on a handheld. It was actually my first Zelda game, and I can’t wait to get this version and relive my childhood :D
Really say it everytime, but your game reviews are as good as your film reviews... makes me wish he could clone himself and cover both games and movies with the same regularity. I smile anytime i see a video game review from Jeremy.
Turning a 2d game into 3d isn’t going to make it better if anything it would take away from some of the classic 2d charm I agree they should do a remake but they should keep the original top down style
Links Awakening was the 1st Zelda game I've ever played. Second overall. They did an amazing job with the transition. I turned the game on, watched the "classical" style animation, and started the game. When Link wakes up and the 1st tones for the village music started to play i began to cry. It took me right back to when i was a kid again.
Link's Awakening was the first game I ever played. My dad gave me his original Gameboy when I was a kid and his entire collection of games and I remember falling in love with it. the only issue was that I was a pretty young kid and I had trouble completing some of the dungeons because I just didn't know what to do. When this happened, I would go to my dad and ask for him to finish it for me, so we would sit and finish the dungeon together. Now, I'm 27, and I cannot wait to get this game, sit down with my dad, and do it all over again. This game is what made me fall in love with the franchise and just video games in general. It also gave me some of my best childhood memories. I can't wait to play the remake and I cannot recommend this game enough for those who never played the original.
This game introduced me to the Gameboy pocket and it's one of those titles that fueled my love for videogames. Grezzo did a fantastic job bringing this game to the modern era while staying faithful to the original, and while it's hard not to look at Link's Awakening through nostalgia glasses for those that experienced it in the 90's Link's Awakening is a must for any Zelda lovers and Switch owners alike. This title takes you back in a time when developers had to work around major hardware limitations and the amount of content packed in this world is truly impressive.
I didn't have a Game Boy, but I had a friend who had a Super Game Boy adapter, and Links Awakening, and he was awesome enough to let me borrow both! Loved it!
the original on Gameboy was an incredible experience. I was pretty young when I first played it. Going on the quest after getting the Yoshi doll from the crane game was epic. First Zelda game I ever beat. I really wanna play this remake as it's clearly so faithful to the original. It even looks like it added some extra stuff. I don't remember picking up apples from trees anyway. I watched a small documentary on youtube about the making of Link's Awakening. The team had a really fun time making the game. I think it really shows through in the gameplay.
One of my all time favorites, I lost my mind when I heard it was coming back for the switch. Having played the heck out of it as a kid it makes me so happy to see my kids enjoying and struggling through it today. It is still great still holds up its cult timeless classic and awesometacular
margareth michelina well can you blame them? The game called legend of zelda...not legend of link...it had me confused too...why not legend of link?why zelda?what sooo legend about zelda?
@@hisyamamirudiin26 hate to be the well actually guy, BUT the reason canonically why it's the Legend of Zelda is because (SPOILERS FROM SKYWARD SWORD) she is the reincarnation of the goddess Hylia and it is always Link's job to protect her at some point so she can do her job of saving the world or help Link to save the world.
awww Jeremy... it’s wonderful to see you genuinely happy! i remember back when i was a Collider fan (before the Last Jedi showed me they were all fake corporate sell outs) and you joined the team and i really liked you... but i could tell the politics, egos and programing there were effecting your pure joyous spirit... i’m so proud you listened to your heart, and in spite of the business opportunities in LA... decided to move back and become your own boss again. your happiness and choices in life are an inspiration and infectious! :) i’m a big Zelda fan who never played Awakening before... and you got me so pumped up for this! thanks for the spirited authentic review! and keep your soul burning brightly my dear! xo
Snake of Rivia i do... they were such fun loving authentic guys... then Christian drank the Disney koolaid... Ellis refused to talk about TLJ cause he’s an awful liar... Jedi Counsel literally make me nauseous cause it’s nonstop lying... Disney’s The Last Jedi was awful but instead of being honest about it they all showed what pathetic suck ups they are... i felt like i lost a bunch friends... i’m so glad Jeremy left and kept his soul!
Did not want to use a guide and was stuck in a part of game, got frustrated and started cutting all the bushes like a mad man, one of the random bushes had a hidden path to move forward…. 10/10 best gamer moment ever.
Back when I was in grade school played the original Zelda and Link games on the original Nintendo...so long before the Internet was used for tips & tricks...we'd compare notes and tips in the school yard at recess. That word of mouth helped huge for the Zelda games, Super Mario, Metroid, Contra (to get extra lives), etc...
Jeremy.. . . PLEASE do more game reviews. . Dont get me wrong, i come for the movie reviews but everytime you do a game, i get stoked to check it out. . . And more often than not, i go buy the game depending ON your review. . . . Long story short, more content more often please sir!!!!!!
I bought an Xbox One from a guy that had Witcher 3 downloaded on there DLC and all, didn't try it till a year later but it's the best free game I've ever played.
I remember watching my dad play this great game when it came out for the game boy color. We didnt have internet back then and it took him hours to find the keys but it sure was a rewarding experience when he did. He also did the sidequests and got all the photos. All this without internet. Gotta get this game so i can continue the legacy
Great review😁🖒 I had mine preordered and my husband and I have been taking turns playing it all weekend. I totally agree with your review, right on point!! Also, I was literally in that bird dungeon last night and my husband was/is stuck there in his game. So I was so tempted to look it up but instead I just kept trying and when I finally figured it out it was sooo worth it! It definitely makes the game better to figure things out on your own. Sometimes putting it away for a few and coming back with fresh eyes helps too.😊
Jeremy! Nice review! & I must agree with you! I’m somewhere in the middle / 3/4 of Awakening & it’s glorious! I never played/owned the original/a game boy, had a Sega Genesis & my childhood next door neighbors had a SNES so missed the whole gba / portable games thing until upgrading to my ‘Sega Genesis Nomad! in ‘97...’98? (Idk, whenever it released) -Sega beat everyone to the first portable handheld console that could connect to a tv -it was awesome! Anyway, keep up the good work, &... didn’t you do a little misty-eyed review of ‘The Last Guardian’? Would love to see you share a full, proper review of that masterpiece!
I completely agree with your review. Perfect old school Zelda that you can't put down. I also beat the game already, but I still need to finish collecting seashells and heart pieces and definitely plan to play again soon since I found out about the extended ending if you beat the game with zero deaths. I must admit, I had to youtube what to do with the damn ball.
Love your game reviews! I got this game on launch and im absolutely loving its art style. Its so cute! Agree that theres just something special to the zelda adventure. Its me and my families first time playing it :)
I love that game, I bought it for myself, beat it in 5 hours and it was as good as back in the day. My kid loves it now and it’s so much fun to watch him struggle with it,
Links Awakening was the first Zelda game, therefore my favourite 2D Zelda game, I played. I never beat it when i was a kid in the 90's. it wasn't until they released the DX version for early adopters of the nintendo 3DS that i beat it in prep for ocarina of time. I cant wait to get my hands on this new and stylized version of the game
I’ll admit, this being my first time playing through this game after missing out on it when it was on Gameboy, I had to TH-cam a puzzle or two because I spent 2 hours trying to figure it out. My older age does not allow much patience nowadays and 2 hours was really pushing it. Some of those puzzles are kinda obscure, it’s a wonder people figured things out when they did.
I have been a Zelda fan for my whole life now and after finally playing this game I think it’s my favorite out of all of Them! But it’s close between that and spirit tracks because I loved playing that as a kid. More of a nostalgia thing
This is literally the third time I've bought this title. The Gameboy I bought came with the original version. Then I moved onto Gameboy Color and bought Link's Awakening DX, which featured added color and a new optional dungeon themed around color. And just yesterday, I bought the Switch version, and I STILL have my original and DX versions.
I've played Super Nintendo's A Link to the past upteen dozen times and loved it. Didn't ever get to play Awakening even tho I had a game boy. I played Twilight Princess 4 times and played Skyward sword so many times I ran through it on regular mode in 25 hours. This new Awakening is bringing that old school Zelda exitment feeling back to me.
That's what I'm talking about! I just got it yesterday and I'm having a blast. I played the original game, loved it. I'm gonna keep playing this one, probably gonna love it too. Only thing I don't like is the "build your own dungeon" thing. Should've kept the photo booth
I love Jeremy's game reviews. He puts so much love and Energy into games he likes. I hope he never reviews a game he dislikes. To this day My favorite Jeremy review is the MGS Series review.
Zelda getting more awesometaculars than any movie this year
General rule of thumb: if Jeremy reviews a game, it's gonna be awesometacular =D
I'm waiting for him to give a game the "great time if you're drunk" rating.
@@NxL1T3x To play these kinds of games and then take the time to review them means he's gonna have to play a lot more games in general, and that means watching less movies and TV. Which is not gonna happen. There's not enough hours in a day, unfortunately.

You need to do more of these game reviews
I love them
You should totally review Astral Chain and Smash Ultimate as well

The game is a masterpiece, one of the greatest installments in the series and this remake by Grezzo is fantastic.
Ahem.... Hollow Knight
jediknightgeo but it has some frame rate issues but the game is overall great

Will you review Luigi's Mansion 3 too? Please?
I hope
I played Link's awakening around 1995 and fell in love with the franchise because of it!
I loved botw but I really needed a hit of classic zelda
Nice comment man

Ma dude, everyone knows the sword is on the beach hahaha glad you enjoyed the game! Please keep game reviews coming!
They should do a 3D HD remake of Zelda 1, I feel like that should happen at some point.
Word! Why hasn't this happened yet? I cant play the original. Too many things need to be fixed
Also a link to the past

Now, I'm 27, and I cannot wait to get this game, sit down with my dad, and do it all over again. This game is what made me fall in love with the franchise and just video games in general. It also gave me some of my best childhood memories. I can't wait to play the remake and I cannot recommend this game enough for those who never played the original.
Video games: when you want to give yourself the illusion that you’re getting s*** done in life
This game introduced me to the Gameboy pocket and it's one of those titles that fueled my love for videogames. Grezzo did a fantastic job bringing this game to the modern era while staying faithful to the original, and while it's hard not to look at Link's Awakening through nostalgia glasses for those that experienced it in the 90's Link's Awakening is a must for any Zelda lovers and Switch owners alike.
This title takes you back in a time when developers had to work around major hardware limitations and the amount of content packed in this world is truly impressive.
I played the original and it was fire and beat it but the remake is a masterpiece
I'm making Ocarina of time on the Game Boy Advance! I'm posting good progress so far. I love the Zelda games.
Game Gear is a decent system, it just didn't win the handheld wars...
I didn't have a Game Boy, but I had a friend who had a Super Game Boy adapter, and Links Awakening, and he was awesome enough to let me borrow both! Loved it!
Still waiting on that RDR2 review. For the 1 year anniversary maybe?
the original on Gameboy was an incredible experience. I was pretty young when I first played it. Going on the quest after getting the Yoshi doll from the crane game was epic. First Zelda game I ever beat. I really wanna play this remake as it's clearly so faithful to the original. It even looks like it added some extra stuff. I don't remember picking up apples from trees anyway.
I watched a small documentary on youtube about the making of Link's Awakening. The team had a really fun time making the game. I think it really shows through in the gameplay.
Wait, so that that mean Jermey was Sonic kid?
Eww Sonic
One of my all time favorites, I lost my mind when I heard it was coming back for the switch. Having played the heck out of it as a kid it makes me so happy to see my kids enjoying and struggling through it today. It is still great still holds up its cult timeless classic and awesometacular
Legend said there are some morons out there who called Link as Zelda
margareth michelina well can you blame them? The game called legend of zelda...not legend of link...it had me confused too...why not legend of link?why zelda?what sooo legend about zelda?
John Stroud sooo nothing legend bout zelda at all!
It was the 80s!!! We were young and didn't know better!!!
@@hisyamamirudiin26 hate to be the well actually guy, BUT the reason canonically why it's the Legend of Zelda is because (SPOILERS FROM SKYWARD SWORD) she is the reincarnation of the goddess Hylia and it is always Link's job to protect her at some point so she can do her job of saving the world or help Link to save the world.
Always love to see a Zelda review from you, Jeremy!
Is there a better way to start your morning than Jeremy reviewing Link's Awakening?
awww Jeremy... it’s wonderful to see you genuinely happy! i remember back when i was a Collider fan (before the Last Jedi showed me they were all fake corporate sell outs) and you joined the team and i really liked you... but i could tell the politics, egos and programing there were effecting your pure joyous spirit... i’m so proud you listened to your heart, and in spite of the business opportunities in LA... decided to move back and become your own boss again. your happiness and choices in life are an inspiration and infectious! :) i’m a big Zelda fan who never played Awakening before... and you got me so pumped up for this! thanks for the spirited authentic review! and keep your soul burning brightly my dear! xo
Remember when Collider was good and the Schmoes didn't act like douche bags ? Feels like ages ago.
Snake of Rivia i do... they were such fun loving authentic guys... then Christian drank the Disney koolaid... Ellis refused to talk about TLJ cause he’s an awful liar... Jedi Counsel literally make me nauseous cause it’s nonstop lying... Disney’s The Last Jedi was awful but instead of being honest about it they all showed what pathetic suck ups they are... i felt like i lost a bunch friends... i’m so glad Jeremy left and kept his soul!
Also Jeremy, GBA emulation is very good on PC. Just sayin' ;)

Did not want to use a guide and was stuck in a part of game, got frustrated and started cutting all the bushes like a mad man, one of the random bushes had a hidden path to move forward…. 10/10 best gamer moment ever.
I wish OofT and MMask come on Switch, I struggle playing hand hold consoles.
Back when I was in grade school played the original Zelda and Link games on the original Nintendo...so long before the Internet was used for tips & tricks...we'd compare notes and tips in the school yard at recess. That word of mouth helped huge for the Zelda games, Super Mario, Metroid, Contra (to get extra lives), etc...
Nintendo need to stop releasing great games or I’m gonna have to buy their goddamn system.
Wait, is THAT how this industry is supposed to work?
Yup
Bingo
Jeremy.. . . PLEASE do more game reviews. . Dont get me wrong, i come for the movie reviews but everytime you do a game, i get stoked to check it out. . . And more often than not, i go buy the game depending ON your review. . . . Long story short, more content more often please sir!!!!!!
What about Red Dead Redemption 2 boy!!
The music in Link to a Past SNES will always be epic in my heart. Even the title screen intro music is something of a masterpiece in itself 😍😍😍😍
Jeremy Jahns if you haven't played the Witcher 3 yet...you must.
it baffles me how he has not played it
@@rorylennon4043 thank God there's a Switch port on the way
I bought an Xbox One from a guy that had Witcher 3 downloaded on there DLC and all, didn't try it till a year later but it's the best free game I've ever played.
I want more epic fantasy games like Witcher 3 . One of the best games of all time imo.
I remember watching my dad play this great game when it came out for the game boy color. We didnt have internet back then and it took him hours to find the keys but it sure was a rewarding experience when he did. He also did the sidequests and got all the photos. All this without internet. Gotta get this game so i can continue the legacy
He gave is an Awesometacular, saved you some time.
KorianBossMonster I come here to hear Jeremy not his “rating”
Great review😁🖒 I had mine preordered and my husband and I have been taking turns playing it all weekend. I totally agree with your review, right on point!! Also, I was literally in that bird dungeon last night and my husband was/is stuck there in his game. So I was so tempted to look it up but instead I just kept trying and when I finally figured it out it was sooo worth it! It definitely makes the game better to figure things out on your own. Sometimes putting it away for a few and coming back with fresh eyes helps too.😊
Remember folks, rian johnson ruined star wars
More game reviews please!!! Love your content!
Yikes this game just seems overpriced lol
Yes it is
Jeremy reviewing games is a MUST watch
Jeremy! Nice review! & I must agree with you! I’m somewhere in the middle / 3/4 of Awakening & it’s glorious! I never played/owned the original/a game boy, had a Sega Genesis & my childhood next door neighbors had a SNES so missed the whole gba / portable games thing until upgrading to my ‘Sega Genesis Nomad! in ‘97...’98? (Idk, whenever it released) -Sega beat everyone to the first portable handheld console that could connect to a tv -it was awesome! Anyway, keep up the good work, &... didn’t you do a little misty-eyed review of ‘The Last Guardian’? Would love to see you share a full, proper review of that masterpiece!
I completely agree with your review. Perfect old school Zelda that you can't put down. I also beat the game already, but I still need to finish collecting seashells and heart pieces and definitely plan to play again soon since I found out about the extended ending if you beat the game with zero deaths. I must admit, I had to youtube what to do with the damn ball.
I love your video game reviews! Please do more Switch game reviews
Love your game reviews! I got this game on launch and im absolutely loving its art style. Its so cute! Agree that theres just something special to the zelda adventure. Its me and my families first time playing it :)
I love that game, I bought it for myself, beat it in 5 hours and it was as good as back in the day. My kid loves it now and it’s so much fun to watch him struggle with it,
Links Awakening was the first Zelda game, therefore my favourite 2D Zelda game, I played. I never beat it when i was a kid in the 90's. it wasn't until they released the DX version for early adopters of the nintendo 3DS that i beat it in prep for ocarina of time. I cant wait to get my hands on this new and stylized version of the game
If you like the 2D Zelda you should try the Oracle games for GBC. You can get them on the 3DS shop still.
I’ll admit, this being my first time playing through this game after missing out on it when it was on Gameboy, I had to TH-cam a puzzle or two because I spent 2 hours trying to figure it out. My older age does not allow much patience nowadays and 2 hours was really pushing it. Some of those puzzles are kinda obscure, it’s a wonder people figured things out when they did.
I have been a Zelda fan for my whole life now and after finally playing this game I think it’s my favorite out of all of
Them! But it’s close between that and spirit tracks because I loved playing that as a kid. More of a nostalgia thing
I'm tired of people saying this game isn't worth full price. It's a great game!
People say that about every Nintendo remake 😒
This is literally the third time I've bought this title. The Gameboy I bought came with the original version. Then I moved onto Gameboy Color and bought Link's Awakening DX, which featured added color and a new optional dungeon themed around color. And just yesterday, I bought the Switch version, and I STILL have my original and DX versions.
I've played Super Nintendo's A Link to the past upteen dozen times and loved it. Didn't ever get to play Awakening even tho I had a game boy. I played Twilight Princess 4 times and played Skyward sword so many times I ran through it on regular mode in 25 hours. This new Awakening is bringing that old school Zelda exitment feeling back to me.
That's what I'm talking about! I just got it yesterday and I'm having a blast. I played the original game, loved it. I'm gonna keep playing this one, probably gonna love it too. Only thing I don't like is the "build your own dungeon" thing. Should've kept the photo booth
Dammit jahns because of your awesometacular reviews of the switch now im getting a switch
Am happy your back to gaming review
I love when Jeremy does game reviews. I vote do more!
I love Jeremy's game reviews. He puts so much love and Energy into games he likes. I hope he never reviews a game he dislikes. To this day My favorite Jeremy review is the MGS Series review.
Great review. Please do more Switch game reviews.
I was one of the lucky ones that had a GB and played this back then, amazing game.
Love your Game Reviews!
