It is has to many puzzle elements and the screen respawns everytime you leave making combat somewhat pointless. It is boring and the Final Fantasy Legend( 2 and 3 are best)& Adventure games are MUCH better, but are hard to find.

Fun but Hard

Zelda is a really entertaining game in which you are trying to awake the Wind Fish. You go around to different caves to fight and earn musical instruments. You must collect seven to win the game. I enjoyed the game at the beginning but it gets boring after a while. It is also very hard and I got stuck many times at many different points in the game. I would only reccomend this game to people who want to spend hours trying to find a key to a cave or walking around aimlessly not knowing what you are looking for.

"The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening" is awesome!

This game is the best game I've ever played for GB. I have the original version, not DX. (If you don't know the difference, DX is in color, but the original is in shades of grey. (I guess there are a couple additions in the DX game. But I repeat, ONLY a COUPLE.)) But, it's still pretty much the same concept. There are plenty of puzzles to keep you thinking, and tons of items. The bosses are pretty hard, and they're a puzzle themselves; you need to find out what method and item you need to use against them. Graphics are good (remember I'm playing the original); they are not exceptional, but good enough that you can clearly see what things are, and there is a lot of detail. The sound is good also; you don't get bogged down in too many sounds at once, but you can hear everything that goes on. If you like action games, this is good for you; but you're going to have to think, so stay away if you don't like puzzles. PUZZLES! Wow, there sure are a lot of them. Some of them are extremely difficult, and just when you think you're going to give up, or cheat off of a walkthrough, you figure it out! Hence, it's not impossible, just difficult. Well, RPG players, have a nice feast!

The Best GameBoy Color Game Before The Oracle Series

This game kicks rump, and is quite good for its graphics, and those graphics are very good for the GBC. There even better than Pokemon (and I thought those were good), and bring new light to the GBC, which usually has no good games, old or new, that have good graphics. Perhaps game developers will be inspired by the Zeldas and make better games graphicswise. People who like old-skool RPG's will like this, and so will people who like action, adventure, and puzzles (there's a lot of those). I tried this game after I beat the two newer old-skool Zeldas, the Oracle Series. But anyway, this game is good for about anyone who likes semi-difficult gaming.
The only problem is that when you save, you don't stay at the place you saved at; you go to the last door you went through, unlike Pokemon (even the newer Oracle Series doesn't save like Pokemon), but overall, this game is still good.
If you liked this game, also try: The Legend of Zelda:Oracle of Seasons&Ages.

From the very first game on the old Nintendo, I have always enjoyed the Zelda games. I was very excited to find out when they released this first gameboy version so I could take the games with me. There are other Zelda gameboy/GBA games since which I have yet to play, but I do reccomend this one for your library.
The level of play is very in depth, way more than the original Zelda's but about half the size of the Super NES Zelda game. The game play and style is also more similar to the Super NES version.
Its a basic tale as Link is trapped on an island of mystery. You collect items and beat different mini-monsters trying to solve the riddles. There is also an owl you can call for help if you ever get confused on your adventure. There is also an onboard detailed map so there is no additional manuals or guides needed to lug around to play this game.
There actually was a bug in the system which frustrated me and stopped me from playing this game for a while. It involved a warp flute in a later level and I accidently warped onto a statue causing Link to be stuck in some pixel overlap mishap. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this game, and as long as you are careful with that whistle...you will too!

Ya know, it's been shown that by keeping your mind active and challenged, your chance of getting Alzheimer's is greatly reduced. Well, thanks to Zelda, I won't have to worry about that! This game keeps you thinking, and requires a good memory, out-of-the-box strategizing and original-style planning. Sure, there's plenty of good old bashing and smashing, but mostly you need to have your wits about you. It's not an easy game, it will keep you challenged and occasionally baffled - but well worth it. Outstanding!

This game rocks

It is so cool. I have so many zelda games and there all so great. I have gba so they should make a game for that. If one came out i would buy it. If you liked this game you should get Gsolden Sun.

A good Zelda game, but not the best

This is a side story and it is implied that the whole thing is Link's dream. Play this if you're bored, but if not, don't bother, it's not really worth going out of your way for. It is long and occasionally boring. I would suggest Ocarina of time, Link's Awakening, or if you're just looking for GB get Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages.
