What did you like & dislike about Link's Awakening?

There's so much I love about LA that I can't list it all, but the ending is definitely number one for me. It's so bittersweet, it's just perfect.

What don't I like? There's that one dungeon that you can't beat if you unlock the wrong door, but, other than that, not much. It was too short, really. It was such a great game that I didn't want it to end.

Liked:

- Every dungeon has it's own music and they all sound great (except Key Cavern).
- Introduced the first fetch quest in Zelda games and they did it great and didn't overdo it.
- Pretty deep storyline even for a GB/GBC game.
- Good replay value.
- Not overly difficult while not being overly easy.
- The DX version reminds me of Earthbound because of the photographer.

Disliked:

- No Wallmasters!
- The boomerang should NEVER have been the most powerful weapon in the game!
- The sight of the Wind Fish was bad enough, but the sound it makes when it talks is horrendous!
- The first appearance of the annoying owl that never STFU through the entire game!

Undecided:
- The music that plays after getting a Guardian Acorn/Piece of Power is annoying especially when it plays during cool dungeon music, but not so bad when it plays during Key Cavern or the boring overworld.
- The forced messages you have to read if you are too close to a boulder or crystal or ice blocks. While I find them annoying myself, I find it hilarious when they piss other players off.
- Horse head puzzles that are so random whether they work right away or take like 100 tries.

It is. I particularly liked Marin and Link's relationship..sort of relationshup anyway.
What's wrong with the boomerang?

Oddly, of all the pieces of Nintendo hardware I've ever owned, my original copy of LA was the only one that ever failed. The background chip went out, but amazingly the rest of the game was fine. It was well past warrantee though, so eventually replaced it with a DX version.

I'm surprised the font didn't annoy anyone. I didn't mind it, but the italicized look did give me headaches before getting glasses.

Excellent game though. Easily one of the best in the whole license--despite the thing was a mammal, not a fish.

Things I liked:

-That music!
-Main characters.
-Self-explanatory mechanics, for the most part.
-Dungeons with a decent amount of difficulty.
-Wide range of items to use.
-Mario Bros. enemies! (stomping Goombas ftw)

Things I disliked:

-Guardian Acorn's theme...
-Limited warping.
-The bunch of useless text that comes up every time you're near a boulder.

The only thing I didn't like was how slowly you moved and how slowly the text scrolled.

Liked:
- In the original version there was a glitch that allowed screen warping when pressing 'select' as you moved from one screen to the next.
- First Zelda game I ever played, and the closest to my heart.
- Nearly everything else.

Disliked:
- the camera quest that came with the DX version. Completing it made people call me thief.
- fixing the 'select' glitch in the DX version
- I can't print the pictures in the 3DS virtual console version, or even save them to my 3DS
- why there are only 26 seashells? They should have made 30 seashells, and for people that waited to upgrade their sword until they got all 30 would get an L-3 sword.

LIKES: all the mario references.

dislikes: the beginning, sending you to a place with monsters without a sword. its not long but still

my favorite zelda game
