Zelda: Links Awakening DX From a scale 1 through 10: The sound is 8 bit, so that means that anybody who became interested in games after 1997 probably wont like the tunes that much. You can always turn the sound off if it bugs you that much. But for those of us who like classic tunes, get a pair of headphones to put in your Gameboy (in the headphone jack at the bottom of the GBC) and turn the volume all the way up. The music may remind you of past Zelda games, and that is good. The gameplay is the main reason you want to buy Zelda DX. When youre not fighting monsters or solving puzzles, theres still plenty to do. While you start out with a sword and a shield, you will eventually acquire many different tools and weapons. This is what makes the Zelda series so unique. If one weapon or tool isnt working in a certain area, switch to another. Zelda also brings back something that a lot of RPGs lost after the Playstation came about. This feature is puzzles. While some RPGs on Playstation (Wild Arms series) have them, most dont and are mainly story driven. But Zelda has plenty of puzzles. The first time you play this you might have a little trouble with some of the puzzles. While the story is okay (and the ending is kind of lame), this should not stop you from enjoying it. In fact, even after beating Zelda DX about three times I still go back and play it occasionally. Ultimately, Zelda DX is one of the best Gameboy Color games out there. Its very long and great for car trips. So GBC and GBA owners should put down what theyre playing and go check out Zelda DX. You wont be disappointed. I also would recommend the Oracle series if you cant find DX. They are also good. But if youre looking for a straightforward adventure rather than two separate games that are linked together in a way, go for DX. Review by dragonryu |
