The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is the first title in the series to be released on a handheld system, and the only Zelda title on the original Game Boy. The gameplay is very similar to its predecessor with the top-down perspective, although there are short sections in dungeons where the game switches to a side-scrolling view with platforming elements. In this new adventure, Link must visit each of the 7 temples to find a musical instrument with which he can awaken the Wind Fish. On his way, he'll have to search the land and find hidden treasures and items that will take him further on his journey. Since its release, Link's Awakening has been very popular among fans and critics.
