Oh my Flippin Gosh! And 20 year later (well almost) I finally beat this game! I can't believe I was playing this game as a five year old. This game was excruciatingly difficult at times for me, but after 17 years and many hours of childhood agony spent on the puzzles, I have finally beaten it.
Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
GameBoy-Nintendo-1993
I love this game. I have yet to hate a Legend of Zelda game. There are a couple that I'm not overly fond of, but I've never hated one.
As said before, this game has taken me some time to beat. I've been playing it on and off since I was five. I found it again and decided to play it for a road trip I was embarking on. So about a week later, TADA! I'm done.
This game isn't a button masher so much as a puzzler. I didn't have too much trouble with any of the bosses. Granted, there were a few moments of frustration with them, but never any moments of throwing the GameBoy into the wall or anything like that. No, the real difficulty of the game was the puzzles. There will be moments of gnashing teethe and ripping out hair.
Since it's a GameBoy game, there isn't any voice acting for me to judge. To be honest, I really enjoy the 8-bit music, and it was, in it's own way, rather pretty. I really like the "Ballad of the Wind Fish."
And that's it for now. I meant to beat Jak 2 next, but I was, needless to say, distracted by Zelda.
