Don't you love Friday updates?

I remember when this game first came out in 1998; carrying something as big as the Legend of Zelda on something as small as a GameBoy seemed like magic at the time, where did Nintendo shove all the memory into the cartridge? Unfortunatley for me, all my friends got it around the time of its release while I had to wait until next year to get the game. After the long wait was over, I finally got my hands on the latest edition to the Legend of Zelda series: Link's Awakening. Just after recieving it as a gift, I placed all my others games I was constantly playing at the time (on my GameBoy Pocket, to be exact) on the shelf to gather dust. Sounds like cruel fate doesn't it? Don't worry, one of those games was Pokemon, which took up more than enough of my time already and needed to be shevled for a good three months. Funnily enough, the gift I got ended up being the original Link's Awakening (which was released in 1993 for the original GameBoy). This meant that, instead of saving up to buy the more expensive version of the same game that was in color that I couldn't see on my GameBoy Pocket, I could have simply bought the cheaper version and gotten the same results; but, because I was so patient, I ended up recieving the game for free when I went to visit my Grandma, many blessings upon her.

Its has been over ten years since I played that game and Nintendo has just rereleased it for sale on the Nintendo e-Shop for Zelda fans to purchase... again. Please note that this game is a rerelease of the GameBoy Color edition, this means that the game hasn't been updated from its 8-Bit (colored) graphics and sound; and that it just the way I like it.
