link's awakening is my favorite zelda game :< when i finally got a gameboy of my own that was the game that came with it and i played that thing all day everyday. i love the story and the tone and all its quirkyness that really bring through a feeling that the entire game was a labor of love and everyone involved gave it their all. i had never played a game before that made me consider the consequences of completing it.

for me it edges out link to the past, though i really enjoy that game also. even with that said, when i tried to relive the experience on the original hardware i found it to be totally unplayable :< but i have no real reason to bust out the old green machine when i can play it on the super gameboy or gameboy player or gameboy color or gameboy advance or emulated on the ds
