Product Description
“Castaway, you should know the truth.” As Link, you awaken in a strange land away from Hyrule, where animals talk and monsters roam. To uncover the truth behind your whereabouts and rouse the legendary Wind Fish, explore Koholint Island and all its trap-ridden dungeons, reimagined in stunning detail for this new release of one of the most beloved The Legend of Zelda games. Along the way, you’ll meet a hilarious assortment of charming characters to which you’ll never want to say goodbye. In this new version of the game, the classic soundtrack has been reborn with new arrangements, and now you can equip more items at once, review key conversations, and navigate the map in new ways. Try your hand at the renovated mini-games to earn dolls based on the Super Mario series or Chamber Stones. These unusual stones can be used to arrange your own Chamber Dungeons; each one is a puzzle in and of itself. Place chambers from dungeons found throughout the game on a series of objective-based grids. Where should the bosses go? How do you get from the entrance to the stairwell? They’re your dungeons, so arrange them however you see fit. To earn more Chamber Stones, you must conquer the main adventure’s dungeons and mini-games or tap any amiibo featuring a The Legend of Zelda character to unlock Chambers exclusive to amiibo. 1993-2019 Nintendo. The Legend of Zelda and Nintendo Switch are trademarks of Nintendo.

1) The frame rate issues are a bit worse than I initially experienced. In the few parts of the game where it runs at 60 FPS, the game FEELS perfect. Fluid, detailed, and rich. But many parts, especially in the over world, there's parts that just aren't optimized and the frame rate drops, making it feel unpolished. That doesn't diminish the overall quality of the game, but it's an annoyance that should have been polished up before release.
2) This release sets a new bar for retro game remakes. This is a fairly short game compared to modern releases, but the experience and art direction make it well worth the retail price. However, if Nintendo doesn't inform us of a Link to the Past remake soon, there's going to be a lot of VERY disappointed fans. The treatment of keeping the most important parts of the original intact, while making minor improvements to modernize it, was absolutely the right decision, and I hope other studios will follow suit here!
3) Perfect game for kids. My daughter has always been a bit nonplussed at retro games, but seeing this release has made her excited about playing the other older Zelda games. (Previously only played Breath of the Wild). This is such an easy way to connect with you kids on something you loved as a child! Well... if you're of a certain age. :)

This is a straight up, almost exact remake of the original game with a few minor differences. The claymation-like graphics look incredible! The only minor quibble is that the frame rate is inconsistent in several areas, which I expect to be fixed with software updates.
If you loved the original, you will love the remake. If you want to feel even more nostalgic, get a retro controller for the switch, like this one:

I played this game in Spanish to help me practice and I thought the translation was good in both English and Spanish. I paid full price for this game and had gotten my money's worth. I completed this game between 10-15 hours; I disagree with some saying that's a short game.

La aventura se desarrolla en un mapa que aparenta ser pequeño en extensión pero que contiene varios secretos por doquier.
El tiempo de duración es corto, dependiendo de qué tanto se detenga uno mismo para contemplar los alrededores.
Es un juego entretenido que ofrece gran emoción con sus controles intuitivo y su historia memorable.
