-The Legend of Zelda: This is your chance to finally beat the original Zelda game. You're probably going to want to look up the original manual or at least a few guides, because this game was never meant to be played alone with no help.
-Zelda II: Adventure of Link: I'm sorry, but this was just not fun. I didn't play it very much.
-Link's Awakening: Arguably one of the best Zelda games ever, this is the standout inclusion of this Game & Watch.
-Vermin: A mindless mini-game; whack-a-mole, starring Link.
Major criticisms:
-What you see is what you get. There is no way to add more games or software to this device. In an era of loads of third-party retro handhelds, this can feel very limited for the cost. I actually felt that this was somewhat liberating: this machine plays 3.5 Zelda games, and that's all it does--no internet, no software updates, no transferring files. But there are definitely more cost-efficient retro consoles out there.
-This device, with its beautiful color screen and vivid display, comes loaded with...the original black-and-white GameBoy version of Link's Awakening. I have to imagine that the REAL reason this was done was because the GameBoy Color version, Link's Awakening DX, included a mini-game that integrated with the now-defunct GameBoy Camera, and it would seem like a faux pas to include a game on this device that was limited in some capacity.
-I would have GLADLY traded Adventure of Link for A Link to the Past. Or, include Link to the Past in addition to Adventure of Link, if there's enough space.
Charging is a cinch, note that it uses a USB-C cable for those duties.
Sound is...well, let's say Retro and that it's entirely appropriate for the games. The speaker is on the left side of the unit and can be inadvertently covered up by your hand during play though.
As for the games, yeah they are the exact games. Saving games is possible here as well. Only real nit I have is that the form factor is a touch small so that makes gameplay (for me) a little more challenging. But then, this whole thing fits in my jacket pocket whereas my Switch doesn't.
I really like this. That all said, probably not worth the extreme premium scalpers are likely to charge. At the MSRP though, it's just about right.
A good product!!
The Legend of Zelda modern Game & Watch is a fine nostalgia trip into Nintendo's past era of gaming, where 8-bit games were still going strong, three classic titles, The Legend of Zelda, The Legend of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and the Game Boy game, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening are all included on the small system, along with a small twist on the classic Game & Watch game, Vermin as you play as Link hammering down a bunch of.... octoroks? that's what they look like anyway!
All of the games are preserved working in perfect quality, with a game pause feature allowing you to continue where you left off, changing screen brightness, and even having an exclusive little screensaver for each game if you leave the games idle for a while. On top of that, the handheld also has its own clock that you can adjust the time to, and exclusive for this handheld is setting a timer and playing a fun minigame of defeating as many enemies as possible as the timer goes down.
The handheld itself feels very sleek fitting right into the palms of your hands, and a nice rubbery feel to the buttons, apparently feeling accurate to how the original 1980s Game & Watch systems did. I've heard nitpicks from certain social media comments saying they wished that Nintendo went with the DX version of Link's Awakening, but I think in theory Nintendo wanted to use the 1993 release as the original Game Boy and Game & Watch released in the same decade, and really, I have no complaints about that.
Some may not take a liking to the pricing, especially when scalpers have to bring up the price higher, but if you can manage to grab a copy on the retail shelf for its actual price, I highly recommend picking one up, as these may not last for long.
