Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda

This was a little expensive, but well worth the cost in return for the joy it brings my nephew. And I remember all these games, so some day maybe we can both talk about them.

If youre buying this you or whoever youre buying for is a Zelda fan, so you probably dont need to be told anything about the game play. Just be aware this is the European version of the clock/game. The only difference, as far as I can tell, is the outer packaging and the UK English spelling of color.

I am not able to do very much in this game yet. It seems to be vey basic. well see what happens. It may be because Im not spending as much time with this game. Not bad, but basic.

This is an amazing product for modern day Nintendo. It has a great build quality, a really nice feeling dpad and buttons. And an unparalleled battery life. I’ve charged this thing once in the past 2 weeks I’ve had it. It’s great for portability as it pauses the game when you press the power button. It’s super easy to just whip out when you are waiting for something. It survives low temperatures at the bus stop very well.

Bought for my kids on an airplane ride. When it arrived I thought, whoa, it’s so tiny! But the graphics are such high quality that it doesn’t matter (easy to see) and the small size is a bonus for travel. Same game I played as a kid. I’m going to get the Mario one for travel.

Besides the nice packaging I first noticed the weight of the product. Very light. Fits in pocket. Plenty of games. 4 total. Responsive buttons. Plays and sounds just like the originals (because they are). I opened this one but I plan on buying the Mario edition and keeping that one in the original packaging.

I have long liked the original Zelda game, although funny enough I never had an NES, so have only ever played it as ports to other systems, and have always enjoyed it. To find not only the original Zelda, but the next 2 all in the Game n Watch format, is a real treat! The game plays exactly like the original, but now you can carry it around in your pocket to play anytime you have some spare time.

as good as expected

Exactly what they advertise

If you enjoy the original Legend of Zelda or its 8-bit successors (Zelda 2 and Link’s Awakening in original monochrome) this is a really handy toy to have around when you have time to kill. I recommend getting a little pouch for it, I use one that came with a power bank. The battery lasts ages, the screen is great, and the controls- albeit not perfect- are an excellent fit for the games.
