Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda

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.

I loved playing the original Link’s Awakening on this system. It’s a little pricey but worth it. The clock feature and the first three Zelda games I can’t get on the Nintendo DS store make it a perfect gift for fans. The system sturdy but the cardboard stand it came with is cheap. I got one for myself and my nerdy brother.

Its a great piece for someone that is a fan, and a collector, it has the first 3 games of the Zelda franchise built in with a clock and timer mode, I feel the screen is too small to enjoy for long periods of time and it is small for larger hands, it is a lot of money for not much, if you are looking to play these games, there are better ways to do so. So this is sitting on my shelf with other collectables

Pros: -The games are the full, amazing original versions. They play perfectly. -The Game & Watch itself looks good and feels sturdy. -The box it came in looks good. Cons -It didnt come with a USB cable. Im reading other peoples reviews, and it seems like some peoples Game & Watches came with USB cables, and some didnt. Im one of the unlucky ones. I dont understand why someone would sell an electronic device with no way of providing electricity to the device included. -The display stand is just cheap, flimsy cardboard. The image made it seem like it would at least be sturdier cardboard if not plastic. Its not. Its barely able to maintain its shape and stand upright while holding the Game & Watch. -The clock mode always has a game being auto-played behind it. Its distracting, and I wish there was an option to just switch to a black screen behind the clock numbers.

as good as expected

It’s really small, a lot smaller than I expected.

Exactly what they advertise

I loved Zelda as a kid, so thought this would be a fun item. It does play the game, but have mainly used it as a handy little clock on the kitchen table.

Game & Watch The Legend of Zelda is a treat. Its worth the money. It has extra features such as the Japanese versions of The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II The Adventure of Link, Links Awakening and the game Vermin. In The Legend of Zelda, a boy named Link must explore Hyrule and save Princess Zelda from Gannon(the archvillain with pig-like features). The Legend of Zelda spawned a DIC cartoon that aired every Friday afternoon on TV. Excuse me, Princess! was a catchphrase in the late 1980s. Kids down the street told me that Link and Zelda are going to appear on Captain N The Game Master. Zelda II The Adventure of Link was a very hard video game that I never beat. Clips of it were shown on the ABC TV show 20/20 in 1988. Kids are nuts for Nintendo. Koji Kondos Zelda music is just as good as the video game. Kondo listened to Deep Purples April in school. In the days before the Internet/Wi-Fi Bluetooth, my friends read Nintendo Power magazines and GamePro for game tips. My friend owned Breakthru, a rare Data East video game made in 1986. Game & Watch The Legend of Zelda is another neat toy worth buying up.

I bought this for my husband and he absolutely loves it. It’s nostalgic to him, and takes him back to his childhood playing Nintendo. I recommend it completely!
