Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda

For the price, this is the best purchase I made! I love Zelda and this little guy allows me to play anywhere!! Not slow, great graphics, exactly like the original game. I’m obsessed

My grandson requested this for his birthday! He loved it!!!❤️

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.

This includes: -The Game and Watch -A paper stand. -A short USB Charging cable with no charging block. The device is smaller than I expected. The Stand looks nicer and is sturdier than Id expect for paper/cardstock, but I wish it was metal or plastic. The Device feels a little like the original Nintendo Controller to the hand. The screen looks fantastic. Theres 1 charge port for USB C, and a power button on the side. Once the device is powered, you have a few options: -Clock -Games -Settings. Clock: The clock displays scenes from the original Zelda, with Link (the main character) running around killing enemies. You can use the D pad and a or b button to take control of Link on this screen, which otherwise displays the time. Game: The first 3 8-bit Zelda games are included here, including their Japanese and English release versions ( (a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one). Zelda 2s English and American releases have some interesting difference, and this is a great way to re-experience the game with some different mechanics and graphics. Each game is the original release, so Links Awakening is the monocrome/grey colors, and not like the Gameboy Color or Advance. Each game has 3 save slots, just like the originals. The Japanese/English versions of each game count as different games- so if you save your game in the English version, you cannot restore and resume it in the japanese version of the same game. Theres a Zelda Watch mini game, where you hit moles with a hammer by moving left or right. Finally, there is a timed challenge. You select a stage (determines background and the enemies that spawn), an a duration (1 to 16 minutes). You then play as Link from Zelda 2 and kill as many respawning monsters as possible before time runs out. High score is retained. Settings: The settings adjust sounds or visual settings, or set the clock. Note, each game/screen has its own volume level. I loved this, as I found the ticking sound of the clock to be annoying, and was able to mute it, without having to unmute when I play the games and want to hear the games music. Battery: The battery lasts for several hours of game play, and charges fairly quickly. The problem is, in watch mode, you also get only a few hours. I was hoping to use this as my rooms clock, but it needs to stay on a charger or dies, and the cable it came with isnt really designed for that sort of setup. Final thoughts: Overall, Im super happy with it. It looks better and does more than I expected. I wish there was a low battery use version that could run it as a clock for long term. Pros: 3 original Zeldas, English and Japanese Versions. 2 Mini Games 1 Cool looking clock with a nice looking stand. Options are linked to the clocks or games, so you can adjust them each differently. Cons: Stand is card stock Battery doesnt last long enough for this to be a useful display clock. Charger is very short in length, and has no charge block.

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

Great little game system to pass the time

I got this as a gift for my girlfriend. She has been a huge Zelda fan since she was a kid. She wont put this down. Shell go outside and play for a few hours. She absolutely love it. Her friend want one now as well. And it has the first 3 games and some small time waster games. This is her favorite present Ive bought her. Next Im gonna get her the Mario Bros unit.

Its a classic I love Zelda

A bit smaller than I thought but still awesome

Definitely buy
