Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda

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.

The order was delivered quickly as promised. My son is thrilled to have this collectors item.

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.

This is great! I had no idea Nintendo made these until I started looking up the originals. Not only do you get the original Legend of Zelda, Adventure of Link, and Links Awakening, but you also get a Game & Watch classic, Vermin! Though this does make me biased, Vermin has always been my favorite from the G&W series--I played it religiously in Game & Watch Gallery 2 for the Game Boy. I also love the clock and timer features which are stylistically displayed as the LoZ and AoL games respectively (you can even play on them!). Quality is great. The device is very lightweight, but doesnt feel like a cheap piece of plastic. The golden front is made of metal. Its very small, but even with my long fingers its still comfortable. I will note, however, that if you have particularly *thick* fingers, the buttons (d-pad especially) will like be difficult to control. My only cons are that the display case is really just the black cardboard packaging material (see photo) and that the included USB-C cable is very short. Overall though, still a 10/10. Others say its too expensive, but as my review title says, I think its completely worth it. I really hope they make more of these; a Donkey Kong version with the clam-shell dual screens (like the original) would be totally awesome, or perhaps a Pokemon or Metroid edition.

Exactly what they advertise

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

Smaller than Id have expected and the stand is a joke. Should have been <$20

My brother grew up playing this game and absolutely loves this! Just reminding him of his childhood!
