Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda

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.

I never played Zelda in my life and I want to start from the beginning. So I’m hooked now and well only for this type of game style. Perfect gift idea! Pocket size and good quality. Also look up this product on YouTube and you’ll learn a lot about this product! Worth every penny!! Only downside is the charger is cable is small but I can live with that!

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

Loved the idea that my Grandson could have some fun playing in the car trip to see me and back home. Bummer that it quickly broke before he could get to even the first level. Would have loved sturdy buttons that did not break.

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.

Definitely buy

Excellent product, the fastest delivery and it fits perfectly in my collection. Thanks!

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.

Great for rlad trips, waiting at the bank or car wash. I have the mario one as well. Me and my kids love them. Great color, sound and rechargeable. Batteries last a long time.

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.
