Actually, is it underrated or underappreciated?

I know most people haven't played it, but of those who have I've never heard anyone say it's a bad game.

I say it's underrated because I think it's a Top 5 Zelda game. Possibly Top 3.

I'm not sure underrated applies here. Maybe most overlooked? Anyone who has played it considers it to be one of the best, if not the best, 2D Zeldas. The only complaining I've ever seen about LA was that not enough people have played it, and that it should have been released on a console.

No way is it underrated or underappreciated.

I think it was a good game, but A Link to the Past and both Oracle games are much better. I'd probably rank all of the 3D Zeldas higher than it as well.

I just could not get drawn into Koholint the way I got drawn into Labrynna and Holodrum.

I'm saying it's underrated because people never talk about it when they talk about the greatest Zelda games

Koholint is more straight-forward adventure based while the Oracle games are more puzzle and kinda fetch quest based.

Nah fam

Oracle of Ages/Seasons are the most underrated

I hear people talk about Links Awakening more often

Notice that Hyrule Warriors got a Koholint map, and a LA character, but the Oracles got no representation at all

This. It also started the trend of side stories inside of a dungeon. Level 7 had you fight that mini boss' bats or something and then the mini boss teamed up with dungeon boss.

That was probably the only weak dungeon in the game, and that's including the side quest between main level ones.

The dungeons were fairly decent but the bosses were a joke.

The Gameboy hardware limitations held it back too much.

The Oracle Zelda games gave us great boss battles though, dungeon rooms that actually roamed

When I was a kid I lost my cartridge for the original Links Awakening. Found it years later in my Uncles couch after a flood from a hurricane. Lost it again somehow and then one of my ex's brothers owned a DX copy and I stole it from him lol. Still have it now, I think...

Its well known for being awesome in the Zelda community. I do think the Oracle games are better but it stacks up to any 2d Zelda game as far as being a fun play. I do think that it stood out a lot better as a GBC rerelease though...and if you could play it on a game boy player or backlit advance sp - that helped a ton. If you had to play it on the original Game Boy, obviously it didnt look nearly as good.

Oracle of Ages in particular is underrated for being a bitch to play if you dont have a guide.

Where did you give up?

I don't remember, it was like almost 20 years ago, I was a kid. I played it multiple times but always got stumped on where to go next after a few dungeons, I think.

3 worst puzzles in link's awakening

That pols voice then stalfos or whatever puzzle. Gotta actually know the names of the enemies to get past it. That was in level 2.

The entirety of the level 7 pillar destruction puzzle.

River ride since you needed like 3 rides for all items

If you think it's the third best Zelda game, you should consider it overrated then.
