****************************************************************************

Opening Snide Remarks: I thought that a Zelda game on the Game Boy would be a
great idea.  Link's Awakening is long thought to be a classic, but what do I
think about it? 

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Descripion: Link's Awakening plays much like the other Zelda games.
You explore, then fight, then explore some more.  Just don't expect Zelda: 
The Ocarina of Time on your Game Boy.   
Liked: Tough game to beat.
Hated: Tough game to beat.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: Link's Awakening has some great graphics for an older
Gameboy game.  They actually do stand up pretty well to newer games.
Liked: Large Bosses.
Hated: Repetitive Backgrounds.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: Link's Awakening has some sweet tunes and some great 
sound fx.
Liked: Excellent Music.
Hated: The Low-Health Sound Effect.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: Link's Awakening controls like a dream.  The 
control scheme is set up so that you can do many things, but it's not too 
complicated.  The game design is excellent, as well.
Liked: Perfect Controls.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Improve: Add an easier difficulty setting. 

RIYL: Any other Zelda game, Wild Arms (PS)

****************************************************************************

Final Words: Link's Awakening is a classic.  When I bought this game a year 
ago I was amazed, but now I don't seem to love it as much.  I can only help
but wonder if it's because I am spoiled from playing Zelda: The Ocarina of 
Time.
