This is one of the few games that is still worth the premium price Nintendo asks for its virtual console games. There's a lot of play time in this game, and its one to come back to every once in a while to remember the good times when a Zelda game didn’t need trains, boats or other gimmicks to offer a good time.

So it brings great joy to be able to download and play the second best Zelda game of all time. Link’s Awakening is a true highlight for the series, cramming a hell of a lot of invention, dungeon hacking and an entire new world to explore into a single Game Boy Color cartridge (or in this case, tiny download file). This is the game that kicks off the 3DS Virtual Console experience
