While the first game shows its age and the second NES title has divided critics since release, they're still worth a play if you're a seasoned fan of the modern-day Zeldas. Emulation is, as you might expect, perfect, although the screen does have a certain softness that makes the visuals look a bit smeared (again, this is something that was equally true of the Super Mario version).īetween the three Zelda games included here, there are many hours of enjoyment to be had, which arguably makes Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda a much better proposition in terms of value than last year's Super Mario-based offering. Other options include the ability to alter the screen brightness and volume, as well as toggle between full-screen and 1:1 aspect ratios on Link's Awakening. It even picks up where you left off if you switch to another game on the unit, which is nice. Left to its own devices, this clock will automatically show Link battling a series of enemies from the game, but you can pick up the unit at any point and take control of the Hero of Time yourself.Īs was the case with Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros., you can freeze the game at any time, which is handy for when you're out and about and aren't in a position to save your progress in the game itself. There's also an interactive clock that is based on the overworld of the original Legend of Zelda. There's also a special 'timer' mode which allows you to set a time limit between a minute and 10 minutes and beat as many enemies from Zelda II as possible, with the unit keeping track of your best performance at each time setting. In addition to these three games, there's a reimagined version of the 1980 Game & Watch title Vermin, with Link in the starring role. As well as the original Legend of Zelda and its (often divisive) NES sequel Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, you get the 1993 Game Boy outing Zelda: Link's Awakening, the same game which was recently remastered on the Nintendo Switch. On that score, Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda is a slight improvement. When we reviewed Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros., we were slightly disappointed that Nintendo hadn't included more games on the device. There's also no kickstand (again), but at least this time Nintendo has been kind enough to see that the packaging's internal cardboard tray can be turned into a rather fetching display stand. ![]() The rechargeable internal battery is good for around 8 hours of play (that's with brightness and volume levels kept low) and is charged using the bundled USB-C cable. The D-Pad feels great, the rubber buttons are responsive and it's reasonably comfortable to use, although the controls still feel like they're positioned a little too close to the bottom of the device, which can lead to some mild discomfort if you're playing for prolonged periods.
