Before the Zelda series moved on to make one of the most powerful games ever made, it took a moment to completely redefine portable gaming. Nintendo had already perfected portable gaming when they released the first game boy. Now with the releaseof a Zelda game for the quickly rising portable console you can guess how it was an instant hit. The game featured everything that the Zeldaseries got right and introduced some new original concepts that became a mainstay in the series (for example a rather long trading quest). Links awakening was Nintendo love note to its fans at this point. The game featured several Nintendo cameos including Mario and a pet chain chomp. This game started Links’ absolute domination of any Nintendo portable console and further proved that a Zelda game is a good enough reason to buy a console.
