The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 7,700, brand new and sealed on a physical Nintendo Switch game card. Nintendo released The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening on 20 September 2019 as a full remake of the 1993 Game Boy original, rebuilt in a glossy, toy-like art style. It is a one-player action adventure that runs in TV, tabletop and handheld modes and supports amiibo figures. Collect your copy from Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order ahead.
Designed for younger players, parents and anyone who grew up on handheld Nintendo games, The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening handles short play sessions without losing the thread. Link washes up on Koholint Island and must gather eight Instruments of the Sirens to wake the Wind Fish and find a way home. Many large modern games overwhelm a child with menus and a sprawling map. This remake avoids that with a compact island, clear dungeon entrances and in-game hints, so a Grade 6 learner in Eldoret and a parent in Upper Hill can both reach the ending.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops keep only a handful of Switch titles, Mascom International holds The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening sealed, with a receipt and a 6-month warranty. Customers across Nairobi tell us they buy it as a birthday or end-of-term gift, because the art style appeals to children and nostalgic adults alike. At KSh 200 above The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, it trades sheer size for a tighter, gentler adventure. Message us on WhatsApp to order The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening with pay-on-arrival delivery, or drop by Kimathi Street.
Common Questions About The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening
How much is The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening for Nintendo Switch in Kenya?
The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening costs KSh 7,700 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, supplied as a factory-sealed physical Switch game card. For that amount you get the card in its retail case, a 6-month warranty against card defects, and delivery you settle by M-Pesa or cash on arrival. It is KSh 200 more than The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, the larger open-world Zelda we also carry, so the choice comes down to style rather than cost.
Is The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening a remake of the Game Boy game?
Yes, The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening on Switch is a full remake of the 1993 Game Boy adventure, released by Nintendo on 20 September 2019. The story, island layout and dungeons follow the original closely, so longtime fans will recognise the route. Everything is redrawn in 3D with a toy-like finish and a rearranged soundtrack. Nintendo also added Chamber Dungeons, a mode where you arrange rooms from finished dungeons into fresh challenges of your own.
Is The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening a good first game for a young child?
Yes, The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening carries a PEGI 7 rating and makes a strong first adventure for children who read comfortably. Characters speak through on-screen text, so younger children may need a parent to read along at first. Combat is light, with cartoon monsters rather than anything graphic. Puzzles get harder in later dungeons, and the telephone huts around the island give hints whenever a child gets stuck.
Is The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening worth KSh 200 more than The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom?
The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening is worth the extra KSh 200 if you want a focused, guided quest rather than a vast sandbox. Its top-down island is small enough to learn by heart, and each dungeon is shaped around the item you find inside. The larger game offers far more hours, physics-based building and a three-layer map, but asks for patience and is rated for ages 12 and up. Families with children under 12, or adults with little free time, usually get more from the remake.
What are Chamber Dungeons in The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening?
Chamber Dungeons is a bonus mode in The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening, run by the gravekeeper Dampé, where you build dungeons from rooms you have already cleared. You place chambers like tiles, connect doors and stairs, then play through the result to earn prizes. The mode opens up gradually as you progress through the main story. It adds replay value after the ending, and children enjoy designing layouts for brothers and sisters to test.
Can I play The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening on a Switch Lite during a long trip upcountry?
Yes, The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening runs fully in handheld mode, so it works on the Switch Lite as well as the standard and OLED models. It needs no internet, which helps on the SGR Madaraka Express to Mombasa or a road trip where Safaricom signal drops in places. The top-down view and large characters stay easy to follow on a small screen. Charge the console before leaving, and pack a power bank for the return leg.
Does The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening run on Nintendo Switch 2?
Nintendo states that most Nintendo Switch games run on Nintendo Switch 2, and original Switch cards fit the newer console's card slot. Because a handful of older titles behave differently on the newer hardware, ask us on WhatsApp to confirm the current status of The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening before ordering for a Switch 2. On every first-generation model, whether the original Switch, the OLED or the Lite, the card plays with no extra setup.
Who should buy The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening, and who should skip it?
Buy The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening if you want a cheerful, well-paced puzzle adventure for a child, for two people taking turns, or for yourself in short bursts. It also suits adults who played the Game Boy original and want to revisit Koholint. Skip it if you want a huge open world, online play or a gritty plot; The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom or The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Complete Edition fit those tastes better. Shoppers throughout Kenya often choose it as a child's first Zelda.
