The Legend of Zelda - Link's Awakening is a classic Game Boy Zelda adventure. Link must travel across the dream world of Koholint Island, collecting the 8 Instruments to wake the Wind Fish and go home after a terrible shipwreck.

This movie here completes the game in a time quite a bit shorter than what the creators probably originally intended — a warping glitch is used to skip almost everything in the game.

This movie is about 21.7 seconds faster than the previous version by a different author.

If you liked this, be sure to also check out the Game Boy Color version (DX), which completes all the dungeons.
