Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX hits 3DS Virtual Console

Either late yesterday or early this morning (depending on what time zone you live in) Nintendo 3DS owners were able to update their systems and check out the new eShop.  Sean Colleli posted yesterday about what all you can download now from the eShop, including the Virtual Console games Super Mario Land, Alleyway, and Radar Mission.

After coming home from work today I turned on my 3DS and hit the eShop to see what kind of videos I could download (I had already downloaded Super Mario Land, 3D Classics: Excitebike, and Pokedex 3D prior to work), and then I saw it: Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX.  It costs a bit more than the other VC games ($5.99 I believe), but it is worth it.  If you have a 3DS, and even if you've played the game on the classic Game Boy or Game Boy Color, I highly recommend picking this one up.  It's amazing how much I remember and forget about this game, but it's still a blast to play.  Just goes to show you that a good Legend of Zelda game never dies.
