The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

The Story

The first Zelda not set in Hyrule was started as an unofficial side project by a small team working on Game Boy hardware they weren't supposed to be using. Link's Awakening is set on Koholint Island, which may or may not exist. The ending — which we won't spoil — is the most emotionally resonant conclusion in the Game Boy library and one of the most surprising in the entire Zelda series. It also has a cameo from a Yoshi doll, a Chain Chomp, and a Kirby enemy.
