The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX GAMEBOY
About The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX is Nintendo’s 1998 Game Boy Color re-release of the original monochrome Link’s Awakening, adding full color support and a new photograph-collecting sidequest that unlocks an exclusive color-only dungeon inaccessible in the original release.
The core adventure — Link shipwrecked on the dreamlike Koholint Island, working through the same item-gated dungeon structure as the console Zelda games — remains unchanged from the 1993 original. Its added dungeon and color presentation make it the more complete version of the game, and it stands alongside the base Link’s Awakening as one of the most acclaimed handheld Zelda entries.
