Link's Awakening DX is a souped-up, colour version of the original
Link's Awakening which first entertained gamers in 1993. Link,
Nintendo's famous Hyrulian hero, finds himself on a mysterious island
after a shipwreck leaves him stranded.
You must help Link escape from Koholint Island by finding the eight
instruments of the Sirens and awakening the omnipotent Wind Fish who
rules the island. This is no easy task, because you'll be challenged
with brain-bursting puzzles, barbaric bosses, and dark dungeons along
the way.
When Link's Awakening was first released in 1993, it proved to the world
that portable games could be just as deep and engrossing as games
designed for home consoles. With the introduction of Game Boy Color the
improved graphics provide a visual experience to match the addictive
game play.
Link's Awakening DX offers Zelda fans more than just turbo-charged
graphics. Hidden somewhere on the mystical island is a brand new dungeon
that has never been seen before in any Zelda game. The dungeon takes
advantage of Game Boy Color's capabilities to deliver complex puzzles
based on colour. This dungeon is hidden well, so even the most
experienced explorers may have a hard time discovering its location.
Another addition to Link's Awakening DX is a photo album feature. As you
progress throughout the game, you can collect interesting photos of the
Koholint landscape. You can then view your pictures in a new camera
shop, and then turn them into stickers using Game Boy Printer.
