Zelda Link’s Awakening DX

“The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX” is an enhanced version of the original game for the Game Boy Color, featuring full color graphics. It is an action-adventure game where players explore Koholint Island from an overhead view, engaging in combat and puzzle-solving within various dungeons. As Link progresses, the dungeons increase in complexity and culminate in battles against “Nightmare” bosses, each more challenging than the last. Defeating these bosses not only advances the story but also grants Link heart containers to increase his survivability and instruments needed to complete his quest.

The game’s plot follows Link, who after the events of “A Link to the Past,” is shipwrecked on Koholint Island due to a storm. Rescued by Marin, the daughter of Tarin, Link learns that he must awaken the Wind Fish, the island’s guardian, with the eight Instruments of the Sirens to return home. Throughout his journey, Link uncovers that Koholint is possibly a dream world created by the Wind Fish. Despite obstacles by nightmarish creatures aiming to control this dream, Link gathers all the instruments. Upon playing the Ballad of the Wind Fish atop Mt. Tamaranch, the Wind Fish awakens, confirming the island’s dreamlike nature, leading to its disappearance. If the player completes the game without losing a life, an additional scene shows Marin transformed, fulfilling her wish to explore beyond the island.

Just Have Fun!
