The one key difference from the original aside from coloring all of the game was the inclusion of the [[Color Dungeon]], which gave Link upgraded damage or defense depending on the player's preference.

This game had many firsts for the Zelda series. This was the first game set outside of the mystical land of Hyrule. This was also the first game, with a top down perspective, with Link being able to jump By utilizing the [[Roc's Feather]], an item found in-game, Link was able to jump a short distance. However, by also using the [[Pegasus Boots]], another item found in-game, Links jumping distance was increased threefold. It was thanks to the Roc's Feather that ''Link's Awakening'' had side scrolling sections similar to ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]''. It also had the first [[Link's Awakening Trading Sequence|Trading Sequence]], which is now a staple in the Zelda series. This was a mandatory quest which needed to be completed at some point to beat the game. Finally, it was the first handheld Zelda game.
