(A lot of info on this page is unnecessary, right? Shouldn't it just focus on how it's different from LA rather than repeating all of the same information? I'd also like to know if these categories are the right ones...) |

The | '''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX''' is a [[Game Boy Color|color]] remake of the [[Nintendo Gameboy]] game ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]''. [[Link]] is caught in a storm at sea and becomes shipwrecked. Awaking on the mysterious island of [[Koholint Island|Koholint]], he discovers the only way to leave the island is to wake the [[Wind Fish]], a creature which sleeps endlessly until the [[Eight Instruments of the Sirens]] are played in front of the [[Wind Fish's Egg|egg]] in which it sleeps. | ||
The game | 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]]''. | This game had many firsts for the Zelda series.

It also had the first [[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. | ||

After a shipwreck, Link finds himself lying on the beach of Koholint island, a strange land which lies in the shadow of a great egg which lies in the island mountain range known as Tal Tal Heights. A local of the island's village, named Marin, discovers link and takes him to her house. When he awakes, another local man, named Tarin, gives Link his shield back. Using this, Link returns to the beach and recovers his sword. It is here he comes into contact an owl (who greatly resembles Kaepora Gaebora from Ocarina of time, the game following Link's Awakening) who shall act as his guide on the Island. With sword in hand, Link makes his way to the mysterious forest to find the Tail Key. | After a shipwreck, Link finds himself lying on the beach of Koholint island, a strange land which lies in the shadow of a great egg which lies in the island mountain range known as Tal Tal Heights.

With all 8 instruments, Link travels to Tal Tal Heights to wake the Wind Fish. Playing the song taught to him by Marin, the egg cracks open, revealing a maze like structure inside. Using a path which he found at the library in Mabe Village, Link reaches the Nightmare's lair. In truth, these nightmares have forced the Wind Fish to sleep forever, as they have complete control over the land. A battle ensues, with the shadowy entity changing forms many times. A number of these resemble enemies from previous Zelda games, such as Agahnim and Ganon. the fight culminates with the shape of dethl- a two-armed, one eyed monster. With this final form defeated, a staircase appears, leading Link to the wind Fish. | With all 8 instruments, Link travels to Tal Tal Heights to wake the Wind Fish.
