 '''''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX''''' is an enhanced [[Game Boy Color]] port of the [[Game Boy]] game ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]''. [[Link (A Link to the Past)#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 is completely updated with colored graphics, although the gameplay and story remain mostly the same. A few features were added, however, including a new [[Color Dungeon|dungeon]] that takes advantage of the color and a [[Photographer]] that takes [[Link's Awakening Photographs|pictures]] throughout Link's adventure.

-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.
+This version of the game was rereleased on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] Virtual Console in 2011, and as part of the [[Nintendo Switch]] subscription service Switch Online in 2023.
