'''''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX''''' is a [[Game Boy Color|color]] remake of the [[Game Boy]] 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 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.  

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.  

In the original game, [[Stone Slab]]s could be found all over [[Koholint Island]] that had to be completed with a [[Stone Slab Fragment]]. However, in the DX remake, these slabs were replaced with [[Owl Statue]]s and [[Stone Beak]]s.
