'''''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 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 Link's preference.
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.

The Wind Fish resembles a giant whale with a pair of small wings on his back. The Wind Fish awakens, along with Link who was also asleep. The island of Koholint fades from the horizon and the picture returns to Link, drifting along on a piece of driftwood.

A new dungeon, including several enemies, puzzles, bosses, and two rewards, were added to take advantage of the new colored graphics. Many of the puzzles require identifying colors in order to progress. At the end of the dungeon, Link meets the [[Fairy Queen#Link's Awakening|Fairy Queen]], who offers him the "power of color": a [[Red Tunic]] for increased offense or a [[Blue Tunic]] for increased defense.

===Photographs===
*[[Moldorm]]

*[[Genie]]
*[[Dodongo Snakes]]
*[[Slime Eyes]]
*[[Desert Lanmola]]

When Link visits the [[Seashell Mansion]], a voice will speak to him in the DX version to give him a hint about the purpose of the building. This voice was not present in the original game.


{{Main|Hippo}}
===Marin Ending===
In the original ''Link's Awakening'', if the player successfully completes the game without any deaths, [[Marin]] flies across the screen with wings. However, in ''Link's Awakening DX'', a picture of Marin's face is shown in the sky. It slowly fades away, revealing a seagull.


The [[Hippo]] in Link's Awakening was different because, not only is it in all black and white, it appeared to have breasts above its towel because it was a nude model for Schule. However, in Link's Awakening DX and the English version, the Hippo's breasts and towel were removed, explaining Hippo's shriek of "Get out!"
