The '''Village Library''' is a location in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''. Found on the west side of [[Mabe Village]], it holds a number of books available to read. Most of the books explain basic game controls or offer advice. However, there are two books of importance to Link's quest. The first, which is found only in the [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|DX Game Boy Color port]] and [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Nintendo Switch remake]], reveals the location of the [[Color Dungeon]]. The other one can only be read after obtaining the [[Magnifying Lens]]. This book reveals the secret of how to traverse the pathway to the final boss of the game.

Most of these books are really just for beginners starting out in the game, but the one [[Link]]'ll want to read is that last one on the list. Link can't read it right away though, he needs the [[Magnifying Lens]] first. It contains a series of arrows pointing in different directions, and this is the way Link must go once he gets inside the [[Wind Fish's Egg]]. So Link basically needs to read this book to finish the game, unless he gets really lucky. Also, the arrow pattern changes from game to game, so Link must rememeber it.
====Dark Secrets and Mysteries of Koholint====
{{main|Dark Secrets and Mysteries of Koholint}}
{{Quote|{{Dump|LA|503}}|Dark Secrets and Mysteries of Koholint (1993 edition)}}
This book is found in the bottom left-hand corner and is the only one that is necessary to the storyline. When Link first attempts to read it, the book is written in print that is too tiny to read.{{Ref|LA|494-495|N/A}} However, once he obtains the [[Magnifying Lens]] from the [[Link's Awakening Trading Sequence|Trading Sequence]], he finds a series of arrows pointing in directions. There are three possibilities:
 
Option One:
🡄🡄🡅🡆🡆🡅🡄🡅
 
Option Two:
🡆🡅🡅🡆🡅🡅🡆🡅
 
Option Three:
🡄🡅🡆🡅🡄🡅🡆🡅
 
These arrows are the directions to successfully navigate the [[Wind Fish's Egg]] to meet with [[Shadow Nightmares|The Shadow Nightmares]].
 
====Color Dungeon Book====
{{main|The Hidden Power of Color}}
{{Quote|{{Dump|LADX|26}}|Color Dungeon Book (1998 edition)}}
Introduced in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|Link's Awakening DX]]'', this book did not have a title{{Ref|LADX|25|N/A}} until the [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Nintendo Switch remake]].
 
It is found on top of the shelves at the back of the room. In order to get it down, Link must run into the shelves with the [[Pegasus Boots]], which knocks down the book and allows him to read it. Similar to the ''Dark Secrets and Mysteries of Koholint'' book, it contains a series of arrows. However, these ones are always the same, and they describe the order and direction that Link should push the graves in the [[Cemetery]] to open the entrance to the [[Color Dungeon]].
