The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX (Game Boy Color)

The booklet wasn't in quite as good condition as I expected, but it was still complete and worked just great. Fast shipping, too.

I loved this game. I started playing it the second i got it and it was excellent. I liked it over the normal version (the not DX version) because of the ability to change your clothes' color and get better stats with it. I had never played this game before, but I had always been fond of seasons and ages, which are similar gameplay. This game is a top score, and I also bought a copy for my friend's birthday, and he loved it! I beat it before him. Haha!

Although there is but one mode in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX, there's certainly not a shortage of places to go, people to meet, or things to do. Oh no, there's a much different tune to be sung the second after you wrap your thumbs around the buttons of your Game Boy with this sucker in the slot. The moment you enter the solitary island of Koholint, you'll come to grips with just how humongous this portable adventure really is, and with dozens of characters and places to interact with, Zelda DX has a lot to boast.

A long story short, you're the notorious hero Link who has set off on a personal voyage far away from home. During a dark storm, your ship is destroyed by a blast of lightning, and you fall unconscious -- until you wake up under the care of Marin and Tarin, who point you in the right direction to begin what may be the most engrossing adventure yet! Full of dark enemies, musical instruments, mysterious motives, and a sleeping fish, Zelda DX is gaming at its best, and is liable to keep you addicted until you answer the Wind Fish's ultimate riddle.

Everything from the original version is here -- there's neither a place nor object missing. In fact, the new DX edition has a bit more added. In addition to the normal amount of dungeons, you'll be able to seek out and enter a special hidden one which, although short, gives veteran players seeking a new experience somewhat of what they're asking for. And since it's tailored specifically for the Game Boy Color and its newer hardware (it cannot be accessed without it), it definitely adds a bit more value to an old classic, especially since you receive a set of blue or red armor upon the dungeon's completion.

The newly revamped Game Boy Color mode fits the restraints well, and bring to life what once dwelled in the realm of black and white. Throughout the color-enhanced version of Zelda DX, it can easily be inferred that Nintendo has reworked its magic to fit new standards. Now that it looks much more like its original NES counterpart than ever before, Miyamoto's masterpiece holds water on an all-new ground, and it certainly shows. A splash of color goes a long way, and there's little to be said otherwise.

As for the other extras in the fourth Legend of Zelda, there are several. The most noticeable of the bunch would have to be the Game Boy Printer compatibility, which is certainly an interesting addition. During many parts of the adventure, which aren't always easy to discover, your picture will be taken and stored in the Koholint photo shop, where you can drop by whenever you wish to view your picture collection. And if you've got the compatible printer, you can make stickers from whatever photographs have been taken. The true challenge of this, however, is to find all the places where you get your picture taken. If you can find every single last one of them without aid from a player's guide, you'll be a true Zelda Master indeed.

I got the game quickly. The game was used, so I know what I was getting to. The game started funny at first, but it is used. It did start working fine after messing with it. I was happy with this classic zelda

It was a Christmas gift for my son and he was very happy with it. He says it is in great condition. I received it in a good amount of time.

Links Awakening is a great game for any Zelda fan, though it is slightly different like in any Zelda game. I had played this game before about 3 or so years back, but I remembered some of the extra funnies (like the kids thinking Link has a girlfriend or taking a Bow-wow for a 'walk') and things I never got to complete in the game. I love it for the game play, puzzles, and jokes. If you can find it for a good deal, it is well worth your time!

As a Zelda fan I could not go wrong by purchasing this game. Great puzzles and missions, great variety of hard missions and simple ones, all make you think and use that resourceful side of ourselves we don't usually get to play with.

Like many of the other reviewers, "Link's Awakening" holds a lot of nostalgic value for me. The game came out when I was in middle school and I've loved it ever since.

Though "Link's Awakening" follows the same formula as other Zelda games, it is also responsible for several of the series' evolutions. Among them is the trading system, where players can trade seemingly useless items between NPCs for something better and, eventually, a big payoff.

"Link's Awakening" also has a great story, that will likely envelop anyone who plays it.

This game came out when i was 9-10 and at that time i just couldent beat it so i ended up lossing the game for another 7 years. Then i rembered the One game i never beat. This game is a old school game and yet it has a new school feel. Its a challenge and it gives you your daily dose of gaming material. This game is easy to just pick up and its fun. Ide compare this to the old A Link To The Past in game play. There almost the same game just in diffrent times. Still great game

The Legend Of Zelda is an AWESOME game, its a game that being out like forever, favorite amount kids.But this time mom bought it for herself as iam a fan of The Legend of Zelda game and the price was very good.I will recomend the game to others, and invite them to try others Legend of Zelda games.

I bought this game to complete my collection of zelda games. I loved all of the characters, many from other zelda titles. It is a lot of fun trying to find your way to the next level, and complete all of the trading that goes on. It is a great game for all ages. The only thing that I didn't like about this game was how short it was. The dungeons were small compared to the newer zelda games. Other than that I loved it.

An over all great game, detailed and always interesting.There is always something to do in this game you will never get bored. This game is challenging enough to still be fun for older players while easy enough for most younger players. If you enjoy adventure games like this one then you will definately enjoy the rest of the "Legend of Zelda" series.
