The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX

Players progress the game by exploring the open world island and completing a series of dungeons, requiring the completion of puzzles and defeating enemies, to acquire new items, such as a hookshot, that provide access to new and previously inaccessible parts of the island. Link's Awakening DX is a version of the game that features fully colorised graphics, although it is backward compatible in monochrome with the original Game Boy . The game includes features compatible with the Game Boy Printer accessory through the addition of a photo album. The player also can visit an in-game Camera Shop, meeting a photographer who will appear to take pictures of Link over the course of twelve events in the game.

Once taken, these pictures can be viewed by the player in the photo album or used to print out stickers using the Game Boy Printer connected via a Game Link Cable . An additional hidden dungeon, named the Color Dungeon, is also included in the game, featuring color-based puzzles including color-coded enemies and switches. Completion of the dungeon allows the player to select one of two items: the Red Tunic, which increases the player's attack power, and the Blue Tunic, which decreases the damage taken by the player. Link's Awakening DX also modifies the hints given by statues in dungeons throughout the game to provide additional guidance to the player.
