The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX is a 1998 video game developed by Nintendo for the Game Boy Color. The game is a colorized version of the 1993 Game Boy video game The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, with gameplay additions including an additional color-themed dungeon and support for the Game Boy Printer. A version of the game for the 3DS with additional enhancements, including analog controls and save states, was released on the Nintendo 3DS eShop in 2011. Upon release, Link's Awakening DX received positive reviews, with critics commending the game on the strengths of the original title and welcoming the addition of color graphics and new features, although noting the additions were largely insubstantial compared to the original game. The DX version of Link's Awakening has retrospectively been cited by critics as one of the best games for the Game Boy system and Game Boy Color.
