The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX

The original Link's Awakening was an odd departure from prior Legend of Zelda games' frameworks. Despite the absence of Hyrule, the Triforce relic, or even the eponymous Zelda herself, the Game Boy title was a critically hailed experience when it was launched in 1993. Fast forward to 1998, when Nintendo launched the DX version of the game to showcase the Game Boy Color.

The DX edition of Link's Awakening, not to be confused with the famed WWE partnership of Triple H and Shawn Michaels, improved the game with completely colorized visuals, distinct adversaries, a unique dungeon, and color-based puzzles. There was even a photographic feature, which allowed for a dozen photos to be produced and printed using the Game Boy Printer. The end result was a delight since one of the finest Zelda games was now even better, and this version was re-released on the Nintendo 3DS for its virtual system over a decade later.

Release date: 1993
