'''''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX''''' for [[Game Boy Color]] is a remake of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' with several new additions, most notably the entire game is now in color. It was released just before the release of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. The engines and color palletes in both of the [[Oracle Series|''Oracle'' series]] games are probably based on ''Link's Awakening DX's''.

{{Main|Photo Album}}
In northern [[Ukuku Prairie]] is a [[Camera Shop|Photo Shop]] owned by a [[Photographer|mouse photographer]]. At certain times in the game, the photographer will take a photo of Link and the event. The photo can then be viewed at any time in the [[Photo Album]] within the shop, and the photograph will sometimes fade in seven different colors when viewed. There are a total of 12 photographs, and each can be printed by the [[Game Boy Printer]].

To actually start getting photographs, Link will need to visit the photo shop to get his picture taken. Afterwards, the mouse will give him the photo album. Link will only be able to encounter the other photograph events once he has gotten this photograph and the photo album, else the events would be ignored. The mouse will not take a photo of Link if he has Marin, Madame MeowMeow's Bow-Wow, or the Blue Rooster following him.

One of the other most notable changes in ''Link's Awakening DX'' is the optional, hidden Color Dungeon. Unlike the other dungeons in the game, it is shorter than most and considered to be "very easy" by some. Link can go into the dungeon as soon as he gets the [[Pegasus Boots]] from the third dungeon, [[Key Cavern]]. In the library of [[Mabe Village]], is an unreachable book high on a bookshelf. By dashing into the shelves with the boots, the book will

fall to the floor. The book gives directions on which order to push the gravestones in a certain graveyard of Koholint Island, near where [[Syrup]] the witch's hut is. After moving all of the gravestones in the correct order, the final moved gravestone will reveal the entrance way to the dungeon.


The dungeon has many puzzles that are highly based on colors, therefore the Color Dungeon cannot be entered when playing ''Link's Awakening DX'' on a Game Boy, thus requiring the use of a Game Boy Color.

Because Link only needs the Pegasus Boots from the third dungeon, he will be able to read the book even before getting the third instrument. However it is possible to move the gravestones without the need of the book. Although, a few puzzles requires the need of the [[Power Bracelet]]. One of the mini-bosses also requires the use of a lot of [[Magic Powder]] too.
The reward for clearing this dungeon is not an instrument, but rather Link will meet a [[Great Fairy]] who offers him 'the power of color'. Link can choose from either the [[Blue Tunic]] or the [[Red Tunic]] to wear. The Blue Tunic increases Link's defenses and will lose less hearts than normal when hurt (same as a [[Guardian Acorn]]). The Red Tunic increases Link's attacking power with his sword (much like a [[Piece of Power]], sans speed bonus). Link has the option of clearing the dungeon again to switch between the tunics, but he can never revert back to his [[Green Tunic]].
