Description

The Legend Of Zelda Links Awakening Game Boy

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is a 1993 action-adventure game developed and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy. It is the fourth instalment in the Legend of Zelda series and the first for a handheld game console. Link’s Awakening is one of the few Zelda games not to take place in the land of Hyrule, and does not feature Princess Zelda or the Triforce relic.

Instead, protagonist Link begins the game stranded on Koholint Island, a place guarded by a whale-like deity called the Wind Fish. Assuming the role of Link, the player fights monsters and solves puzzles while searching for eight musical instruments that will awaken the sleeping Wind Fish and allow him to escape from the island.

Like most games in The Legend of Zelda series, Link’s Awakening is an action-adventure game focused on exploration and combat. The majority of the game takes place from an overhead perspective. The player traverses the overworld of Koholint Island while fighting monsters and exploring underground dungeons. Dungeons steadily become larger and more difficult, and feature “Nightmare” boss characters that the player must defeat, taking different forms in each dungeon, and getting harder to defeat each time.

Success earns the player heart containers, which increase the amount of damage the player character can survive; when all of the player’s heart containers have been emptied, the game restarts at the last doorway entered by the character. Defeating a Nightmare also earns the player one of the eight instruments necessary to complete the game.
