'''''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX''''' for [[Game Boy Color]] is a remake of {{LA}} with several new additions, the most notable of which being the entire game is now in color. It was released just before {{OOT}}. The engines and color palettes in both of the [[Oracle Series|''Oracle'' series]] games are likely based on ''Link's Awakening DX's''.

'''Moosh''' (ムッシュ, ''Musshu'') is one of three animal companions that Link can find in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'' (the other two are [[Ricky]] and [[Dimitri]]). Moosh is a flying blue bear. Unlike [[Ricky]] and [[Dimitri]], Moosh is capable of hovering in the air to get past long strings of holes. Moosh attacks using the Ground Pound.

Depending on which animal helper Link befriends, the landscape of some areas in either [[Holodrum]] or [[Labrynna]] will change. If Link had Moosh join them, then some areas within these regions will resemble a wasteland-like area filled with many pits that Moosh can fly over.

*The game has been given a color palette.
  +

{{Main list|Camera Shop|The Travels of Link}}
−
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'', Link will eventually have to venture into [[Spool Swamp]] for the next [[Essences of Nature|Essence of Nature]] after completing the [[Snake's Remains]] dungeon. During this time, Link can find and acquire a [[Strange Flute]]. One of the Strange Flutes will be for sale in the [[Horon Village Shop]] for 150 [[Rupee]]s after Link completes the second dungeon, [[Snake's Remains]], yet only before Link helps Ricky the kangaroo. While heading into Spool Swamp, Link will encounter one of the potential animal helpers, Ricky. [[Blaino]], who lives nearby, had taken away Ricky's [[Ricky's Gloves|boxing gloves]], and the game requires that Link goes to Blaino, fight him in a boxing round for a total of 10 rupees, and defeat him to win back the gloves. When the gloves are returned, Ricky will offer to help Link by transporting him to [[Spool Swamp]].
  
  +
In northern [[Ukuku Prairie]] is a [[Camera 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 [[The Travels of Link|photo album]] within the shop, and the photograph will sometimes fade in seven different colors when viewed. There are a total of twelve photographs, and each can be printed by the [[Game Boy Printer]]. The Game Boy Printer function does not work with the Nintendo eShop re-release of the game on the Nintendo 3DS, as the original hardware is not compatible with the console anyway.
   
  +
One of the photographs is taken within the photo shop by asking the photographer to take Link's picture, and he will ask Link several questions if Link wants his photo taken. This photograph actually has an alternate photo. If Link agrees that he wants his photo taken, he will pose with a peace sign. If he answers all of the questions with no, he will be stunned by the camera's flash. There is no way to get both photos in a single game file.
−
If Link buys the Strange Flute from the Horon Village Shop, he will eventually encounter Moosh being attacked by some enemies. After defeating the enemies several times, Moosh will thank the Link and join him, turning the Strange Flute into Moosh's flute.
  
   
  +
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 [[Chain Chomp]], BowWow; or the Blue Rooster following him.
−
Eventually, whether Link has Moosh's Flute or not, Moosh is later encountered on [[Mt. Cucco]], where he has found a bunch of [[Spring Bananas]] growing on a tree on a ledge, but is unable to reach them. When Link acquires the bananas and feeds Moosh, Moosh will then help Link obtain the [[Dragon Key]], required for the [[Dancing Dragon Dungeon]].

===The Color Dungeon===
  +
{{Main|Color Dungeon}}
−
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', Moosh would first make his appearance when Link is supposed to find and obtain the [[Zora's Flippers]] and [[Cheval Rope]]. Link will find Moosh near [[Yoll Graveyard]]'s entrance and exit being attacked by monsters. Once the enemies have been defeated, Moosh will thank Link and offer to help him by flying him to [[Cheval]]'s tombstone, where Link obtains the Flippers and Cheval Rope.
  
  +
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. Link can go into the dungeon as soon as he returns [[Chain Chomp#Link's Awakening|BowWow]] to [[Madam MeowMeow]] after clearing the second dungeon, [[Bottle Grotto]].
   
  +
Although the remake overall is compatible with previous Game Boy models, the dungeon has many puzzles that are highly based on actual colors, therefore the Color Dungeon cannot be entered when playing ''Link's Awakening DX'' on the older models, thus requiring the use of a Game Boy Color.
−
When Link tries to later venture into [[Symmetry Village|Symmetry City]], he will encounter the Faeries from Fairie's Woods, who ask Link to help an animal who got lost in their woods. The animal will either be Moosh, Ricky or Dimitri depending on certain requirements. Moosh would be one of the animals lost if Link doesn't have any of the other Strange Flutes prior to the beginning of this event. If Moosh is found, he will decide to join Link and will give Link his flute.

Moosh makes a brief appearance in the ''Oracle of Seasons'' Manga, appearing to be a slow-witted creature, taking him several moments to realise the area he is in is full of monsters. He helps [[Link]] and Ricky escape from these monsters by flying them away. He also references the Spring Banana he wanted in the game.

Revision as of 14:14, 25 December 2014

Template:GameNav
Template:Game The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX for Game Boy Color is a remake of Link's Awakening with several new additions, the most notable of which being the entire game is now in color. It was released just before Template:OOT. The engines and color palettes in both of the Oracle series games are likely based on Link's Awakening DX's.

The game was also made available on the Nintendo 3DS eShop on June 7, 2011 at the price of $5.99 US.[1]

Link's Awakening DX's Differences

  • The game has been given a color palette.
  • An additional dungeon called the Color Dungeon was added. It was added to take advantage of the Game Boy Color's color screen, but is inaccesible when played on a Game Boy. The reward for completing the dungeon is a tunic that boosts Link's offensive or defensive stats.
  • The photographer and the photo side quest were added.
  • The title screen has been slightly altered, most noticeable being the addition of clouds around the egg.
  • The Eight Instruments of the Siren now fade in seven different colors.
  • The Start menu has been modified to show the different color tunics, if Select is pressed.
  • Additional dialogue has been added, for example upon receiving the L2 Sword.
  • Some areas have had their landscaping changed between the games.
  • This game is censored, e g some dialogues with sexual allusions were changed into harmless ones. Also, Martha the mermaid lost her necklace rather than a bikini.
  • The Stone Slabs were changed into Owl Statues that resemble the game's owl character.
  • The Stone Slab Fragments were also changed into Stone Beaks.
  • The secret ending has been changed. Instead of Marin floating across the screen with wings, she is now seen as a seagull with her image on the screen.
  • The original had an all-green Super Game Boy color palette but no special background. DX has a Super Game Boy background but no special palette.
  • Fade in/out effects are less exaggerated, such as when using a bomb or a dungeon warp.
  • The Genie boss now throws fireballs more slowly.
  • Players can no longer skip all of a character's dialogue by pressing B.
  • The well-known Select screen jump bug no longer works.
  • Additional music was composed by Yuichi Ozaki (who also wrote music for Super Mario Bros. Deluxe).

The Camera Shop

Template:Main list In northern Ukuku Prairie is a Camera Shop owned by a 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 twelve photographs, and each can be printed by the Game Boy Printer. The Game Boy Printer function does not work with the Nintendo eShop re-release of the game on the Nintendo 3DS, as the original hardware is not compatible with the console anyway.

One of the photographs is taken within the photo shop by asking the photographer to take Link's picture, and he will ask Link several questions if Link wants his photo taken. This photograph actually has an alternate photo. If Link agrees that he wants his photo taken, he will pose with a peace sign. If he answers all of the questions with no, he will be stunned by the camera's flash. There is no way to get both photos in a single game file.

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 Chain Chomp, BowWow; or the Blue Rooster following him.

The Color Dungeon

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. Link can go into the dungeon as soon as he returns BowWow to Madam MeowMeow after clearing the second dungeon, Bottle Grotto.

Although the remake overall is compatible with previous Game Boy models, the dungeon has many puzzles that are highly based on actual colors, therefore the Color Dungeon cannot be entered when playing Link's Awakening DX on the older models, thus requiring the use of a Game Boy Color.
