HOORAY! I got Link's Awakening... OLD SCHOOL

[Margar]

Yeah, they had Link's awakening at the Exchange for $8 and I couldn't pass it up. although I'd rather have LA DX, The game is cool either way
I have to finish Oracle of Ages first...

I can't wait!

I'm suprized the cart still works too, although it looks like hell!
isn't there another dungeon in DX? what else is different?

[Daphnes]

DX has color, and a minidungeon where you can get a red or blue tunis. The red tunis increases your sword's power, and the blue tunic increases your defense against attacks.

Those are the main differences, though there may be a few others.

The difference, my friend, is that one is deluxe. And one is not. I'm on the second dungeon in mine.

well, I'm really glad I got my SP back after over a year so I can play my oracles and now LA! I really like the SP as a handheld system... (of course the DS is better, but doesn't play gameboy games)

[DK]

Daphnes pretty much covered the differences, but an extra dungeon on such a great game is not to be sniffed at!

I actually just picked up an SP myself this weekend, even though I have a DS Lite. I misplaced my original GBA a few years ago, and I've wanted to get another purely for Gamecube link-up (which I thought maybe you could do with a DS). I got lucky and picked up the special edition Mario SP, for a criminally low price! Plus, Game Boy Color games with a backlight! Decent!

LA DX was not only my first Zelda ever, it was my first video game ever, period. IMO nothing beats this game. Enjoy it. ^_^

Sweetness !
I hope you enjoy the game
You'll get hooked on it.

I've actually played LA DX. I borrowed it from a friend about 7 years ago and played it and loved it. that's why I'm excited to finally have a copy, even if it IS only the old school regular one, it'll still be fun. and the Ballad of the Windfish is my favorite song from any Zelda game

[Xade]

Man your lucky, it's a awsome game. Got mine a couple of years ago for only about 6-7 dollars (but in swedish money tho) and it's one of the best games for GB ever!
