The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX is a 1998 action-adventure game developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Color. It is an updated re-release of the 1993 Game Boy game The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, the fourth main entry in the The Legend of Zelda franchise. A sequel to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, featuring the same Link from that game, it differs from prior games in the series by not including Princess Zelda or the Triforce, and does not even take place in Hyrule. Instead, the setting is Koholint Island, where Link has been stranded, and can only escape by finding eight musical instruments to wake up the sleeping Wind Fish that guards the island. The game was played by C/J on The D-Pad in 2014, in an 100% speedrun attempt, as the seventh weekday game and thirteenth overall game in The Legendary Let's Play. The LP consisted of 23 episodes, released on weekdays from June 11 to July 11, 2014. A bonus episode featuring the entirety of the speedrun was released on July 15, 2014.

The game was revisited on The D-Pad by Rick in another 100% speedrun attempt in 2021, as the second game in The D-Pad 10th Anniversary Marathon Stream. The episode was streamed live on the dpadfm Twitch account before being uploaded to YouTube on April 7, 2021.
