The Legend of Zelda fans, here is something special for you today. A team has just released a native PC version of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX that you can download right now.
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX originally came out on Game Boy Color in 1998. So, this PC version offers a fresh take on the beloved classic, combining the essence of the original with cutting-edge enhancement. It supports high resolutions and framerates. The game will also run better than its original Game Boy Color version.
What’s also amazing here is that this PC version of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX supports widescreen monitors. This can change the way you’ve experienced this classic Zelda game. Not only that, but you can zoom the map all the way out.
Oh, and this isn’t the first free Zelda game we’ve seen on PC. In October, we shared this free 3D remake of The Legend of Zelda NES in Unreal Engine 4. In August 2022, we also shared an unofficial PC port for The Legend of Zelda – A Link to the Past. And then we have the Zelda: Ocarina of Time Demo in Unreal Engine 5.
All in all, this will definitely please a lot of PC gamers that are fans of the Zelda franchise. If you are one of them, you can download this PC version of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX from this link. You can also find a showcase video for this game below. This video can give you an idea of what you can expect from it. So, be sure to watch it.
Have fun!

looks stunning on a widescreen monitor when you leave the hut and out into the overworld.
One day it’ll happen, it’s inevitable. It may take 10 years but it will happen.
Why would they? They’re doing insanely well right now.
The same reason Microsoft and Sony decided to port their exclusives to PC: more money.
they had too because their consoles are sold at a loss and aren’t profitable enough on their own
Their consoles are easy to emulate so i don’t care much.
DMCA’d by (((Nintendo))) in 3…2…1…
nah ocarina of time and mario 64 already pc ports as well.
Too late for that, already got released.
Doesn’t mean they can’t DMCA it after release, same thing happened with SM64PC port.
After the release doesn’t have the same punch. I can still download Metroid 2 Remake regardless of their C&C letter.
There is a flood of Windows handhelds coming out, and game development is getting more accessible by the day.
At some point soon Nintendo is going to be in a similar position as Sega was, Nintendo is losing the hardware exclusivity and will be forced to focus on software.
