Anniversary: Zelda: Link's Awakening Is 30 Years Old Today

Thirty years ago today, Link embarked on one of his most beloved adventures yet – a quest that was made all the more remarkable for the fact that it took place on the monochrome-screened Game Boy. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening hit Japanese stores on June 6th, 1993 (North America and Europe had to wait until August and December, respectively), following in the footsteps of Zelda: A Link to the Past on the SNES. The Game Boy title took many visual cues from its home console sibling, but was notable for some significant changes, too; it doesn't take place in Hyrule, for starters, and doesn't feature Zelda at all.
