In the North American version the sprite was redrawn without breasts or towel. In the North American version the item that the mermaid has lost was also changed from bikini top to necklace. There are other minor differences, too, see source for details.***[b]Easter eggs[/b]: when entering [i]ZELDA[/i] as the protagonist's name (ぜるだ in the Japanese Version), a version of Zelda's theme starts playing. Another tune is also available in some versions of the game. It is accessed by entering the name とたけけ in the Japanese version, [i]LOLO[/i] in the French version and [i]MOYSE[/i] (the last name of the translator) in the German version. It is not possible to hear this song in the US version.***Link's Awakening was the first game in the Legend of Zelda series that had * a trade sequence, * a fishing mini-game, * individual music for each dungeon. It was also the first game that took place outside of Hyrule.*** [32]*** [29]*** [27]***This is the first Zelda game to feature humans. Though their presence in the Zelda universe was implied in the Manual for Link to the Past. [Zerothis]***"The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening" resembles the feel and control of Zelda III for the SNES. Playing as Link, you must collect all 8 instruments to wake the Wind Fish. There are a variety of items and weapons, and yes, the dungeons are still as challenging as ever! [Dynamiton] | labelimagesubject |

Along the way, several skilled trainers, such as Gary, and many minor trainers will challenge you to Pokémon duels. You can't back down, so be ready for anything! Remember, Pokémon are not ordinary creatures. To collect all 150, you'll need to train captured Pokémon so they evolve.
