Link's Awakening DX GBC Items
For The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX on the Game Boy Color (1998).
Each item comes with the text the game shows when Link gets it, and the chests it is in: dungeons with a count, and for chests outside them a picture of the overworld screen (for caves and houses, the screen with the door). The Power Bracelet and Shield chests found this way give the second level, the Powerful Bracelet and the Mirror Shield. A Secret Seashell chest gives 20 Rupees instead once Link has the second sword. Inventory screens show icons only, with no item text. 101Leafy researched the game.
