'''Game Boy''', known as the '''Mini Comboy''' in Korea, is a handheld video game console developed and distributed by [[Nintendo]]. Originally released on April 21, 1989, the handheld would grow to dominate the handheld industry through the 1990's and cement Nintendo's legacy in the market. Despite not having a backlit or color screen and being weaker than the competition on a technical level, the Game Boy would be the top seller of multiple generations due to the low price, relatively long battery life, and the pedigree of Nintendo backing the games aspect. The Game Boy would have two major revisions, the Game Boy Pocket in 1996 and the Japan-exclusive Game Boy Light in 1998. The Gameboy would also have two direct successors, the [[Game Boy Color]] in 1998 and the [[Game Boy Advance]] in 2001, as well as inspire elements of the [[Nintendo DS]], [[Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Nintendo Switch]]. | |||
''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'' would debut on this system on June 6, 1993 as the first portable mainline title in the franchise. The game would be ported to Game Boy Color with added content as ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX]]'' in 1998 and be [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Nintendo Switch)|fully remade]] for Nintendo Switch in 2019. | |||
