The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening/Cheats

Most of these cheats should work with both versions of the game, but this is not guaranteed. This guide is written with the DX version in mind.

Many of these cheats have not been tested, and none have been tested outside of emulation, so they may not work as expected or may even have undesirable side-effects.

NOTE: for some cheat devices you may need to change the first digit from 0 to 9 or vice versa.

=Game Genie Codes=

Original Only
"Use these codes to cheat with the Game Genie peripheral. These codes will only work on the original version, and not the DX version."

Unknown Compatibility
These may or may not work with the DX version.

=Action Replay/GameShark Codes= As a rule, these should work with both Action Replay and GameShark.

Map-Exploration Omega Code
This gets its own section due to its immense size. All must be used together. All are by Xkeeper from Zelda Coalition.

"This will change all objects on the outer edge of the current screen to walkable tiles, usually dirt or grass. This allows you to go ANYWHERE. DANGER - be sure to turn off when entering the room you want to exit, since the door tiles will likely be gone!"
