{{nihongo|'''Devil Castle Dracula: Shikkokutaru Prelude'''|悪魔城ドラキュラ 漆黒たる前奏曲|Akumajou Dorakula Shikkokutaru Pureryūdo|lit. "Devil's Castle Dracula: Black Night Prelude"}} is an action game originally released in Japan and later localized as '''Castlevania Legends'''. It was the last {{C|Castlevania}} game released for the [[Game Boy]], as well as the last original platform game in the series.
''Castlevania Legends'' is a classic-style Castlevania action game for the [[Game Boy]], originally released in Japan as ''"Akumajō Dracula: Dark Night Prelude"''. It was the last of the three {{C|Castlevania}} games released on the original Game Boy, as well as the last "Classicvania" game in the series that received a physical release ([[Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth]] was released solely on WiiWare in 2009).


''Castlevania Legends'' is the only game in the series to star a female Belmont: Sonia, the mother of Trevor (the main character of [[Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse|Castlevania 3]]). Alucard, the son of Dracula, would also appear, playing a supporting role.
''Castlevania Legends'' is the only game in the series to star a female Belmont, in the form of Sonia. Within the Legends universe, Sonia is the mother of Trevor Belmont from [[Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse]], which places ''Castlevania Legends'' some time in the early-to-mid-1400s. ''Castlevania Legends'' was original designed as an origin story for the feud between the Belmont Clan and Dracula, however, with the release of [[Castlevania: Lament of Innocence]] six years later in 2003, Koji Igarashi removed ''Castlevania Legends'' from the canon timeline.


This game was removed from the official continuity, and replaced by [[Castlevania: Lament of Innocence]].
