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.
