The Game Boy is a battery-powered handheld game console sold and manfactured by Nintendo. Designed by Gunpei Yokoi, the Game Boy is the first system found in the Game Boy line, and it is Nintendo's second handheld system following the Game and Watch line, which was designed by the same staff. The Game Boy is one of the world's best-selling game system lines, selling over 118 million units worldwide to date since the release of the original Game Boy[1], and has spawned many successful spin-offs, including the Game Boy Pocket.

The Legend of Zelda games

Only one The Legend of Zelda series game was released for the Game Boy, Link's Awakening. The first Game Boy Color Zelda title, Link's Awakening DX, could actually be played in black-and-white as a Game Boy game. However, a special dungeon, the Color Dungeon, is only playable on a Game Boy Color, as it was locked via a color-based puzzle at the entrance.

One of the Game Boy's accessories, the Game Boy Printer, can be used to print The Travels of Link album photos from the Photographer in the Camera Shop.
