Game Boy

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening was the first Zelda game made for a handheld and the first set entirely outside Hyrule, stranding Link on the mysterious Koholint Island after a shipwreck. It is widely regarded as one of the finest games in the Game Boy library.

This is the Dutch retail edition (DMG-ZL-HOL). The game itself runs in English, but the box and the instruction booklet are in Dutch, marking it as a version distributed specifically for the Netherlands market.
