Unless someone adds an install script for it on the Lutris website, you’ll have to add it as a locally installed games.

If you aren’t sure how to do that, follow these instructions:

1: Choose what directory you want it in (let’s use ~/Games for this example), create a subdirectory named “links-awakening-dx-hd” without quotes 2: In that directory create a subdirectory named “drive_c” without quotes 3: Create a subdirectory in that named something like “Link’s Awakening DX HD” and put the game files in there

So now you should have a directory structure that looks like:

~/Games/links-awakening-dx-hd/drive_c/Link’s Awakening DX HD

Now press the “+” icon in the top left of Lutris and select “Add locally installed game”. Fill out the name with whatever you want. The “Runner” needs to be set to “Wine”. Under “Game options”, set “Executable” to “~/Games/links-awakening-dx-hd/drive_c/Link’s Awakening DX HD/Link’s Awakening DX HD.exe” without quotes, and set “Wine prefix” to “~/Games/links-awakening-dx-hd” without quotes. Then select “Save”.

Now you need to install .net 6.x runtime. Once you have the installer, you can run it by selecting Link’s Awakening DX HD in Lutris, then press the up arrow menu next to the wine icon at the bottom and select “Run EXE inside Wine prefix”. Select the runtime installer you downloaded and follow the instructions on the screen. After that, you’re good to go.

If you have other issues, Lutris does have a support channel on Libera.Chat. They also have a community forum on the main site.
