I just wanted to make a post to let other Linux users know this works great under Wine! You do have to manually install .net Desktop Runtime 6.x into the prefix. Beyond that, it works perfectly. It even worked with my xbone gamepad connected via bluetooth with xpadneo.

I’m using Wine GE 8.25 provided by Lutris on Pop!_OS 22.04.

EDIT: I jumped the gun on the gamepad front. The binding are a bit messed up. Start and Select are detected as the shoulder buttons, X doesn’t work at all, etc. I’d recommend disabling gamepad input in its wine prefix and using AntiMicroX instead to map the gamepad’s inputs to keyboard inputs.

I was just trying to add the game via lutris, but can't get it into my library, just my collection.

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.

I don't know why but I have installed the .net desktop runtime installer (6.0.5 x64) through many ways (Including winetricks) and it gives me the same error... is my wine version busted or somthing?

AND THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS POST!

Ok so I was having the same problem as you. After following Quinn64's steps, I went to "Configure" on Lutris, to the last tab "system options", scrolled down to "Game execution" and set a new environment variable with key = "DOTNET_ROOT" and value = "C:\Program Files\dotnet" (everything without quotes). Then I saved and it started working. You could try this and see if it helps.

It's running perfectly on Lutris using wine-ge-8.25.

I was having a hard time with my default 64bit wineprefix, but switching to the Lutris runtime as written did the trick! Thank you! So glad your post survived a certain villainous takedown.

Pop!OS, Lutris, wine-ge-8-25-x86_64

Same here. It didn't work with vanilla wine, but wine-ge through Lutris did the trick.
