I recently got a used Gameboy and I decided to get Zelda: Links Awakening DX and it works perfectly up until when the title screen plays after Zelda interacts with Link who is washed upon the shore and I cannot press anything I tried pressing START A B etc. but I’m still stuck at the title screen. Help me?

@weeatfeet unlikely that this is caused by a bad cartridge battery. The purpose of the battery in the cartridge is to retain stored memory such as saved games. Of course, try it and see what works. Also, try a different game and remember that if the cartridge is not inserted fully, a poor connection with the Game Boy Color can cause the game to freeze. You also want to clean the cartridge pins use some isopropyl alcohol in a high concentration (like +90% is best, anything lower has way to much water and will not work for this ) and some cotton swabs for the cleaning . Or you can check on here for more ideas.If none of that works, you'll have to actually take a look at the card reader pins etc. Let us know what you find out. Game Boy Color Troubleshooting

that sounds like the the save battery is dead on the Gameboy cartridge
i had the same problem with a Pokémon yellow i had it was a save battery prob I found they are only supposed work for 2 years but they have been known to work for 10 years depending on how much u play on it

Hello, does this issue happen with any other game or just the one Zelda game?

Currently I only own Zelda so I’m not sure

@weeatfeet It could be an issue with the game cartridge. See if you can get ahold of a different game and see if that has the same issue.

Could it possibly be a problem with the Gameboy? Because I actually bought a used Gameboy from a friend and they never really took care of it so I’m thinking maybe there’s something with the console?

@weeatfeet Yes, but ideally external factors should be ruled out when troubleshooting before working on the device itself.
