Castlevania Legends (AKA: 悪魔城ドラキュラ 漆黒たる前奏曲, Akumajō Dracula: Dark Night Prelude, Demon Castle Dracula: Dark Night Prelude) is the 3rd and final Castlevania series work released by KONAMI for the Game Boy handheld game console in Japan and North America in 1997 and 1998.

Compared with its former works (Castlevania: The AdventureCastlevania II: Belmont’s Revenge) on the same Game Boy console, there are many differences among them. Such as: uses the magic attack instead of the secondary weapon system; the enemy repeatedly appears; new added unrecoverable Burning points (a certain time of invincibility and turbo), and so on. Especially, the new gameplay of collecting props makes this game doubly difficult, because you would not see the real ending if the props were not collected completely.

BTW, Castlevania Legends has been deleted from the official historical chronology of Castlevania series after 五十嵐 孝司 hold the post of the Lead Producer.
