While the new trailer for Link's Awakening focused on the overall visuals and experience, as well as the new Chamber Dungeons feature, the Treehouse segment showed us that the Color Dungeon from Link's Awakening will be back in fully glory.
The Skeletons at the entrance, who now have names like everyone – Gar and Dion, don't ask you their colors any more, but they are still talking about how you will need Magic Powder and are offering to sell you some. The rest of the dungeon seems to be unchanged and that's nice to see.
While it is not the most complex dungeon in the game, it will be a great addition for the new Chamber Dungeons, because it offers a big variety of the small dungeon rooms that are necessary for this feature:
As indicated by the Color Dungeon's classic music, this is one giant throwback to the dungeons of the first NES Zelda game, where everything is made out of these simple square rooms, in which the exits of each room are placed right at the centers of the walls. It even has a hidden Rupee chamber, much like the dungeons on the NES used to have.
Now, the Chamber Dungeons only seem to work with such square rooms and not bigger constructs out of multiple rooms (that are now one), where the Color Dungeon is made exclusively out of them. It's the only dungeon in the game that does this. In fact the Chamber Dungeons feature might even be the main reason, why Nintendo went through the effort of bringing back this particular dungeon in the first place...
