Legend Of Zelda, The: Link's Awakening DX - Strategy Guide (Page 04)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Legend Of Zelda, The: Link's Awakening DX - Strategy Guide (Page 04).

GETTING THE YOSHI DOLL: The Yoshi Doll is the first item in the trading
sequence. Go to the Trendy Game in Mabe Village and pay the man 10
rupees to play the game. Grab the controls and position the crane over
the Yoshi Doll in the center (the shadow should be over the doll). The
crane brings the Yoshi Doll to you, and you have the Yoshi Doll!

GETTING THE RIBBON: Also in Mabe Village, go to the Quadruplet's House
in the north part of the city (on a little hill). Talk to the mother
there. Seems like she wants the Yoshi Doll for her baby! Give it to her
and she'll give you the Ribbon in return.

GETTING THE DOG FOOD: This item is still in Mabe Village. Go into the
little dog house right beside Madam Meowmeow's house. Talk to the 'baby
BowWow' there. Make up! Jewels! Dresses! She wants it all...and she
wants your ribbon! Give it to her and she'll give you some nice juicy
Dog Food in return. Yummy!

GETTING THE BANANAS: This item is found in Toronbo Shores...so go over
to the eastern part of the Toronbo Shores. There's a house there among
the banana trees. Enter it and talk the the alligator. He's a canned
food nut, crazy for your Dog Food. Give it to him and he'll eat it in
one gulp. He'll give you a bunch of bananas in return.

GETTING THE STICK: Outside of Kanalet Castle, there's a cute little
monkey. Of course, monkey want banana. Talk to him and give him the
bananas. He'll call his army of monkeys to build a bridge across the
water. When the monkeys go away, a stick will be left there on the
bridge. Pick it up.

GETTING THE HONEYCOMB: After you beat the Key Cavern, Tarin will be in
the Ukuku Prairie examining a honeycomb. He says "I see you have a nice
stick...". Sick, isn't he? He'll ask you for your stick. Give it to
him, and he'll start poking the honeycomb. What a moron! Bees will come
out of the honeycomb and chase Tarin away. Pick up the honeycomb when
it falls to the ground.

GETTING THE PINEAPPLE: Bring the honeycomb to the Animal Village. Enter
the house at the bottom right corner and talk the the bear chef. Well...
he's a bear, obviously he would want the honeycomb. Give him the
honeycomb and he'll give you the pineapple in return.

GETTING THE HIBISCUS: Go to the Tal Tal Mountains and you'll find your
good friend, Papahl. He's lost in the mountains, just like he said, and
he's starving to death! You know what to do...give him the Pineapple and
save his life. In return, he'll give you a hibiscus (a type of flower).

GETTING THE LETTER: Return to the Animal Village. In a house in the top
right of the village, there's a lady goat writing a letter. She insists
that it's only proper to give flowers to a lady when you meet her. The
hibiscus will do nicely. Give her the hibiscus and she'll give you her
letter.

GETTING THE BROOM: The goat lady tells you to deliver the letter to her
boyfriend who lives north of the Mysterious Forest. So go to the house
above the Mysterious Forest (near Goponga Swamp). Give it to the guy
there. The letter came with a picture...of Princess Peach!? What the
hell?! You'll get a broom in return.

GETTING THE FISHING HOOK: Go to Mabe Village. There's usually an old
lady sweeping in front of Ulrira's house...but now she's sweeping
without a broom. Give her a broom and she can continue her happy life of
sweeping. [NOTE: Sometimes, she's in the Animal Village instead of Mabe
Village].

GETTING THE NECKLACE: After you get the flippers, dive into Martha's
Bay. Swim to the southern part of the bay, and swim under the bridge.
There's a fisherman fishing under the bridge! Jump onto his boat. He
says that he's fishing without a hook, so give him your hook and he
promises to give you what he catches. And he catches...a necklace.
Lucky!

GETTING THE SCALE: Swim west of the Catfish's Maw and meet the Mermaid.
She says she lost he necklace somewhere in the bay. Hmmm...it looks like
the necklace that the fisherman caught was actually her's. Give the
necklace to her, and she'll give you one of her scales. What can you do
with this?

GETTING THE MAGNIFYING GLASS: Go to the wooden bridge south of Martha's
Bay. Use the hookshot to get across the water. Now walk up to the
Mermaid Statue and press "A" to put the scale on it. The statue will
move away, revealing steps going underground. Go down the steps, go to
the next room, and pick up the magnifying glass! The final item in the
trading sequence.

GETTING THE BOOMERANG: Go down to the Toronbo Shores with the Magnifying
Glass. At the eastern part of the shores, bomb the wierd-looking wall.
Inside there is a guy willing to trade an item for the boomerang. I
suggest you give away the shovel (since you no longer need it). You can
always come back here if you want the shovel back.

'----------------------------------------------------------------------'


Pieces of Heart are scattered all around the island. There are 12 of
them in all, but you don't have to get all of them. In fact, you can
beat the game without getting any of them at all! After you get 4
pieces, you gain a whole heart container. "Grid point" refers to the
point on the island.


1. MABE VILLAGE (grid point A11). At the western part of Mabe Village,

SECRET cave to retrieve your heart piece.

in the Eastern Tal Tal Mountains and cut down a lonely bush to reveal
some stairs. Go in there and follow the path to the piece of heart.

a bomb and go in. Cross the big gap with the hookshot to reach the

piece.

'----------------------------------------------------------------------'


Secret Seashells are scattered all around the island. If you collect 20

sword! There are 26 of them in all, but you only need 20 to get the
sword.

chest in there to recieve a secret seashell.

4. MYSTERIOUS FOREST (grid point B8). In the south part of the
Mysterious Forest, there's a chest in an area blocked off by a rock. Use
the Power Bracelet to lift the rock and open the chest for a secret
seashell.

'----------------------------------------------------------------------'


The Camera Shop is located in Tal Tal Heights, just to the east of the
Goponga Swamp. This is a new feature to the DX version of the game. At
certain points in the game, a photographer will appear and take your
picture. You can view these pictures in the album in the Camera Shop
(and you can print them with the GameBoy Printer too). There are 12
pictures in all...


#1 - Go to the Camera Shop east of Goponga Swamp and talk to the
photographer to get this picture. You get a different picture depending
if you answer yes or no to his questions.

#2 - When you have Marin following you, take her to the cliff at the
very bottom left corner of Toronbo Shores. Very nice looking.

#3 - When you have Marin following you, fall into the well at the
western Mabe Village. It's a picture of Marin falling on Link's back!

#4 - When you have Marin following you, go to the flying rooster statue
in Mabe Village. Tarin will come and you'll have your picture taken.

#5 - Look into the right window outside of Ulrira's house for another
picture.

a picture of Bow Wow attaking you :)

| 10) Secrets                                                          |
'----------------------------------------------------------------------'


This is a special section of the guide. Here you'll find a list of
things to do in the game that do not directly affect the outcome of the
game, and they are not required to finish the game. It's just here to
make you appreciate the game more.


THE SECRET DUNGEON:
- Link's Awakening DX has a new dungeon that can only be accessed with
a Game Boy Color system. Go to the Library and use the Pegasus Boots to
knock down the book from the shelf. Read the arrow stuff and remember
it. Go to the bottom right screen of the graveyard and push the grave
stones in the direction and order in the book (first push the bottom-
center stone down, then push the bottom-left stone to the right...).
Tada! The pathway appears to the new dungeon!

REVENGE OF THE CHICKENS:
- This is a very popular secret: There are chickens in Mabe Village.
These seemingly harmles chicken can become deadly if you attack them.
Hit them with the sword about 35 times and a whole army of chickens will
attack you. They will stop if you go to another screen.

STEALING ITEMS FROM THE SHOP:
- There are some really expensive items in the Mabe Village shop. The
shovel for 200 rupees? Bow and Arrow for 980 rupees?! If you don't have
enough money to pay for these items, you can steal them! Just pick up
the item from the shelf, go *behind* the guy, and out the door. If he's
facing right, you will still have the item. But the next time you go
into the shop, the shopkeeper will zap you to death and everyone on the
island will call you "THIEF" for the rest of the game. It's good to do
this for the Bow and Arrow since you don't have to go into the shop
anymore.

SAVE MONEY IN THE SHOP:
- Here's another way to save money when buying an item from the shop.
But you must have enough rupees to pay for that item. Grab the item and
talk to the shopkeeper. Right when the shopkeeper starts collecting
rupees, press A, B, select, and start at the same time. Save and quit
the game. You will have the item and most of your rupees!

DIFFERENT MUSIC:
- IF you enter your name as "ZELDA" on the main screen, the music on the
main screen will be different. It's kinda useless, but the music does
sound pretty cool.

TRENDY GAME TIPS:
- Here's a good tip on how to win the Trendy Game. Position the crane so
that it's directly above the upper right corner of the conveyer (you
should see the shadow on the conveyer). When the item you want is at the
*opposite* corner (the bottom left), just *tap* the A button. If your
timing is right, you'll get the item.

KILL THE BUNNIES:
- In dungeons, you'll sometimes find an enemy that looks like a cute
bunny rabbit. If you play the Ballad of the Wind Fish on the ocarina,
they'll explode!

SHOOT BOMB ARROWS:
- Equip both the Bombs and the Bow and Arrow to the "A" and "B" buttons.
Press the A and B buttons at the same time and you will shoot "Bomb
arrows"! This neat weapon has the power of a bomb and an arrow...but
it's completely useless.

FAIRY SPRINGS:
- In Koholint Island, there are some places where you'll find a fairy
who is always willing to heal your wounds and "get rid of all your
stress". They will completely fill up your heart meter! They can be
found in the Mysterious Forest, Ukuku Prairie, Face Shrine, and Eastern
Tal Tal Mountains.

DO SOMETHING WITH MARIN:
- When Marin is following you around, you can do different stuff and she
will react. Try falling down the well, breaking some pots, digging with
the shovel, playing the trendy game, hurting the chickens, or playing
the ocarina. It's especially funny if you try playing the Trendy Game :)

IMMORTAL LINK:
- There's a way to prevent yourself from dying so that it won't be
recorded on the main title screen. Just when you lose all your hearts,
Link will spin around for a second. While he's doing this, you should
quickly press A, B, select, and start at the same time. Save and quit
the game. If you did this before Link fell to the ground, your death
will not be recorded!

BOOMERANG ROOSTER ATTACK:
- When you have the Rooster, Power Bracelet, and Boomerang, you can do
this trick. THrow the boomerang and quickly grab onto the rooster before
the boomerang comes back. You will be flying while the boomerang circles
around you...and you can fly around while attacking enemies.

SPECIAL ENDING:
- If you manage to beat the entire game without losing a single life,
you get a special ending. Instead of the seagull flying over "The End",
Marin will be there with wings. You can use the "Immortal Link" trick to
get this (see above).

CARRY MORE BOMBS/ARROWS/MAGIC POWDER:
- On the Island of Koholint, there are three hidden places where you
will find the Mad Batter. Sprinkle some Magic Powder on the statue thing
to make him appear. You just woke him from his sleep! For his "revenge",
he'll let you carry more bombs, arrows, or magic powder (you can only
choose one). The first Mad Batter is found under a rock in the
Mysterious Forest The second one is found under a rock in the Western
Tal Tal Mountains. For the third one, go near the bottom left of
Martha's Bay (in a screen with lots of bushes). Jump over the hole and
cut down the bushes to find a stairway. Go down the stairway and follow
the path until you reach him.

'----------------------------------------------------------------------'


        wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
        <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< SELECTABLE ITEMS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
        mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


SWORD:
This is Link's weapon of choice. You can find it washed up on Toronbo
Shores. It's a good idea to *always* have this item equipped because
you'll use it all the time. It can defeat most enemies, but not all.
There is also a Level 2 sword that you get from the seashell mansion
after you find 20 secret seashells.

SHIELD:
When Marin found you washed up in the shore, she also found your shield.
Tarin gives it to you at the very beginning of the game. You know it's
yours because your name is engraved on it! There's also a stronger
shield, the Mirror Shield, that can block stronger attacks than the
original shield. The Mirror shield is found in Eagle's Tower.

SLEEPY MUSHROOM:
The sleepy mushroom is found deep in the mysterious forest. When you
find it, bring it to the Which's Hut and give it the the which. She will
make a bag of magic powder! There's no other use for the sleepy
mushroom except for making magic powder...

MAGIC POWDER:
This is magic powder made from the sleepy mushroom. You can also buy it
from shops or win it from the Trendy Game. It can do a lot of different
things...you can sprinkle it on torches to light them, or sprinkle it on
the raccoon to change him back to Tarin. Try sprinkling it on different
things to get different effects!

ROC'S FEATHER:
The only way that Link can jump is by using the Roc's Feather, what a
wimp! Roc's Feather can be found in the Tail Cave. It's good to always
have this item equipped (along with the sword) because you'll use it A
LOT. You can also grab floating items by jumping up to them.

POWER BRACELET:
When wearing the power bracelet, Link can lift heavy objects (actually,
he can't lift any objects without this bracelet). This is another very
useful item. It's primarily used to pick up bottles and rocks. It can be
found in the Bottle Grotto. There's also a level 2 power bracelet that's
found in the Face Shrine.

PEGASUS BOOTS:
This item can be found in the Key Cavern, it allows you to dash really
really fast! You need to hold down the button for a second before you
dash. The Pegasus Boots are primarily used to break through diamond
shaped objects. You can also use them to charge through some enemies.

HOOKSHOT:
The hookshot is one of my favorite items in all Zelda games. It can be
found in Catfish's Maw. There are many uses for the hookshot: You can
use it to pull yourself towards objects, attack other enemies, or pull
some small objects towards you (heart, rupees...)!

MAGIC ROD:
You don't get this item until near the end of the game. It can be found
in Turtle Rock. When you use it, a flame will quickly shoot out of the
rod. This is very useful for killing enemies, melting blocks of ice, or
lighting far away torches. Too bad you don't get the chance to use it
much :(

BOMBS:
Bombs can be found almost everywhere...they're available at the shop,
in treasure chests, and from defeating enemies. They're also very useful
in the game. Use them to kill enemies or blow up walls. You can tell if
a wall is "bombable" because you can see a crack in it (and you'll hear
a hollow sound if you hit it with the sword).

BOW & ARROWS:
Link knows his archery, and he chooses only the best brand of bow. The
bow and arrow can only be bought from the Mabe Village shop for a
whopping 980 RUPEES! This is the most freakin' expensive item in any
Zelda game! The Bow and Arrows are used to shoot distant enemies...some
enemies can only be defeated with the Bow and Arrow.

SHOVEL:
The shovel can only be bought from the Mabe Village shop for 200 rupees.
You can use it to dig holes in the ground and maybe discover some buried
treasure. You need it to get some of the secret seashells and golden
leaves. Later in the game you should trade it away for the boomerang.

OCARINA:
What's an ocarina? Well, it's a flute-like instrument that's played by
blowing. It also played a major role in Zelda: Ocarina of Time. You find
the ocarina in the Dream Shrine of Mabe Village. There are three
different songs you can play, each with it's own effect.

BOOMERANG:
This is a special, optional item. You can get it only after you've
completed the trading process and gotten the magnifying glass. Go to the
cave at the bottom right of Toronbo Shore. There's a guy in there
willing to trade the boomerang for one of your items. I suggest you
trade the shovel (since you don't need it anymore). You can get back the
shovel anytime you want by just talking to this guy again.


        wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
        <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< OTHER ITEMS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
        mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


THE TRADING ITEMS:
The first trade item is the Yoshi Doll, which can be won from the Trendy
Game in Mabe Village. This item can be traded for something else, which
can be traded for something else, which can be traded for something
else...and the process goes on and on. There are a total of 14 trade
items. The last one is the magnifying glass.

SECRET SEASHELLS:
Throughout the game, you will find secret seashells in hidden places.
Some are hidden in chests, under bushes, in pots, and even underground!
There are 24 seashells in all. "If you collect a lot of these, something
good is bound to happen"...when you have at least 20 seashells, go to
the Seashell Mansion to recieve the Level 2 sword!

CRAZY TRACY'S POTION:
There's a crazy girl that lives in a little house at the right of the
forest. She's Crazy Tracy and she wants to sell you some medicine! For a
small fee, of course. When you run out of hearts, this potion will
restore you back to full life! It only works once, but you can always
come back to buy some more.

FLIPPERS:
Links needs the flippers in order to swim, he'll drown without them! The
flippers can be found in Angler's Cave. While swimming, you can tap the
"A" to swim faster, and press "B" to dive underwater.

GOLDEN LEAVES:
There are five golden leaves hidden in the Kanalet Castle. A wierd guy
named Richard really wants these leaves, and asks you to retrieve them
for you. Return them to him to get the key to the Key Cavern.

RUPEES:
This is the currency of Hyrule, and the currency of Koholint too! You
need it to buy things from stores, play the Trendy Game, and some buy
some other stuff . You can get rupees by defeating enemies, looking in
grass and pots, finding them in chests, or winning in the Trendy Game.

KEYS:
These are used in dungeons (usually they can be found in chests).
They're used to open locked doors (of course). There is a different kind
of key called the Nightmare Key. The Nightmare Key is used to open the
big door leading up to the room with the boss.

MAP:
Each dungeon has it's own map. After you find it, press the start button
to view it. Each block represents a different room of the dungeon.
Sometime there are secret rooms aren't displayed! If you have the
compass, you will see symbols for chests in rooms that have them and a
skull in the room with the Nightmare.

COMPASS:
Each dungeon also has it's own compass. When you have the compass, you
can see on the map the locations of the chests and the nightmare. The
compass will also make a sound if you enter a room with a hidden key in
it.

OWL BEAK & OWL STATUE:
In the original version of the game, this is called a stone slab
fragment. In the DX version, it's a stone beak. You can find it in a
dungeon and connect it to a stone slab/owl statue to recieve an
extremely vague hint. The hint is usually quite useless and doesn't give
you much help...so I won't cover it in the walkthrough.

GUARDIAN ACORN:
After defeating a certain number of enemies, you will recieve the
guardian acorn. This acorn doubles your defensive power (so the damage
you recieve from enemies is cut in half). The acorn's power will go away
if you get hit by too many enemies.

PIECE OF POWER:
A Piece of Power appears after you defeat a number of enemies. It
doubles your attacking power and enemies will go flying when you hit
them with the sword. The piece of power is much rarer than the Guardian
Acorn, and like the Guardian Acorn, the power goes away when you get hit
too many times.

- The first, and most obvious change is the conversion of the game into
color for the Game Boy Color. It looks really good, almost SNES quality
graphics. There are some other graphical changes too, like the clouds
around the egg in the introduction, and the rocks kinda look different.

- There is a secret dungeon that can only be accessed with the Game Boy
Color system (that's what I heard, but I haven't tested the game with
the old Game Boy). Check out the 'Color Dungeon' section for details on
how to get there.

- In the dungeons, the stone slabs have been changed to owl statues. The
stone slab fragments have also been changed to owl beaks. This is
probably because there are now more than one owl statue in the dungeons.
Yep, Nintendo added quite a few more hints in the dungeons to help with
the hard puzzles (thus making the game a bit easier).

- There's a new 'Picture' feature in the game. A camera shop has been
added in the Tal Tal Heights. A certain points in the game, a
photographer will appear to take your picture. The pictures are stored
in an album in the camera shop. You can view the pictures there and
even print them with the Game Boy Camera.

- In the sub-screen, you can press the select button to make a little
window appear at the bottom right corner. This window displays
information like what color clothes you're wearing, how many pictures
have been taken, and how many heart pieces you have.
