Link's Awakening: Secret Seashell Guide

[@anthares96]

i feel like cheating for looking this up, but i had 15 seashells and was going back and forth all over the game to find another 5, i couldn't take it anymore D: thank you for the guide, it was very clear and useful!

[@michael-davidblostein9766]

I can't even listen to the music in this video without getting emotional - this was the soundtrack of my youth! Good lord. 1993.

[@ericnorthmen4118]

Im 27, was 3 when i started links awakening, was too hard for me. At 9 i played DX and got stuck before final temple due to a hidden bomb wall. Good times

[@GreenHypnotic]

Play the remake on the switch :)

[@WheeledHamster]

GreenHypnotic New music kinda suck, especially the acorn and powerups sound so muted an not exciting.

[@GreenHypnotic]

@@WheeledHamster yeah you're right! I love the graphics though

[@Nami]

I'm 36 and played it when I was ten. The music in the remake has also made me a lot more emotional that I expected, so I feel you. Especially the tracks where they work the Game Boy music into it. Like the staff roll especially.

[@stvtylilqt]

Thank you! You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a seashell guide! I finally got my sword. :D

[@kikachu4321890]

Glad I could help!

Hi, You can get the third seashell pretty much at the beginning of the game if you play the "Trendy Game" a couple of times. 😉 Grabbing those 2x 30 Rupees worth coins. Then you can buy the Deluxe Shovel at the Town Tool Shop. Another way to get a lot of Rupees is to go to the beach & position yourself below That Monkey who throws cocunts down on you. Sometimes a bomb falls as well. 😃😅 Then you just keep on destroying all of the cocunuts she keeps throwing at you. You have to be agile & quick... still another way to make some money early in the game. ☺

I've had this game (on GBC) for 21 years and never finished it. Now playing through on android as an emulator and have used this tutorial to FINALLY get the seashells. Thanks!

[@sdgdhpmbp]

Replaying the game only this time I marked areas that need revisiting. And yet before entering the 5th dungeon I wanted 20 when I had 19 so thanks to this guide I missed #3 and the ones in trees. I don't expect the remake to be different, but if there are changes then hopefully it's for the better. On to the heart pieces soon enough...

[@stevenstrnad3586]

Thanks for this. It helped a lot.

[@Whalester]

Thank you so much :D best tutorial ever

[@Superfirefox1996]

Thank you! I needed one more to get my sword!

[@slash92gibson]

Thank you so much dude, seriously.

[@spiralcat6376]

I played this game so many times when I was young and never beat the final boss and I'm pretty sure it's because I never found the seashells and got the L2 sword and now I am gunna finally beat this game ^^

[@rpgfan007]

great guide!

[@Hanokanate1]

great job!!!!!! thanks!!!!!!

[@Geryboy666]

thx the one in the dog house was the missing 20th for me got tired of looking for them by myself and only needed 1 more.

[@ginabeena6757]

Thank you!

[@JustinEvitable80]

I only found 16. I hate having to look at guides or FAQs to get through a game but this game is frustrating me.

[@halwilson9251]

Best guide

[@BasZz2119]

Missed seashell #3... Thanks =D

[@kikachu4321890]

No problem! Glad I could help! :)

[@ythendar7795]

Thank you so much

[@RicardoOliveira-ck2hj]

Thanks a Lot!

[@powerisknowledgeTV]

Yeah I fucked up missing both of the seashells that were in seashell Manson so I need five more that are not in the mansion😢 8:50

[@djlamar2]

I have a question. I have 8 seashells and I already gave away my shovel for my boomerang? Can I still get 20 or get my shovel back for my boomerang

[@kikachu4321890]

You can trade the shovel back for the boomerang, or any other item I believe.

[@djlamar2]

+HistoryOfHyrule thanks :). I know I can get a higher power for color dungeon in the DX version but I want to 100% this game and I need the seashells to do so

[@djlamar2]

+HistoryOfHyrule I just traded back my boomerang for my shovel so yes it can be done :D

[@Tedzee8]

There are more than 20 and when they are all the 20 collected, the rest vanishes?

[@dannyhoffman3635]

how do u get back out of that cave after getting the seashell

[@SchmoodleMaster]

Danny Hoffman damn I came here for the same reason and no one answered you for two years

[@shawnthornton3143]

​@@SchmoodleMaster For those who come after, you climb up that ledge with a rock on it. And just hop over the ledge skipping the whole rock pushing maze. I just did it twenty minutes ago.

[@Lizardman]

I wish someone would show the bar if you get all 26

[@jeromebullard6123]

On the new Zelda game and watch it seems there are no seashells. Weird.

[@zediahtimmons9704]

Does the tunic stack with the level 2 sword?

[@abysswinston1018]

Thanks

[@WheeledHamster]

2019 2019 2019 !!!!!!!!

[@lilshiny]

If you pass the 15 secret seashell thing do you not get that seashell? Because I need one more and last I recall I didn't get it. Do I have to start over?

[@kikachu4321890]

LIL SHINY Do you mean Secret Seashell #6 and #11? If so, if you missed those you cannot get them, but there are a total of 26 Secret Seashells and you only need 20 of them to get the sword, so you do not have to start over. The locations of Secret Seashells #21-#26 are in the video. I hope this helps!

[@lilshiny]

Yah I realized that later in the mountains. But you really helped me dude thanks a lot!

[@chuckobscure]

Terrible game design not to be able to get those.
