The Wind Fish's Egg & Secret Ending in Link's Awakening Switch 100% Walkthrough 18

[@flunkysomber]

In the game Marin tells Link that she would be a seagull and fly as far away as possible to see distant lands, so yes I think that’s her. (Oh and she says she made a wish to the wind fish but we never get to know what she said but it can be assumed she asked to be a seagull)

[@stickmanguyidontknowhisnam6787]

She wished for love for link

[@moralessanchezoscarelias6412]

Good catch!

[@tammymerriman2113]

Good point 🤔

[@jacobferry6]

Why wouldn't she just ask for a boat tho

[@MisterCrowns]

Damn

[@aval5098]

I know it’s been 2 years but this is the first chance I’ve had to play this game. I didn’t do a perfect 100% and I died more than a few times.. but thank you Austin John for a wonderful guide. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it.

[@KGillis]

This game happens right after Link to the Past in the timeline. This is the Link that appeared in that game. The fact that Agahnim appears (the one you have to deflect magic from) and Ganon appearing (the same form and similar fight to LTTP) is meant to mirror Link's nightmares.

[@danielcurren2119]

Love it this game for the little details like this one

[@diamondly6250]

in my time line this takes place right before the first game that the only game i move in mine

[@chips14]

i would’ve never finished the game without your help. i suck at solving puzzles. honestly kudos to you for taking literally so much time playing, editing, everything just to get these walkthrough videos out. shows you care

[@arcticdino1650]

The reason the nightmare takes both Ganon and Aganim forms is because it was formed from Link's memory/ fear

[@xSilentDreamx]

Amazing work Austin .... you’ve done it once again (speechless).... Best part from entire series, giving Kirby the Super Smash effect every time he died..... Thanks and keep it going...

[@Dailyblazer19]

I literally played this side-by-side with you. I knew how this was going to end, I'd seen a video on the original game years ago, and remembered the ending, but I still had an emotional experience watching everything and everyone I'd interacted with disappear. This is one of the best experiences I've had in a walkthrough, I hope you do more content like this in the future. I didn't even realize that was Marin flying away in the end, until I checked the comments, but the cutscene pretty much spells out her wish to the Wind Fish... it was utterly beautiful.

[@battousaikenshin]

I’ve also found that when battling against the Gannon-looking Nightmare, you can use the Pegasus boots to run into him.

[@brizzyn]

U can also jump his spear throw

[@oliverhughes419]

Thank you for this, these videos made me feel like I wasn't playing alone. I didn't always follow exactly and sometimes I paused it if you ran too far ahead of me, but it was nice to feel like I wasn't playing alone for a change. It's incredibly rare for me to actually have someone to play with. 🙂

[@alexbrown9351]

Another idea for rupee farming is to use Dampe's shack. You can create your own dungeons. This is good for rupee farming because one of the +effects you can add to a room is to rain down rupees on you. You can create what is essentially a four room dungeon (entrance, big empty room with few enemies and no holes in the floor for coin raining, simple room with treasure chest holding key to nightmare room, and easy boss fight). There is a room with two entrances, one top and one bottom, with four pots and two mold blobs in the middle that I found made the best room for rupee rain. The amount of rupees that rains down depends on the overall size of the dungeon, so to get the most rupees you should also include as many other rooms as you can off to the side of the four required rooms that don't have locked doors or treasure chests (so you don't need to go into those areas to open any treasure chests). The ideal is that you only have to go through the four rooms (entrance, rupees, treasure chest, boss). With a large enough dungeon, there will rain down about 285-300 rupees every time you play the dungeon, and I generally could beat the dungeon in about 45 seconds. (If you wear the red armor, you can beat the mold boss in two hits without having to wait for him to go through his invincible phase; the first hit takes him directly to his red angry final phase.) Plus, you don't have to pay any rupees to play the dungeons (so all rupees are profit), and there's no annoying npc dialogue boxes you have to click through to play the dungeon again. With this, you could earn enough rupees to buy a chamber stone in less than 5 minutes (not including the time it takes to build the dungeon in the first place). You can also add a rupee rain room in any of the other dungeons you have to build for Dampe, which means you could earn around 600 rupees (~300 from the rain room and 300 for completing the dungeon) or more for most of the final 12 dungeons he wants you to build.

[@banzai1783]

I played the old game and and I knew how it was going to end and still got sad:( I bought it for that nostalgia feeling great game got 100% and secret ending too

[@alyssais0nline]

for the final phase of the battle, I found the magic rod pretty effective since you can spam and not worry about running out of arrows or the boomerang not returning in time. Overall, fantastic game and AMAZING walkthrough. Thanks Austin !!!

I had fun with this game (which I previously beat, not 100%) for not only the game but for your quirky commentary that made even the brib tower enjoyable! Cheers Austin!

I just decided to play this game on the switch and couldn’t have gotten anywhere near as far without your walkthrough- so great. Thanks for the time and effort it takes to grind this out for us, and make it look effortless😉

Thanks for the guide. Even with the guide it took me a good few days to play through the entirety of it. 100% 8 year old me is super proud of my accomplishment. Thanks for helping me with this 'dream'

[@TeddyCream0]

One detail about this game and the original, is the fact that Wart appears in this game is more than just a reference. Since both this and SMB2 are games that involve the main character being asleep the entire time. It's great foreshadowing ngl. Also thank you for bringing us, myself included, on this amazing journey! 😊

[@Rebecca_DC0]

I played along with this walkthrough back when the game first came out, and between enough time passing that I didn't remember most of the game and the announcement of Echoes of Wisdom, I decided it was time for a second playthrough. I was very proud of myself for doing a LOT more of the game on my own this time! But I knew right where to come whenever I did get hung up. Thanks for all your hard work, Austin!

One thing that i discovered was that you have to go to the library in Mabe village to find out the passage through the egg. If you just take a screenshot here you won't know how to make your way through the maze.

Ok, I finally did it. This series (episode 1) has been sat in my Watch Later playlist at the top for 2 years, I’ve just finished this today (13th October 2021), one eventually later. Good guide Austin from 2019, will watch more in another 2 years… probably.

[@jennilocke]

"It looks like it emerges from you" It does, actually. Back when this game was first made, before the Oracle games were even in development, Link's Awakening was considered a sequel to Link To The Past. When you show up on Koholint, all the monsters show up too. These are Link's nightmares from LTTP. Also, the final boss is named Dethl. Speaking of final boss, do the pegasus boots not work against Nightmare Ganon anymore?

[@GodOfTheHolyHentai]

they do work. the pegasus boots was the only thing that made damage on him, even after trying everything to my knowledge at that time.

Awesome walkthrough. I still go back and reference it when I’m looking for the sea shells. Brings back memories of the original when I watched the ending. Glad you got the book though. I know it was nothing important as you already knew the information but it was messing with my OCD I suppose. That was always my first order of business after getting the Pegasus Boots when playing the original. Mind you this version does seem less challenging. I suppose it could be the fact that certain items are now auto equipped in comparison to the original when you had to sift your inventory meaning you would have to sacrifice either your sword and/or your shield when you needed to use your other items like the feather and powder. Always enjoy your videos.

I believe it is Marin because in that bonding moment between Link and Marin, she stated if she were a seagull she would fly as far as she can. Isn’t it ironic that Marin wanted to be a seagull and then a she appears in the sky and fades away while a seagull flies. Coincidence? I think not.

[@DWoodWX]

The second part of the Nightmare boss inside the Wind Fish's egg was referenced from Ocarina of Time. While the procedure of beating this part of the boss is like Ocarina of Time: The second part of the boss is actually a shadow of Agahnim from A Link to The Past. As well as the shadow of Ganon also from A Link to The Past.
