Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX

North of Mabe Village there is a fishing game. There is one big fish directly below you. If you catch it the man will give you a peice of heart and 20 rupees.

After you beat the Color Dungeon,a fairy will give you either a red shirt or a blue shirt.(The blue shirt will reduce your damage by half. The red shirt will give you the power to make you sword twice as strong. I think that the red is better.)

In Mabe Village (where Marin and Tarin live and where the game begins), find a chicken and beat it with your sword continuously. After you take enough swipes at it, it'll call the cavalry, and you'll be savagely pecked to daeth by vengeful chickens! you can escape them by moving out of the screen and onto the next. This works with doggies, too, but they're more irritable and independant than chickens are.

When you lose all your hearts, immediatly save and quit. Then the number of times of death will stay the same and you will start at the last place where you came from with five hearts.

You must have the running boots for this to work. Go to the library just before the beach in Mabe Village. You'll see a book on the shelf, ram the shelf using the boots and read the book. It will tell you to go to the area in the graveyard with 5 tombstones. Be sure to memorize which order to push the tombstones in and what direction to move them in. It may take a few tries but if it's done properly a hole will appear leading you to the secret dungeon.

This code sometimes doesn't work but most of the time it does.

1. Go to the item shop.
2. Pick up the item you want to buy.
3. Go to the guy and talk to him until he askes, "Buy it?"
4. Say "Buy" and right after that, save it.

It helps to save when the arrow is on the "Buy" icon. Save the game and exit. When you go back, the item should be in your inventory.

To steal from a store, take what you want then stand above the shopkeeper. As as he's looking at the top of the screen, run out the door.

There is one minor setback from stealing. After you steal something from a store, all of the characters in the game will call you THIEF.

If you steal from a shopkeeper you can never return. Doing so is a death sentence! However, you can use this to advantage by choosing Save and Continue when the shopkeeper kills you. You can now re-enter the store and steal from it again.

Play the crane game and grab the two rupees by placing the crane's shadow on the upper left hand of the conveyer belt. Wait until the item you want is about halfway between the upper and lower right hand corners. You can go back and repeat the process. It's a lot better than stealing.

This technique is a little more effective way to get things on the crane game. Your timing must be just right, or you'll never get what you want. To do this trick, put the crane on the upper left hand side of the screen with the shadow over the left moving conveyer belt. Wait until what you want is in the lower right hand corner to drop the crane.
