Zelda: Link’s Awakening – Missable Items Guide

by Falagar / Articles, Misc. Guides / 29 Sep 2019

The following items can easily be missed in a standard playthrough (even if you have thoroughly explored the island), and none are required to finish the story. Successfully complete the indicated task to get the corresponding optional item.

Boomerang: Found in a cave south of Sale’s house on Toronbo Shores. Bomb the cracked wall —- if you have the Magnifying Lens (obtained by completing the Trading quest), you will see an NPC. Trade any usable item to get the Boomerang. You can trade the Boomerang back again.

Fairy Bottle #1: A ghost will appear in the Animal Village. Escort the ghost back to their house in Martha’s Bay, then take them to the grave surrounded by flowers outside the cemetery.

Fairy Bottle #2: Found at the bottom of the fishing mini-game in Mabe Village. You need the Heavyweight Lure or your line will break while bringing up the bottom on the pond floor.

Fairy Bottle #3: Complete Chamber Dungeons in Dampe’s Hut until you unlock the “Heart Shortage” quest. Complete this quest to get the final fairy bottle.

Heavyweight Lure: Catch the Blooper Squid in the Fishing Pond mini-game. Make sure to get the Middleweight Lure by catching a large fish before attempting to get the Blooper Squid.

Upgraded Sword: Take 20 Secret Seashells to the Seashell Mansion to get an upgraded, more powerful sword.
