PrinceWatercress plays The Legend Of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX - Part 8 of 22


It's dungeon time again! This time, it's off to the Key Cavern, which is one big key reference.


Key Cavern


The Bob-ombs blow up whatever it his after you smack it with the sword. When you do that, it bounces around the room, before it either explodes or hits a few walls (whatever happens first).

Some chests will have enemies in them after this point.

Go into the room to the north first when you go upstairs. You'll find the switch to strike with the sword, which lets you open the chest you just passed up downstairs and get the owl beak.

To beat the birds that throw shurikens at you, hit them before they can throw them at you or hit them with the bow and arrow.

When you take the right door, you'll reach another staircase. From there, go north and place a bomb next to the segment of wall between the two torches. You'll find a hidden room, and you can also go north by blowing up the crack in the wall. (The room to the north of this has an arrow pointing south.)

If you hold your sword out and walk into the wall, you can make a clinking sound. If you make a loud clinking sound on the wall in your present location, you can drop a bomb there and bust a hole in it there, allowing for entry into another room.

The Bob-ombs here act a little differently. Once you strike them, they'll follow you around. If you can keep them away from you, they'll explode without hitting you after they count down from three to one.

The mini-boss here is a pair of worms. You have to either place a bomb in their mouths while they're moving or throw the bombs at their mouths. For best result, get them into a corner and throw the bomb at their mouths. Once you beat them, you'll be able to get the Pegasus Boots. With these, you can use them in combination with the Roc's Feather to jump past long pits and with the sword to break the crystals that are in your way. The Pegasus Boots work in this game the exact same way that they did in A Link to the Past.

Now that you have the Pegasus Boots, use them with the Roc's Feather in the secret room to fly over the pit and get the Nightmare's Key.

Also, you can now go to the room to the right at the beginning and get past the vortex monster that pushes you back. This will net you a much-needed key.

The huge stone that blocks your path in the downstairs chamber can be taken care of with the Pegasus Boots. Just charge into him and he'll come crashing down into the spike pit, acting as a bridge. The room to the right of this has a Piranha Plant. Yet another Mario reference. Just destroy it with your sword.

The Pegasus Boots can be used to kill the shuriken-tossing birds if you also have the sword equipped.

The boss here is a slime. He sends a few normal slimes after you, then the big one finally drops down from the ceiling. Beat him up until he looks like he's about to split in to, then run straight into the middle of him with the Pegasus Boots. From there, he'll split in two and you can take both of the slimes out easily. Just watch out when those slimes jump up and try to land on you on the way down.

When you beat the boss, you'll get the Sea Lily's Bell.

Koholint

After getting the bell, you'll be told to head to the waterfall. You'll also meet the Owl again on the way back, and he tells you to head to the Yarna Desert.

By the way, north of the Key Cavern is a space of ground between four spaces of grass. If you dig in that spot, you'll find a Secret Seashell.

13. On the path to the Key Cavern, there is a space in between four patches of grass. Use the shovel on it to get another Secret Seashell.
