Link's Awakening - Level 0 Shield

A somewhat short video about getting the level 0 shield in "Legend of Zelda - Link's Awakening" for GameBoy.

Performed on a ROM of the original release - the glitch/trick used in this video WILL NOT WORK on the DX version!
Though this was performed on a ROM, this glitch/trick IS reproducable on the original cartridges of Link's Awakening.

The glitch/trick involved is known as the "Select Trick". Watch the video, as it's hard to explain.

Performed by Kenjoki Ikari (Myself).

why doesnt it work on DX?

[Jesgen]

The glitch was fixed in the DX version, so it's no longer exploitable.

Attack of the shape-shifting old women!

BTW you can use the dog house glitch to get a L-9 sheild

Another way to get the lv 0 shield is to glitch your way through the island, get the secret seashells and trade them before getting the sword at the beach.

i wonder what happens if that crab kills u while u pick up the sword...

F'n Sweet! I just beat LOZ: Link's Awakening Glitch style!

I went to the game with no sword until I needed to beat the boss.

I got the Magic Fire Rod from Level 8and LVL 2 Power Bracelet before I did anything else.

Since I didn't get the sword, Marin stayed in the house the whole game!

She never got trapped on the bridge or had that beach moment with Link or sang the Ballad of the Wind Fish the whole game.

I still had the Yoshi Doll that you trade for stuff that's critical to move on.

OK. To do the select trick, just press select just BEFORE the screen scrolls.

link dosent get a shield thats invisible, he gains the power to create force fields in front of him!

[CornishCreamtea07]

thought so as I've never even seen the original one I asked on the grounds that it's claimed on the net that the DX version is rarer
