Can I jump in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening?

Yes, you can, but not at the beginning of the game. You need Rock's Feather to jump and Pegasus Boots that are necessary to make a longer jump.

Is there any way to increase the amount of life hearts?

Collect Pieces of Heart scattered around Koholint Island. After collecting four pieces you will get an additional heart. After defeating every main boss in the dungeons you will also get a heart container.

How to get money in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening?

There are several ways to get rupees, units of currency in The Legend of Zelda games. Rupees are most commonly gained by cutting tall grass or bushes or dashing into trees. However, the largest amounts of money can be found in treasure chests. You can also win some rupees in Trendy Game or at the fishing mini-game.

Can items like bombs, arrows, etc. be bought only in the store?

Of course not. A lot of items can be found by cutting grass, removing stones or plants and smashing vases. In all dungeons, you can also come across a larger amount of items floating above the floor.

Can I sell my stuff in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening?

No, you can't sell anything in this game. You can only buy equipment or other items in stores.

Can I attack NPCs in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening?

You can't attack any encountered characters in the game. But I dare you to hit the chicken who walks around Mabe Village with your sword about 30 times! Seriously I dare you : )

How do I kill the Shy Guy in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening?

A Sky Guy is an enemy that mirrors your movement. To defeat him you must attack it from behind by using a spin attack, by holding your sword and charging it up. Move around until you are side-by-side, then turn away so the Shy Guy exposes its back and release the spin attack.

Can I steal in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening from the store?

When you're at Mabe's Shop, you can grab an item you want to purchase and run around the Shopkeeper. If you circled him enough, make a break for the door. You will get outside with the item for free. But from then on, you will be called "Thief" in the game. And don't even think to come back to the store or you'll be hit with Kamehameha beam and die!

How can I save my game?

You can save your game in one of three slots at any time entering the system tab. In addition, the game also has an autosave. Saving your game in the dungeons saves your experience, items, and HP but it doesn't save your location - you will always spawn by the entrance if you load your game.
