The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX playthrough Part 14
With the Hookshot from Catfish's Maw,it's now possible to get many items Link couldn't before. There's a Heart Piece in the cave just south of the witch hut,and another Heart Piece in the cave just right of the Animal Village. Southwest of the Animal Village,Link can Hookshot across the water to a mermaid statue. If you have the Scale from the Mermaid,you can place it here,and find the Magnifying Glass inside! Also with the Hookshot we can now do an area just southeast of Mabe Village. Follow the signs to the next corresponding sign until a staircase appears. Inside is a frog who'll teach you the final Ocarina song,The Frog's Song,for 300 Rupees. Afterwards,I climbed up Tal Tal Heights to get my 20th Secret Seashell,another Altar that granted Link a larger Arrow capacity,and another Heart Piece.
