Dear Ell'.ily:

Thank you for your receut letter. I appreciate haviug the opportunity to assist you with your game play.

In your letter, you wanted the locations of a few well-hidden Seashells on The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakeniug. This is no easy task. I've listed the locations of a few well-hidden Seashells below.

From the Seashell Mansion, go down one screen, left one screen, down two screens and left one screen. Enter the cave and go left one screen. Use a Bomb on the far-left wall to open a passage. Follow the passage until you can exit on the other side. Once outside, go up one screen and use the Shovel to dig up a Seashell.

From the entrance to the Animal Village, go left one screen, up three screens, right four screens, down two screens, left two screens, up one screen and right one screen. Push the lower-right Armas Statue to reveal a hidden stairway. Take the stairs to locate a Seashell.

From the Hen House iu the Tal Tal Mountaius, go right one screen, down one screen, right five screens and enter the cave, Inside the cave, go up to the right and drop a Bomb on the shallow spot next to the wall; this will open up a secret passage leadiug to a treasure chest. Open the chest for a Seashell.

For the iuside scoop on the secrets of Koholiut Island, fans can obtain a tip book called The Legend a/Zelda: Link's Awakening Player's Guide. This 112-page player's guide iucludes detailed level maps and locations of virtually every item iu the game. I've enclosed an order form you can use to purchase lhe Legend o/Zelda: Link's Awakening Player's Guide by itself or get the guide as a free gift with a subscription or renewal to Nintend@Powermagazine. Please note that The Legend a/Zelda: Link's Awakening Player's Guide does not iuc1ude iuformation on the secret dungeon and the other added features iu The Legend of Zelda: Liuk's Awakening DX.

If you're playiug the newer version of the Zelda game for Game Boy, The Legend of Zelda: Liuk's Awakeniug DX, you may be interested in purchasing one of our recent issues of Nintenda Pawer magaziue, iu addition to The Legend a/Zelda: Link's Awakening Player's Guide. The January 1999 issue, Volume 116, iucludes a detailed map of the secret color dungeon featured iu The Legend of Zelda: Liuk's Awakeniug DX. Please note that the secret dungeon is accessible only if The Legend of Zelda: Liuk's Awakeniug DX is beiug played on the Game Boy Color system. In case you're interested, there is an option on the enclosed order form to purchase Nintendo Power Volume 116 as a back issue.

You also wanted to know where to fmd all the Master's Emblems on Soul Blazer. I've listed the location of all the Master's Emblem below.

Emblem A: After getting the Zantetsu Sword, clear out alI sections of "Leo's Paintings". Return to "Grass Valley Highlands" and go to the bottom right comer. To the left of the small house, there should be ivy on the rock cliff. Climb this, and walk left to find the emblem. On the item screen, this appears in the second row down, eighth square from the left.

EmblemB: You will get this in Area 6: Magridd Castle. After getting the Soul of Realily, enter "Basement of the Castle". In the upper left comer of the second section, there is a diagonal row of spikes in the floor. Just behind them is a chest that is only visible if you have the soul. On the item screen, this appears in the second row down, ninth square from the left.

EmblemC: In "Woods of Greenwood" - from the Shrine entrance, go right to a tree with a ladder. This is "Squirrel, the Exchanger". Talk to the Squirrel in the upper right comer and he will give you the emblem.

EmblemD: You will get this in Area 3: St. Elles. Go to "The Secret Cave" that is entered through "The Seabed of St. Elles." Defeat the one monster lair there to get four treasure chests to appear. The upper left chest has the emblem in it. On the item screen, this appears in the third row down, in the far left square.

EmblemE: You will get this in Area 4: Home of the Mountain Spirit. To get this, you must first fully clear out "Underground Lake, Lune". Return to "Soul of Mountain House," and walk straight down from the Shrine Entrance. When you hit the walI,just to your left is a torch on the wall. Stand just to the left ofthe torch, and walk down through the wall. Talk tothe snail for the emblem. On the item screen, this appears in the third row aown, second square from the left.

EmblemF: You will get this in Area 4: Home of the Mountain Spirit. Use the Dream Rod on a sleeping mushroom found on the left side of the prison in "Soul of Mountain House." This will open a passage in "Underground Lake, Lune." Go to exactly where the mushroom was in "A Mushroom's Dream" to fmd the emblem. On the item screen, this appears in the third row down, third square from the left.

EmblemG: You will get this in Area 5: Dr. Leo's Laboratory. After getting the Door Key, open the locked door on the first floor of "Leo's Laboratory" Go to the chest of drawers that the Mystic Armor is in, and push it to the left. Walk on the space the chest was covering to find the emblem. On the item screen, this appears in the third row down, fourth square from the left.

EmblemH: You will get this in Area 6: Magridd Castle. After clearing out "A Corridor to the Dock", return to "Castle of King Magridd" . From the lower exit of "Magridd Castle Shrine", walk outside of the building, but do not go down across the bridge. Walk to the left, in the grass, and go behind the three small brown pillars. To the left of the pillars, you will walk over and pick up the emblem. On the item screen, this appears in the third row down, fifth square from the left.

Then go to Area 2: Greenwood after getting all eight of the Master's Emblems. On the left side of "Woods of Greenwood", there is a Deer on an island. Talk to him and he will bash into the left most tree in the stage. This makes a diamond appear. Talk to it to get the Magic Bell, which allows you to use any Magic without using your Gems.
