This page collects every total for a complete Link’s Awakening DX file. Each line links to the page with the full directions. The game gives no prize for finishing every list: the L-2 Sword (20 shells) and the clothes are the only rewards, and a complete file simply means every list below is done. Bottles do not exist in this game, so you never need to look for one.

Link holds the L-2 Sword overhead in the Seashell Mansion, with the sword message fully typed
