My brother has been trying to get me to watch Twin Peaks for years. He often references the television show and shows his love with a Twin Peaks ugly sweater and a Bookhouse Boys ball cap.

In new footage from GameXplain, Link uncovers a Secret Seashell in the grass in Mabe Village. In the original game, collecting 20 of these would give Link a sword upgrade.

The charm of Link’s Awakening on the Game Boy can’t be denied. Its profound story and memorable characters aren’t hindered by the system’s limitations.
