The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Version 1.0) - Replace Starting Shield With... Game Genie Codes (USA, Europe)

This page contains the Game Genie codes I have for The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (USA, Europe), a game for the Game Boy handheld console. If you are playing on a physical Game Boy/GBC then you'll need to purchase a physical Game Genie device to use the codes that you find on this page.

For those of you who are using an Emulator such as the VisualBoy Advance, you can typically add cheats by clicking on a tab at the top of your Emulator. This will lead you to a section where you can add codes or edit existing ones. Anyone who is using the VisualBoy Advance should check out my How to Setup Codes for GB/GBC on the VisualBoy Advance Guide for more information on how to get these cheats working.

If you don't see the code you are looking for on this page you should return to my The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Version 1.0) Game Genie Codes and choose a different section.

 

Replace Starting Shield With: ??C-51B-F7A

 

Replace the ?? above with the Item you'd like to get instead of the Shield at the start of the game. Keep in mind that this can screw up the game sequencing depending on what you pick. You can still buy a shield in the shop later though and your Magic Powder, Bombs and Arrows will be 00 until you get the items required to use them.

00 - No Item
01 - Sword
02 - Bombs
03 - Power Bracelet
04 - Shield
05 - Bow
06 - Grappling Hook
07 - Wand
08 - Boots
09 - Ocarina
0A - Feather
0B - Shovel
0C - Magic Powder
0D - Boomerang
