Don't get why Nintendo added 26 shells if all you needed to upgrade was 20. Luckily for me I've played this along time ago so I remember those two sneaky ones you get as prize #6 and #11 from Shell Mansion.

I know some are missable but I don't think enough are missable that there are 26 shells. I think finding them is pretty fun though.

Oh definitely, currently got 23 and I'm up to the 6th Dungeon. So I think I gotta wait. I'm literally play two saved files at once. Since I learned about the No Deaths Achievement I had to start over. But I have a new strategy..

GAME 1: Red Link may die but NEVER gets hit by any bosses. GAME 2: Blue Link may get hit but NEVER dies. This way I'll get both achievements without having to worry about juggling both at once.

Fuck this achievement - didn't realize two of the shells we're rewards for collecting more shells.

I have only 25 Seashells. The 26th can be found on Castle Kanalet where you need the flying Rooster. Two others are possible to miss it, can get on the Seashell House where you get the Level 2-Sword.

for anyone doing this visit the Seashell Mansion when you have 5 and 10 seashells, these bonus shells are missable + when you have the flying/legendary rooster visit Kanalet Castle this one is also missable.

Whoops. I should've checked the list of missable shells before going for this cheevo. Now I gotta start another file from the beginning just to re hunt for the shells! :'(

BTW, when you get 20 seashells DON'T GO GET THE LVL 2 SWORD, otherwise the 6 remaining seashells disappears, learned it the hard way

Thanks for the info guys!

Oh my god, I went and got the lvl.2 sword before getting all the shells.
What have I done.
So much time wasted, this is infuriating. :(

Worst achievement

What a nightmare, just make it so you have to get the sword. Not even hard, just screws you over for not looking it up beforehand which just like most other achievements in this set ruins the point of figuring it out yourself (unless you really want to waste a lot of time replaying the game over and over)
