ive missed this twice haha super easy to mess up, definitely look at how to get these before attempting

Here's a guide for it: https://www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/Link%27s_Awakening_Photographs

Note that the first picture has two options, and you need both for all achievements, but only one of those two for the complete achievement (this one). When you get that first achievement, you should walk into the photo booth the first time, immediately save, then get them both done (the yes and the no options).

you can miss the marin pictures if you dont grab them and also one with richard if you open the gate.

So 11 photos for this achievement and just the game over picture for the other achievement?

I suppose the one you get when you steal something should be the last? Because if you steal something you will die if you enter the store again, losing the achievement of 0 deaths...

Answer to myself: no, you don't need to wait till the end. Just steal something and the achievement automatically triggers. Just reset the game after that.

You also don't really need to enter the shop after buying the bow, but it's not the best idea to turn the shop into a death trap for your entire game

I had some trouble with that one too. I just left and did other things for a while before returning

If anyone has a problem with the hook picture, go return the necklace first.

ok, here are some notes:

NONE of these trigger if you've not gone to the photographer's hut, first (x8,y13). i recommend doing this after level 1, and before level 2 (helpful, as you'll need to interact with photo 6).

there are a total of 13 pictures possible, but only 12 per save file. you do need all 12 to finish this.

1 or 1 - either accept to have your picture taken, or refuse 5 times continuously until the photographer bullies you into it (both of these are separate achievements as well, but you only need one of them to complete this: https://retroachievements.org/achievement/31931 + https://retroachievements.org/achievement/31932 )—HAS to be done first to "unlock" the photographer to be available for the rest.

2 - MISSABLE: between dungeons 3+4: you'll need marin to go to the southwest most corner (and cliff) of the map. (⅓ of https://retroachievements.org/achievement/201724, but you'll do the other ⅔'s to get this one)

3 - MISSABLE: between dungeons 3+4: you'll need to fall in the village well (south of the library), with marin. i don't think it matters if you've gotten the heart piece or not. this will also accomplish: https://retroachievements.org/achievement/201725

4 - MISSABLE: between dungeons 3+4: you'll need marin + you'll head over to the village's weathervane. just "touching" the weathervane will trigger it. this is ⅓ of https://retroachievements.org/achievement/201726

5 - as far as i'm aware, you can't lock yourself out of this one. simply walk up to the window behind grandma yahoo. (i think either window will work.)

6 - as long as bowwow's not stolen, and you're not currently "walking" him (in approach to level 2), i'm pretty sure you can do this any time by approaching him (or his post).

yourmom 27 Jan 2025 03:06

7 - pretty sure can be done any time, but HIGHLY ADVISABLE NOT to be done before purchasing the deluxe shovel. whether or not you do the bow, is up to you. this will cancel out: https://retroachievements.org/achievement/28828 , so you may wish to do this one last or late game (so you'll need a second run, or some save file swapping). the achievement is named for this photo, as everyone will call you THIEF after this, including the photo album.

8 - there's a myth the trading sequence is optional for link's awakening: spoiler: it's not. you can get this one revisiting the under bridge fisherman after getting the necklace from him (late sequence).

9 - one of the few differences between non-dx and dx: the invisible friendly zora in his puddle in ne animal village hut: available after finishing the trading sequence and retrieving the magnifying lens (https://retroachievements.org/achievement/201745)

10 - MISSABLE: you don't actually have to have visited richard or given kiki bananas to get this one, but NOT going to the gate and opening it from within will break your chances of getting it.

11 - BREAKABLE: if you're a sequence breaker, you can actually screw yourself out of this one, as you can cause the ghost not to show (face shrine/l-2 power bracelet screw with this). the ghost shows after beating level 4 and because you can't start another dungeon with it in tow, before level 5 (or 6 or 7 or 8). once you round trip him to his house (south of richard's) and his grave (west of graveyard) (achievement) leave one screen, return one screen, touch his grave and trigger.

12 - BREAKABLE: this auto-happens after beating level 7 (so you will have gotten the rooster, keys, and level 7 achievements, first). after beating eagle's tower, drop by hen house (good for him) to see him, the link wannabe, and the rooster's girlfriends, then equip the feather and bracelet and head 3 screens east past the bush. the photographer mouse will jump you when you u-turn west.

done + done.

I can't get the camera dude to show up at the gate. It's still closed but he won't appear to take a pic

OliviaWants2BePretty 14 Feb 2025 13:50

I think you have to talk to Richard first
