Sea Urchin

Sea Urchins are spiked animals living around the shores of Koholint Island. They can be passed by pushing them with the shield. It is required that the player uses his or her shield to move the Sea Urchin blocking the way to the sword. You can also use the sword or Boomerang to destroy them.

The Sea Urchin is another Mario reference, seeing how it looks nearly identical to the Sea Urchins in Super Mario World.
