In Link's Awakening, the shovel is called the Deluxe Shovel, but is exactly the same as other shovels. It is available in the Town Tool Shop for 200 Rupees. It can be used to uncover many objects from the ground and is required to dig up the Slime Key in Pothole Field. In the Nintendo Switch remake, Link can also dig up a Warp Portal with the shovel near the Seashell Mansion.

In Oracle of Seasons, Link obtains the shovel by falling into a woman's home (via chimney) during the winter. The house is located in the east, near the second dungeon.

Oracle of Ages

In Oracle of Ages, Link finds the shovel in the tower of Lynna Village in the past at the start of the game. It is given to him by a soldier. It is required to explore the city, as dirt has ruptured everywhere thanks to the on-going construction.

The Shovel in Four Swords Adventures is often used to reveal hidden holes leading to secret passages in the ground or reveal items. Some spots will spout Force Gems when dug into.

If the Links upgrade the Shovel at a Great Fairy Fountain, it will play a sound around areas where things are hidden.[3]
