[[File:Sea Urchin LA sprite.png|frame]]
In ''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening'' and the [[Game Boy Color]] port, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX]]'', Sea Urchins only appear on [[Toronbo Shores]]. They do not move around and only stay in one spot. If [[Link]] touches a Sea Urchin, he takes half of a [[heart]] in damage. At the start of his adventure, Link has to retrieve his [[Sword]] from Toronbo Shores. In order for him to pass the Sea Urchins without taking damage, he must push them forward using his [[Shield]]. After Link regains his sword, he can instantly defeat a Sea Urchin with a single strike from it.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Sea Urchins directly resemble [[wikirby:Gordo|Gordo]]s, a type of enemy in the ''[[wikirby:Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' series. The Sea Urchins' invincibility in ''Four Swords Adventures'' is closer to Gordos than their vulnerability in ''Link's Awakening''. By extension, they also resemble the original design of the [[mariowiki:Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] enemy [[mariowiki:Unibō|Unibō]] from ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins|Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', though their artwork is drastically different from the higher-resolution depictions of either Sea Urchins or Gordos.

*Sea Urchins also appear in ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario Maker|Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario Maker 2|Super Mario Maker 2]]'', using their ''Link's Awakening'' sprite. However, they are invincible. They replace [[mariowiki:Spike Trap|Spike Trap]]s in the ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario World|Super Mario World]]'' game style when underwater.
