She Sells Seashells by the Sea Sword

Twenty is all it takes. Maybe there's something there, and maybe there isn't. But if the idea is that the number's supposed to reflect an age, I don't think you'd get a dialogue box that tells you to put your name on it right away.

Yes, I'm talking about the sword upgrade you get from the Seashell Mansion in Link's Awakening.

Considering how blocky and rounded your first sword looks, the upgrade looks like it should be from another game. Maybe there's another connection between Link's Awakening and A Link to the Past here - perhaps the better sword's design is based on one of the Master Sword upgrades from that SNES classic.

The animation for getting it is the stuff of speed metal, as well. See for yourself:
