In the original game, it was possible to damage and kill both large and small flowers in the Goponga Swamp after obtaining the lvl 2 Koholint Sword obtained after giving 20 seashells to the Seashell Mansion.
The DX HD port Koholint sword has no effect on Goponga Swamp flowers and all attacks from it are nullified, same as lvl 1 sword attacks.
This bug does not apply to the beam attack projectiles from swinging the lvl 2 sword with full hearts. The beam attack itself does not damage the flowers in original or the port.
