find 3 red rupees. To get down, either jump towards the
castle to enter the market, or play the Sun's Song
again. If you enter the castle, you'll have to play the
Sun's Song , Warp, or go to the castle grounds and wait
for day.

Barbecued Link - Play through your game as normal
until Ganon, the final boss. After you have knocked
Ganon down the first time, retrieve the master sword.
Get the master sword from Zelda but instead of going
back to face Ganon, go the opposite way and move away
from Ganon. There should be a piece of land that is near
Zelda which juts away from the floating arena. Move back
in it until you hit an invisible wall. Turn around in
place until you are facing Ganon and equip your bow and
arrow. Aim carefully and fire an arrow at Ganon's tail.
If the trick worked Ganon should get up and Link should
be engulfed in flames.
Beat Queen Gohama easily - When Queen Gohama climbs up
on the wall and on to the roof and tries to lay eggs you
can hit her in the eye with the sling shot and she will
fall and be paralyzed and ready to hit.
Beat the Shadow Temple Mini Boss - To beat the mini
boss in the Shadow Temple ( the one where hands grap you
and hold you in place until it bites you ), all you have
to do is use your lense of truth. When using it, look
for a shadow on the ground. When you see it, put a bomb
on it. The boss will then come up out of the ground and
you won't be hurt.
Big Bomb Bag - As a kid go to the bombchu game room in
Hyrule Town Market. Play a second time, if you win, you
will receive a bomb bag that can hold 30 bombs. If
you're not very good at bombachu bowling, here's another
way to get a bigger bomb bag. As young Link, go to Goron
City. There is a large Goron rolling around. Stop him
with a bomb, and he will give you a bigger bomb bag.
Boot Locations - To get the Hover Boots go to the
Shadow Temple as a adult and go through the invisible
wall in the first room and there will be more invisible
walls in the next room in one of them there will be a
door leading to a deadhand. Beat it to get the Hover
Boots. To get the Iron Boots beat the Ice Cavern.
Bottle Locations - Bottle #1:At Lon Lon Ranch, play
Talon's Super Cucco Game. When you win, you will receive
a bottle(1) with Lon Lon milk
Bottle #2: In Kakariko village, find all the cuccos and
return them to the pen, then talk to the lady standing
next to the pen, she will give you a bottle.
Bottle #3: At Lake Hylia (you must have the silver
scale), dive into the water to find a bottle and a
letter.
Bottle #4: As adult Link, go to the market and talk to
the ghost person in the house directly to the left as
you enter. Go outside and collect poes, once you collect
1000 points, the ghost will give you a bottle.
Chicken Attack - Any fan of the old Zelda games will
have figured this one out already:
Attack a chicken repeatedly with your sword and it will
call for backup. Soon, tons of chickens will flap around
on screen, trying to give Link that same fuzzy "Birds"
feeling as in Hitchcock's famous movie.
Simply leave the room or area to stop the chicken
attack.
Creating Music with the Ocarina - You can get even
more detailed in the music you play with the ocarina
with these extra tips. To play flat notes, hold Z while
playing a note. To play sharp notes, hold R while
playing a note. To vary the pitch on a note, use the
Control Stick. Try it out and compose your own
masterpieces!
Cure a Wounded Sign - If you slash a sign to
smithereens, you can put it back together by playing
Zelda's lullaby on your ocarina. The sign will magically
recreate itself in front of your eyes.
Easy Way to Beat Mirror Link - If you use the Megaton
Hammer against mirror link he won't be able to mirror
your attacks.
End Game Song - At the VERY end of the game, after the
entire ending, when it says "The End" and freezes the
frame, if you leave it on for awhile, it'll start
playing the song you made up for the scarecrow. Wait
another minute or so and it'll play it again in a
different octave or different instrument. It does this
about 4-6 times and then stops. No biggie, just another
little "easter egg" Miyamoto dropped in there.
Epona Item Code - Play through the game until you get
to Gannon. Then after he knocks the Master Sword out of
Link's hands, save & quit. When you start at Gannon's
Castle, Leave and go get on Epona in Hyrule Field. Even
though the icons are not there, you can use any item you
have equipped. (If you use the long shot and it latches
on to something, you can fly through anything and
everything. Whenever, and wherever you want!). NOTE:
This only works on the GOLD cartridge version of the
game (v1.0), other versions (1.1 and 1.2) do not allow
this trick.
Extra Bottles - To get extra bottles go to a place
where there are fish swimming in a shallow pool, like
the hole behind the potion shop in Kokariko Villiage, or
Zora's fountain. Equip a bottle, and swap at a fish.
When he is in mid-swap pause it and equip something
useless in the bottle's place and it will turn into a
bottle. DON'T use something important, because you might
not be able to get it back. NOTE: The bottles will
appear in your equipment screen, but you may not be able
to use them.
Finding Gold Skulltulas - Before planting a Magic Bean
in a mound of soft dirt, empty a jar of bugs (you can
buy them for 50 rupees at Hyrule Market or just find
them under rocks) on top of the mound. Catch one of the
bugs immediately afterwards so you don't have to find or
buy more of them. After one of the bugs goes into the
mound of dirt, a Gold Skulltula will jump out, except
for the mound right next to the bean selling guy.
Free Cow - If you return to Lon Lon Ranch after you
get Epeona, Malon will challenge you to a race. If you
beat 50 sec. shell say what she wants to give you
something but it is too heavy to carry. If you return to
your house there is a cow in it!
Free Fish - Instead of buying a fish for Lord Jabbu
Jabbu (Which is nearly imposible), Just catch one with a
bottle right next to the shop. I know this trick is
obvious, but some people just don't think!
Free Hylian Shield - You must NOT have the Hylian
Shield already for this trick to work. Go to Kakiriko
Graveyard at nightime as a kid and pull back the grave
with flowers in the first row of graves. Jump in the pit
and open the chest inside.
NOTE: If you already have the Hylian Shield, the chest
will contain a blue rupee.
Free Lon Lon Milk - If you have an empty bottle, stand
in front of any cow and play "Epona's Song". The cow
will feel energetic and fill your bottle up with Lon Lon
Milk for free!
Fun with Gossip Stones - When you are able to use
bombs find a gossip stone. Place a bomb at the base of
the stone. When the smoke clears the stone should flash
blue twice, red once and then blast off. Also when you
get the megaton hammer from the fire temple find a stone
and give it a good wallop and the stone will flatten
like a pancake. Don't worry if you send the stone into
space it will come back when you exit the room. When you
flatten the stone it should bounce back to its normal
shape in a couple of seconds.
Fun with the Fisherman's Hat - As adult Link, you can
hook the fisherman's hat. Just aim at him, then cast. It
may take a few tries to find the right place. You'll see
that he has gone bald! Now for something totally new.
When you have the hat, cast it into the pond. If you
cast enough, the hat will come off the hook and sink.
The fisherman will charge you 50 rupees for a
replacement. But he never gets one. The fisherman will
remain without a hat for the rest of the game.
Getting the Biggoron Sword - Here is what you need to
get and do to receive the Biggoron Sword. This is a
great sword since it cuts swings to death practically in
half. Some have time limits and don't warp or else it
will reduce time and you need Epona for this. Use the
same carrot method when you beat Ingo for this.
How to read: When you read one line, that tells you
where you give a certain item to a person (e.x.,Corjiro
you get from Kakariko Village from the Cucco Girl). The
next line shows you where you give the item you obtained
from the previous line to and where the person is.
Pocket Egg-Cucco Girl (Kakariko Village) (Note: Make him
happy by waking up Talon and then go back to Cucco
Girl)
Corjiro-Brother of Cucco Girl (Lost Woods)
Odd Mushroom-Mother behind potion shop (Kakariko
Village)
Odd Potion-Kokiri Girl (Lost Woods)
Poacher's Saw-Carpender (Gerudo Valley)
Goron's Sword-Biggoron (Death Mountain)
Prescription-King Zora (Zora's Domain)
Eyeball Frog-Professor (Lake Hylia)
Eye Drops-Biggoron (Death Mountain)
You will receive a claim check after step 9. Play the
Sun's Song 6 times or wait three days to get the
Biggoron Sword. Believe me, it's worth all that work!
Golden Scales - Go to the fishing hut when Link is an
adult. If you can catch a 15 pound fish you'll receive
golden scales. These let you dive to 8 meters.
Great Faerie Locations - Magic Spin Slash: On Top of
Death Mountain, there is sign, to the left looks like a
door, BOMB it to find a door. Din's Fire: In Hyrule
castle, once you enter climb up the vines, jump of the
gate and run foward, there should be a sign, go past it
and use a BOMB to blow up the rock. Farore's Wind: At
Zoras Fountain, go to the right once you enter, there is
a island with trees and rocks, go there, use a BOMB on
the rock on the wall, then run into the cave. Double
magic meter: Play the Bolero of Fire on the Ocarina,
then go across the bridge that leads to the Leader Goron,
instead of going into his chamber, go left, equip your
MEGATON HAMMER and break the rock. Double Energy
(Adult): Once you leave the market going towards Ganons
Castle, go right, run until you see a bunch of rocks, go
past them and you will see a big column, use your GOLD
GAUNTLETS to lift it.
Great Golden Gauntlets - To get the golden gauntlets
you must go to Ganon's Tower and go into the shadow
room. Once there get to the platform past the guy that
steels your stuff when he sucks you in. Once on the
platform you must shoot the un-lit torch or lite it
somehow and there should be a pathway that leads down to
a switch, press it, a chest sould fall from the cieling,
go back up, dont worry if you fall you can come back and
the chest should still be there.
Hidden Gold Rupees - Don't wait until you have 100
Gold Skulltulas to get the golden Ruppee, get it as soon
as you get bombs. As either Link, go to Kakariko
Village. Right when you walk in there is that tree in
the middle. Well take about 10 paces directly behind
that tree, you should be in the center of a somewhat
open area in the town. (If you have the Stone of Agony,
you will feel it rumble.) Place a bomb there and back
away, when it explodes there will be a hole in the
ground and kill the two mummies with the Song of the Sun
and your sword. A treasure chest will appear with a
golden ruppee inside. Another gold rupee is hidden in
the boulder chamber in Goron City. Stay on the left side
of the chamber that destroys the rocks. When you get to
the end of the line of rocks there should be a gold
rupee. In the same chamber there should also be a purple
rupee.
For a third, get to the bottom of the well and defeat
Dead Hand. Now grab the Lens of Truth and equip it and
look for a small chest behind the one you just opened.
Open it to reveal a golden rupee.
Hidden Red Fairies (Gossip Stone) - Low on energy?
Find a Gossip Stone (the cycloptic rocks that giggle
when you hit them) and play one of the following three
songs next to it: Zelda's Lullaby, Epona's Song, or Song
of Storms. Either touch the red fairy that flies out to
fill up your energy or catch it in a bottle so that it
can revive you if you die.
How to get Epona the Horse - Getting Epona can be very
tricky at times. This guide will help you beat Mr Igno.
Learn Epona's Song. As Young Link talk to Malon in the
horse corral in Lon Lon Ranch after meeting Princess
Zelda. Talk to her again and show her your ocarina and
she'll teach you Epona's Song. Become Adult Link and get
at least 70 rupees.
Talk to Mr. Ingo outside the corral at Lon Lon Ranch and
pay 10 rupees to ride the horse. Instead of getting on
the horse provided, play Epona's Song and Epona will run
up to you. Ride her around the corral to practice. Wait
until the time is up.
Talk to Mr. Ingo again and pay to ride again. Play
Epona's Song and get on Epona. This time, walk up to Mr.
Ingo while on Epona and use Z Targeting to talk to him.
He'll challenge you to a race with a 50 rupee wager. Win
the race against Mr. Ingo. He'll challenge you to a
second race. Win again and you'll get Epona.
Use the A button to get Epona running really fast and
jump over any fence to escape the ranch.
Race Tips: Racing Mr. Ingo can be tough. Here's how to
win. Hold forward on the control stick as soon as the
race begins. Use 1 carrot (push A to use a carrot) and
wait for it to come back before using it again to keep
up with Mr. Ingo. Hug the fence and wait for him to move
out of your way. Then use up all the carrots you have
EXCEPT ONE to speed Epona up and pass him. Wait until a
second carrot appears and use it, then keep doing this
to keep ahead of Mr. Ingo. NEVER USE YOUR LAST CARROT!
Just keep using the second-to-last carrot. If you use
the last one you'll slow down big time and lose.
Mad Soldier - You know that in the castle courtyard
there are the pictures, right? Well, there's also a
soldier that's there. Go to the window opposite of the
window with pictures. Use your slingshot and shoot in
the window. A soldier will peek out, say something, and
throw a bomb at you. It's not a useful trick, but it's
pretty funny to see.
Magic Arrows - Fire Arrow - In Lake Hylia, walk across
the bridges to get to the tree. Play the Ocarina to make
it night time. Equip your bow. Play the flute again,
then shoot the sun.
Ice Arrow - In the Gerudo training course, you must
collect keys. When you have at least 5, walk into the
door in front of the entrance, and use all the keys to
make a path. In the big chest you will find the Ice
Arrow.
Light Arrow - When you get all of the medallions, go to
the Temple of Time. You will find Zelda and she will
give it to you.
Magic Bean Square Locations, Here's the locations of the
Magic Bean Squares.
Lake Hylia by the laboratory.
Desert Colossus by the temple.
Gerudo Valley by the bridge.
To the left of the entrance bridge to Kokiri Forest.
By the Kokiri shop.
Lost woods - trail to it: right, left, right, left, and
left.
Zora's river by the bean selling man.
Kokariko graveyard at the top-back-left corner.
Death mountain trail at the foot of dodongo cavern.
Play the Bolero of Fire to warp into the death mountain
crater and the square will be right near the point of
arrival.
Multiply Bugs - Got a few empty bottles to fill with
bugs? Here's an easy way to get multiple bugs without
having to go look for them. You need one bug to start
off with, commonly found under rocks or by bumping into
trees. Catch the bug in a bottle. Now empty the bottle
out again. Voila, three bugs will come out -- now you
can fill three of your bottles.
Navi's Hints - Be sure to keep an eye on your fairy
companion at all times. When Navi turns green and flies
over to a spot, it's usually an indication that there is
something hidden there. If you don't feel a rumble from
the Stone of Agony, then it's most likely a red fairy
(refreshes health and magic). Play the Song of Storms or
Zelda's Lullaby, to lure it out. In some occasions, Navi
also points out potential "scarecrow" spots and hidden
caves.
Red Fairies Galore! - In Lake Hylia go to where the
owl is sitting between the two bridges. Talk to him.
After you talk to him run away so he doesn't take you to
the castle. Go back to where he was. Then go behind the
piece of stone and pull it. Go in the hole and there
will be about 20 red fairies!
Save the Ranch and Get Animals - As a kid go to Lon
Lon Ranch. Talk to Malon and she'll teach you a song.
Play it to Epona and she'll grow fond of you. Then
become an adult. Go to Lon Lon Ranch and pay Mr. Indigo
to ride a horse. Then when you're in there, play Epona's
song. Epona will run up to you and you ride her for a
minute. Then pay him again, get on epona, ride to Mr.
Indigo and speak to him. He'll ask if you want to race,
say yes. Beat him twice. Then he'll lock you in the
ranch. All you have to do is jump over the gate. To get
the cow go back to the ranch and talk to Malon. She
should ask if you want to do the obstacle course, say
yes, and if you break the record you get a cow.
Scarecrow Song - When you go to Lake Hyrule as young
Link, show your Ocarina to the scarecrow. He will ask
you to play a song, so create one of exactly 8 notes and
remember it. Show and play the song back to the other
scarecrow. Come back to the lake as adult Link and play
the song to the first scarecrow and you will learn the
scarecrow song.
Secret Pictures in Zelda's Courtyard - Go to the
courtyard where you first meet Zelda . Look in the
windows, and in one of them you will see some pictures
of some familiar video game characters!
Secret of Butterflies - Ever wonder what secret the
harmless little butterflies are hiding that flutter
about Hyrule? As young Link, take out a stick and find
some butterflies. Slowly follow them until one touches
the stick -- which, tadaaaa: turns it into a red fairy.
Use a bottle to catch it or touch it to be healed
instantly.
Shortcuts Through the Lost Woods - To Get Through The
Lost Woods Quickly, Follow These Directions: Go Right,
Left, Right, Left, Straight, Left, Right.
To Get To Goron City Quickly From Kokri Forest, Take The
First Right, Then a Left, And Go Straight.
NOTE: You Must Have Already Been To Goron City And Blown
Up the Boulders Covering the Path.
Skulltula Rewards - Kill the following numbers of
Skulltula Spiders and receive the items below:
10: Adult Wallet (holds 200 rupees)
20: Stone of Agony (hidden rumblings)
30: Giant Wallet (holds 500 rupees)
40: Bombchu (climbs up walls)
50: Piece of Heart
100: Gold Rupee (see "Unlimited Money")
Stone of Agony - Please note that you must have the
Rumble Pak for this secret to happen. Once you aquire
the Stone of Agony, equip it, and every time Link
approaches an important item in the game, the Stone of
Agony will beat real hard the closer you get to the
important item. It is basically a little note that your
approaching something good.
Super Cuccoo Game Cheat - This should make it a lot
easier to catch the Super Cuccoos. As young Link, go to
Lon Lon Ranch and enter the first door on the left. The
sleeping guy (Talon?) will be there in a room full of
chickens. Grab and toss all the chickens into the corner
of the room where the bottom of the staircase is. The
chickens will get stuck there and won't roam as much.
Now go and play the Super Cucco game. He'll toss his
three "super chickens" into the room. An easy win, now
that all the other chickens are stuck in the corner. The
prize: A full bottle of Lon Lon milk.
Travel Hyrule Fields Safely - Are you getting annoyed
at the skeletons that pop out of the ground at night
when you're walking around in the Hyrule Fields? Ever
tried camouflaging yourself as local wildlife? For
example, try putting on the rabbit mask you get at the
mask shop and you will be able to run around freely
without the annoying undead attackers. Note: You need to
be young Link to wear masks.
Tunic Locations - To get the Goron Tunic go to Goron
City as an adult and stop the little goron rolling on
the 3rd floor with a bomb. Talk to him about the dragon
and the gorons and he will give you the Goron Tunic. To
get the Zora Tunic go to Zora's Domain as an adult and
unthaw King Zora with a bottle of Blue Fire from the Ice
Cavern or the Potion Shop.
Unbreakable Deku Sticks - To get an unbreakable Deku
Stick you must do the following:
Get a lot of Deku Sticks. Equip a Deku Stick. Do the
Jumping Slash Attack on an object and either hit the tip
or middle of the stick. The stick will break in half and
you will keep one half which is invincible and is twice
is strong than Link's normal sword.
Unlimited Gold Skulltillas - First you need to get
bombs, the song of storms and bomerang. First go to
hyrule castle if you jump in the moat so the guards
won't see you. Drift until you see a shallow corner,
climb up and you will see a tree. play the song of
storms. A hole will open up, jump down. There will be
several walls that can be blown down with a bomb. On of
these has a gold skulltilla behind it. BE CARFUL, first
kill the bug then stand right in front of the circle
that sends you back to the surface. Next, throw the
bomerang at the token as soon as it hit's the token step
back on the circle. You will be back at the surface. If
you did this right the gold skulltilla should still be
there. Repeat this process until you have 100 or more.
Unlimited Money - For some reason everyone is
disappointed because all you get for finding 100
skulltulla tokens is 200 rupees. Well, actually, it's
infinite. Once you get the first huge rupee, you can
come back whenever you want and get another one. I don't
know why no one else has noticed this yet...
Unlimited Money, method 2 - As your name, type in:
morup. Get a gold rupee and the code will take effect.
Unlimited Skulltta Coins Glitch - As a kid go to the
tree close to where you found Talon the first time, by
the castle. Go to the tree nearby and play the song of
storms close to the tree. Bomb the walls until you find
the gold skulttatta. kill it and move close to the
portal. Grab the coin with the boomerang and step up
right before it comes to you. The word "you" or "you
des" will be displayed. Do this as many times as you
like.
Newer Version
Hidden pictures - Go to where Zelda is met for the
first time. Then, look into the window on his left, as
you enter. Pictures of Yoshi, Princess Toadstool,
Mario, Bowser and Luigi can now be seen. Look from
different angles to see them all. Throw something into
the window with Mario to receive 20 rupees. Throwing
something into the other window will result in a lit
bomb being thrown back at Link.
Fun songs - Besides using the Ocarina for songs Link
is supposed to play in the game, use the following
directions to play useless, but fun songs.
Theme from The Simpsons - C-Down, C-Right, C-Left,
C-Up, Analog-stick Down + C-Up, Analog-stick Down +
C-Left, C-Down, A, [Z + Analog-stick Down + A] three

Extra rupees - In Koriki Forest, the starting town, go
by the shop and jump on the blocks that lead to it to
get 5 rupees. Enter in the shop, come back out, and jump
on the blocks again to collect more money. There is a
door to the right before entering the market. Enter to
find some vases and boxes that contain rupees. After
collecting the money, exit, then re-enter the room.
Search the vases and boxes again to collect the rupees
again. When first entering Hyrule Castle, there is a
door that resembles the background. Enter and smash all
the pots to collect about fifty rupees. Leave the room
and return to collect all the rupees again. After
collecting all the chickens in Kakariko village for the
first time, keep repeating that process to collect 50
rubies each time.
Shoot the signs in Gerudo Fortress with a little moon on
them with your hookshot for 20 rupees. Go to the front
of the marketplace during the day. Walk up to the
chains holding the drawbridge all the way to the top.
Then, turn and jump off. As Link falls, 20 rupees may be
collected. Walk over the other side and repeat for even
more rupees.
Fairy fountain locations - After getting the Goron's
Bracelet and the Bomb Bag, search Hyrule Field for
suspicious looking boulders for a fairy fountain. In the
same tomb where a Hylian Shield is found, destroy the
wall to find a fairy fountain. On the way to Zora's
Domain, move along the green shores of Zora'a
River. Bomb a boulder at this location to discover a
fairy fountain beneath it. When leaving the Sacred
Forest meadow, a ladder will appear on a hedge. This
leads to a clearing that contains a boulder. A fairy
fountain is under the boulder. In the watery paradise of
Zora's Domain, play the Song of Storms to open a hole in
a platform. The hole leads to a fountain below. In the
dry desert after playing the Song of Storms, a hole will
open up in the ground that will lead to a fairy
fountain.

"spin slash" attack. She is located at Death Mountain,
outside the crater to the left of the entrance, behind
a bomb-able wall.
Great fairy of wisdom - This Great fairy doubles
Link's magic meter. She is located inside the Death
Mountain crater. Face the entrance to Goron City (inside
the crater). A bridge will be to the right. Use the
megaton hammer (obtained after passing the Fire Temple)
to destroy the rocks blocking the entrance. Bombs will
have no effect.
Great fairy of courage - This Great fairy doubles
adult Link's defensive powers. She is located near
Ganon's castle. Obtain the Golden Gauntlets inside
Ganon's castle. Use them to lift the column that is
blocking the entrance, which is to the right, when
facing Ganon's tower.

Love" spell.
Trading all the masks
Fox Mask - Royal Guard at the edge of Kakariko Village
on the way up to Death Mountain.

play Saria's Song. The Skull Kid will then ask Link for
the mask.

Kakariko Village.

Hints, tips, and tricks
Finding Saria - To find Saria, go to the Lost Woods
and move in the following directions: Right, Left,
Right, Left, Center, Left, Right.
Finding the Giant's Knife - Go to Goron City as young
Link. On one of the floors is a wall that appears
questionable. Blow it up, then keep destroying the other
walls behind it. Talk to the big may to learn that he is
working on a weapon. Return as older Link to receive the
Giant's Knife.
Finding Nayru's Love - Nayru's Love is a protective
barrier that helps Link withstand damage. It can be
found by blowing up the crack between the two palm trees
in Desert Colossus.
Finding a bag that holds 40 seeds - Go to the Lost
Woods. After entering, turn right and continue forward
to a ledge with a fence and ladder to the left. A metal
circular object will be suspended from a tree at this
location. Shoot it three times exactly in the center
with the slingshot and to receive the bag. A "100" will
flash when your shot hits the center. You must score
"100" three times in a row.
Finding Gold Skulltulas - Hunt only at night because
that is the time that the Gold Skulltulas appear. Some
appear while Link is a child and some appear while he is
an adult. A few appear during both these times. The
Skulltulas like dirt patches, where the magic beans may
be planted. Use a bottle of bugs to surface the spiders.
Nine of the ten spots contain a Skulltula. Some like to
hide in trees, so check them with a roll attack. It is
wise to check most trees because most all of them have a
good prize such as bombs or rupees if not a gold
Skulltula. The Skulltulas can be in slingshot range many
times, but require a boomerang to retrieve the token.
They also love to hide in crates, so use the roll attack
to break them.
Getting Gold Skulltulas - Capture a bug in a bottle
and drop them on some soft soil, where Link would put
some Magic Beans. Then, a Gold Skulltula will appear.
Kill it and get your new found token. This works on all
of them except the soft soil spot right next to the man
that sells the Magic Beans.
Getting the Biggest Quiver - Enter the archery game as
an adult after getting the Gerudo Membership Card. It
costs 20 rupees to play, but is worth it. Play the first
time and get 1,000 points and to receive a Heart
Container. Play the game a second time and get 1,500
points and to receive the Biggest Quiver, which holds up
to fifty arrows. When starting the archery game, aim for
the bullseye and fire to get 100 points each time. Also
shoot at the target at the end. When you come around the
end target, aim for the clay jars. Shoot them to collect
100 points per jar. Keep getting 100's on the targets
and successfully shoot all the clay jars to get the
required 1,500 points for the Biggest Quiver.
Unlimited money - Go to the Lost Woods and find the
Skull Kid who is alone as adult Link. Then, lock onto
and kill him, and he will give you 200 rupees. Enter
a door, return, and repeat the process to collect an
unlimited amount of money.
Money from trees - Run at a tree as young Link and
press A to roll and slam into it. Then, a skulltula or
some rupees will usually fall out.
Breaking open boxes - To break open a regular brown
wooden box, just run at it and press A. Link will roll
and smash open the box. This is useful when finding all
the chickens and to get a Skulltula in the Marketplace
room with the pots.
Easiest and ultimate ruby collection - Go to the
drawbridge in front of the marketplace during the day
and run up to the top of one of the chains. Wait for
night to arrive (or play the Sun's Song). Carefully run
across the bridge to collect three red rubies worth an
easy 60 rupees. Play the Sun's Song again to lower
the drawbridge. Go into the market and come back out
again to repeat the trick.
Rupees with Bunny Mask - After completing the Forest
Temple, return to the Temple of Time. Drop the Master
Sword back into the stone to change back to Young Link.
Go to the mask shop and make sure Link can borrow the
Bunny Mask. Link should also
have the Giant's Wallet (that holds 500 rupees) for this
trick to be most effective. Thirty Gold Skulltulas
should also have been collected, and Link should have
talked to one of the kids in the house in Kakariko Village
that has the curse on them to get the wallet. Buy as
much as possible with the current amount of rupees. Go
to Hyrule Field and run to the right, towards Lon Lon
Ranch. Run until a man running around like an idiot
comes into view. Follow him until he sits down and gets
tired. Wear on the Bunny Mask and talk to him. He will
ask for the mask and fill Link's wallet with rupees.
Purple rupees - Kill any enemy with the light arrows
to receive a purple rupee.
Illegal Fishing Lure (Sinking Lure) - Use the
following steps to get a better fishing lure that can
catch more fish. As an adult, walk to the log that is
sticking out in the pond. Walk around on it awhile to
find a sinking lure, that can catch fish almost every
time. Note: The lure may only be used once, and if used
to catch a record weight fish, the counterman will not
give Link a prize. The sign on the tank will also be
marked with "With illegal fishing lure."
Get Fire and Ice arrows - After completing the water
temple, go to Lake Hylia. Play the Sun Song at plaque
near the warp point (serenade of water) to make the sun
rise. As soon as this happens, shoot the sun with an
arrow and fire arrows will appear. To get ice arrows,
complete the Geurdo training center.
Free Lon Lon Milk - Approach any cow with an empty
bottle and play Epona's Song. The song will remind the
cow of the pasture, and will give Link free milk.
Ocarina flats and sharps - Hold R and press one of the
Ocarina playing buttons to make a sharp note, or Z to
make a flat.
Fix a broken sign - After slashing a sign and breaking
it, play Zelda's Lulluby while standing in front of the
pieces.
Chicken attack - As in previous games in the series,
if Link approaches a chicken and hurts it in some way,
it will call for others to attack. The attack can
be stopped by entering a door or leaving the area.
Kill the Rolling Goron - To kill the giant rolling
Goron in Goron City, bomb him around ten times. After
the ninth bombing, he will grunt and the other Goron's
will run out to kill you.
Gossip Stone blast off - Drop a bomb near a Gossip
Stone to have it blast off into space.
Stretch a Gossip Stone - Hit a Gossip Stone with the
hammer.
Before opening the Door Of Time - After collecting the
3 Spiritual Stones, Navi will urge Link to go to
the castle. Before doing so, try to collect all the
hearts and the Gold Skulltula tokens and get the master
sword. Gandorf will take the Triforce and turn Link into
a adult making half the heart pieces and Gold Skulltulas
inaccessible.
Free Fairies - Play Zelda's Lullaby in front of a
Gossip Stone and they will give you a free Fairy. Play
the Song of Storms in front of a Gossip Stone and it
will give you a Big Fairy. Get a butterfly to land on a
Deku stick and it will turn into a Fairy. Slowly walk
towards the butterfly with a Deku Stick out; this
requires patience. Play the Song of Storms near a soft
patch of soil with a Magic Bean planted. It will grow
and produce three regular Fairies.
Malon's obstacle course - Return to Lon Lon Ranch
after getting Talon to go back home (by waking him up
with the Cucco the girl in Kakariko Village gives Link).
Complete Malon's obstacle course as an adult (talk to
her while on Epona) in under fifty seconds. If
successful, she'll give Link a cow. It will be at
his house in Kokiri Forest. Use it to get Lon Lon Milk
by playing Epona's Song in front of the cow.
Easy way past the Geurdo - To knock out a Geurdo
thief, simply shoot her with an arrow. To freeze her,
use the hookshot or longshot.
Ending bonus - Successfully complete the game and wait
at the "The End" screen. Eventually, the Scarecrow's
Song will begin playing with different instruments.
Frozen Zora's Domain - Zora's Domain will be frozen
when playing as an adult. There is no way to thaw it.
Getting Biggoron's Sword - Use the following long
trading sequence as an adult to get Biggoron's Sword. Go
to the lady that gave young Link the empty bottle, when
her Cuccos were rescued. She will give Link a Pocket
Cucco egg. Wait for the egg to hatch, then bring it to
Talon in Kakariko Village. Bring the Cucco back to the
lady, to receive Cojiro, the Blue Cucco. Go to the Lost
Woods, then turn right at the entrance. Give Cojiro to
the man to receive an Odd Mushroom, which will spoil if
too much time is wasted. Rush to the Potion shop in
Kakariko Village, then go left into the room. Run into
the shop to the right, then give the Mushroom to the
lady at that location. She will give Link an Odd Potion.
Hurry back to the Lost Woods. The man will be gone, but
a Kokiri will be here. Give the Potion to her to receive
the Poacher's Saw. Ride the horse to Gerudo Valley.
There is a broken bridge here, so whip Epona to jump it.
Give the saw to the carpenter that is outside to receive
Biggoron's Broken Sword. Go to the top of
Death Mountain, then walk to the right. Biggoron will
appear, rubbing his eyes. He has an eye infection and
will give link a Prescription. Bring the Prescription to
King Zora after he has been unfrozen to receive
the Eyeball frog, an ingredient for the Eyedrops. Hurry
to the Lakeside Laboratory at Lake Hylia and give the
Eyeball Frog to the Old Man. He will give Link the
Eyedrops. Hurry back up to the Death Mountain Summit and
ive the Eyedrops to Biggoron. After using them, he will
give Link a Claim Check. Wait three days (play the Sun's
Song six times to quickly pass the time), give him back
the Claim Check to receive Biggoron's Sword. This weapon
is twice as powerful as the Master Sword, and will not
break like the Giant's Knife. Note: If Link is late
during any of the time-sensitive parts of the trade, the
game will restart back at the person you need to give
the item to, and will cost you ten rupees, but will
allow another try. Ocarina songs may not be used to
teleport to a location during the trade.
