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.
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.
