If you save the game in
the room where you first
find the Big Cannon and
restart that save file,
you'll be in the Cannon
room but Midna will
prevent you from warping
out because Shad is
still looking at you. If
you try to leave the
room, Shad will ask you
where you think you're
going, preventing you
from leaving that way. A
quick sweep of the room
and Shad is nowhere to
be found, effectively
bricking your game save.
So, to be careful, don't
save in the Big Cannon
room!

To send the Postman
careening off the edge
of a cliff, leave
Kakariko Village from
the northern exit. When
you come to the rocky
bridge, hang off the
right side and sidle
your way past the first
sixth of its length.
Climb back up and run
past the end of the
bridge, hugging the
canyon edge as it wraps
around. Eventually, the
Postman will be
triggered and will run
right past you. In a
scene reminiscent of
Austin Powers 2, the
Postman will (after a
lengthy fall) hit the
ground and begin talking
to you. It's okay, I'm
alive! I've just broken
my legs.

When Hena tells you to
look around her Fishing
Cabin, she isn't just
making a passing
comment. By going into
first-person mode, you
can hear stories about
the people in her
photos. One of them is
the past owner of the
Fishing Hole, posing
with the Hero of Time's
Hylian Loach. If you
listen to what she has
to say, and then look at
her, she'll be
scratching her back the
same way he used to.
Also in the room is a
game called Roalgoal
which you can play by
looking at it. If you
finish level 1-8, you
can get the Frog Lure
which is used to catch
the Hylian Loach.
Outside, the seasons
change every time you
enter and exit the
Fishing Hole, and a
bottle can be caught by
fishing east of the
bridge.

Grottos can be found all
over Hyrule by using
Wolf Link's Sense
abilities. When found,
use Dig to enter them.
Most contain rupees, but
the odd few contain
Heart Containers!
|

|
|
When
the Golden Wolf teaches
you howls, he replicates
songs from Ocarina of
Time and Majora's Mask.
Another piece of
evidence that his true
identity is the Hero of
Time?

Remember the first
Twilight Princess
trailer when Link looked
like a complete badass
at the end as he
sheathed his sword?
After defeating a harder
enemy like a Stalfos,
press A to sheath your
sword without moving and
Link will perform that
classic move.
|
|
|
|
In the GameCube version,
you can backflip off
Epona by holding R and
then pressing A, which
you can do mid-gallop.
The same move is
available on the Wii
version by dismounting
when enemies are nearby.
|
|
|
|
In either version, run
at Epona from behind and
press A to jump onto her
back for an extra-quick
getaway.
|
|
|
|
While in Wolf form, you
can speak to Epona, who
will ask you to turn
back to your normal
form. Aww.
|
|
|
|
Normal bottled water can
be thrown at people for
different reactions. It
can also be used to grow
crops like pumpkins,
which will yield better
items when thrown.

Twilight Princess is,
amazingly, the first
Zelda game where Link
has had to open dungeon
doors by himself. To
think, the whole of
Hyrule would be doomed
if just one was stuck...
|
|

|
If you ask the Fortune
Teller to read your
fortunes, her chant is
different whether you
ask for Love or Career.
Read backwards, they
read "Please wait...
Loading takes awhile"
and "What am I talking
about".
|
|
|
|
Not so much. In past
Zelda games, hitting
Cuccos enough would
enrage them to the point
they'd call the Cucco
Revenge Squad, an elite
team of angry chickens
who would appear from
nowhere and peck you to
death. In Twilight
Princess, hitting a
Cucco enough will let
you control one for
about a minute. Useless,
but fun.

People these days so
rarely see the night
sky, it's nice to know
Nintendo are looking out
for us. Stars and
constellations are all
in the correct places,
of the correct colour
and brightness.
Beautiful.

The parrot outside of
the Forest Temple offers
a trust-payment scheme.
Dip a bottle or lantern
into one of the pots and
walk out without paying.
If you try to return,
he'll zap you and call
you a THIEF, a reference
to a similar scene in
Link's Awakening.
Likewise, there's a
Goron at the top of the
Outlook who tells you,
"It's a secret to
everybody!" a reference
to the original Legend
of Zelda game.

Continuing the time-old
tradition of Mario
references in Zelda
games is Fyer, the owner
of the Canon at the
bottom of Lake Hylia.
He's wearing a Bullet
Bill broach.

If you kill flocks of
Guays with your Bow,
rupees will shower from
the sky.

Agatha is one of the
more bizarre characters
of Twilight Princess,
asking you to bring her
bugs from all over the
world. Sometimes, she
can be found south of
Castle Town looking for
bugs in the gardens. If
you leave Agatha's
Castle with bugs you
haven't given her,
she'll make you more
than aware she knows.
How angry.

The Postman can be found
in random locations all
over Hyrule, including
Telma's Bar, the Cave of
Ordeals, Kakariko Inn,
Ordon Stables and behind
Rutela's throne. He
always seems to have
lost a letter; it's
amazing anything gets
delivered.
|
|
|
|
If you let the Ordon
Shield get burnt, you'll
never get it back. Its
only replacement is the
Wooden Shield, which is
just as susceptible to
fire.
|
|
|
|
If you light your
lantern in Barne's Bomb
Shop, he'll sanely tell
you off. If you do it
again, he'll extinguish
it through forcible
means!
|

|
During the final battle,
Link can throw his
fishing line in front of
Ganondorf's face,
leaving him confused for
a few crucial seconds,
allowing you to land
some crushing blows.
|
|
|
|
In the fight against
possessed Zelda, you can
perform the age-old
Zelda trick of
reflecting her light orb
attacks with an empty
bottle.

When you're showing the
kids how to swing a
sword at the start of
the game, they'll duck
if you try and show them
a little too closely, if
you catch my drift. Wink
wink. Nudge. Yeah.
|
|
|
|
When Talo asks you to
shoot at the pole from
far away in Kakariko
Village, you can try and
shoot at him and he'll
dodge your attack.
|
|
|
|
In Ocarina of Time,
shooting Epona would get
her to cry out. Now,
there's a fairly
disturbing thud to
accompany that neigh.
