This trick must be
performed before you
attempt any Swordless
Link tricks.
Unfortunately, it only
works with earlier
versions of the game.
In
the final fight with Ganon, wait
for him to smack away your Master
Sword outside the ring of fire.
When you no longer have it, save
your game and reset. Play your
saved game again and without your
sword and you will have a Deku Stick (warning,
don't press B to swing the
Deku Stick as the game will
crash).
|
|
|
|
Go to Hyrule Field during the day
and get on Epona (call her with
your Ocarina if you need to). Then
ride to Lon Lon Ranch and take up
the obstacle course. Dismount
Epona and play the Song Of Storms.
Enjoy!

If
you enter the Gerudo Horse
Archery training after you've
got the Gerudo member's card, ride down
to the end of the course. There is a long fence in front of
the bottles and the 3 large
targets. Line Epona up with this
so she's facing it long ways i.e.
the thin end. From a moderate
distance, ride up to it at full speed
and Epona will jump onto the fence
just like a cat. Magic! However
although it is possible to get
down, it took me a long time, so
if you are going to do this save
it first so you can restart.
|
|
|
Go
to Lon Lon Ranch with Epona where
the horses graze. There are two
metal fences. Ride Epona slowly up
to the larger gate so
her head is just leaning
over it. Dismount and
watch her for a while.
When she rears, her head
will come down through
the gate. You
will evidently get more amusing
effects if you put her
head over one of the
spikes coming out of the
fence.
|
|
|
While riding Epona, try
barrelling into a sign. You can play Zelda's
Lullaby to have it reform in front
of your eyes.
|
|
|
It
seems like the only thing stopping
you from using any weapon while
you are on Epona is the fact that
you have the Master Sword. Get rid
of it using the
Swordless Link trick
above, and saddle up Epona. There are many different
tricks you can pull while on her,
here are a few.
-
If you use either the Ocarina Of
Time or Deku Nuts while on Epona,
you shall dismount, but you then
can control both Link and Epona.
-
If you take up the Lon Lon Racing
Challenge, you can turn everything
a purple colour by playing your
ocarina while riding.
-
If you talk to Saria by playing
Saria's song, you'll float a little
way above Epona, but you can still
ride as usual.
-
If you use Deku Nuts, then fire
the Longshot, and then use Deku
Nuts again, you can run around in
first person view.

This trick must be
performed before you
attempt any Hyrule
Castle Bank tricks.
In the Hyrule Castle Grounds,
where all the guards are, go to
the sign that says 'Dead End' in
orange writing (near the entrance
to the Fairy Fountain, or a big
boulder if you haven't blown it up
yet). There is, to your left, a
thin corner where the two polygons
of the bank walls meet. Take a
look at what the polygons look
like from the side, as when you
look at them dead on you can't
tell there's much of a corner
there. Now, walk very slowly up
the meeting place of the two
polygons (it will take a lot of
time to get your technique right).
This
is really quite annoying when you
get half way and then fall.
However, practise makes perfect
(and a little luck
doesn't hurt, either). After quite some time, you will
possibly succeed in this task and
end up on the grassy bank. There
are a few things to do here:
|
|
|
If, after all your hard
work, you feel like it,
you can jump right off
the edge and fall for
absolutely ages. If your
descent is taking too
long, press B to do a
sword jump attack to
fall faster.
|
|
|
This isn't easy either,
but try and follow the edge of the
ridge (next to where you can jump
off) until you get to the end of
the ridge. Face the castle, and
jump towards it as far as you can.
If done correctly, you will be
swimming in invisible water. You
can swim back up and there's the
possibility you'll die, but you
can swim around the inside of the
castle. To get out, you can swim
into the moat (and get a secret
blue rupee).

This, unlike most other glitches and
tricks, is really
helpful. If you have an unneeded
item like the receipt for Biggoron's Sword, then go out with a
bottle and swipe to catch
something. Before you actually get
it, press start and swap the
bottle with the other item. This
will replace the item with a new bottle, which is fully
functional. Make sure you will
never need the replaced item again because
once you have swapped it, it's
gone forever.
|
|
|
If you are desperate to get your
hands on the Ocarina Of Time, but
you are stuck with the Kokiri
Ocarina, then here's what to do.
Do the above bottle trick, and
have the Kokiri Ocarina the item
that you replace it with. Now, go
and learn any song, and you will
get the Ocarina back. However, the
ocarina you get is actually the
Ocarina Of Time!
|
|
|
I bet you think those handy bottles of yours are made of glass, eh? Well
this is clearly wrong! When you fight Ganondorf, instead of swinging your
sword to knock his
energy balls
back, try using your
bottle. It's actually
better than using your sword as Link's swing is faster.
|
|
|
You can get over the fence behind the windmill in Kakariko village. All you do is use the Longshot
to get to the blue roof, then look for a small piece of wood
in the lower of two openings in the windmill. Use your
Longshot on it, then walk up the stairs to the Cucco in the second opening, grab it, and run out the door with the hover boots. It is important to run straight out and turn around rather than running around the corner, that way when you turn around you don't hit the corner. Fly toward the section of fence without forest
behind it and just before you fall, press B to sword-jump over the fence. It may take several tries but it can be done. You can either walk off an edge and fall a long way then die, or walk straight back through the fence. Other than that, there's nothing else to do.

It takes a while to perfect, but in the fishing
pond,
pay for a rod and cast your
line at the Fisherman. If you get
his hat, you can be fined (50
rupees) for trying to leave with it. After doing this, check
the rules board and there'll be a new rule aimed squarely at
you...
|
|
|
In Hyrule there are a couple of places to receive secret rupees. The first is by jumping across the three islands in Kokiri Forest in order without falling off for 5 rupees (every little helps to get that Deku
Shield!). You can do this once in both directions. If you run up the chains of the gate to the Castle Market and jump off towards the bridge you'll be rewarded with a red rupee.
If you wait for nightfall while on the chains of the bridge, you can run across the top and you'll be given even more rupees. Also, swimming the length of the Hyrule Castle moat can result in rupees, too.
|
|
|
If you scour every
single inch of the fishing pool,
especially in the grass around the
edge and the crack with the
stream, you can find the sinking
lure. It is illegal, but the
Fisherman won't know if you use it. Now
all you have to do is go fishing
and you will find that the fish
you catch are bigger. After a
while, if you are lucky, you will
catch the Hylian Loach, the
biggest fish in the game.
|
|
|
Whenever you see a
circle of stones, stand in the
middle and either plant a bomb
there or play the Song of Storms.
If one doesn't work then try the
other. More often than not, a hole
will appear leading you to a
secret room.
|
|
|
To get paid 150 rupees, catch some
bugs. Go to the person in Hyrule
Castle Town Market or Kakariko
Village, depending on whether you
are Child or Adult Link
respectively, who wants you to
sell him something using 'C'. Drop
the bugs and catch one of them
again. Go to the man and sell him
the bug, and you'll get paid 50
rupees. Repeat this with the
remaining two bugs to get another
100 rupees.
|
|
|
As a child, speak to the guard at
the gates of Kakariko Village (the
gates at the bottom of Death
Mountain) after showing him
Zelda's Letter. Do this before you
have bought the Hylian Shield in
the Bazaar and you will get a
discount when you finally buy it.
|
|
|
If you go to Dampe's Graveyard, pull open the grave with a row of flowers in front of it. There will be a small underground room with a chest which contains a Hylian Shield. Also, if you bomb the wall at the end of the room, it will lead to a fairy room so you can catch some more fairies.
|
|
|
Slash a sign to pieces, and
then play Zelda's
Lullaby. While it is
rebuilding itself slash
the bottom of it off. If
you have done it right
the top of the sign
should just be in the
air, floating by itself.
|
|
|
As a kid, equip your Kokiri
shield, and hold it out with R.
Still holding R, press start and
equip the Hylian shield. With
any luck, you should now have two
shields out, which protects your
back and your front.
|
|
|
While some masks are
utterly useless, the Mask Of Truth can let you
talk to Gossip Stones, the Bunny
Hood keeps Stalchilds away and the
Skull Mask keeps Keese away.
|
|
|
Warp to Sacred Forest
Meadow. Run down the steps to the
Moblin, keeping out of the way of
his mallet. Now, just before he
swings, get under his mallet,
pause and change into your hover
boots. Stand still and wait for
him to hit you away. At first it
looks like standard stuff but
you'll find you don't stop and you
end up under the tree branch you
just warped to.
|
|
|
If you have ever played
Adventure Of Link, you may have
noticed that the towns are all
named after sages. In real life the sages must have been
named after the towns, but it fits
into the overall story nicely, which is a small
departure for the Zelda
series.
|
|
|
All over Link's tree there are
little pictures that he must have
etched into the bark. I'd love to
know how he did it without his
sword. Maybe he used his sizable
Hylian ears.
|
|
|
If you leave some bugs and/or fish
on the pedestal before you take
the Master Sword out, when you
arrive in the future you'll see
that they have came with you. I
didn't know fish could do that
sort of thing.
|
|
|
There are three enemies in the
game which have bigger brothers.
At night in Hyrule Field, kill off
a few waves of Stalchilds, and a
big one will come. Destroy a few
more waves and a really massive
one will appear. Giant Leevers
come out at night outside the
Spirit Temple if you have killed
enough younger ones. Your reward?
A giant rupee. You know when you
have played too much Zelda when,
in Lake Hylia, you can pick off
Guays from a distance. If you are
really good, a huge one comes that'll
take a few shots to bring down.
|
|
|
Well, if you didn't know, the sky
in Hyrule is actually made of
polygons. Because of the N64's
limited power, you can, if you
look carefully enough, see the
seams between the polygons that
make it up. Kinda spoils the
illusion though, I loved to see
the sunrise and sunset...
|
|
|
Well, there is no such
contest, but if you have captured
a Poe, it is possible to eat by
drinking it like you would a
potion. Unfortunately, though
perhaps predictably, doing so will knock off a few hearts. Fun to drink
ghosts all the same.
|
|
|
The song in this case
would be the Scarecrow's Song. At
the 'The End' screen, wait a
little while and soon your
Scarecrow Song, if you had one,
will be played in 5 different
instruments. If you didn't get the
Scarecrow's Song, then...
|
|
|
On the shore of Lake
Hylia (as Young Link), find two
scarecrows in a patch of soil.
Talk to them both and one of them
will want to hear you play a song.
Play a song that you are going to
remember, and then as Adult Link
go back and talk to him. Now,
whenever Navi goes green and flies
off to what looks like empty space,
play the Scarecrow's Song and the
scarecrow will pop up. To get to
where he is, Hookshot over to him.
|
|
|
In Gerudo's Fortress
you can see skulls hanging off the
walls. To get items from them
shoot them with your bow.
|
|
|
Well, okay, so you can't
actually climb chests,
but if you clear a room
full of baddies and a
chest appears, try to
stand where it might
materialize as Link ends
up on top of it.
|
|
|
Yes, it worked in every
other Zelda game and it
works in this one too.
If you attack a chicken
over and over again, A
swarm of cuccos will
attack you. They only
stop if you leave the
area, or into a
building. In Lon Lon
Ranch, you can avoid the
attack by sitting on
Epona. It also looks
quite good as they try
and attack you.
|
|
|
If the chickens weren't bad
enough, you can similarly take
your anger out on Epona by firing
arrows at her. She neighs in
discomfort, but then I suppose you
would if you had just had an arrow
shot through you.
|
|
|
Apparently in Hyrule they
have other ways of milking cows.
Unlike here on Earth, where they
pull at the cows udders, all
Hyrulians have to do is play them Epona's Song! As a result, take an
empty bottle to a cow and play it
Epona's Song to get free milk!
|
|
|
To get
fairies easily, go to a beansprout as child Link and play
the Song Of Storms. It will grow
into the air and release 3
fairies. As an added bonus, if you
are standing on the sprout as you
play the song, the plant grows
though you. Nice.
|
|
|
When you are fighting Ganondorf,
after hitting him with
the Light Arrow, do the
quick spin attack
repeatedly to prevent
him from getting back
up! Although it should
be noted that spin
attacks aren't as easy
to pull off as in later
3D Zeldas, so you might
need a bit of practice.
|
|
|
Yes, it seems the Royal Family are
keen Mario players. In the castle
courtyard where you meet Zelda for
the first time, have a gander
through the windows and you should
spot a few paintings that you
might recognize. There have been
many instances where they appear
in each other's games. Speaking of
which...
|
|
|
If you look around Malon's neck,
then you'll see a broach in the
image of Bowser, Mario's nemesis.
|
|
|
In Hyrule Castle Town
Market there is a
treasure game. To always
win, use the Lens Of
Truth to see what is in
each chest. I,
shamefully, didn't pick
this up until hours of
trial and error.
|
|
|
A
butterfly's life is absolutely
amazing, how it can morph from one
being into another. Well, if you touch
one with a Deku Stick then it
changes into a fairy.
|
|
|
If you are intent on making
your own tunes, remember that if
the A or C buttons don't give the
desired note, you can change them
by using the control stick and the
Z and R buttons.
|
|
|
You can collect as many
Golden Skultullas as you
like with this handy
trick. Find a grotto in
the ground with a
Skultulla inside. Kill
it and send a boomerang
at the token left
behind. After the
boomerang has picked up
the token, but before it
gets back to you,
backflip onto the portal
back to the surface.
You'll be credited with
the token, but Skultulla
will still be down
there. Repeat this
process to get the 100
needed.
|
|
|
To get the Castle Grounds Man
annoyed with you, fire your
slingshot through the castle window
with
the potted plant inside. If you are a
good shot and you break it, the
groundsman will come out and
throw a bomb at you and start
yelling.
|
|
|
This is a tip for when
you're fighting Ganon (not
Ganondorf). As you know if you've
fought him before, you
have to hit his tail to
do damage to him. To get
to his tail though you
usually have to stun
him, but faster is to
simply roll through
his legs and take a
swipe at his tail.
|
|
|
If you’ve tried Talon’s
“Find The Special Cuccos!”
mini-game as Kid Link, you know
it’s a bit of a stumper. Well,
to help you out, here’s a tip:
Before talking to Talon, chuck all
of the Cuccos in the room in the
tight space between the table and
the stairs. Then, talk to Talon.
He’ll spread the Special Cuccos
around and they’ll be almost too
easy to catch.
|
|
|
To get a Deku Stick as strong as
the Kokiri Sword (and just as un-breakable),
equip your Deku Sticks to a
C-Button and pull one out. Then,
jump off a cliff (or something
similar) and break the stick on
the way down. The remainder of it
will work as your very own
bludgeoning club, to use as
you see fit.
Note: If you leave an area, go
underwater or switch items, the
club will disappear, and you’ll
have to repeat the trick to get it
back.
