Cheat: 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 wont roam as much. Now go and play the Super Cucco game. Hell 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.

Cheat: 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 Links normal sword.

Cheat: 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 wont 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 cirle that sends you back to the surface. Next, throw the bomerang at the token as soon as it hits 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.

Unlockable: 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 dont 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) Poachers Saw-Carpender (Gerudo Valley) Gorons Sword-Biggoron (Death Mountain) Prescription-King Zora (Zoras Domain) Eyeball Frog-Professor (Lake Hylia) Eye Drops-Biggoron (Death Mountain)
You will receive a claim check after step 9. Play the Suns Song 6 times or wait three days to get the Biggoron Sword. Believe me, its worth all that work!

Hint: Free Lon Lon Milk
If you have an empty bottle, stand in front of any cow and play "Eponas Song". The cow will feel energetic and fill your bottle up with Lon Lon Milk for free!

Hint: Magic Bean Square Locations
Heres 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. Zoras 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.

Hint: Navis Hints
Be sure to keep an eye on your fairy companion at all times. When Navi turns green and flies over to a spot, its usually an indication that there is something hidden there. If you dont feel a rumble from the Stone of Agony, then its most likely a red fairy (refreshes health and magic). Play the Song of Storms or Zeldas Lullaby, to lure it out. In some occasions, Navi also points out potential "scarecrow" spots and hidden caves.

Hint: 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.

Hint: 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.

Hint: 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.

Hint: Save the Ranch and Get Animals
As a kid go to Lon Lon Ranch. Talk to Malon and shell teach you a song. Play it to Epona and shell grow fond of you. Then become an adult. Go to Lon Lon Ranch and pay Mr. Indigo to ride a horse. Then when youre in there, play Eponas 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. Hell ask if you want to race, say yes. Beat him twice. Then hell 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.

Hint: 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 doesnt 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!

Hint: How to get Epona the Horse
Getting Epona can be very tricky at times.  This guide will help you beat Mr Igno.

Learn Eponas 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 shell teach you Eponas 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 Eponas 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 Eponas Song and get on Epona.  This time, walk up to Mr. Ingo while on Epona and use Z Targeting to talk to him.  Hell challenge you to a race with a 50 rupee wager.

Win the race against Mr. Ingo.  Hell challenge you to a second race.  Win again and youll 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.  Heres 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 youll slow down big time and lose.

Hint: Travel Hyrule Fields Safely
Are you getting annoyed at the skeletons that pop out of the ground at night when youre walking around in the Hyrule Fields? Ever tried camouflaging yourself as local wildlife? For example, try puttin 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.

Hint: Great Golden Gauntlets
To get the golden gauntlets you must go to Ganons 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.

Hint: Unlimited Money
For some reason everyone is dissapointed because all you get for finding 100 skulltulla tokens is 200 rupees. Well, actually, its infinite. Once you get the first huge rupee, you can come back whenever you want and get another one. I dont know why no one else has noticed this yet...

Hint: Secret Pictures in Zeldas 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!

Hint: 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")

Hint: 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.

Dont 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.

Hint: 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.

Hint: 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 Zoras Domain as an adult and unthaw King Zora with a bottle of Blue Fire from the Ice Cavern or the Potion Shop.

Hint: Mad Soldier
You know that in the castle courtyard there are the pictures, right? Well, theres also a soldier thats 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. Its not a useful trick, but its pretty funny to see.

Hint: 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 dont think!

Hint: Fun with the Fishermans Hat
As adult Link, you can hook the fishermans hat. Just aim at him, then cast. It may take a few tries to find the right place. Youll 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.

Hint: 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 bommarang 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.

Hint: Multiply Bugs
Got a few empty bottles to fill with bugs? Heres 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.

Hint: 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.

Hint: 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.

Cheat: Epona Item Code
Play through the game until you get to Gannon. Then after he knocks the Master Sword out of Links hands, save & quit. When you start at Gannons 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 longshot 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.

Hint: Hidden Gold Rupees
Dont wait untill 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.

Hint: 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. Dins 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. Farores 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.

Hint: 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:
Zeldas Lullaby, Eponas 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.

Hint: Golden Scales
Go to the fishing hut when Link is an adult. If you can catch a 15 pound fish youll receive golden scales. These let you dive to 8 meters.

Hint: 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 that she wants to give you somthing but it is too heavy to carry. If you return to your house there is a cow in it!

Hint: 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 Zoras fountain. Equip a bottle, and swap at a fish. When he is in mid-swap pause it and equip something useless in the bottles place and it will turn into a bottle. DONT 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.

Hint: 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 mmediately afterwards so you dont 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.

Hint: 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 wont be hurt.

Hint: 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.

Hint: 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, itll start playing the song you made up for the scarecrow. Wait another minute or so and itll 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.

Hint: 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 recieve a bomb bag that can hold 30 bombs.

If youre not very good at bombachu bowling, heres 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.

Hint: Cure a Wounded Sign
If you slash a sign to smithereens, you can put it back together by playing Zeldas lullaby on your ocarina. The sign will magically recreate itself in front of your eyes.

Hint: Bottle Locations
Bottle #1:At Lon Lon Ranch, play Talons 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 asyou enter. Go outside and collect poes, once you collect 1000 points, the ghost will give you a bottle.

Hint: 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!

Hint: 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 Hitchcocks famous movie.

Simply leave the room or area to stop the chicken attack.

Hint: 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.

Hint: Barbecued Link
Play through your game as normal until Ganon, the final boss. After you have knocked Ganon down the first time, retreive 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 Ganons tail. If the trick worked Ganon should get up and Link should be engulfed in flames.

Hint: Easy Way to Beat Mirror Link
If you use the Megaton Hammer against mirror link he wont be able to mirror your attacks.

Hint: Sinker Lure
At the fishing pond, go to the big rock near the large crack in the wall. Run to the corner to find a sinker lure. You can try using it to catch the black eel swimming around in the deepest parts of the pond.

Hint: Beat Shadow Link Easily
Use Dins Fire to damage Shadow Link easily.

Hint: Magic Spell Locations
Dins Fire: After collecting some bombs, go to the castle as a child and blow up the rock past the gate.
Farores Wind: At the location of Lord Jabu Jabu, go to the right of his platform and swim towards the wall. Use a bomb on one of the rocks.
Nayrus Love: Outside of the Spirit Temple, use a bomb on the crack on the walls somewhere nearby in the desert.

Hint: Rupees From Light Arrows
If you kill any enemy with nothing but light arrows, when they burn up, they leave behind a purple rupee, worth 50 green rupees.

Hint: Zora Kisses
As adult Link, earn enough money to buy the Zora Tunic (you must not have it already). Then, go to King Zora, melt off the red ice and hell offer you a Zora Tunic. Since you already have it hell offer you a big kiss instead.

Hint: Get Mask of Truth
Follow these steps as a kid to gain the Mask of Truth which allows you to talk to the gossip stones. 1. Sell the Keaton Mask to the guard at the foot of Death Mountain. 2. Sell the Skull Mask to the Skull Kid in the Lost Woods. 3. Sell the Spooky Mask to the young boy who plays in Kakariko Graveyard. 4. Finally, Sell the Bunny Hood to the Marathon Runner in Hyrule Field. Make sure you have an empty Giants Wallet! Now return to the Happy Mask Shop and the Shopkeeper will let you borrow ANY mask for FREE! Note: If you return to the shop without any ruppees, the guys eyes glow red!

Hint: Day Time Dog
First get the sun song, then go to the town with the temple of time, next walk up to a dog so it follows you then play the sun song. The dog will follow you until you leave town!

Hint: Heart Pieces with the Boomerang
You can use the Boomerang to get two Heart Pieces that seem to only be available much later. The first one is near the entrance to Zoras Domain, sitting pretty on an unreachable ledge (note that this is the one RIGHT near the waterfall - the one further down the river can be reached by using the Cucco to fly across the gap). Once youve gotten the Boomerang, stand on the ledge opposite the Heart Piece and aim carefully. A few tries should snag it. It will probably drop off of your Boomerang and into the water below, near the ladder, where you can retrieve it.
The second Heart Piece is the one in Kakariko Villages windmill. This one is simple to get with the Boomerang - theres no need to wait until you come back as Adult Link and get the Hookshot!
You can also get that Heart Piece above Dodongos Cavern as Young Link, rather than waiting to use a bean platform. Go to the place where the Bomb Flower grows, near the entrance to the Goron city; pick the bomb flower and chuck it, and then quickly do a back flip over the low part of the fence that the bomb flower was blocking. If you do it correctly (aiming yourself a bit to the left of the screen), youll land on the ledge.

Hint - Big Poe Locations
This is the weird Ghost Shop guys quest. He says that once you get a 1000 points on your card, youll be a happy man. Each Big Poe is worth 100 points, and can be found only in Hyrule Field on horseback.
Some are harder than others, and sometimes you may have to ride through these locations at different angles a few times so you can get your shots off to off them.
You can walk around Hyrule Field and find the locations definitely, but the Poe you encounter on foot will not be Big Poe and will not earn you points.
