Pieces of Heart Guide -------------------------- Here, I'll tell you where to get every Piece of Heart. First, I'll give the Piece number, followed by the minimum item you need, what Link it can be obtained by, and finally, how exactly to get it. There are a total of 36 Pieces, making a total of nine optional Heart Containers. Enjoy. -LEGEND- YL - Can only be obtained as Young Link AL - Can only be obtained as Adult Link EL - Can be obtained as either Link BL - Must be obtained using both Links Hyrule Field: 2 Pieces 1 - Bombs - EL - Outside the entrance to Lake Hylia, there is a fenced in area of land. Throw a bomb into the middle of the area, and the bomb will uncover a hole where you can get a Piece of Heart. 2 - Iron Boots - AL - Plant a bomb near a tree in the northwestern part of Hyrule Field, which will uncover a secret cave. Drop to the bottom of the pond using the Iron Boots, where the Piece of Heart rests. Lost Woods: 2 Pieces 1 - Fairy Ocarina - YL - Go left from the start, and jump up onto the log. You'll find a Skull Kid, who, if you take out your Ocarina, will ask you to play something. Play Saria's Song, and he will consider you a friend and give you a Piece of Heart. 2 - Fairy Ocarina - YL - Go to the area with the target hanging from the tree (it's on the way to the Sacred Forest Meadow, so you won't miss it) and drop down. Hop up on the log, whip out your Ocarina, and two Skull Kids will appear, asking you to follow along with them. This game is kinda like "Simon". Win three times, I think, and they will reward you with a Piece of Heart. Don't worry if they give you a Green Rupee or Blue Rupee - they'll give you the Piece eventually. Hyrule Market: 3 Pieces 1 - No Item - YL - Enter Hyrule Market at night, and talk to the fat woman in one of the houses in the Back Alley. She'll tell you that her dog is missing. Go back to the main area, and run into the dog near the Bazaar to make him follow you. Take him back to the woman and she'll reward you with a Piece of Heart. 2 - 30 Rupees - YL - Go to the Bombchu Bowling Game after it has opened, and play until you recieve the Piece of Heart. It's quite annoying. Good luck! 3 - 10 Rupees - YL - Go to Hyrule Market at night, and enter the building with lights on. This is the Treasure Box Game. You can play at this game right now and have almost no chance of winning, or you can come back when you have the Lens of Truth to cheat and win easily. I recommend doing the latter, since there's no penalty for doing so, and it's a waste of Rupees to do otherwise. Lon Lon Ranch: 1 Piece 1 - No Item - YL - Go to the stables at the back of Lon Lon Ranch (the small room with two cows), and rearrange the boxes to where you can crawl through the small opening in the wall. Crawl through, and you'll find a Piece of Heart waiting for you. Kakariko Village: 4 Pieces 1 - No Item - BL - There are MANY ways to do this. The first, and perhaps most complicated way, is to take a Cucco, make your way up to the thin ledge where one of the carpenters runs around, and jump off of there to the small ledge above the Cucco Pen. The second, and easier way, is to wait until you can get an owl ride from the top of Death Mountain. The owl will drop you off on top of the roof of the house, so that you can easily hop from the roof to the ledge below. The third way is to wait until you get the Hookshot as Adult Link and grapple to the roof, although I don't recommend waiting that long to get this Piece. Remember - the sooner you get the Pieces, the better! 2 - No Item - AL - As Young Link, you can go inside of the windmill and see this Piece sitting on a ledge. As Adult Link, once you win Dampˇ's Race, you will resurface at a ledge in the windmill where you can jump to one of the spinning ledges and then to the Piece. 3 - No Item - BL - The prize for bagging 50 Gold Skulltulas is a Piece of Heart. Talk to one of the rescued kids in the House of Skulltula to get it. 4 - Hookshot - AL - Some people say that you must have the Longshot to get this Piece, but they're wrong. Just go to the ledge in the village where the door to the inside of the windmill is, jump on top of the fence, and grapple to the roof with a man sitting on top. Talk to him, and he'll give you a Piece of Heart. (Gee, the people in this game are generous, aren't they...?) Kakariko Graveyard: 4 Pieces 1 - Fairy Ocarina - EL - After you learn the Sun's Song, move a gravestone (I forgot which one) in the Graveyard, and play the Sun's Song in the room under the grave. This will make a chest appear that contains a Piece of Heart. 2 - Magic Beans - BL - As Young Link, plant a Magic Bean in the plot of soil at the Graveyard. As Adult Link, ride the Magic Plant up to a ledge and bash the crate to reveal a Piece of Heart. 3 - 20 Rupees - YL - Go to the Graveyard between 6:00 and 8:00 PM, and participate in "Dampˇ's Heart-Pounding Grave-Digging Tour". Have him dig in the soil (not the stone) along the path he walks, and you'll find the Piece of Heart in a random location. 4 - No Item - AL - Race Dampˇ's spirit in the Graveyard and win in one minute or less, AFTER getting the Hookshot. Rolling the whole way really helps. Death Mountain Trail: 1 Piece 1 - Magic Beans - BL - As Young Link, plant a Magic Bean in the plot of soil in front of Dodongo's Cavern, and ride the Magic Plant up to the platform above Dodongo's Cavern as Adult Link. Goron City: 1 Piece 1 - Bombs - YL - First, go to the bottom floor, and then, using a Deku Stick and the flaming torch in Darunia's Room, light all of the torches around the huge Goron Statue. This will make the statue spin. Now, go up to the floor above you, and, using either a Bomb Flower or one of your own Bombs (I recommend the former), toss it into the statue through the opening. When it explodes, you'll get a random prize, and eventually, it will be a bunch of rupees with a Piece of Heart. Death Mountain Crater: 2 Pieces 1 - No Item - EL - Go straight ahead and to the left from the entrace, and go to the very edge of the platform. Walk off very slowly, and you'll discover that it's actually a climable wall. Climb down the wall and into a small alcove where a Piece of Heart rests. 2 - Magic Beans - BL - As Young Link, play the Bolero of Fire (learned from Sheik) to warp to the Fire Temple, and then plant a Magic Bean at the plot of soil there. Return as Adult Link, and you can ride the Magic Plant to the top of a volcano where a well-hidden Piece of Heart rests. Zora's River: 4 Pieces 1 - No Item - YL - Get the Cucco at the beginning of the area to the area where you can see the tall rock pillar where this Piece rests. Jump across the small gap to the left, and follow the ledge to where you'd usually jump off to continue. Instead of doing that, take a running jump and float to the just- about-out-of-reach ledge, and toss the Cucco at the last moment to grab ahold of the ledge. Jump from there to the rock pillar and claim the Piece. 2 - No Item - YL - If you can, get the Cucco again and continue to the waterfall right in front of the entrace to Zora's Domain. (If you lost the Cucco, just go back to the beginning of the area to get it again). This is an easy one - just jump from the ledge closest to where the Piece of Heart is, and you'll float right to it. Simple. 3 - Ocarina of Time - YL - Play the Song of Storms for the group of frogs, and they'll give you a Piece of Heart. Remember, the Song of Storms can only be learned as an Adult. Also, you must have played all of your other songs (Zelda's Lullaby, Saria's Song, Epona's Song, Sun's Song, and Song of Time) to make every frog large before you can do this. 4 - Ocarina of Time - YL - Win the bug-eating game with the frogs to earn another Piece. You must have already gotten Piece 3 before you can do this. Zora's Domain: 1 Piece 1 - Deku Stick - YL - Starting from King Zora's Room, light all of the torches in order, ending with the ones behind the waterfall. It's pretty linear. If you can't do it the first time, start over, and make SURE to run your stick through every torch to make the flame last longer. Doing all of this will make a treasure chest containing a Piece appear between the two torches behind the waterfall. Zora's Fountain: 2 Pieces 1 - No Item - AL - This is easy - just jump from ice cap to ice cap until you get to the Piece. 2 - Iron Boots - AL - Sink to the very bottom of Zora's Fountain to find a Piece of Heart. Lake Hylia: 3 Pieces 1 - 20 Rupees - YL - Catch a 10-lb or bigger fish at the Fishing Pond, not using the illegal lure. 2 - Magic Bean - BL - Plant a Magic Bean in the plot of soil in front of the Lake Hylia Laboratory as Young Link, and use the Magic Plant to ride up to the roof as an Adult. Once on the roof, climb all the way up the ladder (watch out for the Crows!) and you'll get the Piece. Check out the view! 3 - Gold Scale/Iron Boots - EL - As Young or Adult Link, you can use the Gold Scale to dive to the bottom of the pool in the Lake Hylia Laboratory. As Adult Link, you can use the Iron Boots to sink to the bottom of the pool. In both cases, make sure you talk to the man before and after to get your Piece. Gerudo Valley: 2 Pieces 1 - No Item - YL - Use the Cucco to glide behind the waterfall in the canyon, where you'll find a hidden alcove containing a Piece of Heart. 2 - No Item - YL - Use the Cucco again to float to the left, away from the waterfall, to a small ledge on the other side of the canyon (it's the ledge with a crate on it). Bash the crate, and you'll find another Piece of Heart. For a kick, toss the Cucco into the water below. Once it hits the water, it'll go nuts and fly up and over the canyon, into space or something. Super Cucco!! ^_^ Gerudo Fortress: 2 Pieces 1 - Longshot/Ocarina of Time - AL - Make your way up to the very top of Gerudo Fortress, where you can see a treasure chest on the roof. You can either grapple directly to the chest using the Longshot, or, if you've learned the Scarecrow's Song, summon Pierre the Scarecrow and grapple to him using the Hookshot. Open the chest to recieve your Piece. 2 - Epona - AL - Play the Horseback Archery Game and score 1,000 points or more, and the woman will reward you with a Piece of Heart. Ice Cavern - 1 Piece 1 - Empty Bottle/Blue Fire - AL - I'm not going to explain how to get to this one in dungeon terms, but if you dissolve every Red Ice wall, you'll find this secret room with a Blue Fire torch, a Piece of Heart, and a Gold Skulltula. Just use Blue Fire to melt the Red Ice surrounding the Piece of Heart. Desert Colossus: 1 Piece 1 - Magic Bean - BL - First, play the Requiem of Spirit to warp to the Spirit Temple as Young Link. There, plant a Magic Bean in the plot of soil. Return as Adult Link and use the Magic Plant to get on top of the stone arch where the final Piece rests. Congrats! You should have all 20 Heart Containers now! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ------------------------ IV. Gold Skulltula Guide ------------------------ Here, you'll find out where to get every single Gold Skulltula in the game. There are 100.. good luck! The lay out is the same as the Piece of Heart Guide, but with much shorter explanations. Remember, Gold Skulltulas can only be found at night, unless they're hidden in trees or crates. - LEGEND - YL - Can only be obtained as Young Link AL - Can only be obtained as Adult Link EL - Can be obtained as either Link BL - Must be obtained using both Links - The Rewards for Killing the Skulltulas - 10 Skulltulas - Adult's Wallet. Allows you to carry 200 Rupees. Yeah! 20 Skulltulas - Stone of Agony. Makes your Rumble Pak (if you have one) rumble when there is a nearby secret. Very cool. 30 Skulltulas - Giant's Wallet. Allows you to carry 500 Rupees. Cha-ching! 40 Skulltulas - Bombchu. An unpredictable bomb that can travel up walls. What a letdown.. 50 Skulltulas - Piece of Heart. 1/4 of a Heart Container. Duh! 100 Skulltulas - Infinite Huge Rupee. Worth 200 Rupees each time. You can keep getting this over and over, allowing for unlimited Rupees, but it's still sucks..

Heh heh.. ^_^;; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- -------------------- V. Great Fairy Guide -------------------- This section lists all of the Great Fairy Fountains in the game, where you can find them, and what they give you when you get there. Great Fairy Fountain 1: Spin Slash Required Item: Bombs Location: Death Mountain Bomb the bombable wall next to the entrance to the Death Mountain Crater on the summit of Death Mountain. Here, you will learn the Spin Slash technique, plus get your first Magic Meter, which you need to use the three Spells. Great Fairy Fountain 2: Din's Fire Required Item: Bombs Location: Hyrule Castle Go to Hyrule Castle and sneak past the guard gate, and instead of going on the beaten path, veer off to the dead end (where the boulder is). Bomb it and crawl through the opening it reveals. Here, you'll recieve Din's Fire, the first of the three Spells. This creates a huge flame around Link that burns everything unfortunate enough to be in its path. It costs 6 MP. Great Fairy Fountain 3: Farore's Wind Required Item: Bombs Location: Zora's Fountain Go to the small island behind and to the right of Jabu-Jabu. Bomb the bombable rock there, and you'll reveal something much larger: a hidden cave. Enter, and you'll recieve Farore's Wind, the second, and most useless, of the three Spells. I think it's the most useless because all it does is warp you away to a Warp Point that you create when you first cast the Spell. This is something you rarely need to do. Actually, I can't even think of a place where you actually do need it.. and it costs 6 MP? No thanks, lady! BUUUUT.. faith07@pacific.net.sg has submitted his uses for it. He says that you can use it to get back to where you were in a dungeon if you are severly injured and need to restock and heal. He says you can also use it before making a huge jump, so if you don't make it and drop to a faraway location, you can warp back to where you were. Ok ok, so I exaggerated a little on its uselessness.. Great Fairy Fountain 4: Double Magic Meter Required Item: Megaton Hammer Location: Death Mountain Crater Use the entrance in Darunia's Room to get to the Death Mountain Crater. One you get in there, veer right and use the Megaton Hammer to smash the red boulders blocking the secret doorway. Here, you'll have your Magic Meter doubled. Yeah! Now you won't ever have to worry about running out of Magic, unless you like to massacre your enemies with the Spin Slash or Din's Fire all the time. Or, unless, of course, you find a use for Farore's Wind.. yeah, right. Great Fairy Fountain 5: Nayru's Love Required Item: Bombs Location: Desert Colossus Go left from the entrance until you find a crack in the outer wall. Bomb it, and go inside the door it creates. Here, you'll recieve Nayru's Love, the last of the three Spells. This Spell kicks ass. Even through it costs 12 MP, it creates a barrier that protects Link from damage for a COUPLE MINUTES (around two), not just a few seconds. The only downside is that Link can still be knocked down, which is a pain in the ass, so don't even THINK about using it to get an edge on Dampˇ in his race (like I did). :) Great Fairy Fountain 6: Double Life Meter Required Item: Gold Gauntlets Location: Ganon's Castle Once you get the Gold Gauntlets in Ganon's Castle, return outside immediately, and turn left from the rainbow bridge. Keep following the path to the general area where you got Din's Fire, and lift the giant granite pillar there. Enter the cave it reveals, and you'll get your Heart Containers surrounded by a white border, which signifies that you now have your defense power doubled, or, in other words, your life doubled. This is a must for the final battle with Ganon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- --------------------------------- VI. Young Link's Trading Sequence --------------------------------- Once the Happy Mask Shop in Hyrule Market opens, you can begin Young Link's trading sequence. Doing all of this isn't necessary, but it IS fun and it adds to the length of the game. Since this may be a bit confusing to some people, let me explain: all you have to do is borrow the mask at the shop, sell it to the person who wants it, and then go back to the shop and pay back the mask price, regardless of whether you make a profit or not. Once you get back, the next mask will be available to borrow. Mask 1: Keaton Mask Price: 10 Rupees You sell this mask to the guard in Kakariko Village who guards the Death Mountain Trail head. He'll pay you 15 Rupees for it. He apparently wants it for his son, but seeing as he wears it throughout the whole game, you gotta wonder it it's REALLY for his son.. Mask 2: Skull Mask Price: 20 Rupees You sell this one to the lone Skull Kid in the Lost Woods (go left from the start). He won't pay you full price for it, though.. what a jerk. Mask 3: Spooky Mask Price: 30 Rupees This one can be sold to the kid who walks around in the Graveyard, wanting to be like Dampˇ. But c'mon.. we all know the truth: he doesn't wanna look like Dampˇ - no, he wants to look like.. a ReDead! At least, that what the mask implies.. anyway, he'll buy this one for full price. Mask 4: Bunny Hood Price: 50 Rupees 50 Rupees may be a steep price for a mask, but just wait 'till you sell it. First off, a word of advice: you can't sell this mask until you beat all three dungeons as Young Link, so don't even bother trying. Ok, now on to the important stuff: MAKE SURE you get the Giant's Wallet before you sell this mask, and MAKE sure you're low on Rupees when you sell it. Why, you ask? Read on. The guy you want to sell this mask to can be found running around in Hyrule Field. To find him, explore the area to the right and behind of Lon Lon Ranch, assuming you're facing it. Once he stops running, you can sell it to him. He'll go off the deep end, and give you 500 Rupees for it. Whatever!! There ya go - that's it. Now, you have access to four optional Masks, as well as all of the previous Masks, free of charge. Here's a list: Mask of Truth - Allows you to "read people's minds". Well, not exactly, but it IS pretty cool. While you're wearing it, go up to a Gossip Stone (the stones that tell you the time when you hit them), and press A, as if to talk to it. Well, it'll talk to you, and tell you some pretty nifty stuff. None of it is essential to the quest, but it's quite interesting. For example, one of them will tell you who Malon really hopes will sweep her off her feet.. Zora Mask - Makes you look like a Zora person. Heh, talk to Ruto with this one on.. hell, talk to EVERYONE with this one on. Goron Mask - Makes you look like a Goron person. Fun! Fun!! FUN!!! Gerudo Mask - I'm not really sure why Link would WANT to look like a girl, but.. to each his own, I guess.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ---------------------------------- VII. Adult Link's Trading Sequence ---------------------------------- Much, much more important than Young Link's trading sequence, and much, much harder. This one will eventually earn you the Biggoron Sword, which is, by far, the biggest, coolest, most kick-ass sword ever. You'll never want to go back to the so-called "Master" Sword again, although only its holy power can destroy Ganon.. the only downside, although a minor one, is that it's so massive, that Link can't handle the sword and his shield at the same time. Too bad. Even thought you cannot use the Ocarina Warps to do this (the time automatically runs out), you CAN use the "physical" warps (like the Lost Woods/Goron City one) to reach your goal faster. IMPORTANT: GET EPONA BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS!!! Step 1: Pocket Egg Location: Kakariko Village Talk to the Cucco Lady to get this. Now, play the Sun's Song to make a whole day pass, and the egg will hatch into a Pocket Cucco. Take this to the house where Talon is sleeping, and wake him up with it. Now, take the happy Pocket Cucco back to the Cucco Lady, and she'll give you.. Step 2: Cojiro Location: Kakariko Village This is a strange-looking blue chicken. Anyway, take it to the Lost Woods, and go left from the start. There, you'll find that loser that always says everyone except him is disgusting. Don't like him? Want revenge? Then wake his butt up with Cojiro. For doing so, he'll give you.. Step 3: Odd Mushroom Location: Lost Woods You only have three minutes before this mushroom spoils, so high-tail it back to Epona (the Magic Plant you should have planted near your current location really helps) and ride to Kakariko Village. Go in the Potion Shop, out the back door, and to the secret Potion Shop behind the main one. Give the mushroom to the old woman there, and you'll get.. Step 4: Odd Potion Location: Kakariko Village There isn't a time limit for this one, so relax. Make your way back to the Step 2 location, and in the loser's place, you'll find a Kokiri girl. She explains that everyone not accompanied by a fairy will turn into a Stalfos soon after they enter the forest. Yeah! NOW who's disgusting?!? She'll insist that you give back the potion, made of forest mushrooms. Do so, and she'll give you.. Step 5: Poacher's Saw Location: Lost Woods Ride all the way across Hyrule to Gerudo Valley, and use Epona to leap across the broken bridge. Talk to the boss of the carpenters in front of the tent, and give him his saw back. He'll then give you the.. Step 6: Broken Goron's Sword Location: Gerudo Valley No time limit for this one either, so feel free to use the Bolero of Fire to warp to Biggoron, on top of Death Mountain. (Remember, the Biggoron on top of Death Mountain, not the phony in Goron City!) He'll be glad to fix it for you, but his eyes happen to be irritated from yesterday's volcanic eruption, and he'll need eye drops so he can see again. Oh brother. Anyway, he'll give you the.. Step 7: Prescription Location: Death Mountain Take the Prescription to King Zora. But before you do that, buy some Blue Fire at the General Store in Kakariko Village. You'll need it to unfreeze King Zora. Once you get to Zora's Domain, do so, and show him the Prescription. He'll now tell you that he DOESN'T have the eyedrops, but only the ingredients, so he'll give you.. Step 8: Eyeball Frog Location: Zora's Domain Hurry! Hurry! Don't be late! You're late for a very important date! With the kooky Lake Hylia Professor, that is. And you've got to make it to him from Zora's Domain within three minutes. So, ride like the wind to Lake Hylia, jumping over the gates flawlessly. If and when you make it, he'll be disappointed that the frog isn't for him (.....), and give you the.. Step 9: World's Finest Eye Drops Location: Lake Hylia Laboratory The hardest part of the trading sequence, you have to make it from Lake Hylia to the summit of Death Mountain in four minutes. You must jump every fence, make every jump, and take every right path.. unless, you planted the Magic Plant in front of Dodongo's Cavern, that is. THEN you have some room for error, as this shaves around 30-40 seconds off your trip. Good luck! If you make it, Biggoron's eyes will be healed, and he'll give you.. Step 10: Claim Check Location: Death Mountain Don't worry, you don't have to go anywhere this time. Just keep it for three days. Can't stand the wait? Then use the Sun's Song to speed up the process. Once three days have passed, show the Claim Check to Biggoron, and he'll gladly give you the.. Step 11: Biggoron's Sword Location: Death Mountain YEAH!! Now that you have the sword that I and the people at Versus Books affectionately call the "Biggy", you can kick some major monsta booty. Proudly equip your new sword and test it out.. it's twice as powerful as the Master Sword, which means it's four times as powerful as the Kokiri Sword! Yee-haa!!! Use this for the rest of the game, and you should have no trouble whatsoever. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ----------------------- VIII. Capacity Upgrades ----------------------- During the course of the game, you can increase the maximum amount of items that you can carry. Specifically, you can carry up to 30 Deku Sticks, 50 Deku Seeds, 40 Deku Nuts, 40 Bombs, and 50 Arrows. It's rare that people find and remember where all of these upgrades are, and this is what this section is for. I recommend you get as many of the upgrades as soon as possible, as I do with the Pieces of Heart and the Gold Skulltulas. Deku Stick Upgrade 1 Location: Lost Woods Required Items: 40 Rupees Enter the Lost Woods, and go left fromt the start. Go through the log at the end of this room, under the bridge, and to the other side of the area, where you will find a Buisness Scrub. Defeat him, and he will offer to up your Deku Stick carrying capacity to 20. Deku Stick Upgrade 2 Location: Lost Woods Required Items: Skull Mask Go to the "Forest Stage" and put on the Skull Mask. The.. things there will decide that they really like you. While they're swarming around you, talk to their leader, still hidden, to the right of the entrance. He will then upgrade your Deku Stick carrying capacity to 30. Deku Seed Upgrade 1 Location: Lost Woods Required Items: Fairy Slingshot This one's easy. Go to the room with the target hanging from the tree (it's on the way to the Sacred Forest Meadow). Hit the target with a Deku Seed, and adjust your aim slightly until you score a 100 (bulls-eye). Now, just fire two more without moving and another.. thing will pop out of the tree and give you the Big Bullet Bag, which holds 40 Deku Seeds. Deku Seed Upgrade 2 Location: Hyrule Market Required Items: Fairy Slingshot, 20 Rupees Easy. Just play the archery game as Young Link, and hit every target. It should be child's play for you. Even if you can't hit every one, hit at least eight, and you'll be allowed to try again for free. If you win, the game owner will give you the Biggest Bullet Bag, which holds 50 Deku Seeds. Deku Nut Upgrade 1 Location: Lost Woods Required Items: Mask of Truth Go to the Forest Stage and wear the Mask of Truth. Randomly, the things will either attack you, ignore you, or tell you that you're ugly but will help you out anyway. What nice things! There IS one drawback, though: once you have become an Adult, you CANNOT get this upgrade, even if you revert back to a child. It's a glitch. Deku Nut Upgrade 2 Location: Lost Woods Required Items: Bombs Blow up the boulder in front of the Sacred Forest Meadow entrance. You'll find a secret cave with a Buisness Scrub who will sell you the second upgrade. Bomb Upgrade 1 Location: Goron City Required Items: Bombs On the second floor of Goron City, "Hot Rodder Goron" is rolling around like a maniac who's had too much caffiene. If you blow him up and stop him with a Bomb Flower, he won't even give you the time of day. However, if you stop him with one of your own Bombs, he'll give you the Big Bomb Bag as a reward. It holds 30 Bombs. Bomb Upgrade 2 Location: Hyrule Market Required Items: 30 Rupees Play the Bombchu Bowling Game after it has opened, and randomly, the prize will be the Biggest Bomb Bag, which holds 40 Bombs. This is incredibly annoying, I know, but it's worth it. Good luck! Arrow Upgrade 1 Location: Kakariko Village Required Items: 20 Rupees Play the archery game as Adult Link. If you hit all ten targets, you'll get the Big Quiver, which holds 40 Arrows. This time around, it's harder to do - the targets pop up in a random order, not a pre-determined one, so you'll need a quick mind as well as quick reflexes. Arrow Upgrade 2 Location: Gerudo Fortress Required Items: 20 Rupees After you get the Gerudo's Card, play the Horseback Archery Game and score 1,500 points or more. This can only be done if you've gotten the Piece of Heart by scoring 1,000 points or more first. This can be pretty tough if your aim sucks. Your reward for completing this difficult task is the Biggest Quiver, which holds 50 Arrows. If you can get all of the Pieces of Heart, kill every Gold Skulltula, find every Great Fairy Fountain, sell every Mask, get the Biggoron Sword, and find every upgrade, then you are a true Zelda 64 master. No kidding. Those are some pretty hard things to do. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- -------------------- IX. Secrets/Glitches -------------------- Here you can find some pretty nifty glitches and codes for Zelda 64. I haven't tested them, so if you test them for me, you'll get credit.. G - Glitch C - Code 1. (G) More Bottles, Anyone? - Want to get more than four Bottles? Simple - first, you must have an empty Bottle. Next, go to anything and catch it, and pause the game in mid-catch, while the Bottle is in the air. Now, switch the Bottle with a useless item, such as Deku Sticks or Deku Nuts. And there you have it - another Bottle! Watch out, though - the effect is permanent if you save! Scott Morrow adds that you can put a Bottle in the Deku Nut spot and save, and when you cut grass, etc. to get more Deku Nuts, they will take there place back where the Bottle was, even if you have saved. I'm not sure if it's the same with other items. I've tested this, and it works. 2. (C) Play as Sheik - This supposed Code will allow you to play as Sheik. It's a bit lengthy, though. First, get Epona and the Cow in your house. Next, go to Gerudo Valley and jump into the river. You'll end up in Lake Hylia. Now, talk to the Lake Hylia Professor and then to the Fishing Pond Owner. Now, go to the Death Mountain Crater and get a Bottle of Lava (this is where I got stumped. I have absolutely no clue how to get a Bottle of Lava..). Now, go to the Temple of Time and pour the Lava onto the altar where the Master Sword rests. Then, get four Bottles of Blue Fire and release them all over the big chest in the Gerudo Training Center. Finally, go back to the Temple of Time and Sheik will be waiting. THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE UNTRUE. 3. (C) The Fire Sword - This Code will get you the secret Fire Sword. It's pretty long, though. First, start a new game and enter your name as FireS (notice the capitalizations). Play as usual, until you reach Gohma (the first Boss). This is the hard part - you must defeat all three Bosses as Young Link WITHOUT GETTING HIT. If you get hit, the Code will deactivate itself. If you do get hit, you can restart from a saved game before the Boss. Once you've done this, play as usual until you turn into Adult Link. Immediately get Epona and, once you jump the fence to escape the ranch, STAY ON EPONA FOR THREE DAYS, and don't use the Sun's Song to speed it up. Next, play normally until you deactivate all the Barriers in Ganon's Castle. After you've done that, save your game, and change back into Young Link. Now, go to Link's House and chop down the sign in front of the house. Then, play Zelda's Lullaby to put the sign back together. Change back into Adult Link, and play to the final battle with Ganon (NOT Ganondorf). During the battle, pause, go to the Equipment Screen, highlight a sword, and press R, R, R, L, L, L. Unpause, and, if you did everything right, the Fire Sword should be in Link's hands. THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE UNTRUE. 4. (G) Use the C Buttons While Riding Epona - During the fight with Ganon (not Ganondorf), save WHILE you have lost the Master Sword. Now, reset the game. Call Epona once you get into Hyrule Field, but DON'T activate the Master Sword on the Equipment Screen. Now, when you mount Epona, you'll notice that the Bow & Arrow isn't there. Now, even though you don't see it, you can use the C Buttons. By the way, don't worry: you can get the Master Sword back at the Equipment Screen. I have tested this, and it works, but only on the Gold versions of Zelda (the bugged ones). 5. (C) The Secret Sky Temple - First, create a new file, and make your name "Zelda" or "zelda". Then beat the game. Once you have, go to Death Mountain and find the red flag outside of Goron City. Climb the path that had boulders on it as a kid, and drop into the hole that you see at the top. If you fell in this hole earlier, then you'll see that there was a white cow in the hole. Well, go in there now after having beaten the game as Zelda/zelda, and you'll find that the cow is now purple. (What the hell?) It will let you fly on it. Fly around until you find the Sky Temple. THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE UNTRUE. 6. (C) The Ice Sword - First, start a new game and enter your name as "IceS". Like the Fire Sword, you cannot get hit by any of the Bosses as a kid (Gohma, King Dodongo, Barinade). If you do, reset and start from your last save. You CAN get hit by sub-bosses and the like. Now, go to the Temple of Time, and instead of pulling the Master Sword from the altar, use the Sun's Song to pass six days while in the Temple of Time. Now, pull out the Master Sword and beat the Forest Temple (you may be hit here). Now, go back to the Temple of Time, turn back to Young Link, and talk to Saria. She says the same thing, but it triggers a door to open up randomly, at any location in the game. Find your "door" and enter it. You will find a chest with a Red Rupee in it. Now, exit the door, and another one will be triggered at a random location in the game. Enter it, and you'll find a HUGE chest. Open it with the Song of Time and go in it (apparently, it's that big). Now, play the Song of Storms and another chest will open, "revealing all". You will get the Ice Sword. It is supposedly 10x powerful as the Master Sword and 5x powerful as the Fire Sword, and you can use it for both Links and it's not two-handed. Press B and Link will do a Freeze Spin, which is, I guess, a Spin Slash that hits enemies with a blast of ice that freezes them. If you have the Biggoron Sword, it will disappear, as you cannot have both swords. THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE UNTRUE. 7. (C) - The Pegasus Boots - If you beat the Running Man (the guy who will race you from Gerudo Valley to Kokiri Forest) in under one minute, he'll give you the Pegasus Boots, which work like an upgrade to your Kokiri Boots. They make you run faster than you would ride on Epona. THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE UNTRUE. On a side note, I'd like to encourage you all to go to The Odyssey of Hyrule at [http://www.tbi.net/~max/zelda64.htm] and check out the greatest mystery of Zelda 64 - the Triforce. Can you get it or not? Why is there a Triforce mark in the center of Medallions? Does this suggest that there in fact IS an obtainable Triforce in the game? Read all the controversy about it there! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ------------- X.
