Keep Track of your Skulltula Collection[edit]
In order to tell if you have all of the Gold Skulltulas for a specific area or temple you can just look at the map. In a temple or dungeon the map will have a gold skull on the left side of the map name if you've collected all the tokens there. On the overworld map a similar skull appears by the dot that shows the main name for the area.

No Magic Use for Lens of Truth[edit]
Play the Song of Storms and instantly equip the Lens of Truth afterwards to use it without depleting your magic.
Quick and Easy Rupees Early[edit]
You can quickly max out your Rupees to 99 extremely early in the game -- to buy the Kokiri Shield, for instance. Once you are searching for the sword and preparing to by the shield at the beginning of the game, head over to the shop. Near the shop there are three man-made square blocks. From the shop side, jump over all three of them without falling into the water. You will be given 5 Rupees. Go into the shop, exit, and do it again. Do this over and over again until you max out your Rupees.

Sinker Lure Locations[edit]
After catching a 10+lb. fish as Young Link or a 15+lb. fish as Adult Link, you can find the Sinking Lure and catch the largest fish in the pond. There are several spots were the Sinker Lure may be in the Fishing Pond at Lake Hylia. Use the Sinker Lure to catch the pike-like Hylian Loach. It's invisible so you must walk over it to find it.
- At the source of the river
- Back flip over the 3 rocks near the poles and river (land on the middle one) at the end of the stream
- On the large, arched log in the water
- In the grass along the outside wall.

Easy Fishing with Hover Boots[edit]
At The Fishing Pond in Lake Hylia, equip your Hover Boots and pay to fish. Run towards the lake until you float -- at the moment you float throw your lure at the lake. If done correctly you'll be able to walk when you're catching a fish. This makes easy to catch the Hylian Loach at the bottom of the lake

King Bowser Pendant[edit]
As Kid Link go to Lon Lon Ranch,and look at Malon's Brooch -- it's seems to be the head of Bowser from Super Mario Bros.! This same image can also be found in Talon's Brooch. Malon and Inigo seem to resemble the Mario Bros. themselves as well...

Beat Phantom Ganon With a Bottle[edit]
You can reflect the Phantom Ganon's magic attack with an empty bottle. This works for the Forest Temple boss, but don't try it on the actual final battle with Ganon!

Easy Huge Rupees[edit]
As adult Link return to the Lost Woods. Go to the places where you would play the Ocarina with the forest kids as young Link (like just to the east of the entrance, the area with target hanging from the tree). The forest kids will start to attack you, since they don't like adults. If you kill them (3 hits with Biggerons sword, 6 hits with the Master sword) you will get one Huge Rupee per kid. There are three kids and they will return with more money if you leave just that area. You do not have to leave the Lost Woods.

Zombies Can't Touch This![edit]
When ever you're near a ReDead or other assorted undead enemy, if you start charging up an attack with your sword you won't believe what happens! The ReDeads (or other) will not chase after you! If they are already going after you, they will just keep walking in that direction, unable to see or hurt you.

Hint - Big Poe Locations[edit]
This is the weird Ghost Shop guy's quest. He says that once you get a 1000 points on your card, you'll 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.
1. At the sign from Hyrule Castle directing you to Lon Lon Ranch.
2. Near the lone tree just outside of the entrance to Lon Lon Ranch.
3. Exit Hyrule Castle and go to the right near the stream, where all of the black bushes are.
4. Exit Kakariko Village and go near the ledge to the right.
5. The Place where the stone wall turns. Go to the left of Lon Lon Ranch if coming from Hyrule Castle.
6. The boulder where the road splits, between Lon Lon Ranch and the Lost Woods.
7. At a patch of grass along the path from location 6. Pass the boulder going straight from Lost Woods. It is between the lone green tree and the small grove.
8. In the grove of trees described in location 7 but slightly to the right exiting Lake Hylia.
9. The place where the road splits outside of the entrance to Gerudo Valley.
10. The only tree near the entrance to Gerudo Valley and below the ledge.
I hope this helps anyone else who had trouble or hsan't had the chance to have trouble with this particular mission.

Heart Pieces with the Boomerang[edit]
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 Zora's 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 you've 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 Village's windmill. This one is simple to get with the Boomerang - there's no need to wait until you come back as Adult Link and get the Hookshot!
You can also get that Heart Piece above Dodongo's 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), you'll land on the ledge.
Day Time Dog[edit]
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!
Get Mask of Truth[edit]
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 Giant's 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 guy's eyes glow red!
Zora Kisses[edit]
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 he'll offer you a Zora Tunic. Since you already have it he'll offer you a big kiss instead.
Rupees From Light Arrows[edit]
If you kill any enemy with nothing but light arrows, when they burn up, they leave behind a purple rupee, worth 50 green rupees.
Magic Spell Locations[edit]
Din's Fire: After collecting some bombs, go to the castle as a child and blow up the rock past the gate.
Farore's 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.
Nayru's Love: Outside of the Spirit Temple, use a bomb on the crack on the walls somewhere nearby in the desert.
Beat Shadow Link Easily[edit]
Use Din's Fire to damage Shadow Link easily.
Sinker Lure[edit]
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.
Cure a Wounded Sign[edit]
If you slash a sign to smithereens, you can put it back together by playing Zelda's lullaby on your ocarina. The sign will magically recreate itself in front of your eyes.
Bottle Locations[edit]
Bottle #1:At Lon Lon Ranch, play Talon's 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.<p>Bottle #3: At Lake Hylia (you must have the silver scale), dive into the water to find a bottle and a letter.<p>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.
Creating Music with the Ocarina[edit]
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!
Easy Way to Beat Mirror Link[edit]
If you use the Megaton Hammer against mirror link he won't be able to mirror your attacks.
Barbecued Link[edit]
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 Ganon's tail. If the trick worked Ganon should get up and Link should be engulfed in flames.
Boot Locations[edit]
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.
Beat Queen Gohma Easily[edit]
When Queen Gohama climbs up on the wall and on to the roof and tries to layeggs you can hit her in the eye with the sling shot and she will fall andbe paralyzed and ready to hit.
Big Bomb Bag[edit]
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.<p>
If you're not very good at bombachu bowling, here's 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.
Chicken Attack[edit]
Any fan of the old Zelda games will have figured this one out already:<P>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 Hitchcock's famous movie.<P>Simply leave the room or area to stop the chicken attack.
Beat the Shadow Temple Mini Boss[edit]
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 won't be hurt.
End Game Song[edit]
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, it'll start playing the song you made up for the scarecrow. Wait another minute or so and it'll 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.
Free Cow[edit]
If you return to Lon Lon Ranch after you get Epeona, Malon will challenge you to a race. If you beat 50 sec. she'll 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!
Finding Gold Skulltulas[edit]
Zelda Ocarina Of Time Walkthrough
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 don't 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.
Extra Bottles[edit]
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 Zora's fountain. Equip a bottle, and swap at a fish. When he is in mid-swap pause it and equip something useless in the bottle's place and it will turn into a bottle. DON'T use something important, because you might not be able to get it back.<p>
NOTE: The bottles will appear in your equipment screen, but you may not be able to use them.
Getting the Biggoron Sword[edit]
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 don't warp or else it will reduce time and you need Epona for this. Use the same carrot method when you beat Ingo for this.<p>
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.<p>
- 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)
- Poacher's Saw-Carpender (Gerudo Valley)
- Goron's Sword-Biggoron (Death Mountain)
- Prescription-King Zora (Zora's Domain)
- Eyeball Frog-Professor (Lake Hylia)
- Eye Drops-Biggoron (Death Mountain)
You will receive a claim check after step 9. Play the Sun's Song 6 times or wait three days to get the Biggoron Sword. Believe me, it's worth all that work!
Hidden Red Fairies (Gossip Stone)[edit]
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:
Zelda's Lullaby, Epona's Song, or Song of Storms.<P>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.
Hidden Gold Rupees[edit]
Don't 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.)<p>
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.<p>
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.<p>
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.
Golden Scales[edit]
Go to the fishing hut when Link is an adult. If you can catch a 15 pound fish you'll receive golden scales. These let you dive to 8 meters.
Great Faerie Locations[edit]
- Magic Spin Slash: On Top of Death Mountain, there is sign, to the left looks like a door, BOMB it to find a door.
- Din's 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.
- Farore's 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.
Multiply Bugs[edit]
Got a few empty bottles to fill with bugs? Here's 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.
Secret of Butterflies[edit]
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.
Scarecrow Song[edit]
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.
Fun with the Fisherman's Hat[edit]
As adult Link, you can hook the fisherman's hat. Just aim at him, then cast. It may take a few tries to find the right place. You'll 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.
Free Fish[edit]
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 don't think!
Mad Soldier[edit]
You know that in the castle courtyard there are the pictures, right? Well, there's also a soldier that's 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. It's not a useful trick, but it's pretty funny to see.
Tunic Locations[edit]
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 Zora's Domain as an adult and unthaw King Zora with a bottle of Blue Fire from the Ice Cavern or the Potion Shop.
Free Hylian Shield[edit]
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.<p>
NOTE: If you already have the Hylian Shield, the chest will contain a blue rupee.
