Easter Eggs

Glitches

Adventure of Link: Unlimited magic refills

Now this is a neat trick. When using the gold granny in towns to refill your magic, she fills it up completely. Due to a glitch in the game, you can have unlimited refills in one visit. As long as the gauge in filling, you can use as much magic as possible, but once the gauge has filled completely the unlimited refill is over.

This is handy for towns without life refills or ones in which you need magic to gain access to other areas in the town.

*NOTE: This unlimited magic trick does not work with red/blue magic refill bottles found on the field. The red magic refill bottles refill 8 squares, so technically you would only be able to use 8 squares worth of magic during the refill. For example, Shield magic uses 16 units of magic, or 1 box worth. It all comes down to math, and you thought math would never help you out in something like video games. Math is power!

Infinite Gold Skulltulas in OOT

Open the grotto behind the Hyrule castle's inner gate (next to the tree) by playing the Song of Storms. Enter it and open the bombable wall with the gold skultulla behind it. Kill the gold skulltula and Z-target it (L-target if on the Gamecube version).Move infront of the pedestal that sends you out and throw your boomerang at it. While the boomerang returns to you, backflip onto the pedestal while it is about half-way to you. When you begin to exit the dialog box should begin to appear and may have a few words in it. If you exit the cave before the dialog box fills, and after you have caught the boomerang. you have completed the trick succesfully. Look on your Quest Status Sub-Screen and see that your gold skulltula count has gone up by one, but if you go back into the grotto the gold skulltula will appear there. Allowing you to utilize this trick as much as you like.

Note: Do NOT let your gold skulltula coiunt go above 255 because this will cause the game to crash.

Invisible Great Fairy Sword (Majora's Mask)

In order for the greatest weapon in the game to become invisible (the Great Fairy Sword or GFS), you will need the GFS (duh) and the Postman's Hat. Wear the hat, and have the GFS equipped to an item button (anywhere on the c-stick, doesnt matter which one) and have it out. walk up to a postbox, and when it asks for a letter, tilt the stick (or press the X, Y, Z button to correspond to it) in the direction of the GFS. the mailbox will refuse it, and when you regain control of Link, the sword will be invisible. Links hands will appear to hold nothing, but swing the sword and an air swipe will appear. the invisible sword will only last for that section of clock town you are in until you leave to go to termina field or another area in clock town.

Keep data saved at owl statues with only one save file (Majora's Mask)

(Note: This trick only works for Majoras Mask on the Legend of Zelda: Collectors Edition disc.)

If you have a game saved at an owl statue, you can keep it without having to create a backup copy of the data. When you get to the file selection screen, remove the memory card from the GameCube. Load the game data and choose to continue without saving. When you save the game at either an owl statue, or by using the Song of Time, it will tell you the data cannot be saved. Reinsert the memory card into the GameCube at that point and it should save.

Prevent falling damage (Majoras Mask)

If you have a transformation on, keep hitting the C button with the mask on it and once you fall to the ground, you will take the mask off (If you hit the button quick enough). It should prevent all falling damage.

Save Anytime on Majora's Mask

On Majora's Mask you can make a save anytime! You need both files open for this or it won't work.

Simply save the game at an owl statue like normal, then when the game exits, go to the file select and copy the file you just saved to Save 2, then you can continue the game without having to worry about the game freezing (making you lose all your progress) and you can get a good save at any time.

Unlimited bottles in Ocarina of Time.

In order to pull this trick off, simply take an empty bottle and assign it to one of the C buttons. Swipe at a bug, fish, or a fairy. Just before you actually catch it, hit start and switch the empty bottle with a useless item (magic beans or claim check). The useless item will be replaced by a new bottle. Repeat as desired.

WARNING: There is no way to undo this glitch, so make sure you are positive that you don't need that item anymore before you do it.

Cheat at Postmans game(Majora's Mask)

There is a minigame where the Postman asks you to stop a clock exactly at ten seconds. Normally the clock will disappear after two second, leaving you to guess, but if you wear the Bunny Hood the timer stays up on the screen. This is good since he gives you 50 rupees after the second time you win. Repeat for big bucks.

Infinite Money at Will (Ocarina of Time)

In the past, there is a beggar in the Hyrule Castle Market that asks you to sell him things with C. In the future, that same beggar is relocated to Kakariko Village, which is perfect for arguably the fastest non-Skulltulla money trick in the game.

Behind the old lady's potion shop in Kakariko lies a grotto, and within it, a fish. Bring a bunch of empty bottles to the grotto, then enter and re-enter the grotto until you're able to fill all of your bottles with fish. The beggar will buy each fish for 100 rupees, and you can repeat this process as many times as you wish until your money is maxed out. This obviously works best when you have the Giant's Wallet and are able to carry a maximum of 500 rupees at a time.

Receive the Sinking Lure in Ocarina of Time.

If you want to easily catch really big fish in the fishing pond without having to spend countless hours, then make sure you have caught the "lunker" fish as an adult and have obtained the gold scale. Now go to the fishing pond and you will find a new lure in one of three places: 1.) in the feeder creek, 2.) in the grass around the perimeter of the area, or 3.) on the log jutting out of the pond. Once you find this lure, try fishing with it. It is irresistible to fish, so catching a 20 pounder will be no problem. However, if you set any records by using this lure, the fish you have caught will be noted as illegal on the aquarium and at the record board in Link's house.

To do this glitch/cheat you must be on epona and the fierce deity mask must be equipped to a C button. Go to either the Milk Road or Southern Swamp owl statue and z target it and press a while still on epona. Use the statues' save option. Then go back into the game after saving with the statue. About 1 time out of 10 you'll be on epona when you resume play. This has a better chance of working if your on Epona before you enter Milk Road or the Southern Swamp. After this, press the C-button with the fierce deity mask to transform. You should start to hear a beeping noise. Now you must wait until the 2nd day. DO NOT PRESS ANYTHING UNTIL THE 2ND DAY or else your game might freeze. When the second day comes the beeping noise should go away. Now hold Z and press A. You should fall into the ground and reappear as fierce deity. After this you can pause the game without it freezing. NOTE: This glitch only works with the NTSC version of the game.

First, get yourself the Oni Link in the field, then return to Clock Town (take care of all other things for Oni Link BEFORE you become Oni Link, or it will not work, seeing as how you can't use items.) Now that you're Oni Link, you'll be wielding his fantastic Double Helix. From testing, we've found the safest place to do this is in the Milk Bar. When you enter the Milk Bar, weapons will be banned, causing Oni Link to be weaponless. Well, if you attempt to block, he'll use his right arm as a sheild! You can run around like this for a good amount of time, but actual field testing if the weapon works is impossible, seeing as how he has a weapon outside...

Also, while in a building, if you hold down Z, Link's sword will glow even though it's not there!

Press the analog stick forward to find that you can use Epona without having Link on her. If you press the A-button to "curl," it will say that you can't fit on Epona, but actually you'll be riding in mid-air above her. Exit Milk Road and you'll be riding her as Goron Link! You can also do this in Clock Town but you will just be Epona, you can't ride her as a goron. You can do this on anyday. CAUTION: If you try to shoot the bow as Goron Link, the game will freeze.

Go to the pond as adult Link. Put the Hover Boots on, and pay the guy to fish. Once you have the rod, run onto the pond, and cast while hovering. You can now walk around with the rod cast! While you can do this, let a fish bite the rod. When it has, hold in "A" so as not to loose the fish. Run over to the pond owner, and tell him you want to quit. You'll loose the rod, yet the fish will be stuck in the place it was in before you chose to quit. Now, simply run over to the fish, and the little scene which plays when you catch a fish will play. And there you have it! You can use this to catch the biggest, hardest to reel in fish in the pond with great ease!

Pass through objects

This is a very unusual glitch that requires you to interact with the cartridge itself. When you come up to a character or object that's blocking your path (such as Mido or the Kokiri blocking the forest exit at the beginning of the game), you must pull up VERY gently on the left side of the cartidge. If done so correctly, the screen will become a bit fuzzy, and if you move forward, you can use this tme to walk through people and objects that aren't completely solid. This trick gives you access to portions of the game you wouldn't be able to get to until later.

Next, throw the Boomerang at the token and as soon as it hit's the token step back on the circle. You will be back at the surface. If you did this right the gold skulltulla should still be there. Repeat this process until you have 100 or more.

Go to Hyrule Field and play Epona's song to get Epona. Now press different C buttons to use the items. You can use Deku Nuts to get off the horse and walk on foot and control the horse at the same time. You can also use the hookshot if you want the game to lock up.
NOTE : You won't lose the Master Sword by doing this. Any time you want it back to normal, equip a sword or go back in time.

Use the Lens of Truth without using magic

Play the Song of Storms. As soon as you regain control of Link, use the Lens of Truth. If this is done correctly, the white border around the magic meter will not flash and you can have the Lens on without depleting your magic.

Secrets

Free Hylian Shield

When you're a kid you can get the Hylian Sheild for free instead of wasting 80 rupees. First go to the graveyard in Kakariko village and wait for night. Then pull the tombstones that have flowers in front of them back and go down their holes. When You find the right one it will have a treasure chest inside. Inside that is the Hylian Shield.

Free Masks At The Mask Shop

This won't work unless you've already sold the Keaton mask to the guard outside of Death Mountain. Once you've done so, before getting the Skull Mask you can ask to borrow the Keaton Mask again for free. Once you've done so, leave the shop, go back in and ask to trade masks. You can trade the Keaton mask for the Skull mask (he'll say you have to pay, but you won't) for free! It even makes the sound of you giving him the rupees, but you'll still have all your money. The same works for the Spooky mask and the Rabbit hood, you just have to trade the mask that you sold before it.

Get Fire Arrows Early

First, get the scarecrow song as a kid. To do this, go to Lake Hylia as a kid through Zora's Domain. Talk to the scarecrow on the shore, the fist by the lake. Take out your ocarina and he'll want to play. Play a song you made and that's your song. Be sure to remember it. Next, you'll need the Longshot. To get this, beat Dark Link in the Water Temple. As an adult, go to the scarecrows and play the song for the first one. Piere will now appear where there is a green Navi but nothing there. Now, when the sun is rising, shoot the sun with an arrow by the Water warp point (with the Water Medalion on it. When the Fire arrows appear, go down the hill. Don't drop, just go to the edge. Play the scarecrow song to make Piere appear. Use the Longshot to hook on and grab the arrows. Good Job! P.S. The Fire Arrows light things on fire. Duh!

Get the golden scale as a kid!

When you are a child, go to the fishing pond and start fishing like normal. Keep fishing until you get a fish that’s big enough to earn a heart piece. Instead of going to the fishing owner, go into the middle of the pond. Face towards the owner in the water and hold Z + R (lock and shield). Don’t let go and swim and run to him. Once you reach him, talk to him without letting go of Z and R. He’ll give you the golden scale instead of a heart piece!

This allows you to do many things early on. Such as entering Zora’s Domain without having to play Zelda’s Lullaby. Or getting the heart piece from the Lakeside Laboratory (letting you have both the scale and heart piece.)

Giant monsters

If you continously kill the same type of monster, you will encounter a giant version of the type you've been killing. This works on Stalchildren, Guays, and Leevers.

Infinite money at will

In the past, there is a beggar in the Hyrule Castle Market that asks you to sell him things with C. In the future, that same beggar is relocated to Kakariko Village, which is perfect for arguably the fastest non-Skulltulla money trick in the game.

Behind the old lady's potion shop in Kakariko lies a grotto, and within it, a fish. Bring a bunch of empty bottles to the grotto, then enter and re-enter the grotto until you're able to fill all of your bottles with fish. The beggar will buy each fish for 100 rupees, and you can repeat this process as many times as you wish until your money is maxed out. This obviously works best when you have the Giant's Wallet and are able to carry a maximum of 500 rupees at a time.

Kill Zombies Easier

Play the sun song anywhere where there are zombies. They will freeze and be easier to kill because they won't attack you.

Make the Sinking Lure legal

This will make the fish you catch with the Sinking Lure be legal, as if you had caught them without it. After getting the Sinking Lure, go to the fisherman and say to him "Let's talk about something else". He will then allow you to use the Sinking Lure, and the fish you catch with it will no longer be noted as being "Illegal".

Note: You will still need to find the Sinking Lure each time you come back.

Never Lose Tunic or Shield

To not lose your tunic or shield when you are eaten by a like-like, put on the kokiri(green) tunic and the mirror shield. Since both of these are one of a kind and can't be re-bought,the like-like can't eat them.

Sinking Lure

If you want to easily catch really big fish in the fishing pond without having to spend countless hours, then make sure you have caught the "lunker" fish as an adult and have obtained the gold scale. Now go to the fishing pond and you will find a new lure in one of three places: 1.) in the feeder creek, 2.) in the grass around the perimeter of the area, or 3.) on the log jutting out of the pond. Once you find this lure, try fishing with it. It is irresistible to fish, so catching a 20 pounder will be no problem. However, if you set any records by using this lure, the fish you have caught will be noted as illegal on the aquarium and at the record board in Link's house.

Glitches

Avoid Forced Battle Scenes

To avoid forced battles (battles by stepping on a certain tile on the field) simply wait in front of it until monsters appear and when one steps on the tile, move onto the tile and you'll go into a battle scene from the monster, not the tile. Most monster battle scenes are much easier than the tile's. Extremely useful when going to the Great Palace.

Warp Hole

In some castles and action screens it is possible to jump higher than the stats at the top of the screen. If the spell Fairy is used when Link is above the stats and you try to move to a side, he will fall through a warp hole. In the action screens Link will simply reappear on the same action screen. While, in the castles, he will end up on top of or in another room, on top of the castle entrance, or in an elevator below the castles entrance and stuck. If he gets stuck below the castle, you will need to reset the game. Also, the spell Jump can help with this glitch.

Earn quick experience for new character

To quickly earn more experience for a new character, first have a character who is far along in the game but hasn't done all the palaces yet. Have this character beat a palace and go to the place to insert the gem.

When you insert the gem and the experience points start to total up, pause and do the Quick Save. Then, load your new character. All of the experience points which would've gone to the character you beat the palace with will now go to your new character.

No keys

If you come to a locked door and hove no key you can simply use the Fairy spell and fly right throuogh the keyhole. And sometimes if you have enough magic you can make it through the whole palace just using this trick.
