Legends of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time - Hot Hints - Game Codes

There is a way to get more than 4 bottles. Actually, you can get as may
as there are items on the screen. to get them, go to something you can
catch in one. make sure you are in range, then press A. just as link starts
swinging, press start and replace the bottle with an item. the item
will disapear and another bottle will be n its place. but the downside is
you can never get the item back. Also, if you can only use the item as a
kid, you can only use the bottle as a kid.

Breaking open boxes:
To break open a regular brown wooden box, just run at it and press A. Link will roll
and smash open the box. This is useful when finding all the chickens and to get a
Skulltula in the Marketplace room with the pots.

Hidden pictures:
Go to where Zelda is met for the first time. Look into the window on her left, as you
enter. Pictures of Yoshi, Princess Toadstool, Mario, Bowser and Luigi can be seen.
Look from different angles to see them all. Throw something into the window with Mario
to receive 20 rupees. Throwing something into the other window will result in a lit
bomb being thrown back at Link.

Star Wars cameo:
Go into the Bombchu Bowling Alley in the market as child Link. Press C-Up to switch
to the first-person look-around view. Look at the music machine of the bowling alley
to see that R2D2 has found an interesting job.

The chicken game:
When at Lon Lon Ranch, go visit Talon, the character you woke up before at Hyrule
Castle. Accept his offer when he asks if you want to play a chicken game. To catch
the three chickens, move to the corners of the room and just start grabbing all the
chickens. It helps if you watch where at least one of them lands, to capture one
quickly. As a reward for completing the game, Link will receive a bottle of milk
which restores five hearts to his health.

To capture the chickens easily, pick up all the chickens before talking to Talon.
Place the chickens in the corner between the table, the stairs, and Talon. They will
stay there and allow Link to find the super chickens without the other chickens
wandering around.

Finding the key at the Treasure Box Shop:
Go to the Treasure Box Shop in the Market at night as a child. Talk to the man to
get the first key, then use the Lens of Truth to learn which box contains the key.

Kill the rolling Goron:
To kill the giant rolling Goron in Goron City, bomb him about ten times. After the
ninth bombing, he will grunt and the other Goron's will run out to kill you. Note:
The rolling Goron can not be killed if the bomb bag has already been obtained from
him,

Finding Saria:
When finding Saria, go to the Lost Woods and move in the following directions:
Right, Left, Right , Left, Center, Left, Right.

Fairy fountain locations:

After getting the Goron's Bracelet and the Bomb Bag, search Hyrule Field for
suspicious looking boulders for a fairy fountain. In the same tomb where a Hylian
Shield is found, destroy the wall to find a fairy
fountain. On the way to Zora's Domain, move along the green shores of Zora'a River.
Bomb a boulder at this location to discover a fairy fountain beneath it.
When leaving the Sacred Forest meadow, a ladder will appear on a hedge. This leads
to a clearing that contains a boulder. A fairy fountain is under the boulder.
In the watery paradise of Zora's Domain, play the Song of Storms to open a hole in a
platform. The hole leads to a fountain below.
In the dry desert after playing the Song of Storms, a hole will open up in the ground
that will lead to a fairy fountain.

Great fairy of power:
This Great fairy gives Link the "spin slash" attack. She is located at Death Mountain,
outside the crater to the left of the entrance, behind a bomb-able wall.
Great fairy of wisdom:
This Great fairy doubles Link's magic meter. She is located inside the Death Mountain
crater. Face the entrance to Goron City (inside the crater). A bridge will be to the
right. Use the megaton hammer (obtained after passing the Fire Temple) to destroy the
rocks blocking the entrance. Bombs will have no effect.
Great fairy of courage:
This Great fairy doubles adult Link's defensive powers. She is located near Ganon's
castle. Obtain the Golden Gauntlets inside Ganon's castle. Use them to lift the column
that is blocking the entrance, which is to the right, when facing Ganon's tower.
Great fairy of magic:
This Great fairy is located at the same spot as the Great fairy of courage when Link
is a child. Use a bomb to open the entrance. She will give Link a new spell, "Din's
Fire".
Great fairy of magic:
She is located behind Zora's fountain, when Link is a kid. Move all the way behind
the fountain to find a piece of land. Then, destroy the wall behind it. She will
give Link a new spell, "Ferore's Wind".
Great fairy of magic:
This great fairy is located between the two palm trees at the desert colossus. Use
a bomb at the crack on the wall. She will give Link the "Nayru's Love" spell.
Finding a bag that holds 40 seeds:
Go to the Lost Woods. After entering, turn right and continue forward to a ledge
with a fence and ladder to the left. A metal circular object will be suspended from a
tree at this location. Shoot it three times exactly in the center with the slingshot
and to receive the bag. A "100" will flash when your shot hits the center. You must
score "100" three times in a row.

Defeating Dark Link:
During the battle with the Dark Link in the Water Temple, press Z to lock on to him,
then press Forward and B to jab at him until he is defeated.

The best way to kill Dark Link is with the Megaton Hammer. When you enter the room,
go to the far end and turn around. Dark Link will be waiting. When the battle starts,
do not lock onto him. Instead, equip the Megaton Hammer. Use the Megaton Hammer when
Dark Link is close during the battle.

An alternate strategy is to get close to him and use Din's Fire until he is defeated.

The absolute fastest way to kill Dark Link is to use the jabbing method (lock on to
him, then press Forward and B) continuously while using the Biggoron's Sword. If done
correctly and fast enough, he will die before he starts attacking Link.

Defeating Ganon:
Note: The following strategy is for defeating "Ganon" the Monster, not "Ganondorf the
Great King of Evil". Equip the Megaton Hammer then run at Ganon. When he raises his
arm to slice you or hit you with his sword, immediately roll between his legs. Then
Z-lock his tail and use the jump attack. This strategy works when you get the Master
Sword back from past the Ring Of Fire.

Defeating Ganondorf:
When Ganondorf creates a gap on the floor when you are fighting him, do not jump it
and lose valuable hitting time. Instead, before entering the room with Ganondofr,
equip the Hover Boots. Then, when he is down on the floor after playing "Tennis" with
him, fly across using your hover boots and swing your sword at him. Doing this saves
valuable time and it is quicker and easier then jumping across and waiting for Link to
land.

Finding the Giant's Knife:
Go to Goron City as young Link. On one of the floors is a wall that appears
questionable. Blow it up, then keep destroying the other walls behind it. Talk to the
big may to learn that he is working on a weapon. Return as older Link to receive the
Giant's Knife. Note: It will break with about five swings.

Getting Gold Skulltulas:
Capture a bug in a bottle and drop them on some soft soil, where Link would put some
Magic Beans. A Gold Skulltula will appear. Kill it and get your new found token. This
works on all of them except the soft soil spot right next to the man that sells the
Magic Beans.

Unlimited Skulltulas:
Go outside Hyrule Castle as young Link to where Talon is met. There will be a tree at
that location. Play The Song of Storms and a grotto will appear. Enter the grotto,
destroy the walls with a bomb, and kill the Skullata. Use the boomerang to get the
token while doing a back flip to escape. Keep repeating this to get unlimited skullatas.
Note: If done incorrectly. reset game and try again.

Getting the Biggest Quiver:
Enter the archery game as an adult after getting the Gerudo Membership Card. It costs
20 rupees to play, but is worth it. Play the first time and get 1,000 points and to
receive a Heart Container. Play the game a second time and get 1,500 points and to
receive the Biggest Quiver, which holds up to fifty arrows. When starting the archery
game, aim for the bulls-eye and fire to get 100 points each time. Also shoot at the
target at the end. When you come around the end target, aim for the clay jars. Shoot
them to collect 100 points per jar. Keep getting 100's on the targets and successfully
shoot all the clay jars to get the required 1,500 points for the Biggest Quiver.

Trading all the masks:

Fox Mask
Royal Guard at the edge of Kakariko Village on the way up to Death Mountain.
Skull Mask
In the Lost Forest. Enter the forest and move to the left. Hop on the tree stump while
wearing the mask and play Saria's Song. The Skull Kid will then ask Link for the mask.
Spooky Mask
Sell it to the boy in the Graveyard in Kakariko Village.
Bunny Mask
Sell it to the man running around in the Hyrule Field by Lon Lon Ranch. You must first
beat the Forest Temple as Adult Link and then travel back in time to find the jogger.
Mask of Truth
With this mask Link can talk to the "Gossip Stones" that have the eye on them. They
will reveal helpful hints throughout the game.
Illegal fishing lure (sinking lure):
Use the following steps to get a better fishing lure that can catch more fish. As an
adult, walk to the log that is sticking out in the pond. Walk around on it awhile to
find a sinking lure, that can catch fish almost every time. Note: The lure may only be
used once, and if used to catch a record weight fish, the counterman will not give Link
a prize. The sign on the tank will also be marked with "With illegal fishing lure".

Catching big fish:
Cast at the logs or sticks in the water. You can catch a 22 lb. fish at those locations.

Hat lure:
Go to the fishing pond as an adult. The owner will now be wearing a hat. Cast at him and
to steal his hat. Do not give it back and you can use it as a lure. He will charge you
for it when it is used.

Go to the fishing game at Lake Hylia, and cast the rod at the man at the counter. If
you catch his hat, get the sinking lure (as explained in the "Illegal fishing lure
(sinking lure)" hint. The hat will disappear and the man will never have it again.
Note: This will not work if the sinking lure has already been collected.

Hatless man at the pond:
Get very close to the man at the fishing pond and cast your line. It may take a
couple of tries, but if you aim correctly you can steal his hat. If you can spare
thirty rupees, walk out into the middle of the pond with the Iron Boots. Cast a few
times, and his hat will come off. The man will be hatless for the rest of the game.

Free Lon Lon Milk:
Approach any cow with an empty bottle and play Epona's Song. The song will remind
the cow of the pasture, and will give Link free milk.

Ocarina flats and sharps:
Hold R and press one of the Ocarina playing buttons to make a sharp note, or Z to
make a flat.

Fix a broken sign:
After slashing a sign and breaking it, play Zelda's Lulluby while standing in front
of the pieces.

Chicken attack:
As in previous games in the series, if Link approaches a chicken and hurts it in some
way, it will call for others to attack. The attack can be stopped by entering door or
leaving the area.

Avoid skeletons while in Hyrule Field:
The skeletons in Hyrule Field will not chase Link if he wears the bunny hood, or walks
on dirt trails for softer footsteps.

Multiply bugs:
Capture or buy a bug, then dump them on the ground. Three of them should appear. Use
the same jar to capture the first bug. Bring out another jar and catch one of the
other bugs that are on the ground. Repeat to multiply the number of bugs that have
been captured. This is useful when hunting the Gold Skulltulas in the soft soil.

Getting Biggoron's Sword:
Use the following long trading sequence as an adult to get Biggoron's Sword. Go to
the lady that gave young Link the empty bottle, when her Cuccos were rescued. She will
give Link a Pocket Cucco egg. Wait for the egg to hatch, then bring it to Talon in
Kakariko Village. Bring the Cucco back to the lady, to receive Cojiro, the Blue Cucco.
Go to the Lost Woods, then turn right at the entrance. Give Cojiro to the man to
receive an Odd Mushroom, which will spoil if too much time is wasted. Rush to the
Potion shop in Kakariko Village, then go left into the room. Run into the shop to
the right, then give the Mushroom to the lady at that location. She will give Link
an Odd Potion. Hurry back to the Lost Woods. The man will be gone, but a Kokiri will
be here. Give the Potion to her to receive the Poacher's Saw. Ride the horse to
Gerudo Valley. There is a broken bridge here, so whip Epona to jump it. Give the
saw to the carpenter that is outside to receive Biggoron's Broken Sword. Go to the
top of Death Mountain, then walk to the right. Biggoron will appear, rubbing his eyes.
He has an eye infection and will give link a Prescription. Bring the Prescription to
King Zora after he has been unfrozen to receive the Eyeball frog, an ingredient for
the Eyedrops. Hurry to the Lakeside Laboratory at Lake Hylia and give the Eyeball
Frog to the Old Man. He will give Link the Eyedrops. Hurry back up to the Death
Mountain Summit and ive the Eyedrops to Biggoron. After using them, he will give
Link a Claim Check. Wait three days (play the Sun's Song six times to quickly pass
the time), give him back the Claim Check to receive Biggoron's Sword. This weapon is
twice as powerful as the Master Sword, and will not break like the Giant's Knife.
Note: If Link is late during any of the time-sensitive parts of the trade, the game
will restart back at the person you need to give the item to, and allow another try.
Ocarina songs may not be used to teleport to a location during the trade.

Coming down from Death Mountain:
Talk to Capoera Gobera (the owl) when at the top of Death Mountain as a child. He will
take you down the mountain.

The Fifth Bottle:
Get Biggoron's sword with the claim check. Go to a Fairy fountain with an empty bottle.
Swing the bottle, and pause the game half way through the swing. Place the claim check
in the same spot as the bottle. The claim check with become, a fifth bottle. It may
take a few tries, but when you get out the claim check, pressing the C button that it
is on may help.

Gossip Stone blast off:
Drop a bomb near a Gossip Stone. It will begin blinking blue and blast off into space.
If the stone hits anything, it will explode like a bomb.

Drop a bomb near a Gossip Stone and wait for it to explode. The stone will start
blinking blue, blue, blue, red before launching. Hit the stone while it is blue to
keep it at that color. To keep it red, wait until it flashes blue three times, then
press B to hit it while it is gray.

Stretching a Gossip Stone:
Hit a Gossip Stone with the hammer. Alternatively, stand in front of a Gossip Stone
and use Din's Fire.

Malon's obstacle course:
Return to Lon Lon Ranch after getting Talon to go back home (by waking him up with
the Cucco the girl in Kakariko Village gives Link). Complete Malon's obstacle course
at as an adult (talk to her while on Epona) in under fifty seconds. If successful,
she'll give Link a cow! It will be at his house in Kokiri Forest. Use it to get Lon
Lon Milk by playing Epona's Song in front of the cow.

Free Fairies:
Play Zelda's Lullaby in front of a Gossip Stone and they will give you a free Fairy.
Play the Song of Storms in front of a Gossip Stone and it will give you a Big Fairy.
Get a butterfly to land on a Deku stick and it will turn into a Fairy. Slowly walk
towards the butterfly with a Deku Stick out; this requires patience. Play the Song
of Storms near a soft patch of soil with a Magic Bean planted. It will grow and
produce three regular Fairies.

Ending bonus:
Successfully complete the game and wait at the "The End" screen. Eventually, the
Scarecrow's Song will begin playing with different instruments.

Extra challenge:
To add to the challenge of completing the game, try skipping almost all of the
heart-extending power-ups gained from defeating the Bosses. For example, you may
want to win and save a game where you have beaten Gannon with a life meter with a
maximum capacity of five hearts. For a very serious challenge, try completing the
game without picking up any life-extending heart containers.

Exploring the underwater cave in Zora's Domain :
Enter Zora's Domain as a child. Go up to the Zora that offers the diving game for
twenty rupees. Talk to him and play the game. After diving in the water swim to the
right, to the ladder. Climb the ladder and wait for the diving game timer to run out.
When it reaches one, jump off. If Link is in the air when time runs out, he will hit
the water and sink to the bottom. After reaching the bottom, he can swim into the
little cave (which is empty).

Keep Fire Room pathway from sinking:
The main pathway in the Fire Room of Ganon's Castle can be kept from sinking. Equip
the Hover Boots and instead of jumping onto the main pathway, roll onto it. You will
hover over it, then come down onto it. The main pathway will not sink. To keep it in
this state, keep the Hover Boots equipped and always roll onto the to the main pathway
when returning.

Deku Nut upgrade:
When Link is running through the Lost Woods, he will find two boulders. One boulder
will be near the beginning of the maze and the other will be near the end. Go after
the boulder near the end, and bomb or hammer it. Fall into the hole that appears to
find 2 Deku business scrubs. Defeat the first scrub and he will allow Link to carry
up to 30 Deku nuts.

Carry up to 20 Deku Sticks:
As Link enters the Lost Woods from the Kokiri Forest as a child, go through the tunnel
to the left. Link will be in the room with the skeleton. Then, take a left. A Deku
Shrub will begin shooting at Link as he walks under the bridge. Defeat him to gain
the ability to hold twenty Deku Sticks.

Save Deku Sticks:
You do not have to let a Deku Stick burn out after setting it on fire. Put it away
before it burns out by selecting another weapon that you have ready to use. For
example, if you have a burning stick that is equipped with C-
