Hint: Extra lives:
After you have leveled up magic, attack, and life as much as possible, you will earn an additional life for each time you level up.

Hint: Easy points:
Go to the fist palace. Go two screens right of the screen with the candle. You will see skull heads that fly around. They take twenty to thirty slashes to kill and will give you 50 points per head. Keep destroying them to get your points up fast.

When you are near the end of the game, go north of the sixth palace to the jungle forest. Get hit by the little blob. Fight the dinosaur-like enemy with the spear. Destroy him to get 200 points. He is easy to defeat. Go through this process until you have all the points desired.

Hint: The Final Guardian:
Go to the left side of the screen and rapidly tap B when fighting your shadow character.

Hint: Save magic refill time:
While in a town and speaking to the old lady that gives you magic, cast a spell when the magic meter is going up. The magic meter will go down and then continue to go up, no matter how many spells you cast, until filled. Warning: This will not work with any other color jar.

Hint: Open doors without keys:
In Quest II, or when you learn the fairy spell, cast the fairy spell when a locked door is encountered to pass through it.

If you have a shortage on keys in a palace and have enough magic to spare, just use Fairy and you can just fly through a locked door.

Hint: Town Bats:
Go into Water Town and talk to someone a couple of times. He or she will turn into a Bat.

Hint: Avoiding battles:
When on the map screen, stick to the main path. Most enemies who try to engage in battle will fail and just turn up as an empty side-scrolling stage.

Hint: Hidden town:
Go to where the sixth palace is located. Then, go northeast until you see a cave. Go through the cave until you get to the other side. At first you will see woods. Use the hammer to destroy the woods squares. One of the squares will have a hidden town.

Hint: Defeating Knights:
When fighting a Red or Blue Knight, instead of trying to get past his shield, jump up and slash your sword. The sword should still be in front of you when you are descending from the air, causing the sword to hit the knight's head.

Hint: Getting the mirror and Life Spell:
The mirror is in the house that has nothing but a table. Slash the middle of the table with your sword and you will get the mirror. Hand the mirror to the woman that says ''I lost my mirror". Now that she has the mirror, she will let you inside her house. Go down to her basement meet her father to get the Life Spell.

Glitch: Play as dark blue Link:
To play as a dark blue Link, you must have at least have one magic spell in your list of spells. Then, go to a town with an old woman that restores your magic fully. There is usually one in every town. They have white hair and a bright pink glow. Once you are near one of these old women, walk back slightly to get a running start. Run towards the old woman, and once you are at a jumping distance from her, jump. Once in mid-air, press Start and select one of your spells (Life works very well). Use it before hitting the floor. Once you hit the ground, make sure you fall directly in front of her then press B to talk to the old woman. Press B again quickly and walk into her house. When you fall, make sure you are as close to the door of her house as possible and are still executing the spell you chose. After exiting her house, Link should appear dark blue. Note: This glitch only works in towns. Once leaving or entering a house, or going to another part of town, the effect will disappear and Link will turn back to his normal color.
