The following are required for this trick: a Bomb Bag, Bomb, Code
for Observatory (you can use the front door but the back door
is better), the Ocarina Of Time, and the Song Of Time. As normal
Link buy the Bomb Bag at the Bomb shop (50 coins?), then buy a
Bomb or get them free by cutting weeds. Go to the kid that is
blocking the observatory and give him the code (you should need
to have the code to become normal Link). When you get to the water,
go left instead of right to find a wall that can be bombed. Bomb
it and go inside to find a chest with 100 silver rupees. Go to
the bank (the man on the wall opposite the shops in the west part
of Clock Town). Deposit the coins and play the Ocarina Of Time.
The bank teller has marked you to remember what he owes you, so
your cash stays intact in the bank. However, the contents of the
chest will reset. This is true of all coin chests in the game,
so you can use this trick at any time.
