The secret tunnel in Zora's Domain...I've unlocked it. Guess what's down there? NOTHING!! Ok, here's how to get down there. As a child, go to Zora's Domain and ask the Zora at the top of the waterfall to play the diving game. Run down to the platform with the Zora on it (or should I say island?). It's near the ladder that leads to the exit to Zora's River. Well, wait for the timer to tick down...Make Link face the area that has the secret passageway...When the clock reads 2 seconds, quickly run and jump over the ledge and into the water. If you timed it correctly you should now be standing UNDERWATER with the message of the Zora telling you to try again later. Now, you'll start to rise. Quickly turn around and tap Z abd you'll see the awesome sight inside the secret passageway...!...?...!!??!?!....a block. It's blocked off. Whoohoo, some secret...
If you wear the Bunny Mask, the Stalchilds won't come out of the ground to torrerize you! Not much point in doing this, though...
In the castle courtyard (Hyrule Castle, obviously) are two windows. Hit the one on the left with your Slingshot and a man will come out and tell you not to cause any trouble, then hurl a bomb at you! It's pretty neat...well, unless you get hit by the bomb...
If you're having trouble defeating Phantom Ganondorf, try swinging a bottle at him instead of your sword. It's easier for some people to do, and it works just as well, the energy will bounce right off. Sorta like using the bug net in SNES Zelda against Ganon! Speaking of which, this trick does work on the real Ganondorf.
If you ever see a tall tree, like the kind on Hyrule field, roll into it. Just run at it, press A, and you will roll into it. The tree will shake and something might fall out. Rupees, Bombs, Arrows, Nuts, Sticks...sometimes even a Golden Skulltula...or leaves. Interesting, yes?
In the fishing pond in Lake Hylia, equip the Hoverboots, pay the guy to go fishing, and go up to the edge of the water. Then, run as fast as you can and the Hoverboots should take effect. Right before the effect disipates, cast your line and you'll be floating in mid-air! Not only is this neat, it's useful for catching the lunkers in the middle of the lake. Neat-o...
Go to Kakariko Village as an Adult, with the LongShot, and get on top of the house where the man gives you a Heart Piece. Look at the Windmill...you should see a small hole in the side, use the LongShot on the little box there and you will be pulled there. What's inside? A long staircase with a chicken on the end, and another exit. What is this for? No one knows...
Go into Zora's Domain as a child, turn left, and go down the ladder and into the water. If you dive down into the water you will see a secret passage at the bottom, but you can't get down there, even with the Golden Scale. You can't use the Iron Boots as an adult either, since there is ice covering it. Another mystery...
In the Fishing Pond, wait outside. Wait until night...go inside THE SECOND you hear the Cucco announce the new day. The pond will be all cloudy; and the Hylian Loach will have come out to play! The best way to catch this is to get the Sinking Lure (see below), then just put it a few feet in front of his face. When he starts to move, tap B. With luck, you should have him on his line. He can weigh up to 35 pounds, but all you get is a Purple Rupee, since "...he's such a rare specimen!" The Hylian Loach looks like an eel.
The Sinking Lure will make your bait sink, making it much easier to catch the lunkers that haunt the bottom of the pond (but it's still possible with the regular lure). It's invisible, you can't see it. It generally appears in these areas:
You won't feel a tug on your Rumble Pak if you catch something with this, so be alert at all times.
To find The Stage, you must go right, left, right, left, left in the Lost Woods. The entrance is located by the bunch of butterflies circling an area. Once here, several things can happen depending on what mask you are wearing...
Spooky/Bunny/Goron Mask - They will give you a ton of Rupees! They like ya!
Mask of Truth - They will call you ugly, but give you the Deku Nut upgrade. A glitch makes it impossible to get after becoming an adult.
Skull Mask - Deku Stick upgrade.
Any other mask - They won't like you, they'll pelt you with stones and rubble. He-haw...
Dun dun!!
You can cut signs with your sword, they will be cut up into itty bitty pieces. Use the Megaton Hammer to flip them over. Also, they become un- readable. To restore them, leave the area and return, or play Zelda's Lullabye to make them magically re-assemble themselves.
Gossip Stones, the rubber, one-eyed statues found around Hyrule, are neat little buggers. Play Zelda's Lullabye or Epona's Song for them and they will give you a Red Fairy, which restores all health and magic. You can flatten them like a pancake (Cliche, I know, but I like saying it) with the Megaton Hammer. Use Fire (Fire Arrows or Din's Fire) and they will get straight and spin around like mad. A little spankin; with the sword and they will tell you the current time...a bomb will make them rocket off into space, just like at NASA...
This secret can be gotten by playing the Time Trials game at Lon Lon Ranch (See the Mini-Game section for details). If you get less than 50 seconds, Malon will have a cow delivered to your home!
If you ever see a cow, get up to it and play Epona's Song. It will talk to you, saying they loved it, and fill one of bottles with Lon Lon Milk.
In the Fishing Pond, you can catch the Fisherman's hat by getting far away (about knee-deep in the water), facing him, and casting your line. You'll scare him to death, and you can cast your line with the hat still on! But, it takes longer to reel in and you can't cast as far. You can give the hat back and he'll thank you. However, if you keep it for awhile he'll get pissed and charge you 50 Rupees for it!
Butterflies + Deku Stick = Red Fairy. Isn't that just a great thing? Whahay! It seems all Miyamoto games have some sort of secret with a butterfly...
I'm sure the old timers have already figured this out...If you keep hacking away at a chicken, it will crow and his buddies will come, mad at you for picking on their friend! And they come with a venegence...chickens from Hell!! Run, Billy, run, save yourself!
Inside of Link's House is a small plaque, it will tell you how much your biggest fish weighs, time you took on races, etc., etc...
While on Epona, you are invincible! So, you can run through bushes and blow them away, and collect the items they leave behind at the same time. Also, try running over cuccos in Lon Lon Ranch! Since they can't kill you, it's quite interesting...
While going through the Haunted Wasteland, following the flags, you'll find a sign that points in some direction. Follow it to find a carpet, float there using your Hoverboots. The man there will sell you "something special" for 200 Rupees, but he won't tell you what it is until you fork over the dough. In reality, it's just a bunch of Bombchus. Used car salesmen, anyone?
If you wake up Talon in Kakariko Village (adult) using the chicken that hatches from the egg the chicken lady gives you (see Adult Link's Quest for a Sword Section) and then talk to him, then return to the ranch, everything will be like it was in the old days! Talon will be the owner, and Ingo will be the hard working guy he was before, and he'll be sorry. Now *that's a run-on sentence!
When going through the Haunted Wasteland, you've probably come upon the sign. I forget what it says (and I couldn't care less, actually, so don't e-mail me about it GOD DAMNIT!), but if you follow where it points you will find a man on a flying carpet. Use the Hoverboots to get there. He'll sell you Bombchus for 200 Rupees. RIP OFF!!! Of course, you won't know what it *really* is until you buy it, as he won't tell you (good thing for me, eh?).
After rescueing the four carpenters, return to their tent and talk to them, it's interesting. There, you will also meet the man you should have sold the Bunny Mask to. He offers to race you to the bridge that leads from Hyrule Field to Kokiri Forest. In reality, you can not beat him. No matter what stragedy you use, no matter how brain swuishing the time you get is, he will ALWAYS beat you by one second. He-haw!
After beating the Forest Temple, go talk to Mido (adult Link) - he's in the Lost Woods, remember? Isn't that just heart warming (seriously here)? Well, at least there's no mysteries where Saria's love is at (*cough* *cough*).
If you get Epona and wake up Talon, you can save Lon Lon Ranch (adult Link)! Just some more plot...stuff...it's neat, right? RIGHT?!?!
