(in order of coolness, in my opinion)
Found: Lake Hylia (to get there as an Adult you'll need to plant a bean in the soil near the science lab. However, after you beat the Water Temple you can get there without it).
Price: 20 Rupees
Ah yes, the most popular mini-game in Zelda! Just cast your line and attempt to catch fish. You can catch fish using Z-targetting, but the chances of getting one over a few pounds this way is slim at best. Instead, fish around the center of the lake where the big log is, that's the best way to catch the lunkers! If you get one over 10 pounds you get a Heart piece, one over 15 grants you the Golden Scale, which allows you to dive underwater for a long time! After you acquire the Zora Tunic and Iron Boots you can go under and look for the big ones...also, you can collect a Sinking Lure by walking around for awhile. It's always in a different location...Much fun.
Found: Hyrule Castle
Price: Free
Is this REALLY a Mini-Game? Probably not, but I don't care, it's pretty darn fun! I have my own file where I can play around with them...Just watch their patterns and sneak by.
Found: Market as Young Link, at night
Price: 30 Rupees
You get 10 Bombchues and you have to hit the center of the large target that is some distance away, three times. The first time a switch blade will seing back and fourth, the second time a cucco is added to the mix, and the third time a huge hen will join the party. Almost impossible to win, but the prizes are top-notch. Heart Pieces, Giant Bomb Bags, and Purple Rupees are included, amoung more.
Found: Geurdo Fortress, after saving Carpenters, find the small path to the side and follow it.
Price: 20 Rupees
Basically Epona goes through the path and you have to peg targets with 15 arrows...If you get a bull's eye you get 100 points! You can do this over and over again, which makes this game a cinch. Get over 1000 points to receive a Heart Piece. After that it's just for fun...
Found: Zora's Domain, Young Link
Price: 20 Rupees
Dive off the waterfall and collect all of the Rupees that sexy Zora threw off! After winning you will receive the Silver Scale. Go back and she'll throw REALLY valueable Rupees! One time she threw off TWO ORANGES! That's 100 Rupees!
Found: Lon Lon Ranch, Adult
Price: Altogether, 70 Rupees
Race Ingo on horseback! Wahoo! Here's the sure fire way to win: Stay as close to the fence as you can, and slowly use your carrots to stay ahrad. When you only have one more left, HOLD IT! If you use the last carrot you'll lose a ton of speed. Wait a few seconds for the next to re-generate, then use that one. Near the end, use them all to push yourself ahead. Fun if you win, a bitch if you don't.
Found: Market (Young), Kakariko (old).
Price: 10 Rupees
This one takes a sharp eye...but after practice it's a cinch. You have to shoot at several large Rupees in the distance...they move, rapidly. If you can hit them all you get a prize! Prizes range from Large Deku Seed Bags, Large Arrow Quivers, and Purple Rupees!
Found: Lon Lon Ranch after beating Ingo
Price: Free! Malon sure is nice...looking...
This seems nearly impossible to beat at first, but there's a trick. The first few gates can be crossed without using carrots. Notice how small they are...it's the larger ones you really need to worry about. And that's it, really. Just make sure to never use your last carrot, except on the last stretch on the last lap. You get a cow for beating it in under 50 seconds.
Found: Market, Young Link, at night
Price: 10 Rupees
You are presented two chests...one holds a Rupee, the other has a Key. You need the key to go to the next room, which has a similar situation. If you can get to the end you get a prize! Now, beating this is impossible. Seriously, you CAN NOT DO IT! Then, once you collect the Lens of Truth, it becomes so simple it's laughable. :) The first time you win you'll collect a Heart Piece, then you'll just win Purple Rupees.
(UPDATE: Ok you fags, you can beat the damn game without them. Are you happy?!?!?! Sorry for being so vulgar, but it's starting to get annoying)
Found: Lost Woods
Price: Free in the Lost Woods are two Skull Kids. Show them your Ocarina and they'll present you with a tune. Then you have to play it back, FROM MEMORIZATION! Sounds tough...any idiot can see that all you have to do to win easily is to take out a sheet of paper and right down the notes. Arrows is fine for me...If you don't notice, it's always the same as last time, just with another added note. If you win enough times you'll get a Heart Piece.
Found: Zora's River; Young Link
Price: Free
After playing the Song of Storms for the frogs, play every song you know that doesn't warp you somewhere. Then, the frogs will ask you to play this game. You have to press the button that corresponds to the frog, so they can eat a bug. It's pretty brutal, since you have to have very good eye-hand coordination. However, for those people who....stay indoors a lot...(like me :))...it's easy to memorize. The prize is a Heart Piece.
Found: Kakariko Graveyard, Adult Link, Look under the gravestones to the left
Price: Free
Basically, you follow Dampe's ghost through a bunch of convulting, twisting tunnels. But it's not that simple. He'll toss fireballs behind him. Touch one and you'll be downed for several seconds. He'll also open doors and make them shut after a few seconds, so you better hurry up. It's impossible to beat him, but you get prizes for staying with him. The first time it's the HookShot, then it's Rupees. Beat him in under 1:00 to receive a Piece of Heart. This is REALLY hard, but it is possible. You have to have the LongShot, as far as I know. In the last stretch, at the top are a bunch of torches. USe them as LongShot targets! My best time is 58 seconds using this method. Another great way is to just keep rolling continously. it works! It shaves tons of seconds off your final time. My best time using this with the above trick is 52 seconds...wahoo!
