The running man in Kakariko Village, that dashes away from you each time you approach, can actually be caught up to. To catch him, run towards him with the Pegasus Shoes. It'll take some practice, but you can catch up to him. Nothing useful happens though, he just tells you about some various things that aren't very important. Still, it's fun to be able to catch him.

Succesfully complete the riddle quest in Link to the Past. After the last riddle the guy will teach you the hurricane blade techinique. Be careful as performing the technique takes a toll from your magic meter.

You must beat Vaati's Palace on Four Swords then succesfully defeat Ganon in Link to the Past. After that go to the remaining hole in the Pyrimad of Power and bomb it. This is the hardest dungeon in the game. I recomend that you carry some faries and cure-all potions.

In rooms with the poltregeist tiles, stand at the edge of the room and face the center of the room. The tiles will bounce harmlessly off the shield.
|
|
Change color of Agahnim's skin/clothes
|
During the Light World fight with Agahnim, he turns into a shadow, and moves around like that. If you bring up the map exactly when he is turning from shadow to real form, his colors will be really distorted, or he will look transparent, just like the 2 fake ones during the second fight. If you keep doing it, his colors will keep changing.

|
Easy Rupees

After obtaining the magic bee, go to the man who sold you the bottle. Release the bee near him and he will buy it for 100 rupees. Go to the dark world and go into the store in town. You can now buy more magic bees and sell them.

Glitch: Instruction manual error
|
Under the items for A Link To The Past, the Roc's Cape is listed. However, it is really the Magic Cape. The Roc's Cape is only in The Four Swords.
|
|
Glitch: Run very fast
|
Jump off Spectacle Rock (near the first warp pad you find in the game) in the Light World and land on top of the cave entrance. You will go into the cave, but the screen change animation will glitch. You will appear in the middle of the screen, but none of the buttons (except Start and Select) will do anything. The only thing you can do at this point is save and quit the game.
|
|
Glitch: Turbo dig
|
When you get the shovel and the magic boomerang (the normal version may also work), you can dig very quickly. Throw the boomerang, quickly change to the shovel, and dig. The spot where the boomerang passes by will be dug.
|
|
Hint: Hidden bee
|
There is a secret bee that will never fly away from you. Go to the cave where the Ice Rod is obtained. In the cave next to that one is a statue of a fairy. Run into it and the bee will appear.
|
|
How to buy a Golden Bee
|
Go to the cave with the Ice Rod, and go into the non-secret entrance, not the one leading to the Ice Rod. Dash into the statue at the end of the passage, and a Golden Bee will pop out. Catch it, and take it to the guy who refuses to sell you the Golden Bees. He will say that they are not as rare as he thought they were and will begin selling Golden Bees.
|
|
Ice Rod
|
Go to where the witch's hut is located and pull up the rock. Go south, then go east There will be two caves, one open and one that needs to be bombed. Bomb it to get the Ice Rod.

Lower magic consumption rate
|
After you obtain the hammer in the Palace of Darkness in the Dark World. Return to Kakariko village in the Light world. Beside the Smith's house, you will see a pole you can now knock down with your hammer, proceed to jump into the well and walk into the door on the north end of the room. You will see a statue of a hand holding a bowl with a red substance in it. Use your magic powder on it and a little demon will appear claiming to curse you. He instead will put a 1/2 mark on the top of your magic gauge, making it use half the amount of magic to use your magic using items such as your medallions and rods.
|
|
The Chickens Attack
|
The Chickens found in Kakariko Village and other areas have a vendetta against you; that is, of course, if you attack them. Hit a chicken enough with your various weapons, whether it be sword, arrow, bomb, whatever, and the chickens will come from all directions to peck you! It's a storm of chickens! Not really a useful secret, but a good one none-the-less, wouldn't you say?
|
|
The Waterfall of Wishing
|
A fairly important secret, the Waterfall of Wishing provides Link the opportunity to upgrade two of his very important items, his Shield and his Boomerang. The Waterfall of Wishing is located at the end of the river in which you get the Flippers from Zora, but on the opposite end of the river. Pass by the Witch's Hut, move the green stone to gain access to the river, and you'll be in the general vicinity. You need the Flippers to access the Waterfall of Wishing, however. Read the signs in the area to find its location, and then jump into the water. Swim north into a waterfall and you'll be in a secret cave. Now, approach the pond in the cave and it'll ask you to throw an item into the water. Throw your Shield in the water to get the Red Shield back, and your Boomerang in the water to get the Magical Boomerang back, both free of charge.

Rescue Zelda
|
At the beginning of the game, Link is in his uncle's home when he hears a call for help from Zelda. Link's uncle will leave the house equiped for battle and tell Link to stay inside. Get out of bed and open the chest to find the Lamp. Leave the house and go north to the castle. The Castle gate will be closed and a guard will tell you to leave. Follow the castle walls to the right and then north. Pick up the bush at the end of the path and fall into the hole. You will find your uncle who has been injured. He will give you his sword and shield and tell you to rescue Zelda. When you leave the passage you will be inside the castle gardens. From here you can enter the castle. Take the stairs at the back of the first level to the first basement level. Defeat the soldier to get the key to open the locked door. Look inside the treasure chest to find a map of the castle. In the northwest corner of the second basement level, kill the guard to open the doors that have locked you in. Enter the room to the right to get a key from the guard and the Boomerang from the chest. Use the key to open the door to the north to get to the lowest basement level. Defeat the enemy with the ball and chain to get the Big Key. Throwing the pots at him will make the battle easier. Unlock Zelda's cell and speak with her. Return to the front room of the first level and Zelda will tell you to go to the throne room. You will find the throne room on the second floor. Push the ornamental shelf from the left side and a passage will be revealed behind it. The next area is very dark. Use your lamp on the torches to light up the area. It will only last for a little while, however. Continue through the sewers and eventually you will reach an area that is lit up. Push the center block up to get to the stairs. In the second room of the 1st floor, pull the level on the right to open the door. Go through the door and you will be in the sanctuary where Zelda will be safe. The priest will tell you you need the Master Sword to defeat Agahnim. He believes that the village elder may know where it is and will mark his house on your map. Take the heart container from the chest to increase you life.

Before you go to Turtle Rock, go to the bomb shop south of the pyramid and buy the super bomb. Drag the bomb behind you and go to the pyramid. Press the A button when you are in front of the large plate with the crack in it on the pyramid and the bomb will blow open a hole. Throw your sword into the water and the faerie will power it up. Also throw your bow and arrows in and she will give you the silver arrows which you need to kill Ganon. To get to the last palace on Turtle Rock, use the flute to get to Death Mountain in the Light World and make your way to the northeast corner of the mountain.On Turtle Rock, hammer the east post, then the north post, and finally the west post and a portal to the dark world will appear. In the Dark World, cast Quake on the Quake tile to open the entrance into the dungeon. Use the Cane of Somaria on the question mark to create a tile that you can use to follow the line across the chasm. In the next room, go through the north door on the east side of the area. Light the four torches with the Firerod as you pass by them and then quickly go through the open door. At the end of the next room you will find a key and the map. Go to the northwest corner of the large center room and defeat the bouncing enemy for another key. In the next room, hit the crystal from a distance so that it is blue and push the top block on the left side to reveal a chest containing a key. Open the door and descend to the next level. On the next floor, enter the pipe from the bottom-right corner of the room. Enter the lower pipe in the next room.

Enter the top pipe this time and go south, then west. Place a bomb on the south wall and go through the passageway. Use the Cane of Somaria on the other side of the passageway to get to the Mirror Shield. This shield will reflect laser beams. Go north from the big chest to get to the next level. Find your way to the center of the next area and step on the button to open the door. Go to the southwest corner of the room to get to the next room. (Tip: Shoot your Hook Shot just before the fire hits you and you will not get hurt.) If you have the Mirror Shield, you'll be able to get the key from a chest in the south-most room. Descend to the lowest level so that you can fight the boss. Use the Icerod to stun the blue head so you can hit it with your sword and use the Firerod to stun the blue head and destroy that one with your sword as well.
