don’t put them on. Go under the magnetic
field and equip the boots. In mid flight up
to the ceiling press the - button and put an
item where the iron boots were on the D-pad,
and make sure the Iron boots are not
anywhere on the D-Pad. Un pause the game and
finish flying onto the ceiling. You should

faster.
To get down walk off the magnetic part of
the ceiling or equip and unequipped the Iron
Boots.

town. For the Adult Wallet, you'll have to bring her all 24 of the golden bugs.

This trick works anywhere with a magnetic ceiling, like the Death Mountain
mines. First, set the Iron Boots to a D-pad spot. Then, put them on, and while
flying toward the ceiling, press the minus button and assign another item to the
slot the boots are in. When you come back to the action, you'll be on the
ceiling anyway and running faster to boot. To get down, just put the boots on
again.

Resume game easily
When in a dungeon and you save and turn off the game, when the game is
resumed you normally have to go through the entire dungeon again to get back
to the room where you left off. To avoid this, before you save use your
Ooccoo and warp out. Then, save and turn off the game. When you turn it back
on, use your Ooccoo again. You will be in the room where you left off.
Make day and night appear faster
Stand in an area without moving. Notice that time will be very slow between
day and night. If you move and do things, it will move a bit faster. If you
want day or night to appear a lot faster, do a combination of moving and
warping. You will notice the effect happening faster.
Scared soldiers
Go to Castle Town as Wolf Link and cause an uproar in the square. Soldiers
will come out to fend you off, but they will cower if you get close. Let
them surround you and wait for them to get close. Then, use your dark field
to do a special spin attack. This will scare the soldiers away and make them
drop arrows, rupees, or hearts.
Invisible sprinkler system
When you finish restoring Darbus back to normal, go over to the bomb shop
and enter the building. Find and stand next to Barnes. Take out your lantern
and he will quickly tell you to put it out. Then, stand somewhere else out
of sight of him. He will stomp the ground and spray water all over you. It
does not matter where you are in the building. You will always get water
sprayed on you if you pull out your lantern.
Throwing Ordon goats without making them mad
In the Ordon village, go to the area that has a lot of Ordon goats. Get in
front of one then move forward slightly and press A. You will toss the goat,
but it gets back up it will turn red and try to ram into you.
Playing fetch
In Castle Town after entering the gate to the east, go south as if traveling
to Agitha's house. There is a brown and white dog laying by a tree near a
bone. Pick up the bone and throw it. The dog will run to get it then bring
it back for you to throw again.
Make Midna mad
When you are restoring items such as the bridge in Kakariko Gorge, the
fountain in Zora's Domain and the bridge north of East Hyrule, go to each of
these items. Then, warp somewhere besides where the location should be. She
will get frustrated with you and will yell at you.
Sparkling gold Chu Jelly
The rare Chu jelly (golden and sparkling) can be found in various places
(for example, in the Snowpeak area). This is very valuable Chu jelly because
it restores all of your hearts and also temporarily increases your attack
strength.
Blue Chu Jelly
In the first actual room of Lakebed Temple, there will be blue Chu Jelly.
You can collect this as many times as desired, as long as you leave the
temple each time before you get it again.
Easy Lantern Oil
Get an empty bottle and go to the shop close to the Forest Temple run by the
bird. Go inside and take some. Walk out he will ask to be paid. Do not pay.
The next time you come back and go inside, he will call you a thief. Quickly
take more items before he can peck you. Note: The peck only does one quarter
of a heart of damage.
Skeleton Fish
In the Zora Temple, once you have dived into the pool with the fish inside,
take out the fishing pole (bait works faster). Cast into the water and you
will soon catch a fish that will not be recorded because it is forbidden.
Mirror
After obtaining the lantern, go back to Link's house. Climb down into the
basement. Take out your lantern and look around the area of the chest with
the purple rupee to find a mirror. Switch to first person mode to see Link's
reflection.
Hylian Shield
When you complete the Goron Temple and free Hyrule from the Twilight, go to
Hyrule Town. Go to the southwest side of the town square. Enter the building
there. Immediately when you enter, you should see a Goron standing there.
Talk to him. He will thank you for saving their mines. He will then ask if
you would like to buy the Hylian Shield for about 120 rupees.
Restore health
If you want more health when low, catch some fish. You can do this as many
times as needed.
Bigger quivers
Enter the large tent in Southeast Hyrule Castle Town and play the "STAR"
mini-game. If you have the Clawshot, win level 1 of the mini-game to unblock
the Big Quiver, with a 60 arrow capacity. If you have the Double Clawshot,
win level 2 of the mini-game to unlock the Giant Quiver, with a 100 arrow
capacity.
Easy wins
When you have the Ball And Chain, throw it behind your enemies. If it hits
them on the way back it is very powerful and should kill them in one hit
Immortality
Collect all sixty Poe Souls and bring them to Jovani. He is in a house in
the southeast corner of Castle Town. Turn into a wolf and dig your way
inside. Use your senses to find out where to dig. After you give him 60
souls he will give you unlimited rupees. Then, go to Kakariko village's Malo
Mart. Donate enough money to lower the prices in Town Castle's Malo Mart.
You can now buy a Magic Armor there for 598 rupees. The Magic Armor makes
you immortal, but normally reduces your rupees until you have no more.
Because you have unlimited rupees, you will stay immortal.
Defeating Darkhammers
When you are facing a Darkhammer (for example the three in the last room of
the Cave of Ordeals), throw bombs. This gets their armor off quickly. When
all of it is off, it will dodge if you throw bombs. To kill it with the
armor off, get close enough until it tries to hit you. Just before it hits
you, roll out of the way to get in back of it. Then, just start slashing
with your sword.

Glitches
Infinite Bomb
First, as a wolf, play PLumm's minigame with the fruit and crash. Then, turn back into a human and turn to the water behind you.
While swimming in it, equip the hookshot, and while it is held out, strafe tothe side and through the wall. If it works, you'll be
swimming through the wall. Keep swimming until you flall and die. Now, as you wake up, Plumm will come back and ask to to play again.
Say yes. Then crash at the beginning again. You should wake back up in the beyond-the-wall area from before, but you can stand. Turn
into a wolf and jump into the waterfall. Then, you'll wake up in front of Iza's assistant. Say yes, and you'll go to her cabin.
The boat will take off without you, and you'll be a wolf. So now, warp anywhere you want, and you'll have infinite bombs. Note:
This ends when you turn off the game, sadly.
Magnetic Ceiling Glitch
This can be done wherever there is a magnetic ceiling, such as the first one encountered in Death Mountain Mines.
First equip the boots to the D-pad but don�t put them on. Go under the magnetic field and equip the boots. In mid flight up to the ceiling press the - button and put an
item where the iron boots were on the D-pad, and make sure the Iron boots are not anywhere on the D-Pad. Unpause the game and finish flying onto the ceiling.
You should be on the ceiling with the Iron boots off and you will stay there and be able to walk faster.
To get down walk off the magnetic part of the ceiling or equip and unepuip the Iron Boots.
Strange-looking Malo
Whenever you get the Slingshot or Bow and arrow, look for Malo. He is the child that resembles a little infant. Pull out either of these objects and stand in front of him.
Shoot him with it. He will pull his head back and say nothing. Alternately, when you defeat the Darbus from Death Mountain go back into Kakariko Village and find Malo.
He is up on one of the higher ledges scouting the area for monsters. He will ask if you can show him how to use a bow. Say yes and you will be brought down next to Malo
for instructions. Turn your camera but do not move yourself and look at Malo. His eyes will make him look like a child from a horror movie.
