Unlock Sword Beam in Four Swords:
———————————
Play Link to the Past and get the Master Sword in the Lost Woods
(you will need all three amulets for this). Once you have the Master
Sword, save your game. When you quit and start the game again, a
message will confirm that you can now use the Sword Beam (when your
heart meter is full) in Four Swords as well.
Four Swords Progress:
———————
To earn Silver Keys, complete each level with a team score of 1000
or more Rupees, then beat Vaati for ending #1. To earn Gold Keys,
complete each level with a team score of 3000 or more Rupees, then
beat Vaati for ending #2. To earn Hero Keys, complete each level
with a team score of 5000 or more Rupees, then beat Vaati for ending #3.
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.
Blind Spot In Tile Trap Rooms:
——————————
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.
Drastic Dark World Shortcut:
—————————-
Upon entering Dark World and completing the first dungeon, Link can enter
the Thieves’ Den dungeon in the Village of Outcasts and upon completing it,
he can use the Titan’s Mitt to get the Dwarves to upgrade the Master Sword
from L2 to L3.
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.
Extra Fairy:
————
When you see a ex-fairy (a skull with four red blocks on it) sprinkle
magic powder on it and it will turn into a fairy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Riddle Mini-Quest:
——————
Earn ten medals in the Four Swords mode to start the riddle quest with the
Lumberjack in Link to the Past. Finish the Riddle Quest to obtain the
„Hurricane Blade” skill.
Running Man:
————
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.
Super bomb:
———–
Complete the Ice Palace followed by the Misery Mire Maze. Go to your house
in the Dark World and buy the orange and white bomb.
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?
