Biggoron's Sword

You need to be Adult Link, have freed King Zora, and have unlocked Epona to do this quest. It also helps to have the Sun's Song, though it is not essential.

First, go and speak to the Cucco Lady in Kakariko Village. Take the Pocket Egg from her, before playing the Sun's Song to move the game forward to the next day. The egg will then hatch into a Pocket Cucco.

With the Pocket Cucco, go and speak to Talon (he is sleeping in Kakariko Village - use the Pocket Cucco to wake him). Return the Cucco to the Cucco Lady, who will then give you Cojiro, another Cucco, to pass on to her brother.

You now need to head into the Lost Woods. Turn left once inside. Give the Cucco to the blue figure on the stump. In return, he gives you an Odd Mushroom, asking you to delive..


Super Cucco Game Cheat

Visit Talon in Kakariko Village to begin this challenge. It is potentially difficult, as the task is for you to locate Talon's three Super Cucco's amongst all the regular ones (and you can't tell them apart, making winning the challenge all about luck). You get an extra Empty Bottle for completing it, however, so it is a must-do event.

To cheat at it, simply throw all the chickens in the room behind Talon's desk before starting the challenge. He will then put his Super Cuccos into the room, and they will be the only ones running around, making them easy to spot!


Unlock Elemental Arrows

When you complete the indicated task the corresponding arrow will become available.

Unlock Fire Arrow:

Shoot the sun after the Water Temple.

Unlock Ice Arrow:

Complete the Gerudo Training Ground.

Unlock Light Arrow:

Beat ALL the temples, then talk to Shiek.


Big Poe Quest

This quest is activated by the man in the Ghost Shop in Hyrule Castle (you must be Adult Link). He gives you a loyalty card which, once filled with 1,000 points, will earn you a reward. To get 100 points you can give the shopkeeper are Big Poe. There are 10 of these to collect, filling up the card. The locations are below:

Note - the Big Poes are only found in Hyrule Field, and you must be riding Epona to encounter them.

1. At the boulder where the road hits a fork between Lon Lon Ranch and the Lost Woods.

2. On the way out of the Lost Woods, go past the boulder mentioned above in a straight line. You can find the Big Poe located between a single tree and a collection of trees.

3. Find number three to the right of the trees mentioned above as ..


Master Quest

Once the game has been completed, you will unlock the Master Quest version of the story, which increases the difficulty, changing dungeons and puzzles to make them harder.


Unlockable Elemental Arrows

The Elemental Arrows in Ocarina of Time are useful (and the Light Arrows are essential) in completing the game. Below is where, and how, you unlock them:

Fire Arrows: To get the Fire Arrows, you need to stand on the platform above the Water Temple entrance, or just in front of it. Shoot a plain arrow at the sun as it just begins to rise. You can then go to the island in the lake where the arrow lands to collect the upgrade. Note: You can either complete the Water Temple to fill up Lake Hylia, or you can use the Song of Storms to 'fill' it. You need to shoot your arrow at the sun before the rain stops, however. You can then collect the arrow using Scarecrow's Song and the Longshot.

Ice Arrows: Complete Gerudo's Training Ground to unlock Ice Arrows.


Gold Skulltula Rewards

Be on the look out for the scuttling Gold Skulltulas as you are travelling around Hyrule. When destroyed, collect the tokens. You can then visit Skulltula House in Kakariko Village to get your reward and help everyone return to normal.

10 Skulltulas: Adult Wallet (allows you to carry 200 rupees)

20 Skulltulas: Stone of Agony (lets you see secret items)

30 Skulltulas: Giant's Wallet (allows you to carry 500 rupees)

40 Skulltulas: Gives you Bombchus

50 Skulltulas: Upgrades your health by an extra heart piece

100 Skulltulas: Gives you 200 rupees (or a Huge Rupee)


Infinite Money

To get money in Ocarina of Time, whenever you want, wait until the beggar living at Hyrule Castle Market moves to Kakariko Village (once you are an adult). Go behind the Potion Shop and into the grotto in the village, where you will find a fish.

You can fill an empty bottle with a fish each time you enter the grotto. Each fish sells for 100 rupees to the beggar, so if you have enough bottles, and the patience to keep going in and out, you can generate an unlimited amount of money.


Ocarina Song List

Zelda's Lullaby:

Once you first meet Zelda in the castle, you will learn this simple song from Impa:

X A Y X A Y

The song is used for completing puzzles and progressing in the game. When you see the triforce symbol, use the song to access new areas and move on. You can also use it at Gossip Stones.

Epona's Song:

This is many people's favourite song, unlocked by speaking to Malon in Lon Lon Ranch. Use the Ocarina when singing with her and you will unlock the Epona quest. This gives you the song.

A X Y A X Y

Play the song to get Epona to come running whenever you need her. Obviously she must have been saved from the ranch first. Finally, if you are standing by a cow, you can play the tune and receive fre..


Unlimited Milk

Play Epona's Song (A X Y A X Y) next to a cow to be given free milk. You can do this as much as you like, only limited by the number of empty bottles you have!


Unlockables

Unlock Boss Challenge

When you grow up but before talking for the second time to Sheik on the Time Temple to learn the Prelude of light she will tell to rest in your home and revive past battles. This means you have unlocked Boss challenge to fight in your house each boss in the game (after you had beat them in the story).

Unlock ALL Bosses Challenge:

To unlock the last challenge which is ALL bosses in sequence you must first defeat them ALL in Boss Challenge mode.


Extra Bottle Locations

There are four bottles that you can collect in Ocarina of Time. These are immensely useful throughout the game.

The first one is nice and easy. As Young Link, speak to the Cucco Lady in Kakariko Village. She asks you to collect all of her chickens and return them to her pen. Upon completion of this challenge, you will receive your first Empty Bottle!

The second one is found in Lake Hylia. Locate the passage from Zora's Domain and you should find it nearby. It has Ruto's Letter inside it initially.

Number three is your reward for completing the Super Cucco Game at Lon Lon Ranch.

Finally, you get the fourth having found 10 Big Poes and given them back to the man in the Ghost Shop at Hyrule Castle.


Funny way to beat Ganondorf

Remember while fighting him you had to use your sword to hit his lighting ball back at him?

Well try using your bottle! If you have an empty bottle you can swing it at his magic ball and it will hit it back at him! This is a great way to beat the "King of Evil" With a bottle!


Unlimited Bottles

With a bottle mapped to one of the buttons, use it to try and nab a fairy, bug or fish. Just before the target is caught, map another item (one you don't care about) to the bottle's button. This item will magically turn into a bottle - you can repeat this as much as you like. Obviously you don't want to do this with gameplay-crucial items!


Easy Zombie Killing

The Zombies in Ocarina of Time can be pretty annoying, but luckily there is an easy way to kill them. Once they emerge from the ground, play the Sun's Song to force them to stop, allowing you to take them out with ease.


No sun just sword

You know the zombies.I am going to tell you how to get by them[not attacking you]with out the sun's song. First you have to have the magic sword power from the great fairy in Death Mountain. Before you go near the zombie hold B and make sure your sword is red and then you can go as close as you want to it and walk right by.


Masks

1.To get the first mask you have to meet zelda then head towards death mountain.

2.At the gate show the guard zelda's letter then he will say something about how his son wants a mask from the new mask shop.

3.Head to Hyrule town and find the mask shop.

4.Get the mask and go back to the guard.

5.Head back to the mask shop and get the next mask.

6.This mask is the skull looking mask.

7.Head to the lost woods and go left and you will see a guy there.

8.Talk to him and he will take the mask.

9.Get the next mask and give it to the kid in the graveyard in Kakariko village.

10.The final mask goes to the guy who runs around hyrule.

11.Now you can get the mask of truth! Or possibly three..


Easy red rupees

At the Hyrule Castle drawbridge move just a bit onto the drawbridge and sing the sun song to make it night, the drawbride goes up and youll go up along with it. At the top you will get a red Rupee walk carefully along the top and youll get 3 rupees, sing the sun song again, go in the castle, leave, stand on the edge of the drawbridge, sing the sun song, go up, get rupees, repeat till you have max rupees.


Easy boss fights

1.If you have any empty bottles just catch fairys.

2.Get the Biggoron Sword because it does twice as much damage as the Master Sword.

3.Fight the boss using Biggoron Sword and any boss will be easily defeated.


Unlimited Rupees (takes 5 minutes)

AS AN ADULT enter the lost woods, turn left and you should see a skull kid on a big tree stump. Approach it but do not attack. Wait for it to stop and shoot pellets.

Then hit it with your sword. No items or jump attacks work, only sword slashes. After a couple hits, it will die and SPAWN A HUGE RUPEE. Every time you kill it you get a huge rupee.

Ilegal fishing lure made leagal.

At the fishing pond in Lake Hylia pay the guy then go to the tree trunk. Then swim around it and get on it untill you get a new fishing lure.(Don't get mad if you don't get right away. It takes a while.) Then if you catch a record fish he will yell and say something like this:ILLEGAL FISHING LURE! And won't give you a prize. So before you fish go talk to him and select:I want to talk about something. Then he'll say,"oh you got a new lure weeell I guess it's okay,normaly I wouldn't allow it. Then there you go.


Ganon - Easy Defeat Method

-- Ganon's Easy Defeat Method --

Requirement: Biggoron Sword.

1: After the battle has started, equip the Biggoron Sword.

2 (Optional): Use the Biggoron Sword to hit him a few times. He should wiggle his head a bit and not attack.

3: Roll between his legs and quickly hit his tail with the sword.

4: Repetitively hit his tail until he falls down. You will reclaim the Master sword at this stage.

After reclaiming the Master Sword:

A) You can use the Master Sword to attack his tail instead, while having the shield ready to defend before rolling between his legs.

B) Switch back to Biggoron Sword and hit him another 2 or 3 times. Then switch back to the Master Sword to hit him a final time.

Note: The last hit..


How to float useless only works as kid

Okay so stand anywhere with the kakori shield equiped use your shield not targeting pause while still holding the shield button equip you metal shield still holding the shield button pause again equip the kakori shield again unpause look at links feet hes floating a little glitch undos when let go of shield button


When Cuckoos Attack!

If you want to test your survival skills (more likely escaping skills) hit a Cuckoo 2 or 3 times with your sword. The one you're hitting will call for it's friends to come and attack you.

NOTE: You might want alot of life energy because they take a WHOLE heart at a time! Pretty powerful for a chicken.


No sword glitch

Warning:This may or may not work for all games!

Step 1.Enter the final battle with Ganon.

Step 2. After he knocks your sword out of your hands save and quit.

Step 3. Start again and you will have no sword equiped, then go to the bridge that epona can jump over before it's fininshed.

Step 4.Ride epona there and get out your hookshot. Stop in front of the bridge and shoot the little square hanging down with your hookshot.

Step 5.You will then start to float around and after awhile you will go back to the bridge and do something like a super jump.

Enjoy!


Boss Gauntlet

The Gauntlet pits you against all 8 bosses in a row with no help. You start with at least the Boomerang, the Lens of Truth, Slinghshot, Deku Nuts and Sticks(empty), Bombs(empty), the Bow, Hookshot, Megaton Hammer, all Tunics, Deku and Mirror Shield, and Kokiri and Master Sword. Also, you always have 5 hearts(unless you get a container) and start with a full magic meter. My reccomendations are marked by and asterik for the chests. Finally, I put a mark behind the most valuable thing to me in the chests.

Gohma-L-Target her and use the Slingshot everytime her eye glows red. Use jump moves.

*Small-5, 10, or 20! Bombs Big-Deku Seeds!

King Dodongo-If you got bombs, throw them while he charges his fireball, and run to the edge of the pit to dodge the rollout.

*S..


Treasure chest game hint

You can play the game in the market of Hyrule castle where you have to guess which treasure chest holds the key. Helpful hint: use the lens of truth to spot the key and win to get a piece of heart!


Make money real quick

1. Stand on the very edge of the drawbridge of Hyrule Castle and play the suns song until evening comes and the bridge closes.

2. As the bridge is closing, walk on top of the bridge.

3. You may get a red rupee. Walk along the edge of the drawbridge until you get all 3 red rupees.

4. Face in the direction of Hyrule Castle and jump off the bridge. Keep holding the circular pad forward or you will suffer fall damage.

5. Play the suns song again and repeat.

Hope this helps ;-)


Any Items, Anywhere

This glitch is quite easy once you get the hang of it, but before I continue, please note that I have only done this on the 3DS, so I don't know that you can do this on the N64.

To do it, equip the item that you can't use in the area on the "A" button, and eqip any item on the "B" button. Now switch the two around and quickly press the "B" button, witch the item of interest should be equipped on.

Repeat the process for as long as you need.

Sooner or later, you will get it.

Here's an example:

I will equip Farore's Wind on the "B" button, and Deku Sticks on the "A" button. I unpause and repause again. Then, I switch the Deku Sticks with Farore's Wind so that the Deku Sticks are on the "B" button and Farore's Wind is on the "A" button.

Now as soon as I unpause..


Deku Tree as Adult Link

This is a very difficult glitch to do, but it is very much possible.

To do it, you first have to go to the Kokiri Forest. Go to entrance to the Deku Tree and veer to the left. If you haven't already, plant a Magic Bean in the soft soil. If the Magic Plant is already there, jump onto it with the Flying Boots Equipped. When you get close to the second house to the right (if your facing the entrance to the Deku Tree), roll twice and then slash with your sword. After a whole lot of attempts, you should be on the roof of the second house.

With your Flying Boots equipped, roll twice again to the green hill. Now, equip your Hookshot/Longshot and point it around. If you can see the target, that ground is solid and safe to walk on. If there is no target, find another solid spot to walk ..


First bottle

Go to Lon Lon Ranch, then enter the first door to your left. Talk to the guy in their and he will ask you to pay 10 rupees to play a game. In the game you must find the 3 chicken things that are next to him. After you beat it he will reward you with a bottle with Lon Lon Ranch milk in it.


2nd fight with Ganondorf

1.When he knocks your sword out of your hand either use your hammer or if you have it your Biggoron Sword.

2.After you get your sword back you have to shoot him with your lighting arrows to get behind him,but if you either run out of magic or arrows just stay close to him

3.He will keep trying to hit you but miss. Then eventually you will go between his legs and now you can hit his tail.


Get a big Deku Seed Bullet Bag

Before reading, note this requires a slingshot-

Go to the Lost Woods, and turn right. You will see a tree with a hanging circular log. Aim your slingshot at the very center of the log and shoot it 3 times, you will see 100! Pop up 3 times, followed by a cutscene of a Octorok looking things congratulating you, followed by obtaining a large Deku Seed Bullet bag.


Free Money

Things needed: Magic,20 rupees, Lens of Truth, Farore's Wind

Step 1:Play the treasure chest game and make it to the grand prize. Step 2:Use the Restricted Items glitch to cast Farore's Wind. Step 3:Exit to the Hyrule Castle Town. Step 4:Use the Restricted Items glitch to cast Farore's Wind and return to the warp point. Step 5:Go to the store owner and pay 10 rupees to play. You will notice that the doors will already be opened so you don't need to chose the treasure chests that have the keys in them. Step 6:If you chose the treasure chests with rupees in them you can get lots of money. Repeat as much as you want.


Any Items, Anywhere

To do this useful glitch, you must have the item you want to use (it has to be something that can't be used in that area) on the "A" or "B" buttons. Then, switch them around and quickly mash the button in which you placed your item of interest. It should work after a few tries.

For example, I equipped Farore's Wind on the "B" button, and a bottle on the "A" button. I switched them around and quickly mashed the "A" button (the on Farore's Wind is on) and marked the spot to teleport to later.... And I was in Kakariko Village!

NOTE: I do not know if this glitch works on the N64 because I have only done it on the 3DS.


Make 60 rupees in less than 15 seconds

Stuff needed: Sun's song

1. Make sure it is daytime. If not, play the sun's song until daylight emerges.

2. Stand on the very edge of the drawbridge of Hyrule Castle Town (not on the sides but at the front).

3. Play the sun's song until sunset comes around. When the drawbridge is about 45 degrees in the air, walk to the top of the drawbridge.

4. Walk carefully on the drawbridge once it is fully raised and collect all three red rupees (60 rupees in total).

5. Once you have collected all the rupees, jump onto the land and repeat.


Sneaking past Gerudo Guards

If you are having trouble with this just shoot them with your arrows. If you don't have arrows hit them with your hookshot.

If you get the hover boots before you do this it really helps.


Easy way to catch "Running Man".

He's always running along Lon Lon Ranch clockwise making quite a bit of noise, he follows the road too so go COUNTER clockwise and you'll find him easier.

PURPOSE: You can give him the Bunny Hood hat from the Happy Mask Shop.

NOTE: You need to have all spiritual stones for him to jog around


Sign glitch

First, slash a sign with your sword, then play Zelda's lullaby next to it. The sign will be repaired. Then the solved puzzle jingle will play.


Fire Temple Secret Room

This tells you how to get into the room in the temple that is grayed out.

EQUIPMENT-Goron Tunic, Longshot

When you get to the top of the room with the columns, go back to the door where you ran from the fire on top. Turn right(left on master quest) and play the scarecrow song. Longshot up to the scarecrow, and then to a hookshot mark. Ride the elevator up and climb the nets(kill the gold spider for a token) and enter the room. It will look like where you got the hammer. Get the token on the wall in the pit, and activate the button. Longshot up and take the 200 rupees.

Also jump down for a quick way to the entrance, but have lotsa helth.
