Hints and Tips for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
(GameCube)

When you are fighting Ganondorf with his sword equip your fishing rod and Lock-On to him and cast.Ganondorf will look at the hook like the idiot he is and you can hit him.(This may count as cheating to your friends)

I'm going to tell you how to beat all the bosses up to the Sacred Grove, Temple of Time

1.Faron Woods boss:take your boomerang and target the bomb the monkey is carrying and the main plant. Do this several times to win.

2.Goron mines boss:take your Heroes Bow and shoot the crystal on his head. While he is stumbling around, grab the chain and put on the iron boots. Hit the crystal on his head when he falls.

3.Lakebed temple boss:clawshot the eye and hit it with your sword. It will then swim around. Clawshot the eye again and stab repeatedly.

4.Gerudo Desert boss:use the spinner to hit it's support bone. When it is just a head, jump from one side to the other when it hurls something at you. Get close enough to jump and hit the head. When it is on the ground, hit the sword on it's hhead as many times as you can.

5.Snowpeak boss:wait until the main ice thing comes down and hit with the ball and chain. Do this repeatedly and she will turn back to normal.

6.Temple of Time boss:wait until it stops moving and use your bow to shoot it's main eye. When it falls, take control of the nearest statue and use it to smash the spider. Do this three times and it will turn small. I suggest shooting the eye from far away, since it's surrounded by little spiders, but you can go hack at it if you want. Its your hearts. Thats as far as I am now so see ya!

All you need to do is find a chicken (Cucco) and attack it as much as you can, and eventually you'll be able to control it for a short period of time.
P.S I don't know if this works on the Wii version, I only hae GameCube.

T be a chicken hit it with your sword like 5-8 times and you can be it for a limited time. <(^_^)>

First, if you already went to the dessert once, you have to pay to go back to the dessert and if you see the big tower on the left go straight towards it.
After that you'll see a monster flying back & forth, then get your clawshot out and shoot the monster on the bottom and hang on until you get on the cliff and then go straight to the tower and talk to midna and then warp to the eldin bridge and now you've fixed the bridge, trust me I beat the whole game and I'm only 11!

This may sound odd but in ordon and by ordon spring if you roll into the trees, money may come down!

If you equip arrows and bombs and you go to the north of kakario village and shoot a bolbin with it, the bolbin will fall over on inpact like it's dead but it will get back up. You can make them run off the side by making them face toward to and slice with your sword. They will take off and die. Tee hee.

Got some more info! In Electronic Gaming Magazine, it said that Ganon is still the villain!

Tell you more when I get some more info!

This is more of an easter egg but once you press A right after defeat an large enemie (keese and other small enemies don't count) and link will spin his sword and put in his sword case.

It doesn't give you alot of money, but it works if you want to buy the invincibal amour. Go to the Hyrule town and exit it to your left, you should come to this area with some helmasaurs,moblins and the plant things. Anyway use a roll attack into trees there and one tree should drop rupees, consiting of
Green,blue,and yellow.Then go back to the town and repeat. Hope it saves time and it's quick. Gook Luck fininshing the game!

First, you need to go to the Malo Mart in Kakariko Village and contribute a total of 1000 Rupees to the elder Goron on the left - this will repair the West Bridge in Castle Town. Then you'll have to donate another 2000 Rupees to finance a shop in Castle Town - you can get the Magic Armor there for 598 Rupees!

As for running with the Barrel of Hot Spring Water - it has a bit to do with luck, it took me a few tries - just keep running and hope the birds and ground guys don't come after you. Anyway, go East, make your way to the West side of Castle Town and throw the Barrel at the Goron laying there to get a Heart Piece and open a Shop on the Southern Road!

On the South Road of Castle Town, go into the far east house and talk to Agitha. She'll ask you to collect Golden Bugs for her - if you have one, give it to her for the Big Wallet which holds 600 Rupees. For any more Golden Bugs, you'll get 50 Rupees each or if you complete a pair (Male and Female), you'll get 100 Rupees. If you find and give her all 24 Golden Bugs, you'll get the Giant Wallet which holds the maximum of 1000 Rupees!

T be a chicken hit it with your sword like 5-8 times and you can be it for a limited time. <(^_^)>

When you shoot the hive down, if you scoop up and eat the larva it will heal you 2 1/2 hearts.

Hey I'm not sure if anyone realized this But when you talk to Midna Sometimes she says inteligable stuff like "What is it puppy?"

(This is most useful in the Sky Temple) Okay so first, take out your boomerang and throw it. Next, take out your sword.Then,a bit before the boomerang is about to come back to you, do your jump attack and there you go! The reason why this is so useful in the sky temple, is because you don't have to take the oocoos AND it can be a MAJOR short cut in a lot of rooms.(This can work anywhere but on over a pit/gap.)

You use the Clawshot and sword but beware Morpheel's tentacles,which he uses to grab and put Link in his mouth.

A great spin and a jump strike won't make Ganondorf fall backward. So you can cause extra damage! But after a while of hitting him a lot he will fall backward.

Hi, I am on the last fary and I need to know how to kill them on the bird so I can fill my Vestle of Light!!! Please help, and ASAP!!! Thanks for all your help and your time helping me. :D

I have been asked a few questions from members on this site. I will list the questions with my answers here.

1. At the part where you have to thaw the Zoro people under the throne room... What do I do? I need SOME kind of fire or something, I'm sure - but I'm a wolf. (Can't use a lantern)

A: All you need to do is warp to the mountain. There you will find a giant rock. Warp again and this time to Zora's Domain. That is thaw the entire lake.

2: But now, how do I get to the underwater Zora temple? I'm at Kakario Village as a human with the Zora suit and water bombs. I can't get back there, though. The bridge is broken, and there's 3 twilight creatures on the other side. The OTHER bridge east of Hyrule castle is broken, with a sleeping Goron on the other side.

A:Go to the graveyard. Enter the Zora King's area. Jump in and put on the iron boots. You will see a bunch of rocks that can be blown up. Do that. One of them will show a hole in the wall. Go through. You should be in some part of Hyrule Lake(I can't remeber what part it puts you in). Find your way to the bottom part of the lake. If you are at the Zora's Domain take off the boots and swim out. Follow the current in the next part. You should have to fight three of the shadow beasts in the next part over by the house on the water. Kill one of them then the other two with a spin attack. The lady will let you take a free ride down the rapids. You will be at the bottom now. The tunnel I talked about earlier may lead you straight to the bottom of the lake if so just swim to the bottom of it or follow the other instructions I have listed.

3:After warping lava rock to free Zora's it said to go back over waterfall to let current take you right to spirit in Hylia Lake. This is not happening and cannot find alternate route. HELP!!!!

A:Follow the lake to the middle section you will then have to find the grass that calls the giant bird. Then you will be at the bottom.

I am at the part with the " secret village". The chicken there wants me to find 20 kittys. I can only find 19 cats though. I found the one that was stuck in the barrle but I can't find the 20th cat.

If anyone knows where there is a cat that you thought was in a unusual place, that I might have missed, please tell me.

If you can not tell in this hint I will be telling you how to beat all four stages of Ganandorf.


Stage One: Zelda

This is by most the easiest fight in the game. For those who have beaten the original game, Ocerina of Time, this portion of the fight will be a cake walk. Zelda's main attack is an energy ball that she throws at you. This is your only chance to attack her. It is time to play tennis with Zelda. Slash the energy ball right back at her. If she hits it back repeat slashing the energy ball until it hits her.

Other attacks:

Dive bomb: I call this attack "dive bomb" mainly because she tries to fly straight through you.

Triforce: Now this isn't as bad as it sounds. You the ground under your feet will light up and you have only a few seconds of time to get away before being shocked.

Form Two: Beast Ganon

This is were the game takes a turn from Ocerina of Time in the Ganandorf battle.

Take out your bow and arrow. Ganon will run around the room and disapear. Ready your bow and look for a portal to open. Follow the portals until you find the different colored one. Ganon will charge out of the portal shoot the gem that is in his head. Run to the side of him and slash the giant hole in his stomach. This time he will appear from above. Once you see the shadow of him run out of the way. He will charge around the room and then start charging at you. Shoot the gem again and start to slash the hole again. He will start disappear right as you shoot at the gem. At this point turn into the wolf. For this portion of the fight you need nerves of steel. You gave to let Ganon to get right in front of you while he is charging. The grab icon will come on to the screen. Push A when you see it. Now move the joystick left and right quickly. Once he falls over turn into a human and slash the hole on his side. Repeat the wolf steps until he is finished.

Form three: Horse Back Battle

For me this was the hardest part of the fight. Zelda will be on the horse with you. She will be shooting light arrows at Ganandorf. You have to stay right with Ganandorf the whole time. If you don't he will send a team of ghost rides at you and they will knock you off your horse. After Zelda shoots him with the light arrow slash him. Repeat the steps until he falls off his horse.

Form Four: The Final Battle of Swords

In this fight you will be fighting sword against sword. Use the roll speacal attack to start the ability to slash him. The roll speacal attack will stun him for a few seconds while he is stunned slash him. Repeat this step until he falls on the ground for a second time. L-target him then use the finisher speacal attack. This will end the fight with Ganandorf.

Speacal not* In the second form "Beast Ganon" steps can be skipped depending on how you attack him. Using jump attacks will cause more damage and make him go into his harder attacks faster.

I hope this helps everyone that reads it.

For all you Zelda veterans out there, do you recall in the Nintendo 64 Zeldas
When you fall use the roll attack before you land and you don't get hurt?
Depending on the fall, anyway it works in this game.

Canon Room Glitch: Wii And NGC
Difficulty: Easy
Helpfull: NO!
How to: This glitch is DANGEROUS! DO NOT DO IF YOU WANT TO FINISH THE FRIGGIN GAME! Go to the cannon room after getting the owl statues. Save next to the dude and quit. Then start your game back up and get midna to teleport the thing. She will refuse because Fryers there. Get him to leve and then get midna to teleport the canon. This part is very weird. Midna will refuse saying that he is still there. WTF?!?!?

Magnetic anceint boots. Wii and POSSIBLY THE NGC
Difficulty: medium
Helpfull: kinda
How to: in the goron mines, there are electric platforms (Some will pull you twords them) so then go to the one I jsut explained with your iron boots to the left D-Pad thingy and with them on. While spinning take them off then put them back on. QUICKY bring up the item menu and remove the boots. You should be magenticly stuck to the platform and be able to move normaly.

Midna Goes Crazy: Wii and NGC
Difficulty: medium
Helpfull: no
How to: go to the ice area (not the dungeon) with the water and get as close as you can to the edge. Midna will start to go crazy like if there were rodents on you. People ARE allowed in Jovanis house?!?!
Difficulty: Hard
Helpfull: Um...no
How to: sorry idk. Go see it on youtube!

After donating 1000 rupees at malo mart(near death mt.) and doing the side quest(hot spring water is the side quest).donate 2000 more rupees at malo mart and a new malo mart opens in castle town(where the guy that sold the magic armor for 100,000 rupees.)the price goes down to 595!(hint:you need the big wallet to hold 600 rupees).

I am the one that entered the low magic armor.plz type me back if it works at my e mail adress or if you like it so I can give you another site to look at here.is me email adress([email protected])it is no caps

1. In the Lake Haliya fishing pond go in the house to the left ,and go to the left hand side. Look in first person view then look at the bench there is game to play. It costs five rupees to play and you win 10 rupees if you beat it. To play the next board just leave and come back.

2. This is very easy. In the fishing hole if you have the clawshot swim up to the big rock that is like an arch ,and look on the lower part of the rock. You'll see a peice of heart. Shoot it with the clawshot then swim to the shore to collect it




Hope this Helps some people with rupees

There are bugs around Lake Hylia to Zora's Domanin.There are some bugs in the part to use the bird,and you just have to dash and lock on them to kill them.

-Last two- You will be missing two more when you defeat them between the lake and the domanin. One will be at the outside of Telma's bar(Hyrule Town). Where is the last one? At Lake Hylia, after you speak to Minda.

-Bug Boss- For the last bug, you go to Lake Hylia. It will start raining. The bug is huge,and to defeat it, you need to dodge the charging attack,and bite it constintly when it gets close,and it has no electicity sparks(purple sparks), and then it will go into the water and start swimming around,trying to hit you. Dodge it,and continue this,until it goes into the water,and floats to the top,on it's back. Swim over to it, get on it. Don't try to attack it's legs by themself. Use the powered up black circle to lock on to all of them at the same time.

-Super_Link_Chao570

This really isn't a hint ,but it's cool.Only attempt this unless you have alredy beat the game at least once.

Ok follow these rules to make the game really hard.
1. No heart containers or pieces of heart.
2. No extra wallet bigger than your first one.
3. No more than one bottle.
4. Can only carry lantern oil in the lantern.
5. No chu chu jelly things. That includes rare chu chu jelly. No fariy tears.
6. No bigger quivers than the first one.
7. No extra bomb bags.
8. No bomb arrows.
9. Once you can buy water bombs buy them and don't use normal bombs anymore.
10. No fairys except for last boss battle.
11. No blue potions.
13. No using Ococo.
14. No mini games for ruppes.
15. (Not relly a rule but good advice)If you get really mad at the game just save ,and stop playing for a bit.


P.S. Most importantly don't forget that it's not immpossible to beat it under these rules. Becuase I've done it ,but it took almost 200 hours.

To control a chicken, find one and pull out your sword and keep hitting the chicken. Eventually the screen will darken and you will control the chicken

You use the Clawshot and sword but beware Morpheel's tentacles,which he uses to grab and put Link in his mouth.

(This is most useful in the Sky Temple) Okay so first, take out your boomerang and throw it. Next, take out your sword.Then,a bit before the boomerang is about to come back to you, do your jump attack and there you go! The reason why this is so useful in the sky temple, is because you don't have to take the oocoos AND it can be a MAJOR short cut in a lot of rooms.(This can work anywhere but on over a pit/gap.)

Ok, this Required the hidden skill "Mortal Draw" for the fast kill

Put up your weapon and sheild and wait till an enemy is about to attack you, hit A fast, then it should be killed then as soon as you attack rappidly hit A until you put up your sword, Link (or whatever you named him) should put up his sword like when you kill a boos or when you learn a Hidden skill, Happy killing and Sheathing!

Go to castle town and next to Agatha is a fortune teller. Get a love fortune telling and on the map will appear a spot where there is a heart container.

Note: sometimes there will be a mark where you already got one, so watch out

I'm going to tell you how to beat all the bosses up to the Sacred Grove, Temple of Time

1.Faron Woods boss:take your boomerang and target the bomb the monkey is carrying and the main plant. Do this several times to win.

2.Goron mines boss:take your Heroes Bow and shoot the crystal on his head. While he is stumbling around, grab the chain and put on the iron boots. Hit the crystal on his head when he falls.

3.Lakebed temple boss:clawshot the eye and hit it with your sword. It will then swim around. Clawshot the eye again and stab repeatedly.

4.Gerudo Desert boss:use the spinner to hit it's support bone. When it is just a head, jump from one side to the other when it hurls something at you. Get close enough to jump and hit the head. When it is on the ground, hit the sword on it's hhead as many times as you can.

5.Snowpeak boss:wait until the main ice thing comes down and hit with the ball and chain. Do this repeatedly and she will turn back to normal.

6.Temple of Time boss:wait until it stops moving and use your bow to shoot it's main eye. When it falls, take control of the nearest statue and use it to smash the spider. Do this three times and it will turn small. I suggest shooting the eye from far away, since it's surrounded by little spiders, but you can go hack at it if you want. Its your hearts. Thats as far as I am now so see ya!

When you are fighting Ganondorf with his sword equip your fishing rod and Lock-On to him and cast.Ganondorf will look at the hook like the idiot he is and you can hit him.(This may count as cheating to your friends)

Hey I'm not sure if anyone realized this But when you talk to Midna Sometimes she says inteligable stuff like "What is it puppy?"

Before you face Ganon himself, he possesses Zelda and forces you to battle her. Zelda hovers out of your sword's range and uses three types of attacks. Her first offensive is a diving sword attack that you can block or dodge. Her second attack is a large triangular energy field that appears below Link; run away to avoid this attack. Her third tactic is to fire an energy ball at Link, which you can block. Deflecting the energy attack is the only way to defeat the possessed Zelda.

This is my first hint hope it helps. First go to upper zora river over by the boat game place and the wall cloase to the door and smash the farthest box

This may sound odd but in ordon and by ordon spring if you roll into the trees, money may come down!

When you shoot the hive down, if you scoop up and eat the larva it will heal you 2 1/2 hearts.

Did you know that you can walk right in front of the doctor in Castle Town and he won't be scared? What an idiot! I wish you could rip his head off.

When in east hyrule field attak bulbos close to the cliff and they'll run off the side but they somtimes run in a different direction. Also climb on them and pess A to dash and they'll run off the side of the cliff!

First, if you already went to the dessert once, you have to pay to go back to the dessert and if you see the big tower on the left go straight towards it.
After that you'll see a monster flying back & forth, then get your clawshot out and shoot the monster on the bottom and hang on until you get on the cliff and then go straight to the tower and talk to midna and then warp to the eldin bridge and now you've fixed the bridge, trust me I beat the whole game and I'm only 11!

A great spin and a jump strike won't make Ganondorf fall backward. So you can cause extra damage! But after a while of hitting him a lot he will fall backward.

If you equip arrows and bombs and you go to the north of kakario village and shoot a bolbin with it, the bolbin will fall over on inpact like it's dead but it will get back up. You can make them run off the side by making them face toward to and slice with your sword. They will take off and die. Tee hee.

(special purple gem)ok what you do is go to the clown guy after you get the cannon parts and you go to the top where the other clown guy is and ask to fly pay him the rupies and you fly through the blue diamond thingys (for extra money) and if you get it right land on the rotating platform and open the chest and haleluja a purple rupie!!!! Yaaaaaay!!!!!$$$$$$$$$$$

T be a chicken hit it with your sword like 5-8 times and you can be it for a limited time. <(^_^)>

T be a chicken hit it with your sword like 5-8 times and you can be it for a limited time. <(^_^)>

The big cannon that you get repaird by this "strange" guy shot me not to the little lake to the sky but to the shop LOL!

Do you remember when you are in the gerudos desert when you are sneaking into the mirror place well you shoukd remember that the gaurd with that key was near that fire so keep on hitting it then it will brake and give you a heart peace.

Near the entrance to the 1st village you can use a sling-shot to knock down a beehive then use a bottle to scoop up a larvae. It heals 4 hearts!

To do the long jump attack lock on to something with your gale boomerang and while it's still out there do a jump attack and you will do a jump attack really far.
NOTE: this will not work on the Wii(or so I am told).

When you fight ganon, take out your fishing rod with a worm on it. Ganon stares at it mindlessly. Take it back and slash him hard while he's dazed.

When you do a roll hold the control stick up and hold B.

When you start a game file get to the part were you have to get money for a slingshot a the shop go to the pillar with vines growing pick up a pumkin and toss it.when it blows up the guy on the pillar will yell at you.

Go to Kakariko village and go to the biulding with the bell thing and shot a bomb-arrow at it and a silver rupee should fall out.To get it you can ethier use your galeboomarange quickley or turn into a wolf and go up there and get it.

Follow this order, go: left, down, right, right, up, left, up, up, left, down, down, right, up - this'll get them in the correct spots!

You fight Zant in 6 phases, each stage mimicking an area you've fought in before.
1) Forest Temple - Use your Shield to block his attacks, the Gale Boomerang to stun him and your Sword to hurt him.
2) Goron Mines - Use your Shield to block his attacks, the Iron Boots to balance yourself and your Sword to damage him after he attacks.
3) Lakebed Temple - Put on the Zora Armor, Iron Boots and use your Clawshot on Zant after he attacks to slice away.
4) Forest Temple - Roll into the pillar that he's standing on twice to knock him down, then fight.
5) Snowpeak Ruins - Just keep hittig him with the Ball & Chain.
6) Duel - Dodge or block his attacks with your Shield and when he's done just cut him up!
