Magic beans hints and tips for Zelda 64: Ocarina of Time

Magic beans

Creepglitch is here to tell you about where to plant those magic beans of yours.

First of all: Buy magic beans from the fat bean seller in ZORAS RIVER, in front of the first gate. Your first bean costs 10 rupees, your second 20 and so on...

Note: Beans must be planted while Link is young to be useful when he gets older.

Spot 1: By the bean seller in ZORA'S RIVER. Provides a shortcut and can get you a piece of heart.

Spot 2: By the laboratory in LAKE HYLIA. Helps you reach the fishing pond and even a piece of heart on top of the laboratory roof.

Spot 3: Behind the store in KOKIRI FOREST. Helps you reach a platform with lots of rupees and provides a lift to the lost woods.

Spot 4: Go left, left from the entrance of LOST WOODS and plant the bean. Provides a shortcut to the forest bridge.

Spot 5: Go right, left, right, left, left from the entrance of LOST WOODS to the area with the withered tree and plant the bean. Helps you get a hidden skulltula during night.

Spot 6: Outside Dodongo's cavern in DEATH MONTAIN TRAIL. Helps you get near the trail to the mountain top and allows you to take a piece of heart on the way.

Spot 7: Play Bolero of fire and warp to DEATH MOUNTAIN crater and plant your seventh bean. Helps you reach a piece of heart and provides a shortcut to the crater's entrance.

Spot 8: Go to KAKARIKO GRAVEYARD and plant yet another bean. Helps you reach a secret, not-that-well-hidden box. Care to take a guess what's in it?

Spot 9: Go to GERUDO VALLEY and find the small chicken. Grab it and soar from the cliff to the lower platform and plant your valuable bean in the soft soil. It helps you get a piece of heart hidden in the largest waterfall.

Spot 10: Plant your last bean in front of the Spirit temple in the GERUDO DESERT. Helps you get (you guessed it, didn't you?) a piece of heart on the large rock pile in front of the temple. At night you can also get a skulltula on your way to the rock pile.

That's all of 'em

Creeplglitch's last note: Bring bottled bugs (find them in grass or under rocks) and drop them by the bean spot. In all of them (except the first one) you'll get a skulltula when you release the bugs in front of the soil.
