Welcome to my very first FAQ/Walkthrough/Guide! And look! What luck! It's what
you're looking for! In this guide you will most likely find bad jokes and good
info on the game. If you look at the whole thing, you'll find many things about
the game you *probably* didn't know! There are even sections that have things
to do after you beat the game - Great codes!
This guide not only shows you what to do, but it's very detailed, so enjoy! This
is only a fraction of the information found on my Link's Awakening site, The Wind
Fish's Egg! Give it a visit sometime if you need more help or if you want great
maps to follow along with this guide!

Though you fulfilled the Hylian prophecy of the Legendary Hero and destroyed the
evil tyrant Ganon, the land of Hyrule enjoyed only a precarious peace.
"Who knows what threats may arise from Ganon's ashes?" the restless people murmured
as they knitted their brows and shook their heads. Ever vigilant, you decided
to journey away from Hyrule on a quest for enlightenment, in search of wisdom
that would make you better able to withstand the next threat to your homeland.
Months of difficult travel passed. After a long and fruitful voyage, you breathed
deeply the seas spray from the deck of the ship that carried you home to Hyrule.
But your homecoming was not to be. Suddenly a squall struck your ship, and though
you valiantly fought the waves, a lightning bolt reduced your ship to splinters.
Your world faded to black as you sink into the darkness of the storm-tossed sea
with the remains of your craft. But in the cold darkness of the deep, you hear
a comforting voice that reminded you of home. It was the voice of Princess Zelda!
"You're going to be all right!" the voice said. "What a relief!"
You opened your eyes to find Princess Zelda standing over you-or was it?! Actually,
it turned out to be a woman named Marin. She explained that you had drifted with
the wreckage of your ship to the shores of Koholint Island. This mysterious island
was unique for the giant egg which crowned its central mountain. It was said
that a mythical creature, the Wind Fish, lay asleep inside the egg.
You set out in search of your sword and other gear that might have washed up on
the beach with you. As you stood in the surf with your recovered sword, a strange
owl suddenly appeared and hooted this riddle:
"Awaken the Wind Fish and all will be answered."
"What is the Wind Fish?" you wonder...And what did its awakening portend? Your
most mysterious adventure yet, following the riddle of the Wind Fish through the
uncharted island of Koholint, is about to unfold.

| ON THE MAIN SCREEN |
*--------------------*
CONTROL PAD
***********
Moves your character around the screen. Obviously, up moves your character up,
down moves it down, etc. By holding the direction towards an object, you can
push it. If you move your character towards a hill, you will jump it automatically
to the bottom. This is the same for waterfalls.
A BUTTON
""""""""
This button can be assigned a weapon from your Sub-Screen. Press the button to
use the item. If you're near a chest, press the Button to open it and take its
contents. If you happen to be near one of the island's inhabitants, press the
Button to begin talking. If the message is long, you'll have to press the Button
again to reveal the rest of the message. When swimming, this speeds up your moves.
B BUTTON
^^^^^^^^
This Button is very similar as the A Button. You can assign a weapon to it and
you can open chests in the same fashion as you do with the A Button. When you're
in a conversation, however, press this Button to make the speaker turn into a
mime, incapable of speaking. Actually, it just cancels the message, but if it's
too important, you may not be able to cancel it. Press this to dive in the water
when swimming, too.
START BUTTON
============
This Button brings the Sub-Screen up.
SELECT BUTTON
-------------
Pressing this will bring the map of Koholint up. All of the dark squares are
screens that you have not explored yet. When you see a special icon pop up, press
the A Button to read what is important there. Otherwise, just press the A Button
to see the name of the place.
*-------------------*
| ON THE SUB-SCREEN |
*-------------------*
CONTROL PAD
***********
This will move the cursor in your item list.
A BUTTON
""""""""
Pressing this Button will swap the item you have assigned to the Button with the
weapon that the cursor is placed on.
B BUTTON
^^^^^^^^
This assigns an item to the B Button in the same way as the A Button does.
START BUTTON
============
This exits the Sub-Screen and returns you to the Main Screen.
SELECT BUTTON
-------------
When holding this down, a smaller menu will pop up showing you how many Heart
Pieces and Photos you have.

PREFACE TO WALKTHROUGH
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all, when you hear a coordinate of a screen, use the below example.
A B C D
_ _ _ _
1 |_|_|_|_|
2 |_|_|_|_|
3 |_|_|_|_|
4 |_|_|_|_|
So, if I'm referring to B-3, you'd start from the northwestern corner of the map.
Go over 2 and then down 3. That would be B-3. This won't be used in dungeons,
though. If coordinates are NOT used, I'll simply describe the surroundings to
indicate what screen I mean.
This is just a basic walkthrough. It doesn't tell you how to get everything in
the game inside. Be sure to explore on your own, too! To learn about Heart Pieces,
Secret Seashells, and the like, go to their corresponding sections. The walkthrough
will provide you with some of those items along the way, but the rest of them
are to be found on your own. By using the sections and this walkthrough together,
you'll get complete coverage of the game.
If you can't seem to find something in this guide, just look! After looking through,
if you ABSOLUTELY CAN'T find what you need, E-mail me (
[email protected]) and
I will help you with whatever you need. The E-mail must be about something that
you CAN'T FIND on the guide. Anything that is on this guide will be disregarded
and marked with a big red 'DELETE' stamp. Comments are gratefully accepted, as
well as errors found in the guide. I, like everyone else, am not perfect, so
if you see an error (spelling or grammar) or some wrong info, just tell me in
an E-mail. You will get credit, of course, in the 'Special Thanks' section.
Right! Now for the walkthrough!

| QUEST FOR TAIL CAVE |
*------------------------------------------------------------------------*
OBJECTIVES
==========
-Get your shield from Tarin
-Get your sword from the beach
-Get the Sleepy Mushroom
-Obtain Magic Powder from the Witch
-Get the Tail Key
MABE VILLAGE
************
You wake up in Marin's House. Marin is a bright young woman who lives with
her father, Tarin. After hopping out of bed, be sure to talk to Tarin. He'll
give you your shiny new shield back! With shield in arms, exit the house and
go left 2 screens. This is the town's well. Go down and enter the building.
Read all of the books to learn basic info. There will be 2 books that are very
curious - one is on the top of a shelf and another has text too small to read.
Keep these books in mind for later. Exit the library and go down a screen.
SOUTH OF THE VILLAGE & TORONBO SHORES
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Hop off all of the cliffs until you reach the sandy shores of Toronbo. While
exploring around the beach, you'll see spiny sea urchins. Using your shield,
push them aside to open the way up to your sword. When you reach your sword,
a mysterious owl will fly down and hoot a riddle to you - "Awaken the Wind Fish
and you can leave this isle." Now knowing your quest, backtrack to Mabe Village.
MABE VILLAGE (Revisited)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Now with sword in hand, many of the town's attractions open up to you. Try looking
in the well and inside the Trendy Game - both have useful prizes. Don't worry
about the Trendy Game, the claw never drops the prize inches away from the pick-up
slot like in real life (Ahh...the power of electronics). After thoroughly exploring
the village, head back to the well. Go up and cut the bushes out of your way.
MYSTERIOUS WOODS & KOHOLINT PRAIRIE
===================================
Once again, the strange owl greets you. It tells you to find the key to the Tail
Cave inside the forest. After it leaves, continue up a screen and right 2 screens.
Enter the strange tunnel. After destroying the bats (Keese), push the stones
around to access the chest. Open it for 50 rupees. Watch out that the floor
doesn't crumble beneath you! Walk around a lot to avoid falling. Continue up
and defeat the Gels that pop out at you. Go left to find a room full of stones.
Push them until you make a path to escape from the cave.
After emerging from the cave, you'll see a mushroom behind some bushes. Grab
it! With the smelly mushroom in your possession, reenter the cave and make it
to the end. After exiting the tunnel, go up and fight the 2 Moblins. Continue
up and destroy the enemies. After they're vanquished, go right 2 screens, killing
any enemies in your way. Go down 2 screens and you should see a gravestone on
the left that's inaccessible at this point. Go right and enter the Witch's Hut.
Show her your mushroom and she'll turn it into Magic Powder for free! After
acquiring it, go back to screen C-8 (the screen with the entrance to the first
tunnel you went into).
From screen C-8, go left a screen and up 2 screens. The Raccoon says that he
doesn't like powder, so sprinkle some on him. He'll bounce around all over the
place and finally explode revealing...Tarin?! Tarin will go back home to get
some rest, opening the way up to you. What's up there? The Tail Key of course!
Open the chest and the owl will give you more instructions. After the owl is
gone, go back to Mabe Village.
MABE VILLAGE & SOUTH OF THE VILLAGE (Revisited...again)
-------------------------------------------------------
From the screen with the well, go back down 2 screens. Follow the path to the
right 3 screens. Destroy all Octoroks that get in your way. Follow around the
curving path and you'll find Tail Cave. Unlock the door with the Tail Key and
enter the dungeon.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the start of the level?
Go left and hit the enemies into the pit with your sword. A small key will fall.
Grab it and go left. Defeat the Gels and the statues will stop firing at you
(the door will open, too). Open the chest for the Compass. Backtrack right 2
screens and go up. Go right and destroy the Keese and the Stalfos. Open the
chest (map) and go back to the left. Hit the enemy into the pit and stand on
the button. A chest will appear that holds a small key. Get it and go left.
Defeat all of the Keese and the doors will open. Go up and destroy the Moldorm.
A chest will appear. Open it for 20 rupees. Continue up and unlock the door.
Enter the new room and make your way around the blocks by going right to the
upper part of the screen and to the left. Push the block farthest away in any
direction and the door to the left will open. Use your shield to flip the enemies
onto their backs, making them vulnerable. After destroying the duo, a stairway
will appear. Go down it and go through the underground passage.
After emerging, go up 2 screens and open the chest to receive Roc's Feather!
Save and Quit or walk back to the level's entrance. From the start, go up and
to the left. Destroy the Keese and go up. Go right and carefully open the chest
guarded by the Bubble (small key). Go to the right and destroy the enemies to
make the door open. Go left and to the upper right to get behind the blocks.
Go up and jump across the pit. Unlock the block and continue left. Open the
chest for the Nightmare Key. Go back right and down. Go left and go on the other
side of the blocks around and around...). Go right and unlock the door. Go up
and 'discard' the Three-of-a-Kind to get the Stone Beak. Though you don't really
need it, getting all of the treasures in the dungeon shows determination, especially
against the Three-of-a-Kind! You must time your hits to make all 3 hold the same
suit.
Go down and jump over the pit. Go right and defeat Rolling Bones by jumping over
the spiked log and hitting the bouncing quail with your sword. After he's through,
go up and unlock the Nightmare Door. Defeat the Moldorm by striking its flashing
tail segment. After a hit, it will speed up. If you wait a bit, it'll slow down
again. On the 3rd hit, it'll stay fast, so watch out. Try hitting it with 2
normal blows and once with a Whirling Blade. After 4 hits from your sword, he'll
leave a Heart Container. Grab it and go up to claim the Full Moon Cello!
*------------------------------------------------------------------------*
| QUEST FOR BOTTLE GROTTO |
*------------------------------------------------------------------------*
OBJECTIVES
==========
-Rescue Bowwow from the Moblin Gang
-Make Bowwow eat your way into Level 2
SOUTH OF THE VILLAGE AND MABE VILLAGE
*************************************
When you exit level 1, the owl will visit you and congratulate your accomplishments.
Yay, you beat level 1! It turns out that it didn't think you could do that simple
level! Keep your rage against the owl in now, it does get even more annoying
with its continuous hooting of more and more text...
Anyway, walk back to Mabe Village. As soon as you enter, two children will come
and tell you that Bowwow was stolen. You, being the only hero on the entire island,
must save it! You can get more info at Madame MeowMeow's house, but you probably
don't need it. Continue to the Mysterious Forest, a few screens up from the town's
well.
MYSTERIOUS FOREST
"""""""""""""""""
Walk to the cave entrance that lead to the Sleepy Mushroom (up 2 screens and right
2 screens from the entrance). From there, go up 2 screens, killing all enemies
along the way. Go right 2 screens and grab the Heart Piece from the pit-surrounded
island. Jump up a screen and right a screen. Enter the cave here.
BOWWOW DUNGEON
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Start by defeating the Moblin Warrior who guards the entrance. After the doors
open, go up and turn the 4 Moblins in the room to nice ham dinners. Continue
right and do battle with the Moblin King. Use your Shield to block it's arrows,
then move away when it starts to pound its chest. It will charge into the wall,
stunning itself. Rush in with your trusty blade and give it a few swipes. Repeat,
rinse, dry. After it's gone, go right and push the stone to free Bowwow!
TAL TAL HEIGHTS & GOPONGA SWAMP
===============================
Exit the dungeon and go right a screen. Your favorite hooting friend will come
and blab on about how Bowwow is a fierce animal. Go right after it's gone. The
shop here is the Photographer's House. After you rid yourself of Bowwow, you
can come back here and start an album of pictures! Keep that in mind for later.
Continuing your quest, go left 3 screens and down a screen. You'll be on the
screen where you got the Heart Piece from the pit-surrounded island. Go left
3 screens and jump over the pit. Continue left a screen and go up. Go into the
house if you want to meet Mr. Write. If not, go right 2 screens to enter the
swamp. Go up and let Bowwow eat the poisonous Goponga flowers that stand in your
way. After exploring the swamp a bit, you'll find a chest containing 50 rupees
and the entrance to level 2! Allow Bowwow to clear the flowers blocking it and
enter!

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Too bad Bowwow can't come into the dungeon with you...Well, from the start?
Go up. You can't get the chest here until you get the Power Bracelet. Throw
some Magic Powder in both of the pots in the dark room. The door to the right
will open...from light?! Anyway, go right and defeat the 2 Stalfos in the room
for a small key. Grab it and unlock the lower door. Charge up your sword and
walk around to make the Shyguy stand right behind your back. Let go of the sword's
button and it'll defeat the Shyguy, revealing a chest. Open it and you'll get
the compass.
Go back up and to the right. Hit the crystal switch and the blocks will go down.
Go down and defeat the Stalfos. Hit the crystal switch with your sword to make
the blocks go down. Open the chest (small key) and hit the switch when you are
standing on a block. The blocks will rise and you'll be standing on an upraised
one. Jump to the two blocks on the right and fall off of them. Continue right
and jump over the pits to the crystal switch. Hit it and stand on the small switch.
A chest will appear above you. Walk up and open it (small key).
Jump to the ledge on the upper side of the screen and go up. Defeat the 2 Shyguys
by using your Whirling Blade Technique. A key will drop out of reach. Go down
and jump over the pits to the crystal switch. Ignore it and continue jumping
to the left. Hit the crystal switch on this screen and go up. Go right and get
the key that dropped before. Go back to the left 3 screens and unlock the door
in the dark room.
Ignore the traps, defeat the Keese, and go up. Jump over the pit and knock the
enemy into the pit with your sword. Open the chest (map) and go back to the level's
start (or Save and Quit). From the start, go up and put Magic Powder in each
of the pots to light the room and open the right door. Go right 2 screens and
hit the crystal switch. Go down and hit the crystal switch with your sword when
you're standing on a block that's down. You'll be on an uprisen block (again).
Jump to the right over the two blocks and go right. Make your way across the
pits and hit the crystal switch.
Jump over to the platform at the top of the screen and go up. Ignore the Shyguys
and go right. Ignore the enemies and unlock the door. Go up and destroy all
of the Keese in the room. Push the two blocks in the middle of the room onto
the different floor tiles (or just push them together, same thing) and a staircase
will appear. Go down the stairs and jump from moving platform to moving platform.
After exiting the underground passage, jump to the door shaped like a body.
Watch it-there are holes in the ground around the platform you're on. You'll
emerge in a mini boss battle.
Hit the Hinox with your sword while playing 'Dodge Bomb' with it (Ahhh...Oracle
of Ages game!). It may charge at you, too. When it does, it will pick you up
and throw you, causing major damage as well as giving you the risk of falling
down a cracked floor tile. After a few hits, it'll die and leave a warp hole
behind (as well as the door opening). Go right and jump over the pits to the
upper exit of the room. Continue up and stay in the doorway of the room. All
of the Keese will be sucked into the Vacuum (survival of the fittest!).
You can ignore the chest, there's only a map inside, but if you really want it,
wait for the Vacuum to stop sucking you in to open it. Concentrate on going up
(beware, though. Falling into the Vacuum warps you to the level's beginning).
After you're up, get the chest for 20 rupees. Unlock the left door and hit the
Boo Didleys so they fall back. Try to light a pot with Magic Powder. The room
will light and the Boo Didleys will turn into small, black, yelping balls of gas.
Hit them with your sword and a chest will appear. Open it for the Power Bracelet!
Head back right and lift the pots to gain access right. Go to the upper right.
Walk to the crystal switch that *should* have a raised block in front of it.
If the blocks are in your way, go back to the left and take the lower path. Hit
the switch once and return to the upper part of the screen. After you're standing
on a flat block, hit the crystal switch. Jump down to the lowered block in front
of the switch and hit it again. Walk to the right and hit it again. Open the
chest (small key) and go right.
Hit the enemies into the pit and continue right. Destroy the Keese and the Stalfos
and go down. Eliminate the Pols Voice (bunny thing) with a pot. Then destroy
the Keese. Finally, destroy the Stalfos. A chest will appear when you defeat
them in that order. The chest will have the Nightmare Key! Grab it and go up.
Unlock the door and go in. Throw pots at the Pols Voice and destroy the Gel
to make a stairway appear. Go down the stairs and stand on the ledge to make
it fall. Link must be heavy...Anyway, go left and pick up the pot at the bottom
of the ladder. Climb up and stand on the ledge with the pot and it'll sink.
Climb out of the passage and jump to the Nightmare Door. Unlock it and do battle
with the Genie.
Destroy the Genie by dodging its fireballs and hitting the pot with your sword
when he goes inside of it. Pick up the pot when it stops moving (and when he
stops blabbing on and on...) and throw it against the wall. Repeat this process
2 more times and the pot will break. Hit the genie as it comes towards you.
After being hit, it'll project 2 images of itself around the room. They won't
hurt you, so jump around and be ready for the Genie to appear at any second.
Jump the fireball and hit it with your sword. Repeat until dead. Grab the Heart
Container and go left to get the Conch Horn!

| QUEST FOR KEY CAVERN |
*------------------------------------------------------------------------*
OBJECTIVES
==========
-Return Bowwow to its owner
-Buy a shovel and bombs
-Get some Bananas
-Recover 5 Golden Leaves
-Obtain the Slime Key
GOPONGA SWAMP
*************
When you exit the level, head left. Go to Mr. Write's house (screen A-4). Walking
a screen up, you'll see a cave. Enter that cave and get both chests inside.
Exit the cave and head down towards the Mysterious Forest, specifically, the screen
where you got the Sleepy Mushroom.
MYSTERIOUS FOREST
"""""""""""""""""
Enter the cave on the screen where you got the mushroom and push the stones to
make a path to the right. Go right and backtrack left. The stones will reset,
giving you access to the Heart Piece. After acquiring it, continue right and
down. Exit the cave and go a screen left and a screen down. Open the chest here
for a Secret Seashell. After emptying the chest, walk on your way back to the
forest's entrance. Exit down to Mabe Village.
MABE VILLAGE
^^^^^^^^^^^^
First, go to Madame MeowMeow's house to return Bowwow. After getting your reward
(what will Marin think?), go to the Shop and buy a shovel with your hard-earned
money. Buy bombs, too, you'll need them. Make sure you have your Trade Sequence
up to date, you'll need the bananas. Read the Trading Section for info on how
to get them. After you have all of the goods listed above, walk to the far right
side of town and lift the rocks blocking the path.
UKUKU PRAIRIE
=============
Go a screen right and you'll see a strange hole with lights circling it. This
is a warp hole, one of 4 on Koholint Island. You can't warp anywhere until you
find another, so go down 2 screens, right a screen, and down a screen. Enter
the house and talk to Richard. He'll tell you that he and his frogs had to
run...err...jump away to their villa from an attack by deranged guards. Accept
his quest and exit his house.
Go right a screen and up 2 screens. That water is the gateway to level 3. You'll
find out more about that later, so for now, go right a screen and up 2 screens.
Talk to Grandpa Ulrira in the telephone booth if you like, but to continue the
quest, go right a screen and up a screen. This is Kanalet Castle, Richard's home.
You'll see that the drawbridge is up, leaving no path to enter. If you have
visited the Photographer, walk up to the drawbridge for a rare picture. If not,
I suggest you visit him.
Anyway, continue right 2 screens and talk to the monkey, Kiki. Kiki will call
upon his friends to build a bridge for you after giving him bananas. Once monkey
will leave a stick behind. Grab it and head up 3 screens. Yet another telephone
booth, leaving the unanswered question, "Where are Koholint's telephone lines?"
Go left and slash at the bush.
KANALET CASTLE
--------------
Inside the cave under the bush will be Goombas and spikes. Jump over all of them
and exit the cave. You will be inside to castle. Go left a screen and down a
screen, defeating both Darknuts on your way. See the crow on the tree? It won't
budge until you chuck a stone at it. Slash at it after it tries to fly off.
You'll get Gold Leaf #1. Go down a screen and right 2 screens, vanquishing all
foes on the way. Continue up and fight with the Bomb Trooper for possession of
Gold Leaf #2. After it's gone, go to the main castle entrance, a screen down
and left of where the Bomb Trooper was.
Enter the castle and head left. Kill all of the enemies here (except the Anti-Faerie)
to get Gold Leaf #3. Fight your way up and right. Stand on the switch to open
the drawbridge. Go up the small staircase and go left. Walk upstairs and place
a bomb near the left wall decoration you see. A Darknut Warrior will pop out.
Fight it for Gold Leaf #4. After collecting it, head right a screen, down a
screen, and left a screen. Exit the castle.
You'll emerge on a screen with 2 castle entrances. Go to the right one and enter.
Pick up a pot and throw it at the door. If you need bombs or hearts, you can
find one of each in the collection of pots. Go up when you're ready and defeat
the Ball and Chain Trooper. After he's done, you'll have a happy Sub-Screen full
of 5 Gold Leaves! Exit the castle and go back to Richard's Villa.
UKUKU PRAIRIE (revisited)
*************************
Enter Richard's Villa and give him the Gold Leaves. He'll allow you to push a
crate aside. Underneath will be a staircase. Go down it and make your way up
to the staircase (there's a chest here with a Secret Seashell, too). Go up it
and exit the cave. You'll emerge in a field of bushes. Slash your way through
them to find a path, or pull at them for an easier way to get through. If they
don't budge, there's a pit under it. Make your way to the end where you'll find
an owl statue.
That's no ordinary owl statue. Inside the soil underneath it is the Slime Key!
Dig it up and make your way back to Richard's Villa. Exit his house and go up
a screen, left a screen, and up a screen. Unlock the level and walk around to
the water I mentioned earlier. Jump from island to island to get to the level.
Enter it!

------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the start, pick up a pot and throw it against the upper door to break it
open. Go up and defeat all of the enemies on this screen. A chest will appear
containing a small key. Take it and go the upper right path. Defeat the 4 Gels
that pop up and the doors will open. The chest has a Gel, so you don't have to
get it. Continue up. Ignore the enemies and go up yet again. Quickly go down
the stairs so you don't have to confront the Gels. You'll resurface in a room
with 4 locked doors on each side. Quickly charge up your sword for a Whirling
Blade Technique (WBT) to destroy the Gels that pop up.
Unlock the upper door. Inside will be 2 Stalfos and a crystal switch. Defeat
the enemies and a small key will drop. Hit the crystal switch and go down and
back up the stairs. Get the chest here (Stone Beak) and go down 2 screens. Defeat
the 4 Gels and go right. Get the chest in this room for a map. Go back left
and up to the staircase. Go back down the stairs (geez, Link gets lots of exercise!).
WBT the Gels and go back to the crystal switch room. Hit the switch again and
go back down a screen. Unlock the right door this time. Ignore the Pairodd and
go to the staircase.
You'll be on an upraised platform. Walk around the perimeter of this platform
to scare out Gels. Defeat all of them and a small key will fall. Grab it and
go up. There will be 2 Stalfos and a load of pots. Head left and go up. Defeat
the Dodongo Snakes by walking up to them and placing a bomb in front of their
mouths. After one eats 3 bombs, it'll explode. When both are vanquished, the
door to the right will open.
Go right. Push the block farthest to the right down and push the block closest
to the two blocks above the crystals left. Open the chest and you'll get the
Pegasus Boots. Walk back to the Mini-Boss' room. Enter the Warp Hole and you'll
be back at the level's entrance. Walk right and dash into the Vacuum with your
Pegasus Boots before it shoves you off into a pit. Get the chest behind it for
a small key. Go back left and up.
Go to the upper left this time and dash through the crystals. Defeat the Mini-Gel
and go up. Push the block to the right and go down. Defeat the Stalfos and a
chest will appear. Inside will be 200 rupees. Grab it and Save and Quit (or
walk back to the level's entrance). From the entrance, go into the warp hole.
Go down when you emerge in the Mini-Boss' room. Walk left and dash into the
Telekeets, defeating the Gels that pop along the way.
Grab the small key that falls. Continue up and defeat all of the enemies and
a chest will appear out of reach. Go up again and go to the upraised platform.
Walk down and get the chest (Stone Beak). Move down and to the right. Continue
right and hit the wall until you find a place where it sounds different. Place
a bomb there and a new doorway will appear. Go into it and equip the Pegasus
Boots and Roc's Feather. Run and jump over the 3-sprite-long pit. Open the chest
for the Nightmare Key.
Leap off the upraised platform and go up a screen. Defeat all of the enemies
in this room (the easiest way to defeat the countdown Bombites is to hit them
away when the begin to flash). The doors will open, so walk left. Get the chest
and poke the wall with your sword until you hear a different sound when you hit
it. Place a bomb there and a doorway will appear. Continue into it and defeat
all of the Bombites in the room. Grab the key and pick up the pots to get a faerie.
Save and Quit. When you restart, warp to the Mini-Bosses' room. Go down and
unlock the block on the screen. Walk up and unlock the block on this screen.
Continue right and (you guessed it) unlock the block on this screen. For the
last time, go down and unlock the block to access the staircase leading to the
boss. Go down the stairs. Dash into the giant block and it'll fall. Jump down
onto it and walk to the right. This part can be tricky, so hopefully you have
a lot of hearts. Equip the Pegasus Boots and Roc's Feather. Run and jump to
the ladder. If you fall into the spikes, try to make your way to the right and
grab the ladder. Go up the ladder and exit the cave.
You'll find yourself in a room full of crystals. Dash into the Pairodd. When
all of them are destroyed, go left. Defeat all of the Keese in this room for
a small key. This key serves for exploration of the dungeon, so pocket it. Unlock
the Nightmare Door and dash into the wall to make the Slime Eye fall. Repeatedly
hit it until the two eyes are hanging on by a thread. Dash into the thread and
they'll be separated. For the easiest way to defeat them, use the WBT on the
eyeballs. When you hit one, it flies up and it's shadow will be seen. Jump when
it lands or you'll be stunned for a short while. After both are gone, grab the
heart container and claim the Sea Lily Bell!

UKUKU PRAIRIE
*************
After your valiant defeat of the Slime Eyes, the owl will fly down and hoot at
you some more. Blah, blah, the same...After his departure, head up to the warp
hole you found. Go on right and follow the path until you meet up with Tarin.
He'll knock down a bee hive if you let him have your stick. Take the fallen
honeycomb and go down a screen. Bomb the giant Moblin-like statue for a shortcut.
Now head back to Mabe Village.
MABE VILLAGE
""""""""""""
Go a screen up from the town's Shop. You'll see an odd shrine surrounded by stones.
Pick them up and toss them aside. Enter the building and slip into the bed.
You'll dream of a shrine of dreams, the Dream Shrine! This shrine of dreams makes
the dreamer dream of a shrine, all are dreams, but is the shrine a dream? Akkk,
no more tongue twisters!! Ok, you'll find some tough enemies called Armmimics
all over the place. They may not appear strong, but the only way to harm them
is to execute a Whirling Blade Technique on them. Simple, but there are cracked
floors as well.
To get past them, perform this simple trick-grab onto the wall. You can direct
the moves of them and make them all come to a single point. WBT them and you
can destroy all of them in one blow! After coming near the end, you'll find a
chest containing 100 rupees. Dash through the crystal at the base of the chests'
structure and go up to find yet another chest. This one has an Ocarina in it!
Exit the shrine.
Talk to Marin, who can be found on the normal screen - the rooster's grave. She'll
teach you a new song for your Ocarina - The Ballad of the Wind Fish! This plays
a major role later in the game. Now that you have that in your possession, head
back to the right into the Ukuku Prairie.
UKUKU PRAIRIE (revisited) & ANIMAL VILLAGE
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Make your way to the screen with Kanalet Castle's drawbridge. From there, go
down 3 screens and go right a screen. Chop the strange bush to uncover a secret
passageway. Enter it and dash through the crystals inside. At the end, you'll
emerge on another island. Go down and to the right. Welcome to Animal Village!
Talk to the locals there and explore the town. In one of the houses, you'll
find a bear chef in need of honey.
Trade your Honeycomb for his Pineapple. He'll tell you that Marin can help you
get to the Yarna Desert, where the key to level 4 rests. Depart for Mabe! An
easy way to get there is by way of warp holes. The second one you'll find is
south of Animal Village. Warp back to the Ukuku Prairie and go left to enter
Mabe.
MABE VILLAGE (revisited) & TORONBO SHORES
=========================================
Go to the screen Marin is usually on. She's not there? Check inside her house.
A note tells you that she's on the beach. Go back down to the screen where you
found your sword was (Screen C-16). Go right 2 screens and up a screen. Ignore
the monkey and go right to discover a chest. Open it and continue down to find
Marin! Talk with her and she'll follow you. Take her back to Animal Village!
ANIMAL VILLAGE (revisited) & YARNA DESERT
-----------------------------------------
Go south of the village and approach the walrus. Marin will start singing to
it. It will fall into the ocean in happiness of Marin's Song. Marin will depart
for Animal Village after opening Yarna Desert for you. Enter the dry region and
go up 3 screens. Defeat the Lanmola for the Angler Key. Slash at its head to
stand as the victor. Don't get swallowed by the sand pit, though! After thoroughly
exploring the desert, go to the entrance of Bowwow's Dungeon in Tal Tal Heights
(Screen F-4).
TAL TAL HEIGHTS
***************
From the screen with the entrance to Bowwow's Dungeon, go up a screen and lift
the stones up. Walk right on the upper path until you get to a screen with 2
Elite Moblins and a stone blocking the path right. Defeat the Moblins and go
right. If you explore the area a bit, you'll find your third warp hole, as well
as the keyhole for level 4. Unlock the level, and the nearby waterfall will stop
flowing, but how do you get to the entrance? Yep, you must jump from above.
TAL TAL MOUNTAIN RANGE
""""""""""""""""""""""
Return to the screen with 2 Elite Moblins and the stone (Screen H-3). Go left
a screen and up the stairs. Enter the cave via lifting the stones. Inside, defeat
the enemies and head right. Push the stones and defeat any Gels that pop up.
Make your way to the staircase and go down the stairs. Defeat all the enemies
while going to the right. Go up the staircase and head right. Exit the cave
and open the chest for some rupees. Reenter the cave and dash through the crystals
to the right. Exit again and head right a screen. Enter the cave and go through
it to emerge atop a small mountain.
Not far from the exit is Papahl. He's exhausted and needs energy. Give him your
Pineapple. He'll give you a Hibiscus in return. Leap off the mountain or go
back through the cave. Keep walking right until you see a spot to leap off.
Jump from it and you'll land by the entrance of level 4! Enter the fish!

L:4 - Angler's Tunnel
From the start, go up a screen. Go up to the upraised platform and head right
2 screens. Go down and open the chest (Stone Beak). Go left a screen then up
2 screens. You'll see a pit 3 sprites long. For now, ignore it and continue
up. Get the map from inside the chest and return to the screen with the long
pit. Jump over it by executing a long jump (Equip Pegasus Boots and Roc's Feather,
then run and jump). In this room, you'll see a cracked block. Use a bomb to
break it and push the remaining block into the water. Open the chest to get a
small key. Proceed upwards.
After a screen or two, you'll be in a room with another cracked block. Avoiding
the Anti-Faeries, bomb your way to the chest (small key). Pick up the hearts
if you need them. Save and Quit your game or walk back to the level's first screen
now.
From the entrance, walk up. Defeat the enemies and the door will open (how killing
them triggers it I don't know...). Go right and battle the enemies once again.
When they're vanquished, open the chest for the Compass. Go down a screen and
kill the Tektites. A small key is inside the chest, and the door will open once
every Tektite is gone. After going up, unlock the right door and hop from shallow
water to shallow water. Unlock this door and go up.
The chest you see should be gotten with the flippers, but you don't have them
yet, so continue upwards. Do a running jump over the pit when you slash the Gels.
Hop over and go up. Unlock the block and defeat the Stalfos and Whrrlrobe.
Walk left and destroy the gels for a key...or did you? The key will fall down
a flooded hole. With no flippers in your inventory, go down 2 screens and hop
across the shallow water to your left.
Continue left and up and you'll find a chest surrounded by enemies. Vanquish
them and open the chest for a Gel. Whoopee. Walk up again and you'll enter a
strange room with odd tiles. Ignore it for now, but keep that screen in mind
for later. Traverse right and open the chest. Small Key! Backtrack to the room
where the defeated Gels dropped a key into the flooded cave (Left a screen, down
2 screens, right 2 screens, up 2 screens).
Unlock this door. The giant tick-thingy is Cue-Ball. Don't let it run you over.
Stay near a straightway and jump over it as it comes near. Slash it in its abdomen
until it disappears. Quickly go up and to the left. If you don't make it between
the blocks, pull the lever on your right back until the blocks separate. Dash
for it! After getting through the tight squeeze, walk left and kill the Gels.
Open the chest. You've got the Flippers!
Go down and study the floor tiles (after destroying the enemies of course). They
resemble the ones in the room I told you to remember, right? Either write down
the sequence or memorize it. After having it in your head/on paper, go down and
swim right. Make your way back to that room that had the same tiles. Perform
the correct sequence and a staircase will pop up. Enter it!
Avoid the first Thwomp and go left. Make the Thwomp here crash to the ground
as you climb the ladder. Jump on its flat top to get boosted to the exit. This
may take practice, so you've been warned...Anyway, when you exit, go down and
open the chest (Nightmare Key). You have a choice now. Either Save and Quit
or walk back to the Mini-Boss's room. If you Save and Quit, jump into the warp
hole leading to the room of the Mini-Boss.
From there, go down a screen and right a screen. Annihilate the enemies and push
the blocks to open the way to the staircase. Go down it and explore the cave
to find that key that dropped down after defeating Gels. With it in your possession,
exit the cave and go left a screen. Walk down 2 screens and left a screen whilst
destroying any enemies in your path. Swim to the door and step on the switch
to open it. Continue up and unlock the block. Enter the cave and swim to the
exit. You'll come out in a rather small area. Walk left and kill the Gels.
Unlock the Nightmare Door and you'll battle...
A staircase?!?!
Actually, when you go down the stairs, you'll find a big Angler Fish. You should
probably slash at it's face like mad, but if it stops, move out of the way! It
will charge against the wall, making floor tiles drop. Keep slashing at it and
it's fry until it disappears to a Heart Container. Grab it and exit the battle
arena. Continue up and gain possession of the Surf Harp!

***************
When you exit the level, swim to the left and enter the cave. Talk to the giant
sunfish named Manbo. It'll teach you its mambo on your ocarina for free! This
song warps you to Manbo's Pond, which can be found on screen F-5. When you leave
the cave, swim to land and play it. You'll be warped to that screen in Koholint
Prarie.
KOHOLINT PRAIRIE & UKUKU PRAIRIE
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Walk out of the pond and down a few screens to appear in the Ukuku Prairie. If
you have a strange ghost following you now or at any part of this paragraph, skip
to the next section below. When you appear, try walking around on many screens,
like Kanalet Castle. Search the area for nothingness, all you're looking for
is the ghost to get you to the below paragraph. It appears randomly, so just
walk around.
TORONBO SHORES
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After acquiring your new buddy, walk down to the screen that you claimed your
sword on (Screen C-16). Walk 2 screen right and 1 screen up, destroying all enemies
in your path. Continue right 2 screens and down a screen. The ghost will tell
you to enter its house. It will then want to return to its grave. Exit and go
to the Witch's Hut on screen F-7.
KOHOLINT PRAIRIE (revisited) & MARTHA'S BAY
===========================================
From the screen with the Witch's Hut, go left and lift the stone. Walk down and
go around to the grave. It'll go back to its eternal rest after telling you to
check the pots in its house. After a happy visit from your favorite bird, head
over to Animal Village, the best way to get there is by the Warp Hole in Ukuku
Prairie.
Upon arrival, exit the village and go up a screen then left a screen. Enter the
water and swim around in Martha's Bay until you discover a giant Catfish's Head.
Dive in the water near the rocks and you'll discover a secret passageway. Swim
through the cave and you'll resurface inside the ring of rocks. Become the fish's
lunch to enter the level.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the beginning?
Go left a screen. Avoid the two enemies and walk left again. Destroy all of
the baddies in this room, and the door to the left will open. To destroy the
Iron Mask (walking shield-thing), hit it in it's back with your sword. Anyways,
go left through the now-opened door. Just avoid the enemies in this room and
continue down the staircase in the corner. Hop from platform to platform to make
it across to the exit of the underground passage.
After you come up, you'll be in a room with lots of crystal-like things and 4
Stalfos. Destroy the Stalfos and break all of the crystal things with your sword.
Push the top two blocks in the center of the room towards each other to make
a square. A key will fall. Grab it and head back to the cave. After you go
through it, you'll emerge in the room with 2 Iron Masks and a Spark. Destroy
the two Iron Masks to make the door open. Grab the Compass out of the chest and
continue right a screen.
Unlock the door and go up. Walk left and defeat the 2 Iron Masks. Go into the
door to the left and destroy all of the enemies in the room (not the Spark) to
make the chest with the map appear. Head right 2 screens. Go up and defeat all
of the Stalfos in this room to make the upper door open. Continue up and do battle
with Master Stalfos. Hit him with your sword to stun him and place a bomb next
to him while he's stunned. 3 bomb blasts will make him retreat. Walk right.
The chest here has a note from Master Stalfos saying that he has the Hookshot.
Yep, he's so polite, he leaves you a note to tell you that he stole something.
Go up and push the block in the middle of the room up. Walk right and battle
Master Stalfos again. 2 bombs will make him retreat this time. You get used
to his cowardice after awhile. When he's gone, go left a screen and push the
block left. Continue up. Jump across the pit and walk up. Head left and you'll
be in a room with blocks going diagonally across the room.
Pick up the pot on the diagonal block formation closest to the door. Push the
block to the left and pick up one of the pots on the other side of the room to
reveal a switch. Step on and the upper door opens. Go up and battle Master Stalfos
for the 3rd time. 2 hits makes him retreat once more. Go left after he's gone
and get the map. Grab the hearts if you need them. After you're done, Save and
Quit or play Manbo's Mambo to warp you back to the level's entrance.
Go left 3 screens and go down the stairs. Get through the underground cave like
you did before and you'll emerge in the room with many crystal things. Go left
a screen and battle Master Stalfos for the last time. After 3 bombs, he'll blow
up and leave the Hookshot. With the new weapon in your inventory, go back to
the underground tunnel a screen to the right.
After you emerge again, you'll have to defeat the 2 Iron Masks to open the door
again. Use your Hookshot to dispose of them easily. Go right when the door is
open. Continue a screen to the right (upper side) and Hookshot across the chasm
to the chest. Inside will be a lot of rupees, use them to buy the Bow later in
the game. Head back left and up. Walk left and up again. In this room, 2 Gels
will be under a bunch of flying arrows. A statue will fire at you until the Gels
are defeated. Go left from here and Hookshot across the traps to the left side
of the room. Go left and Hookshot across the chasm. Get the chest (small key)
and exit through the lower door.
Hookshot back across the traps and go right. Use the Hookshot to grab the bridge
on the right and extend it to yourself. Cross the bridge and go up. Unlock the
door and defeat the two Gohmas. Use your shield to block their charges and hookshot
them in the eyes when they're open. After you defeat them, head back to the room
with the flying arrows and the statue that fires at you.
Go down and to the right. Continue up two screens and to the right. This is
where you got that note about the Hookshot, remember? Walk up from here and push
the block in the middle of the room up. Head left and go up. Dive into the pool
of deep water in the middle of this room and you'll enter a secret flooded tunnel.
Swim to its exit and you'll emerge in a room with a chest in the corner. Use
your Hookshot to grab the bridge and cross it. Open the chest and you'll receive
the Nightmare Key. Walk back into the flooded passage and exit into the room
with the pool in its middle.
Go down and to the right. Push the block in the middle of the room to the right.
Continue up and hop right over the pit. Hookshot to the chest (50 rupees) and
open it. Go a screen to the right and Hookshot to the chest. Grab the small
key inside and go back to the left. Head up and use your Hookshot to grab the
bridge. Cross it and get the chest (50 rupees). Save and Quit or play Manbo's
Mambo to get back to the level's entrance.
Enter the warp you created by defeating the Gohmas and go through the upper right
door. Enter the stairwell. Use the Hookshot on the dragon's heads to be pulled
up to them. Get through the tunnel and you'll emerge next to a block that's locked.
Unlock the block (rhyming!!! AHH!!!) and Hookshot across the chasm. Continue
left and unlock the Nightmare Door. Defeat the Slime Eel by using your Hookshot.
Stay in a corner to avoid the tail, and when you have the chance, Hookshot its
mouth to pull it out of the wall. Slash the hearts in its neck if you see them.
If you Hookshot the mouth and a small eel comes out, bouncing around the room,
avoid it - it's a dud. After running a bit it'll blow up. Continue using these
battle techniques until the Slime Eel is no more. Grab the Heart Container and
go up to claim the Wind Marimba!

-Buy the Bow from Mabe Village's Shop
-Defeat the Armos Knight for the Face Key
-Read the inscription of the Wind Fish
-Finish the Trading Sequence
-Get the Boomerang from Toronbo Shores
MARTHA'S BAY
************
Since you defeated the Slime Eel and gained the Hookshot as a weapon, you can
finally finish the Trading Sequence! Explore all of Koholint as explained in
the Trading Section of this FAQ/Walkthrough to get the Magnifying Lens. This
important item will be your guide through the final level. It also allows you
to get a very important item - the Boomerang! This is the only way to defeat
Sparks, and they always give you a faerie for defeating them! Anyway, after you
acquire the Magnifying Lens, go to the screen on Toronbo Shores where you found
your sword (Screen C-16).
TORONBO SHORES
""""""""""""""
Go left 2 screens and bomb open the cave entrance. Enter it and you'll find an
old enemy in the Zelda series - a Goriya! It wants to trade its weapon, a boomerang,
for an item in your B Button. I suggest trading your Shovel, since you no longer
need it. This weapon is one of the best in the game, it's very powerful and can
be used to create a huge shortcut in level 7. Anyway, you need nothing else on
the beach, so head back to Mabe Village.
MABE VILLAGE
^^^^^^^^^^^^
When you reach the village, head over towards the shop. Inside you'll find a
very expensive item, the Bow. This is very useful in level 6, so buy it if you
have enough cash. If you don't, explore the many caves on Koholint or win it
in the Trendy Game. You don't want to pass this item up! When you have the weapon
in your inventory, walk right 2 screens from the shop and jump into the Warp Hole.
Warp to Animal Village and exit it as soon as you arrive.
SOUTHERN SHRINE
===============
When you leave Animal Village, walk up a few screens and right a few screens until
you meet up with Kaepora. After another long lecture, go right and lift all the
stones in your way to open the path right. Kill any enemies in your way as well.
After a bit of exploring, the path will open south. Walk down and you'll be
in a field full of statues. Some will awaken and attack you when touched. Simply
use your new boomerang to destroy them. After some self-exploration, you'll
discover an entrance to a shrine. Enter it!
Once inside, walk up. You'll awaken a huge Armos Statue. To defeat it, use your
bow and arrows. If you run out of arrows, charge up your sword and use a whirling
blade technique. When it jumps, hop in the air or you'll be paralyzed from the
shockwave. When hit a lot of times, it loses its shield. After a few more hits,
its armor wears off. Hit it a couple of times after that to destroy it, rewarding
you with the Face Key! Head up after your triumph.
Light the pots and look at the wall inscription. You'll hear a riddle of the
Wind Fish. Is the island true? Or is this only a dream? You'll only know when
you find all of the Sirens' Instruments and awaken the Wind Fish. Exit the shrine
and Kaepora will hoot at you until you shout 'MERCY!' out. Backtrack to the Animal
Village.
ANIMAL VILLAGE & FACE SHRINE
----------------------------
Exit Animal Village and go up a few screens. Dive into the water and swim up
a screen and right a few screens. You'll see an odd island with Armos Statues
on it. Defeat the left one to reveal a staircase. Enter it and swim through
the cave (use the Hookshot as well). Upon exiting, you'll be on another island.
Take the right path upwards and unlock the face. Face Shrine will emerge out
of the ruins. Go around to enter.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the start of the level, go left. Ignore the Wizzrobes and continue up 2
screens. From there, go left and you'll be face-to-face with a Mask-mimic.
Eliminate him and set a bomb by the crystal switch. Quickly go to the upper right
so you're above the lowered crystal. The bomb will activate the switch and 'trap'
you (the crystal will now be up). Walk up, it's the only way to go. Bomb the
right wall at its most obvious point. Head into the doorway you just made and
walk around, defeating any gels you meet. After defeating four, a staircase will
appear in the upper right. Walk down it!
Simply go left and ignore the giant Bubbles until you climb out of the underground
passage. When you submerge, kill the two Wizzrobes and the Moldorm. The door
will open, so go in! Get the chest in the upper left corner for the Power Bracelet
L:2! If you need life, pick up the pot in the upper right for a faerie. Continue
up into the man-shaped door and you'll wind up back at the room with the Maskmimic
and the crystal switch. Hit the crystal switch. This time, go into the upper
left (place a bomb by the switch in the same way you previously did).
Go up and pick up pots until you discover a switch. Stand on it and the door
on the left will open. Walk in and use you bow/bombs to kill the Wizzrobes.
Hit the switch to get the chest (map). Go up and to the right. The chest here
has the Stone Beak. Continue back left and throw a pot at the door to break it
open (you may have to go down and hit the crystal switch to make the pots accessible).
Walk into it and go right. Open the chest (compass) and hit the crystal switch.
Continue right and go down a screen. Head right 2 screens then up a screen.
Defeat the Wizzrobes here for a key.
Backtrack to the screen where you got the compass and go left. Break the door
in here with an elephant statue. Walk up and get the chest for 100 rupees. Exit
at the staircase here and you'll emerge in the Rapids Ride. Open the chest for
a secret seashell (or 20 rupees). Re-enter and go back to the start of the level.
The easiest way to do this is to play Manbo's Mambo, but it's a good idea to
save frequently, so do what you like to get back. Once you're there, go right.
Avoid the traps and walk right again. Defend against the tiles with your shield.
Once they're all gone, go into the door that just opened. Pick up an elephant
statue and throw it at the right door. Continue in and defeat all 4 of the Wizzrobes
to open the upper door. Go up a bunch of screens until you find a chest that
holds a small key. Backtrack to the room with 4 Wizzrobes. Walk left and unlock
the door with a small key. Bomb the upper wall near its middle and enter. Defeat
Smasher by picking up its ball and throwing it at the mini-boss about 4 times.
After its defeat, walk up and lift the left elephant statue to reveal a staircase.
Go down.
Make it to the left by jumping from ladder to ladder until you get to the underground
tunnel's exit. Exit the cave and you'll be in a room full of tiles. After they
perish, a key will fall. Get it, unlock the block, and continue up. Break the
door on the left with an elephant statue. Go left and throw the horse head statues
until they both land heads up. The door to the left will open. Walk in and go
down the stairs there.
Dash past the Thwimps and get to the underground tunnel's exit. Once exiting,
you'll be in a room full of Pol's Voices. Play the Ballad of the Wind Fish and
they'll self-destruct. Go up 2 screens if you want 50 rupees. Whatever you decide
to do, from the room that had the Pol's Voices in it, go down and defeat the Dodongos.
Continue left and hookshot across the chasm. Unlock the block and go up two
screens. You'll find that the chest won't open! Throw a pot at it to force it
open and get the Nightmare Key.
Once again, Save and Quit (or mambo) for a shorter trip and enter the mini boss's
warp hole. Continue up and lift the elephant statue on the left. Enter the
underground passage, making it through the way you did before. After you exit,
walk down after defeating the tiles. Destroy all of the gels without getting
sucked into the vortex to make the door on the right open. Once scared out, they'll
most likely be sucked into a pit. After the door opens, go into it and push the
block near the lower wall right. Shoot arrows vertically up to the Wizzrobe to
defeat it. Continue up a screen.
If you need life, powder the two unlit pots. The two Sparks will turn into faeries.
After you're satisfied, unlock the Nightmare Door and do battle with Facade.
Place bombs on its face. The bombs will explode and it'll suffer damage. It
may make tiles come up and fly at you, so be ready with your shield. Jump the
pots, for you can't shield them. Eventually, holes will appear and disappear
(they're not hard to avoid). After bombing him awhile, get the heart container
and go up to claim the Coral Triangle!

| QUEST FOR EAGLE'S TOWER |
*------------------------------------------------------------------------*
OBJECTIVES
==========
-Learn the Frog's Song of Soul from Mamu
-Awaken the Flying Rooster from its grave
-Acquire the Bird Key
-Trek to Eagle's Tower
ANIMAL VILLAGE & UKUKU PRAIRIE
******************************
After your valiant defeat of Facade, you'll hear another tale from Kaepora. After
the long talk, make your way back to Animal Village either by water or land.
Once there, go south and into the warp hole. Warp to the Ukuku Prairie and go
southwest. You'll see a long row of pits. Get a running start with your Pegasus
Boots and leap over the pits using Roc's Feather. Read the sign. It tells you
to go down. Follow it!
SIGNPOST MAZE
"""""""""""""
Don't be overwhelmed - the signposts do have an order, and it's not random. Once
you read a sign telling you which way to go, align yourself in front of the signpost
in the direction it pointed. Walk that direction until a sign is in your path.
Read that sign and do the same. After you get the hang of it, you'll breeze
through the puzzle.
A mistake will make you have to restart, but with the above trick, you shouldn't
mess up. After completing the maze, a staircase will appear. Enter it and pay
Mamu the famous singer 300 Rupees to hear him croak. After surviving the singer's
music, you acquire the Frog's Song of Soul, capable of awakening unliving things!
Exit Mamu's cave and go north to Mabe Village.
MABE VILLAGE
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Walk to the Rooster Statue and push it up with your new Power Bracelet strength.
Enter the cave underneath the statue. You'll find Rooster bones on a pedestal.
Play the Frog's Song of Soul and the Rooster's Soul will flow into the room and
bring the bones back to life! When you pick up this rooster with the Power Bracelet,
you can hover in the air! Take this poultry just outside Mabe to the warp hole,
warping to Tal Tal Heights.
TAL TAL HEIGHTS
===============
From the warp hole, go left many screens and go to higher ground. On the screen
with 2 Elite Moblins and a stone, lift the stone and go left a screen. Climb
up the stairs and lift the stones surrounding the cave. Enter the cave and destroy
the enemies in your way. After emerging from the cave into the Tal Tal Mountain
Range, go right a few screens and swim to the large staircase. Climb the stairs
and go left until you find a suspicious cave.
Enter the cave and go left a screen when inside. Push the stones to make a path
to the upper left. Hookshot to the upper right and go up. Pick up the Flying
Rooster and float over the pit to safety on the left. Go left and pick up the
Bird Key. Now with the key in hand, exit the cave and climb back down the long
staircase into the pool of water on the Tal Tal Mountains.
Swim right and enter the cave. Fight your way to its exit and you'll emerge on
the opposite side of the screen from where you entered. Continue right and climb
the staircase to the cave. Walk to its exit and you'll see a cave on the right
with a sealed cave on the bottom of the screen. Simply go left and enter the
cave. Walk to the staircase and hop over the pit. Go up the small staircase
and go right. Avoid the enemies, making your way down. Hookshot across the chasm
and leap off the platform to the cave's exit.
When you exit, bomb the sealed cave if you need health. Enter the other cave
on this screen and go up to the stairs. Ignore the enemies and exit the skull-shaped
cave. You will exit a building-looking structure. Kill the Gohmas and go left.
Pick up the stone blocking the keyhole and unlock the rock. Eagle's Tower will
twist around, revealing a staircase to enter. Walk up the stairs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you start, I heavily advise you to copy your saved file if possible. In
some areas of this level, it is possible to lose the ball you need to complete
the level. A few unlucky people had top restart their games from getting the
ball stuck in unreachable spots. Anyway, from the start,
Go right 2 screens and defeat all of the enemies on this screen (not the
Anti-faerie)to get a key. Unlock the door on this screen and go up. Walk up
the stairs. If you have to boomerang, you can get the Mirror Shield by throwing
it diagonally at the crystal switch, if not, get it like it says later in the
walkthrough.
Continue up and you'll see a ball on a platform and some blocks moving together
quickly. Pick up the ball and throw it by the blocks. Walk over to the lever
and pull it all the way down to make the blocks separate. Quickly dash over to
the ball, pick it up, and go in between the 2 blocks. Continue left. Hit the
giant pillar with the ball and it'll crumble. Pick up the ball and throw it over
the blocks on the left side of the screen. Jump sideways over the pit and go
down. If you fall, make your way back to this screen and try again.
Go to the left side of the screen and walk up to get the ball back. Pick it up
and go down again. Throw it at the pillar to make it crumble. Heave it up from
where you last threw it (if it ever falls down a hole, it'll return to it's original
screen) and continue down. Throw it over the small square border around the crystal
switch so it's on the other side of the screen. Hit the crystal switch and go
up. Go to the upper right of the screen and go up a screen. Fall down the pit
purposely and you'll fall to the first floor.
From where you landed, ignore the crystal switch and go left following the crystals
that are down (the blocks, I call them crystals, hence the name, crystal switch).
Follow the path and you'll be on a screen with many crystals (blocks) in a pattern.
Follow to the right and you'll see 2 traps and a Gibdos. Dodge them and go down.
Head up into the first door you unlocked and up the stairs.
Open the chest for the Mirror Shield(if you didn't already)and hit the crystal
switch so you're standing on upraised crystals(blocks). Go down. Head to the
left, ignoring the block with a keyhole. On this screen, you'll find the ball.
Pick it up and continue left. This screen hold Three-of-a-Kind. Defeat them
and a chest will appear out of reach. Throw the ball over the small square border
so it goes over the pit and onto the upper right side of the screen. Continue
left.
Defeat the Hinox in this room for a key. Use your Boomerang or, if you don't
have it, your Hookshot. If you fall down a pit, you will have to defeat the card
symbol enemies again(not to mention getting back to where you were). Continue
up and go into the door shaped like a body. Defend yourself in the bottom right
corner of this room and the tiles will break on your shield. Once they're all
gone, head right. Bomb the wall in between the two lanterns on the bottom wall
on this screen.
Walk into the new passage and go down. Continue down again and you'll be on the
screen where you defeated the Three-of-a-Kind. Hookshot to the chest to make
it over the chasm and get the bomb inside the chest. Grab the ball and head up.
Destroy the pillar and pick the ball up again. Go down and throw it over the
chasm to put in on the side of the screen where the enemies were. Fall down the
pit and you'll land on the level's starting screen. Go right 2 screens and up
where you unlocked your first door. Go up the staircase.
Go down a screen and left 2 screens. Recover the ball and walk left and up.
Enter the body-shaped door and toss the orb safely in the corner, away from all
tiles. Pick a corner and defend yourself from the tiles with your shield. After
they're all gone, pick up the ball and go right. Chuck it at the final pillar
to see the tower's 4th floor crumble into the 3rd. The entrance to the 3rd floor
is the staircase a screen right from the Three-of-a-Kind were destroyed (where
you made the chest with the bomb appear).
Trek over to that screen and walk up the steps. Continue up and right. Defeat
the mini-boss by killing all of the bats that fly at you. You must defeat all
6 successfully to defeat it. Go up after it left and push the two blocks in the
middle of the room together to make a chest appear that contains the Nightmare
Key. Return to the mini-boss's room and go left 2 screens.
Unlock the Nightmare Door and go up. Walk up to the upraised platform and hookshot
onto the block. Go down, jumping on the Goombas if you need life. Continue right
and up the stairs. Walk up the ladder and defeat the Evil Eagle by hitting him
with the hookshot in its head. When it blows feathers at you, defend with the
shield. If you get blown off, you'll have to restart the battle. After the Evil
Eagle is vanquished, return to the screen with the staircase leading to the tower's
top and jump off to the right. Go into the door and claim the Organ of Evening
Calm!

| QUEST FOR TURTLE ROCK |
*------------------------------------------------------------------------*
OBJECTIVES
==========
-Rescue Marin from a bridge
-Awaken Turtle Rock and destroy the head
TAL TAL MOUNTAIN RANGE
**********************
One last dungeon to go! Don't quit! When you exit the tower, leap off on the
right side. Go right a screen and enter the cave. After exiting on the other
side of the cave, walk down the stairs and kill the Gohma. Continue left and
enter the cave. Ignore or kill the enemies in this cave and make your way to
the exit. You'll emerge in shallow water. Go left and swim to the staircase.
Climb it up and walk left 2 screens. Head up and enter the house.
You'll see that the Hen House guy is taking good care of your flying rooster,
so exit his house and go left. Hookshot across the broken bridge and continue
left. Marin will yell at you from a precarious part of the bridge. Hookshot
across and you'll pick her up. Tarin will interrupt your little love scene and
Marin will walk off. Once more, Kaepora will decide to flap his way over to you
and hoot more riddles out. After the pathetic mouse hunter flies away, continue
left.
Slash the bush to reveal a staircase. Enter the underground passage and go left.
Hop down to the stairs. After going through them, go left and hookshot across
the long pit. Head left and exit the cave. You'll emerge on a screen that doesn't
have much space to walk. Leap down off the mountain. After destroying the enemies,
bomb the cave open. Enter the new passageway and block the flames from the
flamethrower with your new Mirror Shield. Exit the cave.
You will be on the opposite side of where you leapt off to the bottom cave. Head
left and down. Kill the Leevers and other enemies and go left. Fend yourself
off from the Ravens and take some time to look at your surroundings. The head
of Turtle Rock blocks the entrance...if only you could awaken the head...Yes!
The Frog's Song of Soul!
Equip your Ocarina and play the song. The head will revive from its stony slumber
and will attack! Equip your sword and give it a taste of metal. After a few
slashes, it'll self-destruct, opening the way to level 8 for you! Enter the level!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, You go up and defeat the Vire. Go through the left door and defeat all
of the snakes. Continue up and defeat the Hinox, preferably with the Hookshot
or Boomerang. After defeating it, move left and push the rock to make a bridge
to the bottom part of the screen. Walk down and hop over the pits. Open the
chest for a key. Head left and defeat Rolling Bones. Walk up and defeat the
Vire for a key. Walk down two screens and open the chest. Fall into the Vortex
purposely to warp you back to the beginning.
Go up 2 screens from the beginning and go right. Push the rock to make a path
to the bottom right (not the stairs). Walk right and poke the wall on the right
until you find the part you can bomb (it tings when you found it). Bomb it and
enter. Hit the crystal switch and bomb the cracked wall on the south side of
the room. Push the rock to clear all of the pits, rewarding you with a key (keep
trying, don't give up!). Head back left and avoid the chest, there's a Gel inside.
Continue left two screens and you'll be back in the familiar room with a Vire.
Go up again and right. Push the rock in between the two blocks that stick out
into the lava. Walk to them and push the one on your right into the lava. Go
into the passageway revealed. Unlock the block with a key and head left. Use
a missile (equip the bombs and the bow and press A and B together) on the wall
behind the lava. Enter the new room and bomb the left wall where it's cracked.
Go into this doorway and shoot the statue in the eye with an arrow for a key.
Continue up and enter the stairway to exit the level. You'll emerge outside
on the Tal Tal Mountains. Pick up the Piece of Heart and go right to discover
a new warp hole. Warp away if you need hearts, but if you don't, go right and
enter the door.
Defeat the Dodongos by throwing bombs down from your perch high above them. Once
they're defeated, open the chest (key). Go right and defeat the two Gibdos for
a key. Head left 4 screens(unlock the door on your way) and walk down and right
to be in the dark room you used a missile to get into. Unlock the block in this
room and continue right. Hookshot across the chasm and unlock the block. Continue
down the stairs.
Jump to the moving platform avoiding the Podoboos and make it to the other side
of the screen. Go right and jump from platform to platform to find the exit.
Climb up the ladder. Go down as soon as you exit the passage and do battle with
Boxin' Blaino. Charge up your sword and when it's standing still, punching air,
let 'er rip! If you have the L:2 sword and the Red Tunic, one hit from a charged
up sword makes Blaino throw his towel in. If not, keep hitting Blaino while avoiding
its punches. If you get hit, you're punched all the way to the start of the level!
After its defeat, walk up and get the Magic Rod from the chest. Sometimes you'll
have to trek back to the crystal switch( I don't know why it resets itself...take
advantage of the warp that gets created when you defeat a mini boss if it does
reset). After the Magic Rod is in your arsenal, go back to the start of the
level(Manbo's Mambo or mini-boss' warp).
Go up and defeat the bat(use the Magic Rod for a one-hit KO). Walk up again and
to the right. Push the rock to make a pathway to the staircase. Go down it.
Burn all of the ice and go to the left. Make a staircase out of the ice by jumping
and using the fire rod while in the air. Exit down the ladder. Unlock the door
on your left and defeat Cue Ball. It may appear harder, but this mini-boss is
still a piece of cake.
Go up and push the rocks so it fill all of the holes. Open the chest that appears
when you complete this task (Nightmare Key). Head back to start (again! Manbo's
Mambo - your new best friend). Continue up a screen and defeat the bat (hmm...I
swear I've heard that somewhere). Head up and right. Push the rock to the lower
right path (not the stairs) and go right. Walk up the stairs.
Melt all of the ice and jump into the small exit hole. Make a staircase out of
the ice in this screen and go down the ladder. Unlock the Nightmare door and
defeat Hot Head. To defeat Hot Head, simply use your fire rod on it until he's
dead. Watch out for it's fireballs, they do major damage. After a load of hits,
it will crack and turn into a weird smoggy head. After a few more hit, you'll
be rewarded with a Heart Container. Go up and claim the Thunder Drum!
*------------------------------------------------------------------------*
| QUEST FOR THE WIND FISH'S EGG |
*------------------------------------------------------------------------*
OBJECTIVES
==========
-Read 'Dark Secrets and Mysteries of Koholint'
-Get every Heart Piece (optional)
-Acquire the L:2 sword (optional)
-Play the Sirens' Instruments in front of the egg
MABE VILLAGE
************
At this point, you should have all the instruments. Now use the Heart Piece and
Secret Seashell sections to boost your power to the max. You don't have to, but
you should, just to make yourself even harder to defeat. Yu may already have
everything, but anyway, to continue, you have a choice. Either re-enter L:8 and
walk to the warp hole on top of the level, or walk back to Mabe Village (using
Manbo's Mambo). Whatever you decide to do, get back to Mabe. Walk over to the
library.
Enter it and read the book titled 'Dark Secrets and Mysteries of Koholint'. Since
you have the Magnifying Lens, you can now read the text. It will tell you the
route through the Egg's passageways. It will be one of the following-
1)right, up, up, right, up, up, right, up
2)left, left, up, right, right, up, left, up
3)left, up, right, up, left, up, right, up
4)left, left, left, left, up, up, up, up
5)right, right, right, right, up, up, up, up
You'll find that passageway to be the way to the Wind Fish. You may just want
to skip the trek and just try out all 5 sequences until you find the right one.
Whatever you do, go back to Bowwow's Dungeon (the screen with the entrance).
MOUNT TAMARANCH
"""""""""""""""
From the screen with the entrance to Bowwow's dungeon on it, go up a screen and
lift the 2 stones in your path. Go right and up the staircase. The vicious owl
will fly down and do the same as always (blah, blah, blah...) Until it flies away.
Go up and you'll see the Wind Fish's Egg. Whip out your ocarina and play the
Ballad of the Wind Fish. Your accomplishments will form a circle around the egg
and cause it to burst open. Enter after hearing Kaepora (again?!).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apart from having the longest dungeon name, the Wind Fish's Egg has weird music.
It starts pitch black. Explore bit and you'll fall down to the room below.
If you go down in this plain room, you'll exit the level, and if you try going
up, left, or right, you'll be on the same screen. Walk through the egg in the
sequence you read from the library's book and you'll find a different screen.
Hop down into the pit. You'll land on the boss of all the Nightmares - the Shadow
Nightmare! It'll tell you of its plans to make the Wind Fish sleep endlessly.
Put a stop to their destruction! The first form of the final boss is a simple
blob. When it hops at you, sprinkle Magic Powder on it. If it disappears, stand
on the fish in the middle of the room for a safe standing place. Sprinkle it
when it reappears. After a few hits it becomes...
Agahnim! This wizard from Link to the Past charges up a shot and tries to hit
you with it. When the shot is round, hit it with your sword back into the wizard's
face. If it's shaped like an Anti-Faerie, jump over it - it splits into fireballs
on the wall. After a shot, the shadow will shift to a new position and try hitting
you again. If you have the shovel, it reflects shots better. After a few hits
it becomes...
A Moldorm! Dispose of this Moldorm like you did with the first level's boss -
hit the final segment in its tail. After a hit, it will madly charge about the
room. I suggest getting a shield ready to defend against this fast foe. It takes
a lot of hits, but after awhile, it turns into...
Ganon! Nooo! This is the main boss from just about every Zelda game. Equip
your Pegasus Boots and your sword and dash at it. When it starts to swing its
axe, fall back and jump across the room to avoid the fire bats. After all of
the bats are gone, Ganon throws his axe at you. Jump it and get ready for another
attack. Continue until it perishes, revealing...
A Gloworm! This is a new enemy to the Zelda series, but wins the title for 'Easiest
Kill'. Hit it once with the Hookshot or Magic Rod and it's through. If you want
a challenge, use bombs. After the easy ball of shadow is dead, it turns into
the final form...
Deathl! This Nightmare comes equipped with 2 maces for arms, good weapons to
try to swat at the Hero. Use your feather to jump the arms and shoot Deathl in
the eye with arrows until it closes it's lid. Defend against the arms, shoot.
Repeat. If you're looking for an easy way out, hit it in the eye with the Boomerang.
2-3 hits kills it, but that doesn't deserve an ending! Use the bow to actually
earn your ending. After a load of arrows, a strange staircase appears after the
Shadows are eliminated...
Congrats! You beat the best game for Game Boy! Enjoy the ending!

First of all, there is no quest for L:O, the DX Game Boy Color exclusive Color
Dungeon. All you must do is go to the graveyard. Keep in mind that you can enter
anytime after you beat L:2 - Bottle Grotto. Whenever you feel ready for a challenge,
head over towards the graveyard. Go to the southeast corner of it. You'll be
on a screen with 5 gravestones on it.
In order to enter, though, you must've beaten the Nightmare for every dungeon
you set foot into. If you haven't, the stones won't open the way to the level.
Anyway, when you just beat whatever level you came from, go to the screen listed
above and push the gravestones as the chart shows below. The number on each shows
the order you push the stones in, and the letter (U, D, R, L) shows the direction
to push it (U=up, D=down, L=left, R=right).
_ _ _
/3\ /4\ /5\
|U| |R| |U|
_ _
/2\ /1\
|L| |D|
When pushed correctly, a staircase is found under gravestone #5. That leads to
the Color Dungeon, but you can only get into the main dungeon with a Game Boy
Color or Game Boy Advance. A regular Game Boy, a Game Boy Pocket, or a Super
Game Boy all give you a message telling you that you need the power of color,
so in other words, you can't enter. Anyway, onto the dungeon walkthrough!

Talk to the skeletons and tell them their colors. The way up will be open now,
so go up. Defeat the enemies on this screen by luring them out to attack. When
they lunge upwards, rush in with your sword. The right door will open when they're
gone. Go right. Hit the upper left red statue, then hit the bottom right red
statue. A chest will appear. Open it for the compass and continue right. Hop
across the colored tiles to the right. The tiles will turn into different colors,
green has 3 more hops, yellow has 2, and red has 1. After a tile loses it hopping
power, it becomes a regular pit.
Knowing that, hop right a screen and hit the enemies with your sword. They will
curl up into a ball. Pick one of them up and throw it into its matching colored
hole. After both are in their holes, a chest with the Stone Beak will appear.
You may need practice throwing them first, so keep trying. Open the chest and
head south. Defeat all of the enemies and the doors will open. Go left and hop
across to tiles to the chest. Ignore the enemy - chances are it'll hop into a
pit itself. Get the small key from inside the chest.
Go up and you'll be back in the room where you first saw the hopping tiles.
Continue right and up. Hop across the tiles and walk north. Hit the bottom right
statue, then hit the upper left statue 2 times. The statues will all be blue
and a key will fall. Grab it and head right. Unlock the door (it's best to defeat
the enemies first). Continue up and defeat the Giant Buzz Blob. Sprinkle Magic
Powder on it and it'll turn into a blob. Hit it with your sword as many times
as you can before it turns into the banana shape again. Watch out for the lightning
it shoots! Repeat the process until the monster is defeated.
Walk left and push the top and bottom block to the left. Push the middle block
down or up. Open the chest for the Nightmare Key. Save and Quit (walking to
the start or playing Manbo's Mambo work too). Go up and defeat all of the enemies
on the screen for the right door to open. Walk right 2 screens and unlock the
door. Head north and defeat the Sub-Boss by hitting it with your sword repeatedly.
Every hit you get will send you falling a bit behind, so make sure you're at
an angle that doesn't let you crash into any spikes. After a hit, it'll jump
up and slam the ground, causing many boulders to fall. Jump before he hits the
ground or you'll be stunned for a short time. Dodge the falling boulders and
hit it again. Repeat until he turns into a faerie.
Go left and hop across the tiles to the northern door. Walk up and defeat the
Gels. A chest will appear, open it for the map and go right. Hit and throw the
enemies into their matching holes. After they are all in their holes, you'll
get a small key. Backtrack left and down. Walk left and hit the statues to turn
them all blue. Use the below diagram for an easy 4-hit solution. An O means
that the statue is blue, and an 8 means that the statue is red. An X is used
to show which statue you should hit next.
Formation 1-- O X O
8 O 8
O 8 O
Formation 2-- 8 O 8
8 8 8

Formation 3-- 8 O 8

Formation 5-- O O O

They will all be blue. The doors will open, so go up. Unlock the door and continue
left. Hit the crystal switch and walk to the Nightmare Door. Unlock it and defeat
Turtalfos. Hitting him with your sword will do a bit of damage, but it will also
hit you back a bit. I suggest jumping at it continuously. Try to get it into
a corner. Repeatedly hit it with your sword to make it turn colors (from blue
to yellow to red). After it's completely red, it'll blow up and the doors will
open.
Go right and talk to the faerie. She'll give you a new tunic. Pick red if you
want more offense, blue if you want more defense. The tunics' changes are like
the game's power-ups - the Red Tunic is like a permanent Piece of Power, and the
Blue Tunic is like a permanent Guardian Acorn. Whenever you want to change tunics,
go back to the faerie and she'll give you another choice. Congrats! You beat
the Color Dungeon!

*------------------------------------------------------------------------*
| PREFACE TO MAP SECTIONS |
*------------------------------------------------------------------------*
In this guide for map sections, There are 6 different pieces of information for
each map area. They are Screens, Info, Shop, PoI, Enemies, and Items. You'll
have to learn how to use this section to fully benefit from it. I'll explain
each section and what you'll find in it.
For Screens, use the coordinate system as explained in the Walkthrough's Preface.
The section shows what coordinates each part of the map contains. So, if a place
takes up screens A:1-5 ; B:1-5 ; C:1-3 , then the map section is composed of every
coordinate in between, read as the following - A:1-5 = A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4, A-5.
Use the numbers with your map to divide the parts of Koholint.
The Info section has a small description of the area's physical looks. If you're
not too sure what to expect, look here for a brief report on the surroundings.
The Shop section is found only in Mabe Village. It tells you what is sold at
the local store. The prices are given as well as when the item appears in the
shop. Visit the shop when you need to restock or to buy a new weapon, but be
sure to bring enough rupees!
PoI, or Places of Interest for short, is a section to show you important places
in your quest. Most of these places are vital to game completion. Some are
interesting, too, but all of them deserve a good look at! The map coordinates
are listed for easy identification.
Enemies are listed in the Enemies section (where else?). Every enemy in the area
is listed under this category. If you need help identifying them or need a battle
technique, look at the Enemies section later in this FAQ/Walkthrough. Looking
at a new place's enemies and learning their weak points is always a good idea
before confronting them. Any enemies found in caves in an area are not listed
here, these are just outside enemies.
Finally, the Items are places in an appropriate place - the Items Section. If
you see an item you don't know how to get, look in this FAQ/Walkthrough for the
specific location. If it's a Secret Seashell, Heart Piece, Photo, or Trading
Item, look in their corresponding sections. If it's an item to be equipped, look
in the Items section. Any items with OC and a number are Ocarina Songs. The
number is the Ocarina Song's number. If an item has TR and a number by it, it's
part of the Trading Sequence. The number shows what trade number it is. If an
area has a shop or dungeon, the items found within will not be listed here.

oO[TREASURE CHESTS]Oo
o---------------o
*------------------------------------------------------------------------*
| PREFACE OF TREASURE CHESTS |
*------------------------------------------------------------------------*
As in this entire guide, the coordinate system is explained in the Walkthrough's
Preface. The Coordinates are listed in the CO column. After looking to see what
you'll get from the Item Column, find the coordinates of the screen. For a general
idea, look at the Place Column (it tells you what part of Koholint the screen
is located). After going to the correct screen, use the directions in the
Description Column, but first make sure you have the items needed (look in the
Items Needed Column!).
A few exceptions, any items needed to get to the screen a chest is on are NOT
listed. If you can't get to the screen, then I guess you don't have all the items
needed, now do you? Getting to the screens calls for self-exploration, and usually
isn't hard to do. Now, in the Item Column, here's the translations for the items
-
20 - 20 Rupees
50 - 50 Rupees
100 - 100 Rupees
200 - 200 Rupees
G - Gel
P - Potion
SS - Secret Seashell
B - Bomb
If you need help on the Items Needed Column, here's a key to show you the abbreviation.
Any other items are used, but not abbreviated.
Feather - Roc's Feather
Bracelet - Power Bracelet
Boots - Pegasus Boots
Rod - Magic Rod
Powder - Magic Powder
A few last tips - If you notice that an item is inside a dungeon, descriptions
won't be given on finding it. Use your Map and Compass to locate all the chests
in dungeons (thus, self-exploration comes in). When you see a line of asterisks
(***), the Place Section will change (for easy order). Alrighty, ready then?

| PREFACE TO SPECIAL PLACES |
*------------------------------------------------------------------------*
Using this chart will help you find many hidden things on Koholint. But, in order
to benefit from it, you must understand the symbols or abbreviations first. So,
to help you, this Preface is here to tell you how to read it. :) Now, on the
chart there are 3 different columns - Item, CO, and Description. Item shows the
item you'll get when you explore the area. How do you find the screen to get
the item? Look in the CO column (CO stands for Coordinate). Then, to find the
desired item, follow the instructions in the Description.
If you need help decoding the coordinate system, look in the Walkthrough's Preface.
Now, the items needed are not listed, so getting to the screen of the item you
want is up to you. Basically, when the chart says to ram something, you'll need
Pegasus Boots, and when it tells you to bomb something, use bombs.
Here's some tips about the treasures you'll find - Tree Items, Great Faeries,
and Mad Batters. There are only 2 different tree items (apart from Secret Seashells,
which are in their section of this guide, not here), and they are faeries and
bombs. When you acquire a tree item, it won't reappear for awhile. Great Faeries,
however, will appear any time you are in need of hearts. The Mad Batter can be
called upon in 3 places, but after used in a place, it's gone and won't return.
The Mad Batter upgrades any of your limited use items. It will allow you to carry
double Magic Powder, Arrows, or Bombs. Be sure to own the item when you get the
upgrade! If you do, you get a free refill! To call upon Mad Batter, enter one
of it's caves mentioned and sprinkle Magic Powder into it's well. You can visit
the caves in any order and can receive all your upgrades in any order as well.
Ok, now that everything's explained, here's the chart!
o==========================================================================o
| Item | CO | Description |
o==========================================================================o
| Tree - Bombs | B-10 | Ram the lone upper tree. |
o--------------------------------------------------------------------------o

| PREFACE TO ENEMIES |
@==========================================================================@
Yeah! Every other section has one, this one does, too! A Preface! So, you want
to learn about the enemies, do you? Great! A good strategy is to know what's
in store, so this section tells you everything you need to know about enemies
and their weaknesses! To start, here's what you'll find for each enemy.
NAME
----
Found - Physical area(s) where the monster is found.
Desc. - A small description to identify the enemy.
Tips - Some info for easier disposal of the enemy.
Prefer - The item preferred by me and how many hits it takes by the item to
destroy the enemy. You can test other weapons if you like. Use
whatever weapon you feel like. NOTE - Sword HP can be confusing.
If the sword is used as the choice weapon by me, the HP is in L:1 sword
hits. A Whirling Blade Technique does 2 HP, as well as a hit from
the L:2 sword. A L:2 sword Whirling Blade Technique does 4 HP
damage.
Damage - How much damage an enemy does to you if you get hit by it.
Okay, so that's the basics. Here are a few exceptions, though : High-powered
weapons like the Magic Rod or the Boomerang can defeat just about anything, so
I probably won't list them as choice weapons. Most likely the weapon will be
your trusty blade, but there are a few exceptions. First in the list are Overworld
enemies, with Underworld enemies following them. Traps are last. Note that some
enemies may be in both the Overworld and Underworld, but are listed under only
one category. I listed any enemies like that in the section where they're most
abundant. Got it? Great, let's start!

| PREFACE TO BOSSES |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
There are many bosses on Koholint, and you have to beat them all! In this section,
you'll learn about their attacks, their weaknesses, and their locations! Each
boss has the same info - Locale (lacation), Attack (the boss's attacks), Techn.
(Techniques to beat it), and Equip (what to have equipped to beat it). The Equip
section is mostly strict, but sometimes you can change the weapons to suit you.
Otherwise, destroy them as listed.
Mini-Bosses may be present in two or more dungeons. You know that there's only
one true mini-boss for each level, so look at the Locale section. The first dungeon
listed is the dungeon that it is the 'official' mini-boss for. Let's get started!
_______________
_/ -MINI-BOSSES- \_
-------------------
*************
ROLLING BONES
*************
Locale - L:1, L:8
Attack - It rolls a huge spiked log at you. It also hops around to the other
side before rolling it again.
Techn. - Jump over the log and hit it with the sword while it jumps to the
other side.
Equip - Sword and Roc's Feather
"""""""""""
MOBLIN KING
"""""""""""
Locale - Bowwow Dungeon
Attack - It shoots arrows, then charges at you.
Techn. - Block the arrows with your shield and move out of the way when it
charges. It'll smack into the wall, stunning itself. Attack with
your sword then.
Equip - Sword and Shield
^^^^^
HINOX
^^^^^
Locale - L:2, L:7, L:8
Attack - It throws bombs when hit. If it's not hit for awhile, it charges at
you, picks you up, and throws you.
Techn. - Attack with your sword swiftly and skillfully. If you get thrown,
watch out for cracks in the floor or pits!
Equip - Sword
==========
MAD BOMBER
==========
Locale - Outside Kanalet Castle
Attack - It pops out of holes and throws bombs at you.
Techn. - Stay near the bottom 2 pits and hit it when it appears near you. If
it throws a bomb from higher up, move to avoid it. You may get two
hits in if you attack fast enough.
Equip - Sword
----------------------
BALL AND CHAIN TROOPER
----------------------
Locale - Kanalet Castle
Attack - It attacks with a mace.
Techn. - Hit it while it swings it's mace. Use your shield to block the
attack after it slings it at you.
Equip - Sword and Shield
**************
DODONGO SNAKES
**************
Locale - L:3, L:6, L:8
Attack - They just move around...
Techn. - Place a bomb in front of it. It'll eat the bomb and explode. While
exploding, you can't get hurt by it, so place a bomb in front of it
again to get a combo. You can also throw bombs into their mouths.
It always has a partner...
Equip - Bombs
"""""""
LANMOLA
"""""""
Locale - Yarna Desert
Attack - It leaps from the sand into the air.
Techn. - Hit it's head when it flies out from the ground.
Equip - Sword
^^^^^^^^
CUE BALL
^^^^^^^^
Locale - L:4, L:8
Attack - It dashes around the room.
Techn. - Jump over it when it comes your way and slash it's back. It spins
around and comes at you after a hit, so jump it again for an extra
hit or two.
Equip - Sword and Roc's Feather
======
GOHMAS
======
Locale - L:5
Attack - They (there's 2) walk sideways around the room. They can lunge
forward when you're near and open their eyes to shoot a fireball.
Techn. - Hold out your shield to block any lunges. When one stops, get your
Hookshot or Bow ready - it's going to open an eye. Watch for the
fireball it shoots and attack the eye. After killing one, you get
a recovery heart (great?).
Equip - Shield and Hookshot
------------
ARMOS KNIGHT
------------
Locale - Face Shrine
Attack - It hops around and leaps in the air. After a leap, it crashes to the
ground, paralyzing anything that's on it.
Techn. - Jump whenever it slams on the ground or you'll be stunned. Attack it
with the Bow or, if you run out or want a challenge, the Whirling
Blade Technique. I believe the L:2 sword can hurt it with just a
normal blow, but don't scream at me if I'm wrong. ^_^ After a few
hits, it loses it's shield. When it's life is VERY low, it loses
it's armor (and Nintendo rated this E? ^_^ ).
Equip - Bow and Roc's Feather
*******
SMASHER
*******
Locale - L:6, L:8
Attack - It throws a ball at you.

formation will be constructed and you'll have to defeat all 6 again.
Equip - Sword (Shield for defense if you want)
^^^^^^^^^^^
TURTLE ROCK
^^^^^^^^^^^
Locale - Tal Tal Mountain Range
Attack - It sways it's head and occasionally lunges forward.
Techn. - It's a fact that Turtles hate the taste of metal. give it a taste of
your sword! It's rather easy - just continuously slash at it's
mouth.
Equip - Sword
======
BLAINO
======
Locale - L:8
Attack - It throws punches and occasionally combos.
Techn. - Be very careful when fighting it! A hit from a punch could stun you.
Once stunned, it charges up before hitting back to the beginning of
the level! Instead of risking it, Use the Whirling Blade Technique
when it stops in an attempt to hit you.
Equip - Sword and Roc's Feather (defense)
---------------

---------------
Locale - L:0
Attack - It shoots electricity around the room.

_/ -DUNGEON BOSSES- \_

MOLDORM
*******
Locale - L:1
Attack - It tries to swat you into an abyss.
Techn. - Don't fall or you'll have to start the battle over again (and the
Moldorm regain any health lost). It speeds up after an attack, but
slows down after awhile. After the third hit, it won't stop
speeding up, though. Just use the Whirling Blade Technique twice.
Equip - Sword and Roc's Feather
"""""
GENIE
"""""
Locale - L:2
Attack - 1st Stage: It throws fireballs at you, then comes after you in it's
pot. 2nd Stage: It throws copies around the room after a hit (they
don't hurt you), then reappears within the circle that they flew in.
Techn. - Jump around the room to avoid the fire. When the Genie goes into
it's pot, hit it with your sword. Pick it up and throw it against
the wall. Repeat that 2 more times and the pot breaks. Hit it with
your sword and it throws two decoys around the room in a circle.
When it reappears, it throws a fireball, so be ready with Roc's
Feather. Keep attacking until dead.
Equip - Sword, Power Bracelet, and Roc's Feather
^^^^^^^^^^
SLIME EYES
^^^^^^^^^^
Locale - L:3
Attack - When stuck to the ceiling, it shoots Gels down constantly. On the
ground as a whole, it just sits there...When split, the separate eyes
hop around the room. when hit, an eye flies high in the air and
crashes to the ground. You get stunned if you're on the ground when
it makes contact.
Techn. - Ram into the wall to make the eyes fall. At first, they're
connected. Hit them continuously with your sword until they're
hanging together by a thread. Charge into them with your Pegasus
Boots to separate them. When separated, hit each of the eyes with
your sword. After a hit, watch for an eye's shadow and jump when
it falls or you'll be paralyzed for a short time.
Equip - Pegasus Boots, Sword, Roc's Feather
===========
ANGLER FISH
===========
Locale - L:4
Attack - It swim around. After awhile, it stops and slams into the left wall.
Bricks occasionally fall when the wall is hit. Angler Fry also come
out during the battle for a few more enemy targets.
Techn. - Keep slashing at it's face. If you continuously slash as fast as you
can, you can kill it before it makes even one attack.
Equip - Sword (Roc's Feather for defense)
---------
SLIME EEL
---------
Locale - L:5
Attack - It whips it's tail around the room during the battle. It pops it's
head out of one of 4 holes. When pulled out, it either extends it's
neck or sends out a dummy. The dummy looks like a Moldorm which
explodes after running around the room for a short time.
Techn. - Stay on one side of the room. Stand in a corner to avoid the tail.
When the tail is clear and you see the Eel's head pop out near you,
Shoot your Hookshot into it's mouth. If it's neck extends outward,
slash at the hearts in the neck. The farther back you hook it, the
longer it's neck extends. For some reason, the L:2 sword doesn't
seem to affect it - It has the same HP as it does for the L:1 sword.
Equip - Sword, Hookshot (Roc's Feather for defense)
******
FACADE
******
Locale - L:6
Attack - It makes pots and tiles fly at you. After all the throwable items
are gone, it creates holes in the ground that appear and disappear.
Techn. - Place bombs on it's face. When the bomb explodes, it'll get hurt.
You can block the tiles shot at you with your shield, but you can't
block the pots. If you want, pick up the pots and break them when
you first enter the room. Keep bombing it's face. The holes it uses
for attacks aren't hard to miss, either.
Equip - Bombs and Shield (Roc's Feather maybe for defense)
""""""""""
EVIL EAGLE
""""""""""
Locale - L:7
Attack - It flies around the screen in an attempt to swat you off. It also
blows wind and feathers at you. It can also pull a 'Storm Eagle' and
try to dive at you from above. If you fall off the tower at any
time, you'll have to start the battle over (and the Evil Eagle
regains any lost HP).
Techn. - When it flies across the sky, Hookshot it's head. If it blows
Feathers at you, block the wind and feathers with the Mirror Shield.
Be sure to push against the wind so you don't fall! Stay near the
middle of the tower so you don't get caught off-guard. If it tries
to dive at you, get your sword out. When it falls, slash and you'll
probably hit it. For an easy way to kill it, use missiles (Bombs and
Arrows together), but unless you want to take all the fun out, use
that trick only if you're low on life.
Equip - Mirror Shield, Hookshot, Sword
^^^^^^^
HOTHEAD
^^^^^^^
Locale - L:8
Attack - It hops out of the lava and goes back in. The fireballs it shoots
upon entering the lava hurt you a lot! When hit, it bounces around
the room for awhile until it falls back into the lava.
Techn. - Shoot your Magic Rod at it. When it bounces across the room, keep
firing! After a load of hits, it splits it's fiery skin to reveal a
weird creature. Keep firing and it'll die. Use Roc's Feather to
jump any attacks that come close.
Equip - Magic Rod, Roc's Feather
=========
TURTALFOS
=========
Locale - L:0
Attack - It shoots beams and occasionally brings Stalfos down on you.
Techn. - Continuously hit it to make it turn colors. Blue means full health,
Yellow means half, and Red means barely any. Jump at it or get it
cornered for a quick end.

**********
Locale - Wind Fish's Egg

""""""""""""""
SHADOW AGAHNIM
""""""""""""""
Locale - Wind Fish's Egg

Anti-Faerie splits into 4 fireballs when it makes contact with
something. After a shot, it teleports to another place in the room.
Techn. - Hit the round shots back at it. If you have the Shovel, it reflects
shots better. When a weird-shaped beam is thrown, jump over it.

the Boomerang for an easy kill.
Equip - Bow and Roc's Feather

| PREFACE TO TRADING SEQUENCE |
\--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
The trading sequence is a big part of the game. At the end, the entire process
is more than worth it. But, to learn about the barters, you must be able to read
the chart. The 4 columns tell different info on how to get the item you need
next. First, find the item you need next. Look at what you have, then go to
the item below it. That is the item you trade whatever you have now to get.
EX - I have the Dog Food. I see 'Dog Food' on the chart, so I look at the item
below, which is 'Bananas'. I look at the info on the bananas and go to the screen
they're located on. I then follow the Description to get my bananas.
Now, the columns are Item G, Item R, CO, LV, and Description. The Item G column
tell you what item you're giving to get the next item in the sequence, which is
Item R. CO tells you the coordinates of the screen to find the new item (explained
in the preface of the walkthrough). LV is what level you're going to next, so
if you're on the quest for level 1, this column would read '1' (if there are more
numbers, you can get that item any time between those quests). The Description
tells you what you need to do on the screen to get the next item.
*-Grandma Ulrira's location determines what level you beat, so check both
places to find her.
Item G | Item R | CO | LV | Description

| PREFACE TO PHOTOS |
%==========================================================================%
There are 12 total photos on Koholint Island. Using a Game Boy Printer, you can
print these photos out and stick them to whatever you like. But, you must find
them first to print them! This preface is here to explain how to read the
instructions below, not to talk of printing, so...
Each Photo will look like this -
EX)KADARI ISLE
--------------
Found - T-26
Photo - Link discovers the Ancient Pyramid.
Desc. - Approach L:13 - Ancient Pyramid.
Items - Mermaid Suit, Rock Rod
Just an example, don't go looking for that fake place. ^_^ The Photos are in
the order that they are in your album. The coordinates listed are described in
the preface of the walkthrough (early in this guide). The Photo section tells
you what the photo looks like. Desc. tells you how to get the photo. Items listed
in the Items section are used only to get the photo, not to get to the screen
the photo is taken on.
A few last things before you look below: There is a possibility of getting a
different first photo. You can only choose one, though both are listed as Photo
#1. On a last note, you cannot get ANY other photos unless you get Photo #1.

| PREFACE TO ENDING |
=--------------------------------------------------------------------------=
Ah, the game's ending. This is a major SPOILER!!!! Do NOT look unless you absolutely
must! There are 2 different ending - one for a regular game and one for a game
with 0 game overs. They're both discussed here. You can make up your own theory
on the rest of the story, I just put what happens in the end. The credits will
be put here sometime in the future as well, when Nintendo decides to send them
to me...
Oh, and by the by, insert whatever you called your character in for 'Link' whenever
you see it.
-_-__-_-
'*ENDING*'
'_-_--_-_'
After the defeat of the final Shadow Nightmare, Deathl, a strange staircase appears
in front of you. As you climb it, the stars are seen shining high in the sky
as you race to the top. Once the ladder stops, you find yourself on a floating
platform, high above Koholint Island. Just then, Kaepora flies down and greets
you.
"Hoot! Young lad, I mean...Link, the hero!" it hooted. "You have defeated the
Nightmares! You have proven your wisdom, courage and power! ... ... ... ... As
part of the Wind Fish's spirit, I am the guardian of his dream world... But one
day, the Nightmares entered the dream and began wreaking havoc.
"Then you, Link, came to rescue the island... I have always trusted in your courage
to turn back the Nightmares. Thank you Link ... My work is done ... The Wind
Fish will wake soon. Goodbye ... Hoot!" Then, without any warning, Kaepora
disappeared in the dark sky. A strange aura could be felt as a wavy being flowed
into the area. As it took the form of a whale, Link knew it to be the fabled
Wind Fish.
"... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... I AM THE WIND FISH..." it said so boldly that
it made Link feel strangely calm (and so boldly, it must be in all Caps!). "LONG
HAS BEEN MY SLUMBER... IN MY DREAMS... AN EGG APPEARED AND WAS SURROUNDED BY
AN ISLAND, WITH PEOPLE, ANIMALS, AN ENTIRE WORLD! ... ... ... ... BUT, VERILY,
IT BE THE NATURE OF DREAMS TO END!
"WHEN I DOST AWAKEN, KOHOLINT WILL BE GONE... ONLY THE MEMORY OF THIS DREAM LAND
WILL EXIST IN THE WAKING WORLD... SOMEDAY, THOU MAY RECALL THIS ISLAND... THAT
MEMORY MUST BE THE REAL DREAM WORLD... ... ... ... ... COME, LINK, LET US AWAKEN...
TOGETHER!!" And with that, the Wind Fish began to teleport once again. Now away
from sight, Link could hear the whale's voice in his head saying, "PLAY THE EIGHT
INSTRUMENTS! PLAY THE SONG OF AWAKENING!!"
Link held up his collection of Sirens' Instruments and played Marin's Song...the
Ballad of the Wind Fish! As past memories of the island flooded his mind, a rushing
sound of water was heard below. The island was disappearing! In a splash of
fury, Link was struck by a blast of water high into the starry night sky!
---
The sun was felt in the open ocean. Seagulls crowed as a hero clinging to a piece
of his ship opened his eyes for the first time in a while. Rubbing his face,
Link sat upright on the floating ship piece and stared into the sky. The morning
light shone bright upon his face as he remember her...Marin...and her song...
Then, blocking the sunlight was a whale-shaped figure! Link stared in awe and
couldn't help but smile! The Wind Fish, awake at last! Link watched as the whale
flew about high in the sky, calling out in joy that it recovered (he also watched
as thy credits hath been displayed :) ). As the fish flew playfully in the air,
Link began to lock up the memories of Koholint in his mind, and kept them there
for eternity, just as Marin had told him to...
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU BEAT THE GAME!
-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-
'*SPECIAL ENDING*'
'_-_-_-_--_-_-_-_'
The special ending is the same up to the final paragraph. After reading that
last paragraph, this last part of the story is reveiled...
Suddenly, a familiar song was heard, off in the distance. Link squinted to see
what was singing the oh-so familiar song. It was but a seagull, singing the Ballad
of the Wind Fish! Link remembered Marin's wish and then knew the Wind Fish's
true powers... Once more looking for the mythical being, it was nowhere in sight.
Sadly, Link turned to where the seagull was, but there were none in sight. Marin
had become the essence of a seagull and remained in Link's heart forever.

/__\/__\==============================================================/__\/__\
SECRET SAMBA!
*************
Name a character on the Character Selection Screen 'ZELDA' (all caps). A secret
song will play!
MORE SECRET MUSIC
"""""""""""""""""
When in Richard's Villa, listen to the song repeat about 7-10 times. By then,
a secret melody will play from Mario Paint! Which song? It's the little ditty
played when you click on the 'O' in the MARIO PAINT logo (after the bomb blows
up)!
CUCCO ATTACK
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Attack a chicken with your sword about 30 times. A whole flock will fly at you,
trying to kill you!
SAVE MONEY
==========
When your rupees are being deducted from a purchase of some kind, Save the game
and Quit. When you restart your file, you'll have the item you bought as well
as most of your rupees!
STEALING
--------
When you're at Mabe's Shop, grab an item you want and run around the store manager.
If you circled him enough, make a break for the door. You'll get outside with
the item for free! But, from then on in the game, you will be called 'THIEF'
(and you'll have a new picture!). Oh, and don't go back in the store or you'll
be hit with a Kamehameha beam (instant death).
SAVE YOUR LIFE
**************
Do you die a lot, but you want the Special Ending? When you're spinning in the
death sequence, press A, B, start and select to bring up the save screen (if you're
fast enough). Save and quit. When you restart your file, you'll be at the place
you died without a death!
MISSILES? THIS ISN'T METROID!
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Yep, you can create a missile, of sorts. Equip the Bombs and the Bow. Press
the A and B Buttons simultaneously to shoot a bomb on an arrow! It explodes upon
contact! Use for a long-range weapon or for means of exploding hard-to-reach
objects.
MARIN'S JOURNEY
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Other than getting 3 pictures, there are many things you can do with Marin following
you! Try breaking a pot. If you break a LOT of pots, you'll see Marin with an
attitude! Hit a chicken! Dig with the shovel! Play the Ocarina! Jump down
a well! Then there's the best - Take her into the Trendy Game!
POWDER...USEFUL AGAIN?
======================
There are many more things to do with Magic Powder other than waking a Mad Batter,
lighting torches, or moving racoons. Sprinkle some on bones in the desert! Put
some on the ghost's grave in Koholint Prairie! Sprinkle a bit on the trees by
Seashell Mansion! The funniest use is for Buzz Blobs - They become senseless
Cukemans! Talk to them for weird messages! Powder also changes the hard-to-beat
Gibdos into easier Stalfos!
MUSIC FOR THE SOUL?
-------------------
The ocarina has uses, too. If you play the Ballad of the Wind Fish, you can destroy
Pol's Voices easily! You can also make Gohmas open their eyes when you play it!
ATTRIBUTE ENHANCERS
********************
Ever wonder what makes those Pieces of Power or Guardian Acorns show up? Here's
an easy way to learn - For a Guardian Acorn, defeat 12 enemies. For a Piece of
Power, destroy 40-45 enemies.
SO THAT'S HOW MARIO SURVIVES...
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
If you jump on the Goombas in the game, you'll always get a small heart. Otherwise,
you usually get rupees.
BOOMERANG!!!
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Do you want the fabled Boomerang of power? If you have the Magnifying Lens, go
to Toronbo Shores. Look for a cave to bomb open. Inside, you'll see a 'once
invisible' Goriya, ready to strike a deal with you! Trade your shovel for it's
boomerang, the boomerang is much more useful than the shovel!
GOT LIFE?
=========
There are a few enemies that always seem to reward you with faeries. They are
Sparks, Anti-Faeries, and Zirros. Defeat one of these for a faerie! Zirros and
Anti-Faeries may not give you one right away, but Sparks are sure to give you
one! Hoarders can also give you one when you lift their disguises (but they barely
ever do).
ROOSTERANG
----------
If you have the Boomerang and the Flying Rooster, Do the following - Throw the
Boomerang and pick up the rooster. The Boomerang will fly beneath you, destroying
any enemies in your path!
HOLE SENSING
************
As you know from the Pothole Field, some bushes may have holes beneath them.
If you tug at a bush and it doesn't lift, there's a pit below. Use this trick
for an easy way through the field of Potholes.
THREE-OF-AN-ITEM
""""""""""""""""
When in battle with the Three-of-a-Kind enemies, try to match them as all diamonds.
You get 3 rupees as a reward! If you match 3 hearts, you get 3 hearts! The
other 2 suits give you nothing, though.
AEROBICS?
^^^^^^^^^
Charge up your Pegasus Boots and dig a hole with your shovel. Link will run in
place until you press the Control Pad!
TRENDY GAME PRO
===============
You can be a pro like Marin, too! Look at the chart below.
# #####
# # #
# #####
That's how the Trendy Game's moving floors are, right? Ok, now look at the next
chart, the ^ being the crane and the I being the item you need. Move the crane
to get it over to the corner as it is in the chart.
# ####^
# # #
# I####
Right as the item start to go to the right, tap the A Button. The crane will
go down and should get the item you needed! You may need to practice, but after
you get the hang of it, it's easy!
NO MUSHROOMS, PLEASE
--------------------
Want to skip getting the Mushroom for the Magic Powder? Go into the Trendy Game.
You can win Magic Powder in there and skip the entire sequence! Saves time for
any time-trials you may be doing.
MORE BOMBS
**********
Other than receiving the upgrade from Mad Batter, if you set a bomb by a Bombite,
after the explosion, it always leaves a bomb! Try to destroy 2 with one bomb
to gain some more bombs.
SHH! DON'T WAKE THE ARMOS!
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""
If you don't want to deal with Armos Statues, Simply push them aside with the
Shield. They won't wake and you can safely pass.
MARIN? LINK?!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Play the Ballad of the Wind Fish where the walrus was. It'll stick it's head
out of the water and think you're Marin!
EASY FINAL FOES
===============
If you *must* defeat the Final Bosses easily, use the Shovel on Shadow Agahnim
for easier reflection. Use the Boomerang on Deathl for an easy 1-2 hit K.O.!
BUT I ALREADY HAVE THE...?
--------------------------
A hard trick to pull off, but it is possible. When you defeat the Lanmola for
the Angler Key, wait until it's right about to fall down the pit. Grab it and
move out of the sandy area. If done correctly, a second key should fall in the
cave below!
I'M IN THE MONEY!
*****************
Need rupees? Go inside the Color Dungeon and bomb the southern wall 1 screen
north and 1 screen east of the entrance. Inside the secret room there will be
around 100 rupees. Grab them and leave the Dungeon. Reenter and they're back!
Fatten your wallet up using this technique.
DESTROY ZORA
""""""""""""
Try using items on the hidden Zora in Animal Village - you can make it explode!
NO COLOR, NO PROB!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can access the Color Dungeon in a regular Game Boy, but you need a GBC to
pull it off. After successfully beating the dungeon, enter in a black and white
Game Boy. You can explore the dungeon without color!
DOOR TO NOWHERE
===============
Pull at any corner of a bush in the Mysterious Woods. Lots of the corners can
be lifted in the form of stone sprites, leaving a door sprite where the corner
was!
L:8 WITH NO MIRROR!
-------------------
If you have a Magic Potion, go to the Flamethrower in the Tal Tal Mountains.
Lose your life and pass through the flamethrower when you're flashing. You're
now where you can't normally go without the Mirror Shield!
ARM-MIMIC EASY
**************
If there are Arm-Mimics in the room you're standing in, grab a wall and move them
to one clump. You can kill them all with one blow! You can also control them
to fall down pits! Works with Mask-Mimics as well!
UNBEATABLE GAME
"""""""""""""""
In Angler's Tunnel, after you get the key to unlock the Mini-Boss's room, return
to the room 2 screens down and 1 to the left from the door to the battle. See
that gap? You can jump in with a Pegasus Boot and Roc's Feather jump, but it's
reallllyyy hard. Unlock the block above and you've made your game unbeatable!
You can't get the other key without Flippers and you can't get the Flippers without
the other key!
WARPING GLITCH?!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ok, not a really know code, but as my friend was messing with his Flying Rooster
and some holes in the Ukuku Prairie, he fell into some glitched screens - found
by using the warping code in the regular version of Link's Awakening! Although
never done again, if you have done this trick, E-mail me at
[email protected]
with any info you have. Thanks!
MASTER STALFOS PROFIT
=====================
If you use the Missile trick on Master Stalfos, it always leaves a small key behind.
You can get 3 extra keys this way!
/\====================================================================/\
/__\ F A Q S /__\
/\ /\ ------- /\ /\
/__\/__\==============================================================/__\/__\
Can't seem to find something on this guide? Here's a list of the most commonly-asked
questions and their answers.
Q. How do I get the Noghtmare Key in Level 2?
A. Go to the room in the northeast corner of the level with the Pol's Voice,
the Stalfos, and a Keese. Destroy the Pol's Voice first, then the Keese,
then the Stalfos.
Q. Why does your guide say that (item) is in a chest, when it's actually
(another item)?
A. To be truthful, I just recently got the DX version. I see that they've
changed a few chest contents...grr...I'll fix them as soon as I can, just
E-mail me at
[email protected] telling me of their changes.
Q. How do I kill (enemy)?
A. Look in the enemies or boss sections.
Q. What is this extra key for in L:3?
A. If you never explored all of the passageways in the room with 4 locked
doors, you can use that key to enter them. Otherwise, it's decoration.
Q. I'm lost! What do I do?
A. Calm down and try to find a place in the Walkthrough that sounds like your
surroundings. If you look hard enough, you can find your way.
Q. Oh, no! I missed the Marin Pictures/Richard's picture/Secret Seashell that
can only be gotten at certain times! Can I get those again?
A. Sorry, 'fraid not. Those 'One-time only' things can only be received at a
certain time, sorry...
Q. I can't enter the Color Dungeon! Why?
A. Either you don't have GBC or you have set foot into a level. If you set
foot in any level, you must beat it before you're allowed to enter the
Color Dungeon.
Q. Is the Triforce in this game?
A. No. The Triforce is only in LttP.
Q. I don't have that item that your walkthrough says to use! How do I get it?
A. Look in the previous parts of the Walkthrough. In every Quest, you'll see
some objectives. Look for the item you need there and read the Quest to
find out how to get it.
Q. Hey, your guide makes me want to write my own LA Walkthrough! Can I use
some of your stuff?
A. Great! Another Walkthrough! I'm glad to hear it, but don't put my stuff
on your own FAQ - That would be stealing my work, thus making you a thief.
So, be original in your work and I'm sure it'll be great!

ARTEMIS251 - Yay me! Without myself, I couldn't have created this FAQ or my site!
Don't try to come to my house and thank me, Bowwow gets a bit excited outside
and can sometimes jump at strangers with high speeds, biting their ankles. Most
of this info was taken from my site, too. I still have a LOT of credit to give
out, though.
ASTROBLUE - He allowed me to use his nifty Triforce-section-title text art. He's
also one of the few who inspired me to create this FAQ. Loads of thanks to him!
DEMAJEN - He is a friend to me, which helped out in getting Astro to help! Known
quite fittingly as the Oracles Master, he helped me write this FAQ and has a site
that is my site's sister! Visit it at the following link-
http://www.templeof4seasons.cjb.net/
ADAM SIMA - He's proven to be a great ally to me in finding codes and enemy names
alike. He can be found shut inside his house with all lights off, playing a Gameboy
Color in the corner with the music all the way up.
HELLDEATHSCYTHE - A friend from far back, he still helps me and supported my site
and this FAQ/Walkthrough. He can usually be found at Pokemon conventions, thrashing
at every Pikachu he sees. He also had an unfortunate accident once with a crystal
ball, a fold-up lawn chair, 3 trucks filled with peanut butter, and a cheap garden
hose, resulting in a curse that makes anything associated with him moderated
everywhere he goes.
HUGO JANACEK - I thank him for sticking with me (seeing as how I always get him
and Adam mixed up... O_o ) and for sending me some great Warp codes! He's proven
to be a great ally through and through.
JEFF 'CJAYC' VEASEY - The owner of GameFAQs! He's the one who posted this
FAQ/Walkthrough up! Yay!
EVERYONE AT THE GAMFAQS ZELDA DX BOARDS - They're all great! Woohoo! I thank
them for both inspiration and for giving me questions for my help topic!
EVERYONE WHO CONTRIBUTED/VISITED MY SITE - The list grows long, and they are all
a big part of my Spacial Thanks section! A humbly thank all of you who have given
me info or codes. You're great!
NINTENDO - For creating this game. This was my very first video game, and it's
one of my favorites! Go Nintendo!
