the background music will be different. **

Birds of a Feather: In Mabe Village, start whacking the chickens with your

sword. If you attack long enough, a whole flock will attack. ***

Link, The Thief?! : If you want to get an item from the Shop in Mabe

Village for free, just pick it off the wall and start walking circles

around the shopkeeper. Then make a run for the door. If you escape with

out him catching you, you'll get the item for free! However, if you enter

the shop again, the shopkeeper will zap you into oblivion! And throughout

the game people will call you a thief. It's a good way to get the

expensive Bow, however. *****

Save Rupees: Here's another way to "steal" an item. The only catch is

that you must have enough Rupees to buy it. As soon as the shopkeeper

starts taking down your Rupees, push A,B, select and start. This will

take you to the save game screen. Choose to save and quit. Your Rupees

will still be there and so will your new item! *****

Bomb Arrows: The only problem with bombs is they don't have much range.

Not any more! If you equip the Bow and Bombs, and then push both buttons

together at the same time, the bomb will go flying across the screen. ****

Talkative Tagalong: When Marin tags along, she's quite talkative. She

will get mad at you for breaking pots and for hitting chickens. And she

really digs it when you dig with the shovel. ***

Fun and Games: When Marin's along, enter the Trendy Game. This is a hoot.

She'll take the controls and move the claw so it picks up Mr. Trendy.

It's quite hilarious. ***

Rough Landing: If Marin is along and you fall down a ledge, if you don't

move away, she'll land on you and flatten you. She's apologetic, but it

still hurts! *

Powder Power: You can do some interesting stuff with the powder. Try

sprinkling it on the Ghost's Grave, the trees in front of the Seashell

Mansion, and the bones in the desert. **

Have a Heart: When you see Goombas in this game, stomp them instead of

slashing them. They'll always give you a small heart. ***

Use the Ocarina: It turns out that Pols Voice hates music. Must be those

large ears. Play the Ballad of the Wind Fish for him and he'll

self-destruct. ***

Bomb for a Boomerang: After obtaining the Magnifying Glass, go to Toronbo

Shores and find a bombable wall. Inside you'll find a Goriya who will

trade an item for a Boomerang. Trade the Shovel. If you find you need

the shovel again, you can always trade it back. *****

Find the Faerie: If you use the boomerang on a spark, it will turn into a

faerie. ****

Boomerang Border: When you have the Power Bracelet, Rooster, and

Boomerang, you can put all three items together to make an awesome

machine. Grab on to the rooster's legs and launch the boomerang. Instead

of coming back to you, the boomerang will circle around you, mowing down

enemies. *****

This is the Pits!: Sometimes there is a pit beneath a bush. If you pull

on the bush and it won't lift up, you'll know there's a pit beneath. Be

careful!

The Queens of Hearts: You'll come across three enemies with changing

suits. When you stop them all on the same suit, they'll disappear. If

you stop them all on Hearts, however, they'll turn into hearts. Replenish

your life meter with this trick. *

Alter the Enemy: Try sprinkling Powder on some enemies. They may turn

into easier to defeat enemies. **

Link's Gymnastic Video?!: Link can sure get an aerobic workout. First of

all, have Link equip the Boots and the Shovel. Start to dash with your

boots, but before taking a step, use the shovel. Link will start running

in place until you press the control pad. **

Trendy Game Trends: Here's how to win the Trendy Game every time. Move

the crane all the way over to the right edge of the conveyor belt. When

the item you want is in the lower left hand corner, tap A. The crane will

be able to pick it up if you do it correctly. ****

Cheap Powder: Instead of running and getting the mushroom and giving it to

the Witch, just pick some up from the Trendy game. ***

Find Bombs: Defeat the Bombites in the Dungeons using Bombs and they'll

leave a lot of bombs behind. You can stock up this way. **

Wandering Walrus: The Walrus loves the Ballad of the Wind Fish. It's what

persuades him to move. If you play the Ballad on the screen he appeared

on, he'll stick his head out of the water. Apparently he likes Marin's

singing better because he soon ducks his head back in the drink. **

Shielding Link: Instead of defeating the Armos Statues in the Face Shrine,

just use your Shield to push them out of the way. *

Dig the Reflection: When facing Agahnim's Shadow, use the Shovel instead

of the Sword to reflect his spells. The shovel is larger and therefore

easier to use. How strange! ***

Stare Down: When facing Dethl, use a boomerang instead of Arrows. He is

much more hurt by those than the arrows. *****

The End: If you finish the game without losing a life, instead of a
