LEGEND OF ZELDA: OCARINA OF TIME
Beat the Shadow Temple Mini Boss
To beat the mini boss in the Shadow Temple ( the one where hands grap you and hold you in place until it bites you ), all you have to do is use your lense of truth. When using it, look for a shadow on the ground. When you see it, put a bomb on it. The boss will then come up out of the ground and you won't be hurt.

Chicken Attack
Any fan of the old Zelda games will have figured this one out already: Attack a chicken repeatedly with your sword and it will call for backup. Soon, tons of chickens will flap around on screen, trying to give Link that same fuzzy "Birds" feeling as in Hitchcock's famous movie. Simply leave the room or area to stop the chicken attack.

Creating Music with the Ocarina
You can get even more detailed in the music you play with the ocarina with these extra tips. To play flat notes, hold Z while playing a note. To play sharp notes, hold R while playing a note. To vary the pitch on a note, use the Control Stick. Try it out and compose your own masterpieces!

End Game Song At the VERY end of the game, after the entire ending, when it says "The End" and freezes the frame, if you leave it on for awhile, it'll start playing the song you made up for the scarecrow. Wait another minute or so and it'll play it again in a different octave or different instrument. It does this about 4-6 times and then stops. No biggie, just another little "easter egg" Miyamoto dropped in there.

Extra Bottles
To get extra bottles go to a place where there are fish swimming in a shallow pool, like the hole behind the potion shop in Kokariko Villiage, or Zora's fountain. Equip a bottle, and swap at a fish. When he is in mid-swap pause it and equip something useless in the bottle's place and it will turn into a bottle. DON'T use something important, because you might not be able to get it back. NOTE: The bottles will appear in your equipment screen, but you may not be able to use them.

Finding Gold Skulltulas
Before planting a Magic Bean in a mound of soft dirt, empty a jar of bugs (you can buy them for 50 rupees at Hyrule Market or just find them under rocks) on top of the mound. Catch one of the bugs immediately afterwards so you don't have to find or buy more of them. After one of the bugs goes into the mound of dirt, a Gold Skulltula will jump out, except for the mound right next to the bean selling guy.

Fun with Gossip Stones
When you are able to use bombs find a gossip stone. Place a bomb at the base of the stone. When the smoke clears the stone should flash blue twice, red once and then blast off. Also when you get the megaton hammer from the fire temple find a stone and give it a good wallop and the stone will flatten like a pancake. Don't worry if you send the stone into space it will come back when you exit the room. When you flatten the stone it should bounce back to its normal shape in a couple of seconds.

Don't wait untill you have 100 Gold Skulltulas to get the golden Ruppee, get it as soon as you get bombs. As either Link, go to Kakariko Village. Right when you walk in there is that tree in the middle. Well take about 10 paces directly behind that tree, you should be in the center of a somewhat open area in the town. (If you have the Stone of Agony, you will feel it rumble.) Place a bomb there and back away, when it explodes there will be a hole in the ground and kill the two mummies with the Song of the Sun and your sword. A treasure chest will appear with a golden ruppee inside. Another gold rupee is hidden in the boulder chamber in Goron City. Stay on the left side of the chamber that destroys the rocks. When you get to the end of the line of rocks there should be a gold rupee. In the same chamber there should also be a purple rupee. For a third, get to the bottom of the well and defeat Dead Hand. Now grab the Lens of Truth and equip it and look for a small chest behind the one you just opened. Open it to reveal a golden rupee.

How to get Epona
the Horse Getting Epona can be very tricky at times. This guide will help you beat Mr Igno.
1.Learn Epona's Song. As Young Link talk to Malon in the horse corral in Lon Lon Ranch after meeting Princess Zelda. Talk to her again and show her your ocarina and she'll teach you Epona's Song. 2.Become Adult Link and get at least 70 rupees. 3.Talk to Mr. Ingo outside the corral at Lon Lon Ranch and pay 10 rupees to ride the horse. Instead of getting on the horse provided, play Epona's Song and Epona will run up to you. Ride her around the corral to practice. Wait until the time is up. 4.Talk to Mr. Ingo again and pay to ride again. Play Epona's Song and get on Epona. This time, walk up to Mr. Ingo while on Epona and use Z Targeting to talk to him. He'll challenge you to a race with a 50 rupee wager. 5.Win the race against Mr. Ingo. He'll challenge you to a second race. Win again and you'll get Epona. 6.Use the A button to get Epona running really fast and jump over any fence to escape the ranch. Race Tips: Racing Mr. Ingo can be tough. Here's how to win. Hold forward on the control stick as soon as the race begins. Use 1 carrot (push A to use a carrot) and wait for it to come back before using it again to keep up with Mr. Ingo. Hug the fence and wait for him to move out of your way. Then use up all the carrots you have EXCEPT ONE to speed Epona up and pass him. Wait until a second carrot appears and use it, then keep doing this to keep ahead of Mr. Ingo. NEVER USE YOUR LAST CARROT! Just keep using the second-to-last carrot. If you use the last one you'll slow down big time and lose.

Lens of Truth
The quickest way to obtain the Lens of Truth in th bottom of the well so you don't wind up running around like a chicken with it's head cut off is as follows: Enter the well: Play the song of storms as child Link inside the well. Next enter the well. Going stright along the passage until you meet up with a big Skultula is the first step to the large room which you simply walk straight through the wall in front of you to enter. Take the first Right passage, and follow it until you reach the crest of the royal family embeded in the ground next to you. Play Zelda's Lullaby to lower the water in the well. Next go back the way you came into the starting room. That first pool of water that you passed will be gone leaving you access to the chest below (bombs) and the small crawl-through tunnel. Crawl through, and continue down this passage until you enter the room with DEAD HAND. Watch out for his large hands which will grab hold of your head and leave you vulnerable to Dead Hand's attacks. However you will need to be caught by these hands once you've hit Dead Hand enough that he sinks into the ground. Your chest obtained here will be the Lens of Truth, once Dead hand is defeated of course.

Mad Soldier
You know that in the castle courtyard there are the pictures, right? Well, there's also a soldier that's there. Go to the window opposite of the window with pictures. Use your slingshot and shoot in the window. A soldier will peek out, say something, and throw a bomb at you. It's not a useful trick, but it's pretty funny to see.

Navi's Hints
Be sure to keep an eye on your fairy companion at all times. When Navi turns green and flies over to a spot, it's usually an indication that there is something hidden there. If you don't feel a rumble from the Stone of Agony, then it's most likely a red fairy (refreshes health and magic). Play the Song of Storms or Zelda's Lullaby, to lure it out. In some occasions, Navi also points out potential "scarecrow" spots and hidden caves.
