Zelda: Ocarina of Time


Hidden pictures:
Go to where Zelda is met for the first time. Look into the window on her left, as you enter. Pictures of Yoshi, Princess Toadstool, Mario, Bowser and Luigi can be seen. Look from different angles to see them all. Throw something into the window with Mario to receive 20 rupees. Throwing something into the other window will result in a lit bomb being thrown back at Link.

When you talk to Princess Zelda, after you have collected the Forest Stone from the Deku Tree, both sides of the courtyard have windows. On one side are three to four pictures of other Nintendo characters. The other side appears to be empty. However, if you shoot a Deku Seed with the Fairy Sling Shot at the empty window, you will see a little "Easter egg" from the programmers.

Hint: Breaking open boxes:
To break open a regular brown wooden box, just run at it and press A. Link will roll and smash open the box. This is useful when finding all the chickens and to get a Skulltula in the Marketplace room with the pots.

Hint: Z-target anything:
The following trick allows you to Z-target objects that cannot normally be Z-targeted. Press A to check an object, and hold Z while you read the description. Keep holding Z after the text disappears, and you will be targeting it. Try this on the mat in front of Darunia's room, the grave in the front of the graveyard, or the Triforce symbols in the Great Fairies' homes.

Hint: Items from trees:
Roll into a tree in Hyrule field or in a town. The tree will randomly give Rupees, Hearts, Deku Nuts or other items, but at times will not give anything. Note: If you roll into the tree near a bunch of stones in a circle at Hyrule Castle, a golden Skulltula will appear. This trick also works at the tree closest to the entrance at Kakario village and Zora's river.

Hint: Potions:
Information in this section was contributed by Nick.

Green potion
Found at Kakoiro town and the Market. It fills the magic meter.
Red potion
Found at Kakoiro town and the Market. It fills up your all of your hearts.
Blue potion
Found at Kakoiro Town only. Go behind the potion shop and climb the steps. Enter the door and you will be in the Blue Potion Shop. Talk to the lady and you will get the Blue potion. You must get the Biggoron's sword (broken) to do this. The Blue potion fills both your magic and heath.
Hint: The chicken game:
When at Lon Lon Ranch, go visit Talon, the character you woke up before at Hyrule Castle. Accept his offer when he asks if you want to play a chicken game. To catch the three chickens, move to the corners of the room and just start grabbing all the chickens. It helps if you watch where at least one of them lands, to capture one quickly. As a reward for completing the game, Link will receive a bottle of milk which restores five hearts to his health.

To capture the chickens easily, pick up all the chickens before talking to Talon. Place the chickens in the corner between the table, the stairs, and Talon. They will stay there and allow Link to find the super chickens without the other chickens wandering around.

Go to Lon Lon Ranch as a child. Take all the chickens and throw them in a corner. Then, talk to Talan saying you want to play and simply pick out the only three.

Hint: Extra chicken:
Get the Longshot and go to the village as an adult. Go to the roof with the man to see the windmill. You should also see an opening without a door. Look closely at the opening to see a light brown object. Shoot it with the Longshot and you should should see a staircase. Go up the staircase to find a chicken. Pick it up, and go through the "fan". You can go to that roof with that opening to get the heart by the cow.

Hint: Target Cucco:
Enter Lon-Lon ranch, as an adult. Go to the former Super Cucco room when it is empty of everything but chickens. Pick up a Cucco and equip the Hover-Boots. Climb the stairs and jump towards the shelf opposite with a crate and bucket on it. You will land underneath and see a shadow on the shelf, where the crate should be but nothing above it. You will also see just the front side of the bucket and crate. Throw the Cucco and it will fly through the shelf, landing on top. After a while it will fall off the shelf. You will now be able to Z-target this Cucco, but no others.

Hint: Chicken attack:
Repeatedly assault a Cucco (chicken) with any weapon or run over it with Epona. This will result in hundreds of chickens causing you lose life when they attack. They cannot harm you if you are on Epona.
Information in this section was contributed by CSershon and Chris McDougall.

Hint: Trapped by chickens:
As an adult, go to Kakariko village. Use your Longshot to get on the blue roof with the man, then Longshot to the small post in the windmill. Climb the stairs and grab the Cucco. Go down the waterless well with it, and at the bottom, attack it to start a chicken attack. It will be very hard to escape as the Cuccos will get you while you are on the ladder.

Hint: Finding the key at the Treasure Box Shop:
Go to the Treasure Box Shop in the Market at night as a child. Talk to the man to get the first key, then use the Lens of Truth to learn which box contains the key.

At night as a child, go in the back alley to the key shop. Play the game and if you choose the right chest the first time, choose the following chests in a zig-zag pattern to will win every time.

Hint: Free key in the Gerudo Training Grounds:
Go into the lava room in which you must collect silver rupees in the Gerudo Training Grounds. Stand on the first platform and use the Song Of Time. You can jump to the two time blocks and grab the key above. If you keep going ahead, you will find the key room where you open the locked doors. You will find three treasure chests there. Do not open the door to the left. Only go to the right when you enter the key room in the entrance of the training ground. Note: Once you go back into the lava room, you will have to retrieve all the rupees you collected earlier. This is also another way to go through the room with only a hookshot.

Hint: Change Gerudo Guards color:
After rescuing the last man in the Gerudo's Fortress, a woman will appear and say that you are free to enter the fortress at any time. When she finishes, change your clothes (green, red or blue). The Gerudo will change the color of her lipstick, clothes and shoes. Note: This only works once. When you return later or save the game, she will be gone for the rest of the game.
