for easy money.

crane in the crack between the pads. Wait for the 30 rupee piece to move
to the bottom right pad, then quickly press A. If done correctly,
it will pick the piece up every time. This will give you twice the rupees
you used to play the game.
Getting
into the Color Dungeon: Get the Pegasus Boots, then go to the library in Mabe village.
Run against the wall with the boots. A book will fall from the shelf. Read
it to learn how to get to the Color Dungeon. In the cemetery, go to the
screen with five gravestones in the order that the book showed.

the stone that link reads "Beat the last level and come back".
Push it down, then push the one to its left, down. Push the next one to
the left, the following one up, the following one right, and the last one
up. Walk down the steps. Go through the halls until you reach a fairy.

You will not be able to go back to green clothing.
Go to the Color Dungeon and
defeat the Boss inside by shooting arrows or slashing him until his shell
changes red. Choose Red or Blue cloak after you meet the fairy.
New
shield color: Once you get the red or blue clothes from the Color Dungeon,

have Marin: Complete the first three levels and get Marin as a follower.
Use the teleport hole to travel to the animal village. Move to the left,
then press Select just when you are about to enter the next screen.
Your character should move across the screen. Marin will now remain in
your party for the duration of the game.
Get
named a thief: Go to the Camera Shop. Read the book that has the character's
name on it before you look at photos. Go to the Shop at Mabe Village and
steal an item. Return to the shop to get killed. Once the game is started
again, return to the Camera Shop. The character's name will have been
replaced by "THIEF".
Steal an item from the shop
in Mabe Village. Go back in the store and get killed. When the you start
the game over, go to Marin. Instead of your name, she call you
"THIEF".
Go to the Camera Shop and get
your album. Then, go to the Mabe Village Shop and steal something. Talk to
Marin and she will now call you "THIEF". Next, go back to the
Camera Shop and look at the album. It is now called "The Travels Of
THIEF". Look at picture No. 7 and it will be one of Link stealing
something from a shop.
Hint:
Stealing: Your character can steal from shop by taking an item, and
standing above the store keeper. As he looks towards of the top of the
screen, use the door to leave the shop. Note: Your character will be
branded a thief and may never return to the same shop. However, the game
can be saved and reloaded if your character is killed by a store keeper,
which allows the store to be re-entered without penalty.
You can steal items after
getting your sword from the beach. Make the storekeeper look at the place
where his goods are and walk left until you are above the door, Then, walk
out. If this does not work the first time, try again. When you walk back
into the store the storekeeper will kill you -- save beforehand and
continue to do it again.
When you steal from the shop,
get the storekeeper to look to the right, giving you more time to exit.
After you get Malon to follow
you so she can wake up the walrus, go to the store. Pick up an item and
just walk out. If you go back in, the shop owner will kill you. After you
steal, Malon will call you "Thief" for the rest of the game.
Go into the village tool
shop. Grab an item, then go above the man and follow the pattern: top,
side, bottom and repeat until he looks at you very slowly. Then, when you
are on the top, run out the door very fast.
The easiest way to steal an
item from the Mabe Village Shop is to pick up the item as if you were
going to buy it. Walk behind the shopkeeper and wait until he turns around
to look at you, then quickly run out of the door while he is facing the
other way. This may require a few attempts. The drawback to doing this is
that the shopkeeper will kill you the next time you enter the shop, and
everyone in the game will call you "Thief".
Hint:
Bonus seashells: Find exactly five secret seashells, then go to the Seashell
Mansion. Enter, then walk right until finding the water flowing up a big
pipe. Another bonus shell can be found by doing this with exactly ten
seashells. Note: Return to the Seashell Mansion with twenty seashells to
obtain a level two power sword. This sword can shoot when your character's
life is full.
When you get twenty secret
seashells, do not go to the Seashell Mansion. Instead, look for five more
seashells so you will eventually have twenty five secret seashells. Once
you have that number of seashells, go to the Seashell Mansion. Instead of
a level two sword, you will get a powerful dagger. If you first go to the
Seashell Mansion to get the level 2 sword and then look for the extra
seashells, you will only find rupees in their place.
Hint:
Easy Heart: There are little animals in the underground passages in
dungeons that walk until they hit a wall before turning around. Jump on
them with the Roc's feather Mario-style and you will get a free heart.
Hint:
Free healing: Meet a fairy inside a cave and talk to it.
Hint:
Extra life: Go left of the graveyard and go in the house. Once inside, you
will find a lady. Talk to her and she will ask you if you want a potion
(40 rupees at the most). Accept, and if you die it will refill your
hearts.
Hint:
Getting the boomerang: Go to Toronbo Shores, the place where you got your sword, and
look for a crack in the wall. Bomb the wall and enter the cave. If you do
not have the magnifying glass, nothing will be there. If you do have it, a
man will be there. He will trade a boomerang for whatever item is assigned
to B. Give him your worst item (the shovel) to get the boomerang.
Hint:
Flight: Obtain the Boomerang and the Rooster. Throw the Boomerang and
pick up the Rooster. The Boomerang should hover below you. You cannot get
attacked by normal enemies but you may attack them.
Hint:
Unlimited money: Reach the Color Dungeon (accessible only with Game Boy Color),
go up to the next room and then right into the next room. Go to the bottom
wall and keep stabbing it with your sword. You will hear a hollow clank.
Place a bomb there and you will be able to go into the room below. It is
filled with five rupee pieces. To repeat this, just leave the dungeon and
re-enter.
Hint:
Wall check: Use the sword to stab at the walls. If a hollow clank is heard,
a bomb may be used to open the wall.
Hint:
Mad Batter locations: There are three places where the Mad Batter is located. The
first location is in the Mysterious Forest. Go to the fairy in the
Mysterious Forest and move left one screen. Lift the rock to reveal a
secret stairway. Descend and sprinkle magic powder on the well. The second
location is two screens to the right of the ghost's house. Blow up the
bushes with explosive arrows. Jump the pit and enter, then move across the
cave and swim through the water with your flippers. After leaving the
water, move left and walk down the stairway. Again, sprinkle magic powder
on the well. The final location is at Tal Tal Heights. Go to the Hen House
and move left one screen. A lone bush will eventually appear after a
couple of screens. Cut it to reveal another stairway. Go across the cave
and get out. Keep moving left and up the mountain, then move left again. A
lone rock should appear. Pick it up and walk down the stairways. Sprinkle
magic powder again. Link should get 60 Arrows, 60 Bombs, and 40 Magic
Powder.
Hint:
Finding fairies in dungeons: Note: A boomerang is required for this trick. Go into any
dungeon with an electric-looking object that follows the perimeter of the
room (unless it hits an object, then it goes around the object).Throw the
boomerang at the object to get a fairy.
Hint:
Getting the master key in the second level: When you are in the room with a bat, a rabbit-like creature,
and a arrow shooting skeleton, pick up one of the pots in the corner and
move the blocks so you can throw a pot at the rabbit. Then, kill the bat
hanging on the wall next to the rabbit followed by the skeleton. A chest
should appear by the door.

When it is out of sword's reach, attack it before it dives down and
attacks you. You can use the shield and press Forward when it blows
and shoots feathers. Repeat until it is defeated.
To defeat him, use your
Hookshot immediately before he flies over you. By the time the Hookshot
gets up in the air, it should be directly on target with it's beak. When
it starts to shoot feathers at you, try to stay in the center of the arena
and deflect with your Mirror Shield. If you complete level 8 before level
7, then you can use the Magic Rod to defeat him quicker and easier.

chicken in any place at Mabe Village. Sometimes you can get a rupee, but
they will appear again when you exit Mabe Village.
Hint:
Kill Mutts or Cuccos: When you are standing next to a cat or chicken, sprinkle some
Magic Powder on them. The chickens will start flashing and then disappear,
while the cats will start flashing and then turn into a chicken. They then
will also disappear. You can get them back by leaving the screen and
re-entering.
