How do I get all four Magic Bottles?
1) Buy one from the Bottle Salesman in the Light World village, for 100
Rupees.
2) In the Light World village, the building south of the one with the sick
boy in it has a rear entrance. There's a chest inside, with a Magic
Bottle in it.
3) If you swim upriver from Lake Hylia in the Light World, you'll swim under
a bridge. There's a man camped out there, and if you talk to him, he'll
give you a Magic Bottle.
4) After completing the Ice Palace dungeon (the one with the 5th crystal, in
the Dark World), a locked chest will appear in the Dark World equivalent
of the Blacksmiths' House. Get the chest, return to the Light World via
the Magic Mirror, and go talk to the 'middle-aged man' just outside of
the Desert. He'll open the chest for you if you agree to his
conditions. You'll find a Magic Bottle inside.
How do I make money in this game?
After you've gotten the Power Gloves that allow you to lift white rocks, go
to the southwest portion of the Light World. Just outside the desert, you'll
find an alcove with two large white rocks in it. One of them has a staircase
under it, and leads to a room with 10 vases in it. Each vase has 5 Rupees.
Loot them all, and then walk back outside. You can keep entering, looting,
and leaving until you have however many Rupees you'd like (up to 999).
How do I catch the man that runs away from me in the Light World village?
Approach him from the west. As soon as he starts running away from you,
Dash Attack (via the Pegasus Shoes) towards him. You'll catch him. All
he does is tell you to try dashing into Trees, anyway.
How do I open the locked chest I found in the Dark World?
Take it to the 'middle-aged man' at the entrance to the Desert in the Light
World. Agree with whatever he asks you.
What should I do with the Magic Powder?
Once you've gotten the Magic Hammer, go jump into the hole outside the
Blacksmiths' House in the Light World. Sprinkle Magic Powder on the altar
you'll find down there, and you'll gain the ability to perform magic at
half the normal magic point cost.
You can also sprinkle it on the white-and-red flying skulls that drain your
Hearts and Magic gauge in the dungeons, and they'll turn into Faeries. Quite
an improvement. (A rare few of them are immune to this.)
There's also a chicken in one of the houses that will turn into a woman if
you sprinkle Magic Powder on her. Doesn't accomplish anything, but it's
amusing.
What things trigger Crystal Switches?
1) Hitting it with your Sword.
2) Hitting it with your Boomerang.
3) Hitting it with the Hookshot.
4) Having a Bomb go off near it.
5) Hitting it with an Arrow.
6) Hitting it with the Fire Rod.
7) Hitting it with the Ice Rod.
8) Throwing an object (vase, etc) at it.
9) Hitting it with the beam of energy fired by any Sword of Level 2 or
higher, while you're fully healed.
X) Probably some other things I've forgotten.
How do I kill the green and red guys who follow my movement?
Fire an Arrow near one, and make him walk into it.
Where are the eight Transport Squares in the Light World?
1) In the far Southwest corner of the Desert, under a black rock. Only
reachable via the Flute.
2) In the Northwest part of the grassy area in the Southern part of the
world, under a white rock. You need the Magic Hammer to reach it.
3) At one of the lowest points on Turtle Rock.
4) On the top of Death Mountain.
5) On top of Turtle Rock, but you must first use the Magic Hammer to hammer
down the posts you find there. Hammer them in a Counterclockwise
direction, starting with the Southeastern one.
6) In the easternmost Southern entrance to the Lost Woods. If you go there
from the South, you'll need the Titan Gloves to lift a black rock. If you
go there from the North (inside the Lost Woods), you'll need the Magic
Hammer. The transporter is under a white rock.
7) Under the black rock on the largest island in Lake Hylia.
8) In the center of a circle of posts (need Magic Hammer) near a cave mouth
in the eastern quadrant of the world. Hard to describe, sorry. It's
under a white rock.
X) The entrance to Hyrule castle, after you've defeated Agahnim for the
first time. Just walk through the front gates, and you'll appear in the
Dark World...it's not strictly a Transport Square.
How do I get into the dungeons?
Castle Hyrule, the first time:
There's a bush on the eastern side of the castle, covering a hole.
Lift the bush and jump in.
First Light World dungeon (1st pendant):
Just walk in.
Desert Palace (2nd pendant):
Read the Book of Mudora in front of the green stone in the center
of the desert.
Tower of Hera (3rd pendant):
Just walk in. However, you'll have to enter the Transporter atop
Death Mountain, and then use the Magic Mirror to return to the Light
World on top of Spectacle Rock in order to *reach* the dungeon.
Castle Hyrule, the second time:
Remember the energy barrier you saw blocking one of the outside doors
the first time around? Hit it with the Master Sword.
Palace of Darkness (1st crystal):
Pay the monkey to follow you, and then pay him to open the door.
2nd Dark World dungeon (2nd crystal):
Use the Magic Mirror to return to the Light World. Enter the building
there that corresponds to the dungeon entrance. Push the blocks out of
your way, and exit north. Pull the right-hand lever, then go back
outside and return to the Dark World via the Mirror's transport square.
Lost Woods (3rd crystal):
There are a number of mouths and holes around, and all of them lead
into some area of the dungeon. Try them all. There's also one that
is buried under a bush in the center of a 3x3 patch of bushes.
Thieves' Den (4th crystal):
Pull on the tines of the pitchfork held by the demon statue in the
center of town.
Ice Palace (5th crystal):
Enter the transport square under the black rock on the island in the
center of Lake Hylia (Light World).
Swamp of Evil (6th crystal):
In the Light World, use the Flute to go to location #6. Lift the black
rock to your right, and enter the transport square there. Then go
north, and look for a platform with the 'Ether' symbol in the center
of it. Stand there, and cast Ether.
Turtle Rock (7th crystal):
Go to the equivalent of Turtle Rock in the Light World. Hammer down
the posts you'll find there. Start with the Southeast one, and work
counterclockwise. Enter the transport square that appears. Stand on
the 'Quake' symbol just south of you, and cast Quake.
Ganon's Tower:
Just walk up to it, and the 7 crystals will break the seal on the door.
How do I get into the last part of the Lost Woods dungeon (3rd crystal)?
Stand in front of the big insect-like thing, facing north. Use the Fire Rod
on it, and you'll burn open an entrance.
I'm at the end of level 3F in Ganon's Tower (the final Dark World dungeon,
after Turtle Rock), and I can see a ledge along the south wall, but I can't
seem to reach it.
See those blocks across from the ledge? Dash into them from the south, by
either standing right on the edge of the platform, or by facing east, holding
the button down to Dash, and then facing North just before the Dash causes
you to move.
