_____________________
|What You Need To Know|
|_____________________|
Armour – Having armour works in as much as it will reduce the damage you suffer from enemy attacks. There are different amounts of protection the armour will offer depending upon which armour you equip yourself with. There are three types; Green, Blue and Red armour.
Boomerang – The boomerang can freeze enemies for a short time after you strike them, which can give you an easy kill for later. You can also use the boomerang to grab rupees or other items at quite long distance.
Bombs – To obtain bombs you have to buy them at the shop, though you may sometimes collect them if you kill an enemy or find them in a room. You can set off two at once to blow up cracked walls, kill enemies or explode a certain area.
Bottle – Bottles can be bought from the merchant in the town. They assist you in as much as you can store items in them and leave them on your display screen before using them later.
Book of Mudora – When you reach stages in the game when you cannot read certain writings, this item will enable you to understand them by decrypting the messages.
Bow and Arrow – You can purchase arrows for your bow at the shop or alternatively find them. The bow is a very good and powerful shot which rarely misses, as you can be a safe distance from your enemy. Arrows are expensive so use sparingly.
Cane of Byrna: This magical power can be used to thrash an enemy with, using the stick. It does require a certain amount of magical power and once you use it all up, until you recover some more power; it will become void of use.
Dungeon Compass: The compass will show you where the boss’s lair appears, thus helping you find the boss quicker and completing the mission more effectively.
Dungeon Key: A normal sized key will be able to open a normal sized lock on a treasure chest, as opposed to a big key which will only open certain specialized locks which are larger.
Dungeon Map: When you enter a new level, one of the first things you should look out for is a map contained in any treasure chest. This will help guide you around the rooms of the stage and will mark out rooms which you have not even visited.
Flute: Much like a whirlpool, the flute will transport to a certain area on the island. Select the place where you want to go (from a number) and travel their instantly. This has advantages like if you are in the middle of a level and want to nip to the shop for some ammo or similar situations.
Healthy Heart: By visiting fairies, using potions, collecting hearts and pieces of heart you can increase your health during the game.
Hookshot – When you need to transport yourself from one area to another, but in between the place your standing and the target area is a pit; extend the hookshot to the other end where it can grab onto something and provide you with an instant passage through the gap.
Magic Cape: Similar to the old Roc’s Feather, the Magic Cape will have you jumping over holes and gaps in dungeons. Like the Cane of Byrna it requires a degree of magic and in the same way you won’t be able to use it without magic power.
Magic Potion: To buy magic potion you must visit the shop, but bare in mind you can only buy as many as you can carry, i.e. you must have a spare bottle to carry the potion in. There are three different varieties of the potion; green, red and blue. Green restores magical power, red refills your hearts and blue restores both magical power and hearts.
Magic Power: To gain more magic power you must collect decanters worth of magic power which can vary in the amount of magic power available. If you do have the power you can perform more magical manoeuvres.
Map: There are two different ways to view the map and the various areas in the island. The first way you can view the map is an area view which will zoom in on the close area where Link is, illuminating where Link stands. The second map mode will show you the full island and where Link is in relation to the whole of the map. Again, you will be able to identify Link. However, these maps can only be viewed above ground and not in houses, shops or caves.
Moon Pearl: To be protected from enemy attacks that metamorphose you, equip yourself with the Moon Pearl when you claim it. It’s used for defence purposes, but can also help you in a fight with an enemy when trying to get the upper hand.
Pegasus Shoes: If you need to pick up the pace as it were; the Pegasus Shoes (not boots) will vastly increase your speed when travelling from place to place. Not only can they get you from A to B quicker, they can also help you in tackling in objects.
Power Glove: From the start you can life light objects like patches of grass and bottles, but with the Power Glove you can lift heavier objects like rocks and boulders etc. Again, as with other items (but unlike with the R function) you will have to turn the Power Glove on at the sub screen.
Shield – As soon as you are given the shield, it will (like the sword) automatically assemble itself within the control suite. However, unlike with the sword the shield actually has no buttons you activate it with. Strictly speaking you do not control the shield; it only becomes active and blocks attacks when you are not attacking yourself.
Sword – Once you have the master sword, it will automatically place itself within your ‘B’ button. The sword is likely to be your most effective weapon and you should be able to tackle most enemies with it. There are four levels of power within the sword for you to earn, each time increasing in power, starting off at the first level. If you hold onto the button and let it spin you will be able to maximise damage to the opposition.
Zora’s Flippers: Simple – you can swim with these. By selecting the flippers you can swim in both small paddling pool like areas, say in levels and the sea on the outskirts of the island. You can also dive for short moments too.
*****PART THREE*****
________________
|Cheats and Hints|
|________________|
-Chicken Wars-
If you continually attack any chicken in the village, a storm of chickens will enter the scene and will begin blindly attacking you. Watch out though, as they can destroy your health rapidly.
-Sword Upgrades-
Level One: Get all three pendants.
Master Sword: Beat the fourth dungeon, rescue the creature from the dark world and bring it to the light world.
Tempered Sword: Having beaten the misery mire and buying a super bomb; blow up the Pyramid of Power. You have to sacrifice two items to the fairy, but in return you will get a much improved upgraded sword.
-Rupees-
Go to the cave in the village, where you should find 20 rupees. If you leave the cave and re-enter, the twenty rupees should be replenished.
-Upgrades-
Buy the bomb after completing the four missions and blow up the pyramid. Throw in your sword, bow and arrow and boomerang in exchange for the gold sword, silver arrows and magic boomerang.
