Cheats & Codes

In the castle court yard where you meet Zelda shoot the window opposite of the Mario pictures window and a guard will suddenly appear and he will tell you to knock it off then throw a bomb at you. Now we know why the guards in A Link to the Past throw bombs.

Much like the skull kid in Hyrule field you can make a giant leever appear in the Desert Colossus. Just kill a bunch of leevers until a giant purple one appears. It is about the size of a Like Like and takes quite a few hits to kill. It usually leaves a red rupee behind after you kill it.

If you catch a Poe in a bottle and then select it for one of your c buttons press the c button with the Poe and Link will take out the bottle with a Poe in it and drink it. Be careful though since this can cause damage, but its neat to watch so it is worth it.

While standing by a one eyed statue use Din's fire. It will make the statue stretch up to the ceiling then twist like a cork screw and suddenly it will go back to the floor and flatten out and then go back to normal.

Zelda 64 Crap Code:

1. Play any song that will warp you, or Saria's song.

2. When the words that tell you what song you played appear, do the crooked cartridge code, being careful not to freeze the game. Now the tricky part.

3. After the screen that asks you if you want to warp or talk to Saria appears, quickly push the left side of the cartridge back in, but don't pull out the right side (For those of us who are right-handed, keep the right part of the hand pushing down on the right part of the cartridge). You won't see a yellow coloured line but some words or crap if you did it right.

4. You will see some cool crap. Some of it will scroll and then stop, then a blue arrow appears. If you press A, the game will freeze. Wait and you'll see more crap appearing. You can get a lot of weird BS with it, plus lots of international letters.

Property of The Odyssey of Hyrule.

Hello. I know a cheat to make the file select text Japanese. There is a way to get back the English text, but more on that later. Anyway, you need an empty save slot with a character that hasn't been started. Select that slot, then gently pull the cartridge to the left until the music is slightly obscured. Now enter your name as usual and hit End. Push the cartridge back in so the garbled noise goes away. Shut the Nintendo 64 off and turn it back on. You'll see all the text on the file select screen in Japanese, but the text while you're playing the game will still be in English! To get back your old English text, delete any characters you played as and start them over. Disclaimer: Do not do this code unless you are willing to accept any consequences. You might lose all your saved data! Do it at your own risk! Should I say that in Hylian? I repeat, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

I know how to get a debug menu in Zelda 64. Nintendo didn't want this to be known, but here it is. First, do the crooked cartridge trick that lets you go to Hyrule Field or the Great Deku Tree without trying. The game should freeze and you should see a yellow-coloured line above the first Heart Container. Press the buttons in this order: L+R+Z, Up+C-down,C-up+Down, Left+C-left, C-right+Right. You must hold each button until you get the full sequence in and let go. You will get a black-coloured box with a message. You can also use this to find out the date your copy was made (mine was made on October 26, 1998) and what version it is (mine is ROM-F). You will have to turn the power off and on because reset won't work. For more info, go to The Odyssey of Hyrule.

You know the guy in Z:OOT at the fishing pond that scratches his armpits a lot? You can catch his hat. He gets really mad and you can fish with it, but if it gets loose he gets extremely mad and makes you pay 50 Rupees. This is true, but hard to do.

Dead Link! Hold down the Z button where ever you are and and knock an arrow (this means to have one on the bowstring) Now press the button for the ocarina and an arrow will be stuck through your neck for as long as you have the ocarina out.

With the dead hands, if you have the "lens of truth" you can see a dark spot on the floor. bomb that spot and the monster thing will rise, then attack with the sword

To get five bottles you should go to where a fish is and then swoop for it but before link gets it. Press start and go to the item sub screen and choose an item then press start. That item will turn into a bottle.

you can get 200 rupees in a hole that you need to blow up behind the tree in Kakariko Village. You can also get 200 rupees in a box next to the hole you are put in if you are seen in Gerudo Fortress.

For those who don't want to wait till they get to Death Mountain I did find another way (although it takes some doing). Grab a chicken and walk over to where the man is running back and forth on the overhead scaffolding. Carefully toss the chicken on top of the first level of red bricks in the center of the platform. Climb up yourself and then grab him again. Toss him up onto the second level of red bricks. Once again climb up and the grab him before he runs away.

Now this next part has to be timed just right or the man running on the scaffolding will knock you off. With chicken in hand, face the windmill and WAIT for the man to come to the corner of the scaffolding. AS SOON as he leaves jump across to the narrow ledge. Then quickly (but carefully) run in the direction of the chicken woman's house. If you time it right you'll just miss the man coming to knock you off. Be sure to run as straight as possible on the scaffolding. When you reach the end you will sail right over to the wooden roof. You can then walk in and get the piece of heart. It took me about 5 tries to get this right. The hardest part is keeping the silly chicken in your reach. LOL. I know it's a bit more complex than coming off Death Mountain but for those who want the heart NOW... it does work. :-)
