Heart container
Sent in by Barry
In your first quest, go to the right as far as you can, then go up as far
as you can, go left, up, left, ad you should be on a screen with orange
spiders and a triangular rock. On the bottom of this rock, use a bomb to
uncover a secret cave with another heart container.
Avoid losing bombs
Sent in by Razor
To avoid losing bombs and possibly gain them when fighting Dodongo,
wait until he is close, and throw 2 bombs into his mouth, timing it
so the second bomb comes about 1/4 second after the first. If you've
timed it right, Dodongo will slowly walk in place. You can then simply
stab him with your sword to kill him. He will leave a bomb for you
almost every time. If you're really good, you can also just use 1 bomb,
and time it so that he walks into the blast just after you set the bomb.
Warp from Level 8 to Level 9
Sent in by Mark
After you get all of the triforce, go to the outside of Level
8 and blow your whistle. You go to the outside of Level 9.
Unlock a locked door in Level 1
Sent in by Cole
Walk into Level 1, walk out, then walk back in and the locked
door will be open.
Enemy tip
In screens with multiple enemy types, kill the weakest ones, leave
the screen, and return. The strongest enemies will have changed
into weaker ones.
Less enemies
Leave one enemy alive on a screen and it will prevent the rest
from returning later.
Continue or save
If you are stuck in a screen with no way out, and no way to lose a
life, you can use this code to save your game (so you don't lose the
items you have picked up), and start over from the starting screen of
the game. Press Start on Controller 1 to call up the sub-screen.
Then press Up and A on Controller 2 to bring up the "Continue, Save,
Retry" screen. This is just like losing your last life!
