Defeating Hothead (Boss 8):
Use your Flamerod.

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.

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".

Magic Powder without Mushroom:
There is a way to get Magic Powder without having to get the Mushroom. Get 10 rupees, then go to the shop that has the lottery. When moving the crane, try to get the bag (it contains Magic Powder).

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.

Disappearing rock wall:
Go to the screen with the mushroom. Get your ring set and pull the wall one step underneath the bushes. It should pull out.

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.

New color for clothes:
In the Color Dungeon, go to the graveyard. Go to the area with 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. Choose a new vest color. Blue gives you the Guardian Acorn power and the red gives you the Piece Of Power. This can be done several times. Note: 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.

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.

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.

Defeating Aganihm (final Boss 2):
Reflect his large beams with your sword, and jump over the small ones.

Hookshot his mouth to pull him to you, then hit his heart.

New shield color:
Once you get the red or blue clothes from the Color Dungeon, select your shield. When you are walking, your shield will change color to match your tunic.

Easy money:
In level three, the Boss will taunt you and say that you will never find him. To get unlimited rupies, get to the Boss, but do not ram the wall with the Pegasus Boots. Kill the blobs that fall on the screen for easy money.

Go to the crane game and begin playing. Put the crane between the top left pad (what the items move on) and the one to the left of it. Make sure to center the middle of the 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.

Defeating Facade (Boss 6):
Hit the objects that fly at you with the sword. When they are gone, stand on Facade's face and drop bombs on it.

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.
