At the rental shops you can rent a sword upgrade or a shovel. Both only last 10 minutes before vanishing, so make sure you get your money's worth!
Thanks to Real Hotdog the location of the magic meter upgrade has been discovered! it is identical to ALttP's--it's in the Smith's Well but completely invisible because the game is broken.
Rental Shops are also the only way to get the eighth Piece of Heart in each week.
Here are the locations, in order based on the first Week in which they become accessible:
* outside the entrance to the Eastern Palace complex
* the house to the right of the Brothers' house (where you go to get into the fence maze challenge in [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]])
* ''more go here''
You '''must''' have the Magic Powder to do this.
Note that the week that a Rental Shop is first accessible determines which Piece of Heart you can dig for there. This means you can still find past weeks' buried pieces by shopping around. You'll still only have one X on your map at a time however.
Go down the Smith's Well and take the upper door. Now watch the door below you. The moment it stops moving off the bottom of the screen, stop walking forward. As a vague guide, aim to be on a row just below the Magic Meter. Then sprinkle some Magic Powder in front of you, and the Mad Batter appears.
==Bottles==
Starting with Week 2, you can collect additional bottles... but only if you know where to look.
Once he's "cursed" you, go down and left. YOU MUST TAKE THE STAIRS or you'll go on the wrong plane. Leave through the door and go on your way.

You can also get this upgrade any time you like using a cheat code (see [[../Cheats|Cheats]] for more).
Go down the Smith's Well and take the upper door. Stand right up against the strange altar and sprinkle some Magic Powder on it to make the Mad Batter appear.

You can still catch the Running Man! This time around he also gives you a blue rupee! As with everything, you can repeat this trick as many times as you like.

In ALttP when you hit the Smiths with the Magic Hammer they said something like "Hey! This isn't a job for amateurs!", but in this game if you hit them 4 times on the 4th time they give you 5 rupees. You can repeat infinite times. Cool! :)

Obviously they got so sick of Link hitting them in ALttP that they decided that this time around they'd bribe the hero... now if only he'd stop hitting them! Their monetary incentive just encourages more whacking...

===The Mole===
The Mole is a strange character. He tunnels up all over the place, and always leads you to great treasures that he has found--if you can work out where he went that is! In many ways he is the spiritual forerunner of the Gorons.
==="unlocking" story characters===
You actually "unlock" special character events (talking to the Mole, rescuing someone) and prevent them from recurring. So if you've talked to the Mole or saved the Priest or Zelda and you then reset at some point after that, they will not do those same actions all over again!
They will still be wherever you left them (i.e., Zelda/Priest in Hyrule Castle, Mole at either of his diggings) regardless of what time is on the reset clock. Remember, they is unlocked FOREVER unless you delete the S-RAM file.
The mole's treasure chests, just like any other chests in the game, will not refill if you reset.
Similarly weather events can only happen once, so if you use cheats to repeat a particular time you won't see its usual weather effects again.
So even though the clock resets, the world doesn't.

This game, like [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]], actually has two endings. Simply run out of time in Week 4 and you see your fainted body outside the witch's hut. An onscreen message says "''What happened? You ran out of time! I guess you gave it your best shot.''"<noinclude>
