Cheats
- Second Quest : By entering your name as "Zelda" when you start the game, you will immediately begin the Second Quest without having to play the First Quest.
- Reduce Enemies : If you leave one monster on a screen, no other monsters will respawn, and every time you visit the screen, there will be only one monster.
- Unlock a Door Without a Key in the First Dungeon : When you enter the first dungeon, immediately leave and come back. The locked door will open.
- Money Making Game : Immediately to the left of the start screen, there is a rock face that can be bombed to reveal a cave where the money making game can be repeatedly played. If you lose or gain a lot of rupees, press "START" to access the weapons screen. Then, on the second controller, press UP and the second button simultaneously. The game will immediately end,bringing you to the "CONTINUE", "RETRY" or "SAVE" option. If you've lost money, select "RETRY" and you'll be back at the start screen, with your previous rupee count intact. If you've been lucky and gained a lot of rupees, select "SAVE" and you'll go back to the character select screen. In either case, the total number of replays for your character will not advance and you can quickly move back to the money making game to maximize your earnings.
- Safety Tip : Some of most difficult dungeon rooms (ones full of Darknuts for instance) can be cleared with minimal to no damage taken. Stand in the doorway, just enough to not go through. If you have full health, step forward and fire sword beams. Otherwise, only enter the room when it is possible to strike and return to safety. Shutter Doors can be cheated in this manner as well. As long as Link doesn't entirely cross the threshold, the door will not close and lock.
