There is a really easy 100 rupee piece to find at the start of the game. It is located under your grandma's house. To get there go to the left side of the house and there should be a hole there. Crawl through it to find a chest with the rupee in it.
Note: This cheat may be incorrect because I haven't played this in a while, but I do know its there, there just might be something I forgot.

This tip helps you take out both Blue Bubbles without them "popping" up.

In the room where you get the Big Key, there is a Darknut at the far side of the room and numerous skulls lining the walls. As soon as you enter, take out your Boomerang and destroy all of the skulls. Sooner or later, you should be left with the two skulls on either side of the Darknut (not directly beside it). Those two skulls are the Blue Bubbles. Now take out your Hero's Bow and shoot them. After taking them out, you can easily defeat the Darknut without interference.

First, you have to have gotten the master sword, seen princess Zelda, and gotten the special arrows. Get the Iron Boots and go to Shark Island. Activate all the switches and fall down the hole. When you reach the center of the room turn around and some gunnards will start attacking you as well as some other enemies. The enemies will keep coming until you kill the last one. When you’re done, a chest will appear. Break all the glowing orbs and collect the treasures, then open the chest. It will have a map in it. Exit the area. After you’re done, don't worry if you have to get more items. You can enter again, walk up to the chest, the turn around and do the process all over again. Also, if you’re looking for a challenge, do it with the iron boots on.

Near Dragonroost island there is a flight contest to see how far you can glide with the Deku leaf. I have a cheat to make you go really far.

Things needed:
Full magic gauge
Tingle Turner
GBA and link cable.
Rupees
Deku leaf
Wind Waker

Before you do the contest use the Wind Waker to make the wind change in the direction you are going. Then when the guy tells you that you can go take the Tingle Turner and buy a walk on air potion. Which lets you walk on air. Let it activate and run on air as far as you can for the time limit. When the time is up change to the Deku leaf. Try to hit the tornado's as much as you can. If you start to run out of magic buy a magic potion from Tingle. You should go so far that you should break records. Enjoy

Here are some tips to help you defeat Ganondorf.

  • Tip 1: When facing him let him come towards you. That way you can prepare for counter attacks.
  • Tip 2: When he is near you always counter his attacks with the A button. Your sword will flash when you can counter. Your paddle will also rumble.
  • Tip 3: Dont get in the way of Tetra when she has the Heros bow. You could get hit by one of the shots. Keep your shield up when she shoots to make a counter.
  • Tip 4: Try to slash him in the back. That is one of his weak spots.
  • Tip 5: Always keep on guard and offense. Keep attacking.

    link directly to this cheatHelp With Getting Cabana Deed (To Get Triforce Chart)

    Before you do this, you'll need at least 21 Joy Pendandts; which you should have collected throughout battles.
    Anyways-- go to Windfall Island. Find the school teacher. She has pink hair. You'll find her in the town "circle" where the pictograph shop is and where the wooden staircase is located. Her door is pretty recognizable. There's a wooden plack that has a vague picture of a woman with pink hair. Go into that door. Talk to her. She'll tell you to talk to the four children outside. Go back outside and talk to the boy with the hat on. (He's the leader of the "gang".) He'll challenge you to a hide and seek kind of game. Do this. I had a bit of trouble on this. But I finally figure where the four boys were hiding. Here's where the hiding places are in random order:

    1) Look behind the shrine at where you got the Song Of Passing. (The man dressed as Elvis.) If you haven't even gotten this song, get your wind waker out and learn the requiem. (Right; Left; Down) There will be a boy hiding. Simply chase hime until you catch him. You won't need to use any item-- this goes for every finding.

    2) At the docks at Windfall Island, the first tree you see where the poor heavy man stands is the tree with the leader of the group. Don't have your sword out. Attack the tree stump. The boy should fall down and you'll chase him until he's caught.

    3) Go to the docks of Windfall Island. Then go up the trail to where you'd go to the Song of Passing Shrine. But, instead, turn up the wooden ramp. Walk straight, but don't go in the door way. Step onto the wooden plank thing. There should be two pots in front of you that you might want to break. Walk all the way until you reach the end of the plank. Take a left onto the land. Then walk straight. Don't go in door way. Instead, look behind bush. That's where another boy will be. Chase him until caught.

    4) Lastly, go behind the bomb shop. Either sidle or use your leaf to simply fly across. The last boy will run away from you. He'll jump down. Don't be discouraged. Simply jump down yourself and chase him.

    They'll praise you and tell you to get a Joy Pendant. If you have 20 and need one more (which I doubt) go the the tree next to the bomb shop. Attack this tree (which means roll into it-- what you needed to do to get the leader off the other tree) They'll talk to you... blah blah. You'll know what to do.

    Talk to the teacher, give her 1 pendant than talk to her again to give her 20 more. (I'm skipping some things, I know.) She'll then give you the frigging Cabana deed that you've been freakign out about. lol. I haven't gone further than this. But go to the Private Oasis that is South East from Windfall Island. You should be smart enought to figure everything else out. I believe there's a cheat for this Triforce Chart, on this site! lol.

    Gohma
    To hurt Gohma, you need to use your Grappling Hook on Valoo's tail, which is hanging through a crack in the ceiling. The rock surrounding the tail breaks loose, and falls on the armoured firepede, cracking his armour. The idea is to swing to a higher platform so you're less likely to be hurt by Gohma's claws. You have to repeat this process two more times, when he'll lose all his armour. Back on the ground, L-Target him and stun him with your Hook. He'll fall, allowing you to attack his eye with your sword. Repeat this process until he's defeated.

Target, break out the sword, jump-attack him, slash once, and then run off of the petal. If you take too long, it closes on you and chews you, doing some damage. On the other hand, you can dole out more damage if you stay longer and then grab some hearts from the grass around the room. Keep repeating this process until he's defeated.

    Gohdan
    With Gohdan, you'll be using a lot of arrows, but don't worry about running out because the boss kindly gives you 10 more every time you hit 0. From his nose.

    Gohdan is similar to Bongo Bongo in Ocarina of Time. He's two hands and a head floating around an arena. This time, the arena is surrounded by an electrical floor, so try not to get knocked off. With your Bow, target each hand and wait until you can shoot the eyes in his palms. Each take a couple of hits before they go limp. When both are hurt, Gohdan's head starts attacking.

    Target one of the eyes. It's generally best to move to the side that you have targeted. In other words, if you're targeting the right eye you should strafe to the right before firing. This helps to ensure a hit on the eye, rather than having your arrow glance off of the nose. After you hit the eye once, don't immediately shoot another one. Instead, wait. The bosses eyes disappear, and his mouth opens. Start running and rolling. You want to make sure that the stream of fire he starts shooting misses you, if you get hit you get thrown onto the electric floor. After the fire's done, target one of the eyes again and fire another arrow, then wait, then dodge the fire. Repeat this until both eyes are gone. At this point, he starts descending. Target his mouth and start running toward him. When he lands on the ground, toss a bomb into his mouth.

    You have to now repeat all of this twice; the second time around, his hands have more HP, and the third time, his fire beams will fire at the same time as his hands swipe at you.

    The Monstrous Helmaroc King
    When you start this fight, the bird is chasing you up the circular ramp. Just keep running, with some rolling thrown in for speed. Ignore the enemies that drop in, they don't pose any threat, and are more dangerous if you treat them as distractions

    Once you get to the top of the fortress, the bird flies out and the floor closes. Target him, and then start strafing. Eventually, he'll thrust his head down to try and stab you with his beak. Dodge out of the way, then pound his head with the Skull Hammer. He'll start flying around and dive bombing. Target him when he starts to swoop, then jump to the side when he comes in. Eventually, he'll land again and try to stab you. Just keep smashing him when he does, and dodging him when he swoops at you. Your objective is to smash his helmet.

    Now he's helmetless, very angry, and has a new attack. He'll start hovering over the centre of the platform and madly flap his wings. This creates a huge gust of wind which propels you toward the wall. The wall with the spikes all over it. Target him and start rolling forward to avoid hitting the wall. To hurt him, all you really need to do is dodge his attacks and wait for him to try and impale you with his beak. He'll still get stuck, and you should still smash him with the Skull Hammer. Only a couple of hits until he's vanquished!

    Molgera
    Hmmm...now we're on Jupiter. Right, fairly obscure 80s movie references aside, you need to wait until this boss shows its mouth. Target the tongue thing and Hookshot it. This briefly stuns the boss, and he'll lay his tongue on the ground. Break out your sword and slice away until it crawls back into the sand. If you take too long to hit the tongue, he'll grab you in his mouth and chew you up. So if you miss more than 4 or 5 times, it may be a good idea to back away.

    At this point, 3 mini-sandworms appear. To defeat them, just target them and use the Hookshot to bring them to the surface, then slash them twice with your sword. I recommend doing that, because they're just one less thing to worry about when you're trying to Hookshot the ever-moving tongue. Once you're ready, Hookshot then slash the tongue again. Then just take out the mini-sandworms, and repeat this general process a few more times.

    Puppet Ganon
    Puppet Ganon has three different forms.
    Form 1: Puppet Pig
    This looks like Ganon's pig form, only as a large marionette. To beat this boss, use your Boomerang to cut his strings (2 hits each), then run behind him. Pull out your Light Arrows and shoot the blue ball at the end of his tail. Repeat this two more times, then it's on to the next form.

    Form 2: Puppet Spider
    He morphs into a Spider, then jumps up to the ceiling. Switch to 1st-person view, and look up to see him spinning. When he stops, take a quick note of where the blue ball is and then run and roll in that general direction. If your aim was true, when he lands you'll be within eye-sight of said ball. Pull out your Light Arrows and shoot the blue ball. After he jumps back up to the ceiling (whether or not you've hit him), 3 Keese show up. Kill them and grab their powerups. Repeat 2 more times and this form is finished.

    Form 3: Puppet Moldorm
    Ah yes...the Moldorm. Elder Zelda players should know exactly what to do here just based on the name. But it must be said that in 3D, this guy is a pain. He moves around the room, then moves in a circle, then moves to a different part of the room, and then moves in a circle again. If he starts coming toward you, run to another part of the room, or you'll get hit a bunch of times once the circle starts. You have to do this while avoiding Morths.
    So, run away and wait for him to start moving a circle. Then, pull out your Light Arrows and shoot the blue ball at the end of his tail. However, you can only lock onto his head. So you need to fire your arrows without the benefit of targeting and pray that your aim and timing was good. No hints for that other than you need to anticipate when the tail will come into range, and shoot early. After 3 hits, you're finally done with this boss.

    Ganondorf
    Zelda hands you your sword, then steals your bow. She stands along the sidelines and shoots Light Arrows at Ganon. When she finally hits him, run in and start slashing away. Until then, concentrate on blocking and parrying. After Ganondorf gets hit by arrows a couple of times, he finally spots Tetra and promptly knocks her out cold. Now you're on your own.

    I found one of the better strategies here is to madly slash away. He blocks, but at least he's not attacking. Plus, when you're shield's up you can't do a counter attack. So, slash away and wait for the A button to flash and quickly hit it to do a counter attack. I ended up just hitting both A and B at the same time, but if it's before 1 am and you still have good reflexes you may not need to do that. After a few hits Tetra finally wakes up.

    She starts shooting arrows at Ganon, but is now missing wildly. You can keep up the same basic strategy as before, but now he blocks your counter attacks. So instead, stand still and put your shield up. Well, you can move if you want to, but when you hear the whine of arrow magic you need to stand still. Tetra shoots a Light Arrow into your shield, which deflects the Light and stuns Ganon. Run up and watch your A button. Hit it when it flashes, and the fight's over. Sit back and watch the ending.

    link directly to this cheatHow to Identify the Pig & Get Rupees

    On Windfall Island a guy who is standing by the bomb shop and next to the two very short grey brick walls will talk about him having pigs and worrying about them. Press A and talk to him agian and he will say "I may not look rich, but i can loan you some money, if you got cash problems". Go talk to a few people around town and maybe buy a few things. Come back to the guy and he will say "The old money problem, eh?".
    he sends you to bring him his "slightly stupid" pig. Beware, he has 3 other identical pigs. The way to identify the stupid one is to pick the pig up and throw it. The pig that does not bounce is the stupid one. Bring that pig to him and he will give you a lot of rupees!!!

    link directly to this cheatHyrule Castle Moblins and Darknuts

    If you have trouble defeating all of the Moblins and Darknuts after you get the Master Sword, this could help.

    First of all, when you get out, run right in front of the Hero of Time's statue, so you're on the high ledge. From here, you can shoot arrows at the Moblins from far away or drop bombs if they're under you. You can also lure Darknuts and Moblins here. They can't reach you and they hurt each other (or more like Moblins getting hurt). After you defeat all of the possible Moblins, run upstairs and defeat those enemies (preferably single or in doubles). After you're done with that, you can then "sweep" the ground floor of Darknuts and any remaining Moblins.

    Using this way, I only lost one heart (due to carelessness). You may waste a lot of arrows and/or bombs, though.

    link directly to this cheatKorok's Withered Tree Challenge

    Sometime after you complete the Forbidden Woods, you will run into various Koroks with dry, withered looking saplings on different islands. If you speak to them, they will ask for your help in watering their trees. Of course, regular water does no good, only water from Forest Haven will have any effect. Here’s the catch: once you remove water from Forest Haven, it only holds its power for 20 minutes. There are 8 trees in all to be watered. Here are some tips as well as my plan of attack to accomplish this side quest. Preparations ahead of trying to beat the clock are key.

    1.)Speak to the Greak Deko Tree about the Koroks. He will mark their locations on the sea chart with a leaf. When you are watering trees, these leaves will turn green to mean they have regained strength. Those that have not been watered will appear red.

    2.)Have the islands where Koroks are located charted by feeding the fish bait if you haven’t done this already. Scout the exact location and how to get there of each tree and Korok, especially the one on the Cliff Plateau Isles. Here, you need to enter a hole in one of the southern plateaus. You enter a room with tree like platforms with rupees. Make your way to the ground with the spiked roots and monstrous plants. Kill the plants and follow where the roots let you go. Eventually, you will kill a plant that turns into a plant you can climb into and shoot out of. Aim for the platform. Jump to the next platform and you will see an exit beam within a tree. Jump toward the beam and immediately use your Deko Leaf to float to the beam. This will take you to the withered tree.

    3.)Do not speak to the Korok when you are watering. This takes up time you don’t have. To check how much time you have left, enter the inventory menu and press A over the forest water. The time left will appear in red.

    4.)Avoid enemies if you can, especially sea enemies. Dodge sharks by jumping over them.

    5.)You must have these items set to shortcuts (i.e. X, Y, Z): the forest water, the sail, the wind waker. You must also have learned the Ballet of Gales for the wind waker.

    6.)Don’t worry about running out of forest water. One bottle full is enough for all 8 trees as long as it remains forest water.

    Now that we know the location of the withered trees and that we have the necessary items, we can begin to tackle this side quest. We begin inside Forest Haven. Fill an empty bottle full of Forest Water. Once you exit, the countdown begins. Waste no time in making your way to your ship. Set the wind to NW and sail to Marie’s/Link’s Oasis. Water the tree (1) when you see the arrow appear above it. Set the wind to the North and sail two spaces to Eastern Fairy Island. Water the tree (2). Use the Ballet of Gales to warp to Great Fish Isle. Set wind to SW, and sail to Needle Rock Isle. Water the tree (3). Set the wind to NE, and go back to Great Fish Isle. Water the tree that’s on a plateau with a spiral path (4). Set the wind to the north, and sail two spaces to Mother and Child Isles. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT use Ballet of Gales to warp here. Water the tree (5). Continue north to Star Island. Water the tree (6). Warp to Outset Island, and set the wind to NE. Sail to Shark Island, and water the tree (7). Warp back to Forest Haven, and set the wind to the East. Sail to Cliff Plateau Isles, and enter the hole previously described. Go to the other exit beam, and water the tree (8). Viola! The tree transforms into a fully grown healthy tree. You are rewarded with a heart piece for your trouble. By the way, I was left with over a minute left when I watered the last tree. Try to find ways to do it faster :-)

    Alrighty, this shortcut may look long, but I explain it in great detail, that is why. You know when you go to the Forsaken Fortress? You do NOT, I repeat do NOT have to go to the room with the Laser-Moblin statue thingie. That is the long way. I found a shorter way and it is not so much work. After you kill the Bokoblins up in the searchlight towers, go back to the start where you first landed and where Tetra first talked to you. Go up the stairs. Then, turn LEFT and go in the door. The correct door has a lighted torch above it. Once you go through, swing across the rope and into the next door. Keep going straight until u get into the nxt door. There is another rope. Swing across that. BTW, if you fall, you're screwed. Go through the door and you will find 2 Moblins and 2 barrels. Lift one up and get past the Moblins. Do not be seen or let them hear you. Go up the little flight of stairs and through the big door. Then you will be outside again. Quickly go up the stairs and you will finds another barrel. Get past the Moblin. (For some reason, it is harder to get past one Moblin then to get past 2) Go up the path with the barrel on top of u. Once you are on flat ground, it is safe to take off the barrel. Then sidle across the gap. You will find another gap with hearts on it. This is the correct way to go. Get across that and go upstairs to find your sword.

Finally, all Hylian text will be translated into English the second time through.

    To make this work, make sure you save at the end of the game, and start the game again with that save file.
