Have Some Fun With Marin
When Marin's with you, she can be a lot of fun. Take her to the Trendy Game - it's hilarious. But I'm saying what happens. Also, when you jump from ledges, Marin lands on you. Don't break pots or take stabs at chickens - she'll chastise you.

Easy Money
In level three, the Boss will taunt you and say that you will never find him. To get infinite 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.

Stealing
Your character can steal from shops by taking an item, and standing above the store keeper. As he looks towards 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.

Sadistic Marin
Go up to a chicken and hit it with a sword while you have Marin. At first, she will tell you to stop but if you hit it enough times, she will laugh and tell you to hit it more.

Stealing Items From The Shop
Go into the shop (not the one with the claw). Go up to an Item and pick it up. Walk behind the counter, wait until the man is looking to the right. Then, as fast as you can, run down and out the door as fast as you can, you have to make sure that he doesn't turn towards you. When you come back in, he will kill you(don't worry, you still have the item, you get back your life, and you reappear at the shop's door).

Fun With Screen Jumping!!!!!
When you find the secret power bracelet(already mentioned on this page), if you leave the screen, and return, you will be able to re-receive the power bracelet(already a main treasure in a level), repeat this around five times and then jump down and exit the screen to the bottom. You will see the fish that teaches you a song on your ocarina. THIS IS A GLITCH!!! If I were you, and I did when I discovered this cheat, TURN THE GAME OFF IMMEDIATELY!!!!!

Special Ending
To get something special at the end, you have to beat the game without dieing. I'm not going to ruin the surprise, but it isn't that hard to do, for i have done it several times without even having to use the potion of life thing. The thing is after the credits and when the words, The End appear. Good luck!
