CHEATS, HINTS, TRICKS AND PLAYING TIPS
How to gain easy experience: Save the game after completing the game once. Use this character to complete a castle. Press Start on controller one, then hold Up + A on controller two. Save the game and immediately begin game play with a new character. The new character's experience points will rapidly increase after starting.
Alternative easy experience: Complete the first quest, then go to one of the palaces during the second quest. After he has placed the crystal in the statue, his experience points will quickly increase. While this is occurring, press Up + A on controller two. Select the save option and then resume game play with a new character. This new character will also gain experience points quickly.
Extra lives: After you have leveled up magic, attack, and life as much as possible, you will earn an additional life for each time you level up.
How to save magic refill time: While in a town and speaking to the old lady that gives you magic, cast a spell when the magic meter is going up. The magic meter will go down and then continue to go up, no matter how many spells you cast, until filled. Warning: This will not work with any other color jar.
How to open doors without keys: In Quest II, or when you learn the fairy spell, cast the fairy spell when a locked door is encountered to pass through it.
Town Bats: Go into Water Town and talk to someone a couple of times. He or she will turn into a Bat.
Avoid battles: When on the map screen, stick to the main path. Most enemies who try to engage in battle will fail and just turn up as an empty side-scrolling stage.
Hidden town: Go to where the sixth palace is located. Then, go northeast until you see a cave. Go through the cave until you get to the other side. At first you will see woods. Use the hammer to destroy the woods squares. One of the squares will have a hidden town.
Defeat Knights: When fighting a Red or Blue Knight, instead of trying to get past his shield, jump up and slash your sword. The sword should still be in front of you when you are descending from the air, causing the sword to hit the knight's head.
The Final Guardian: Go to the left side of the screen and rapidly tap B when fighting your shadow character.
Play as dark blue Link game glitch: To play as a dark blue Link, you must have at least have one magic spell in your list of spells. Then, go to a town with an old woman that restores your magic fully. There is usually one in every town. They have white hair and a bright pink glow. Once you are near one of these old women, walk back slightly to get a running start. Run towards the old woman, and once you are at a jumping distance from her, jump. Once in mid-air, press Start and select one of your spells (Life works very well). Use it before hitting the floor. Once you hit the ground, make sure you fall directly in front of her then press B to talk to the old woman. Press B again quickly and walk into her house. When you fall, make sure you are as close to the door of her house as possible and are still executing the spell you chose. After exiting her house, Link should appear dark blue. Note: This glitch only works in towns. Once leaving or entering a house, or going to another part of town, the effect will disappear and Link will turn back to his normal
color.
Quit game: Press Start on controller one, then hold Up + A on controller two.
