Here are some questions that I have been asked, or have asked myself, and then figured out.

3. Why can't I buy bombs? No one will sell them to me!
4. Is there any way to skip the cinema scenes?

6. How do I get up on that ledge in the room with the wall of flame in the Fire Temple?
7. How can I carry more than 99 rupees?



Q. What's with that Happy Mask Shop?

A. Ok, the Happy Mask Shop. At first it kinda threw me off too. As young Link, talk to the guard at the entrance to Death Mountain in Kakariko Village. He will tell you that his son really wants a mask from the Happy Mask Shop. Go to the shop, located in the Market, next to the entrance to the Temple of Time, and talk to the owner. Borrow the Keaton Mask, and take it back to the guard. Go pay the owner, and he will have a new Skull Mask. Take this to the kid in the Lost Woods, one screen left from the starting point in the woods. If you aven't already, stand on the small log, and play 'Saria's Song'. Sell him the mask, and take the money back to the store. Now, borrow the spooky mask and sell it to the kid in the Kakariko Graveyard. Take the money back, and get the Rabbit Ears. Go out into Hyrule Field, and find the runner. Sell him the ears. Take the money back, and now you will be able to borrow the Mask of Truth (or any of the others). The Mask of Truth will allow you to get clues from those strange stones. Well, hope that helps!



Q. How do I get the Biggoron Sword?

A. Ok, there is a big trading sequence involved here, so pay attention!
As adult Link, go to Kakariko Village after you have gotten Epona, the horse. Talk to the Cucco lady, and she will give you a Pocket Egg. Wait til morning, and it will hatch. Go into the house with the red roof that is level with the ground, and use the Cucco to wake Talon up. Go back to the Cucco lady and give her the chicken. She will then give you Cojiro, a strange colored Cucco.
Go into the Lost Woods to the spot where you sold the Skull Kid the mask, and use Cojiro to wake up the sleeping guy. He will give you a mushroom. Quickly take it to the witch in Kakariko Village. She will make a medicine out of it.
Take the medicine back to the Lost Woods, and the guy will be gone. Talk to the girl, and give her the medicine. She will give you a Poacher's Saw in return.
Take the Poacher's Saw and give it to the head carpenter in Gerudo Valley. He will give you a broken sword. Ok, now we're getting somewhere!
Take the broken sword up to the top of Death Mountain, where the Great Fairy is. A HUGE Goron will wake up. Talk to him. He will tell you that he can fix the sword, but he needs some eyedrops because his eyes are irritated. He says that King Zora can make them. He will give you a letter.
Head to Zora's Domain and show the King the letter. He will tell you that he cannot make the eyedrops, but that the scientist by Lake Hylia can. He will give you an Eyeball Frog to take to the scientist. You only have a limited time to do this, so hurry!
Take the Eyeball Frog to the scientist, and he will make eyedrops for you. You have a limited time to get them to the top of Death Mountain, so run run run!
Go back to the top of Death Mountain, give the eyedrops to the Goron, and he will be able to see again! He will give you a claim check for the sword. Come back in a few days (you can play the 'Sun Song' a few times and speed up the process) and he will have forged the Biggoron Sword for you! This is the most powerful weapon in the game, but you are not able to use your shield with it.
There you go, have fun with your new toy!



Q. Why can't I buy bombs? No one will sell them to me!

A. You won't be able to buy bombs from the shops until you have obtained the Bomb Pouch from the
Dodongo's Cavern. That's the 2nd dungeon you will visit as a kid. The Bomb Pouch is held in a chest in the dungeon. Once you get it, you will be able to buy bombs. There may even be a way to increase your bomb carrying capacity...



Q. Is there any way to skip the cinema scenes?

A. Yes, don't play the game :) This will effectively eliminate the cinema scenes.



Q. How do I avoid the large, rolling boulder in the room where I get the Kokiri Sword?

A. After you crawl through the hole, wait until the boulder rolls by, then chase it, being careful not to touch it. There's an alcove on your right you can duck into should you need it.



Q. How do I get up on that ledge in the room with the wall of flame in the Fire Temple?

A. Ok, by the ledge there are two small pillars with hearts on them. Stand in front of the one closest to the ledge, and face the ledge. Now run straight at the ledge, and Link will jump and grab it! It doesn't look like he will make it, but he will.



Q. How can I carry more than 99 rupees?

A. To be able to carry more than 99 rupees, you must first defeat 10 Gold Skulltulas. After you have defeated them, go to the House of Skulltula in Kakariko Village. Talk to the freed child there and he will give you the Adult Wallet. Now you can carry up to 200 rupees!
