The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Wii

Published By: Nintendo

Developed By: Nintendo


Link, a young man raised as a wrangler in a small, rural village, is ordered by the mayor to attend the Hyrule Summit. He sets off, oblivious to the dark fate that has descended upon the kingdom. When he enters the Twilight Realm that has covered Hyrule, he transforms into a wolf and is captured. A mysterious figure named Midna helps him break free, and with the aid of her magic, they set off to free the land from the shadows. Link must explore the vast land of Hyrule and uncover the mystery behind its plunge into darkness.

For Nintendo's long-awaited Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, the designers have split the game into two versions -- one for GameCube, and one specially designed to make use of the Wii utilizing the powers of the Wii controller for all-new ways of exploring Hyrule.

You can choose any level, the cost is free, the time limit is raised to 4:00:00, and you cannot win any Rupees. Also, as an added bonus, once you beat 8-8, Hena will fill your wallet completely!

The game requires 5 rupees a play and you win 10 rupees for each round, and the frog lure for the eighth. (If you run short before you manage to get the lure, mowing the tall grass just outside (still in the fishing hole area) offers around 60 rupees.)

Hint - 3rd Dungeon Skip

In the third dungeon (the lakebed temple) you can skip a large section. Once you have the clawshot go to the room with the rotating staircase, the water should be flowing on one side normally you would then go to the other side and get that water flowing but instead use the clawshot and go up on the chandelier. Once there slowly drop youself off the lide so that you are hanging by your hands from it, then let go. You will have landed on the center pillar and will be able to go on to the boss through the door.



Unlockable: Big Quiver

To get 60 Arrows. You must beat "STAR" game level. The Clawshot is required.



Hint - Doing the Oocoo Time Warp Again

If you would like to save your game at a specific point in a dungeon, use Oocoo to teleport outside, then save. When you restart, you teleport inside the dungeon to the point where you exited rather than being forced to start at the beginning.



Hint - Enutrof Rellet

If you need a clue, read what the fortuneteller writes backwards.



Hint - Spring Water

You'll notice that where the springwater shop is in Castle Town that the owner's son is crying. It's because the bridge is out. Go to the Gerudo Mesa. A monolith will stand out. That's the bridge. Talk to Midna about it and warp it to Castle Town. Go back there to find that Junior's still whining.



Talk to his dad who's sitting near the bridge. He'll tell you that he needs springwater for energy. You can try bringing it to him in a bottle, but by the time you get to him, it's just plain water.




Talk to the old Goron outside Malo Mart in Kakariko Village. He'll give you a barrel of hot springwater. You'll start in Hyrule Field and have to run the water to him. The best way to get there is along the cliff. The spinning plants don't go there. If you run into a bokoblin archer, just dodge his arrows. He has really bad aim. There are a few catches to this mission




1. Don't get hit by any enemies or you'll drop the barrel and have to start over.




2. Don't let any enemies touch the barrel. They'll just break it and you'll have to start over.




3. Do not put the barrel down in the water in the field. It'll cool right away and again, you'll have to start over.




If you get to the bridge and avoid these problems then good for you. He'll tell you to throw it on him. Z-target him and throw the barrel. He'll get all excited and roll off to get some springwater. He'll bring back a Piece of Heart with him.



Easter Egg - Cuccoo Polymorph

Instead of attacking Link for striking cuccoo (chickens) too many times, you are temporarily polymorphed into one for continued cuccoo harassment.



Hint - Balloon Popping

At Lake Hylia, you can play a fruit balloon popping game as a wolf (speak to the bird near the lake cannon) for a heart piece.




Simply go for the 10K high score by popping only strawberry balloons and ignoring the other larger balloons in the way. You should be able to scrape by the 10K mark right before the end of the course.



Hint - Bird Killer

If you want to make some easy money while travelling Hyrule field, take down the flocks of birds. The Gale Boomerang and Z-Targeting lets you drag them close to be killed by a sword strike.




Clearing the flock will cause a reward of about 50 rupee to drop from the sky.



Rare Chu Location!

On the path from Kakariko Village to Death Mountain, there's a little cave in the wall with vines hanging from it that can be grabbed with the clawshot. Use the clawshot to pull yourself up, and inside is a rare chu. If you are quick to kill it before it merges with the more common purple chu, you can get yourself some rare chu jelly which behave like Great Fairy Tears (the stuff the topless fairy gives Link that restores all life and enhances attack for a short while).



Hint - Hidden Moves and Commands (a.k.a., the Don_Chan)

There're some hidden moves not covered in the manual or the game tutorials.




1. you can execute a rolling stab by rolling, then quickly slashing with your sword. This move knocks enemies back and allows you to finsh them quickly with the ending blow.




2. To quickly dismount hold Z then press A. you flip off the back of your horse and quickly dismount. This is great when you need to quickly take care of enemys on the ground.



Hint - Peas On You

Bottled water can be poured on growing fruits/vegetables to make them increase in size.



Hint - Malo Mart and Magic Armor Quest

To reduce the amount of money required to open the Malo-Mart in castle town and be able to purchase the magic amor. Donate 1000 rupees to repair the bridge to the west gate to castle town to the goron inside the Malo-Mart in Kakariko Village.



Then talk to the old goron outside the Malo-Mart. He will send you on a quest to deliver some hot spring water to the goron sitting beside the bridge outside the west gate to castle town. To easily complete this quest. Simply walk along the edge of the cliff until you reach the brige. Then smash the barrel of hot spring water on the sitting gorons head.



After you have done this go back to Kakariko Village and talk to the goron collecting donations inside the Malo-Mart. He will have lowered the required amount to 200. After donating 200 rupees a Malo Mart will open in Castle Town and the magic armor will be available to buy.



Glitch - Infinite Bomb Arrows



  • Step 1: Play the ballon poping game at the grass away from the cannon man, and run into the cliff imedently, tell the bird that you don't want to play again.


  • Step 2: Turn into human and equip the Zora Tunic and clawshot. Step off the platform into the water.


  • Step 3: Turn towards the cliff that is to the left, hold L (or Z-target on Wii) and use the clawshot. Swim to the wall while still holding the clawshot and push into the wall until you go through it.


  • Step 4: Use the iron boots so you sink for a while, then swim up so you fall through the water and appear talking to the bird.


  • Step 5: Tell the bird that you want to try again and you will be in the balloon popping game again.


  • Step 6: Fall into the water again (during the air ride) and you will appear at the start of the canoe ride, turn into the wolf and jump into the water, as soon as you hit the water, talk to Midna.


  • Step 7: Let the current take you down river and you will appear in wolf form in the canoe, but mis-shapen.


  • Step 8: Tell the zora you want to ride again, you will appear in the inside of the canoe ride building. After the ride starts you will not be in the canoe but on the ground.


  • Step 9: Warp to any location and turn to human, and you will have infinite bomb arrows from the "Lent Bomb Bag" and a glitched quiver (requires some fiddling on your item screen).
