My list will be all from Ocarina of Time, since I've played that one the most:
-Nabooru at the start of the spirit temple offers Link as a child an unnamed reward for getting the silver gauntlets. After giving you the Spirit medallion, she mentions how she never would have guessed how handsome Link would become and says something along the lines of "Maybe I should've given him that reward..." Maybe I'm taking too much from context alone, but I think I may have an idea what the "reward" was...O.o
I'm pretty sure she was hinting at a kiss. Why was she so cryptic about it?... Because the Zelda series was a little prudish back then. Made to be appropriate for 6-year olds, if they could figure out the game.-In Kakariko village, the windows on the houses aren't actually attatched. If you turn the camera right, you can see that they're floating a couple game inches off the wall. Graphical bugs can be so funny!
Well, I think they did that to keep the windows from looking completely flat. I wouldn't really call it a bug. Just conserving polygons.-I'm pretty sure you can only deal the killing blow (before the event) to Ganon with the Master Sword.
I can confirm this! It is true.-The snake statue's boobs are hookshotable (this serves no purpose)
Hunh, hadn't noticed this one. What were you doing hookshotting her in the chest? -The original blocks in the Spirit Temple contain an Islamic symbol
I'm not sure whether they realized it was Islamic when they made it, but yes, there was a big hooplah about that at one point. I don't see what the big deal was. It's just a crescent moon and a star.Now, for my own contributions (all OoT since I've played it to freakin' death):
- If you hit the ground with the Megaton Hammer next to a wall with a skulltula, it will flash, die, and fall off. But if you keep pounding the ground, it'll continue bouncing off the ground until you stop pounding.
- You can get the heart piece above the entrance to Dodongo Cavern by backflipping over the railing at the overlook further up the mountain. It's a long enough fall to damage you, though.
- The Goron Tunic allows you to walk on some lava. Funny, it doesn't seem to include fireproof boots. You still get damaged every few seconds, but you can prevent this by targeting and hopping/backflipping.
- Some of the spiked floors in the Shadow Temple register as "lava" to the game. That means you can also use the Goron Tunic to temporarily walk on spikes in some places! Be sure to wear it in the Shadow Temple. Or, heck, anytime you don't have a Like-Like to worry about.
- There's the stuff in the windows of Hyrule Castle courtyard, but everybody knows about that.
- If you see Kaeporo Gaeboro (the owl) waiting for you at the entrance to Lake Hylia, you can skirt your way around him to avoid the auto-dialog, provided you keep your distance and climb the ladder to the right. Phew... Lousy stalker...
- You can get the heart piece on the roof of the house in Kakariko without the hookshot. Do it by climbing the watchtower, targeting, and side-jumping over the railing toward the house, directly left after you reach the top of the ladder.
- You can get another heart piece in Kakariko really early in the game by systematically tossing a Cuccoo onto the pile of bricks, jumping up, picking it up again, and tossing once more until you reach the top of the pile. Then use the Cuccoo to fly to the plank of wood. Avoid the guy walking back and forth by jumping past him, then glide down to the back entrance of the house which leads to a cow behind bars. (Poor cow.)
- Once again, you can use a Cuccoo to "cheat" and get a heart piece early in the game at Zora's River. Carry the Cuccoo from the bottom of the area all the way to the waterfall at the top, throwing it and picking it up again when necessary. Use it to cross the gap, and you can get the heart piece before you acquire the Boomerang.
- If you throw Deku Nuts at Ganon's face during his final form, they can stun him.
- If you throw Deku Nuts at Ganon's TAIL during his final form, they can damage him. In fact, you can finish this fight using only Deku Nuts, plus one final sword stroke.
- If you stay on the roads after nightfall in Hyrule Field, Stalchildren will not attack. Woo, Zelda 2 shout-out!
- If you stand on the drawbridge chains and wait for night to fall, then carefully walk across the top of the drawbridge, there's a large amount of invisible Rupees waiting for you. You can also just climb the chains and jump to get them in midair. Many newbies figure this one out, though.
- Deku Sticks may break when you use them to attack, but each hit does as much damage as one stroke from the Master Sword. If you Jump Attack with a stick, it will do as much damage as one stroke from the Biggoron Sword.
- The Water Temple can be completed without the Zora Tunic. It's not even necessarily that hard.
- Most inanimate wooden objects in OoT can be hookshotted. The same goes for most ladders and climbable walls. It's fun finding them.
- It's possible to complete the trading quest for the Biggoron Sword entirely without Epona. I've done it.
- If you can get a butterfly (as seen just outside Hyrule Castle) to land on your Deku Stick, it will turn into a fairy. I've seen it. But it's way too difficult to be worth trying -- I say don't bother.
- If Navi turns green and you can't figure out why, try playing the Song of Storms near where she turned green. Usually, a large fairy will appear that refills all your life. You can't bottle it, though. If Navi turns green in a dungeon, try playing the Song of Light instead.
- The Spirit Temple can be completed before the Shadow Temple. I prefer it, actually.
- At the fishing hole, you can cast your line at the front desk and hook the owner's toupee. He won't be very happy about it.
- Cut up a signpost, then pound the ground with the hammer. The pieces will bounce.
- If you play Zelda's Lullaby after cutting up a signpost, the pieces will float in the air and the sign will reconstruct itself.
...Well, that's all... for now, anyway.
I've replayed OoT so many times I could keep remembering new stuff all day, it seems.
