Tips and Tricks

  • Buying the Potions in the right order saves time on the Menu
  • If you need full magic for Ganon, freeze an enemy with the Ice Rod and kill him with the Hammer. You will get a big magic drop for sure
  • The first time in Plaid World you can collect 2 Fairies
  • The Bug Net technically is a safety item but provides a lot survivability in the Plaid World fighting Trinexx and Vitrious as well for Kholdstare. Small time lose if you have to get rid of the Fairies before buying potions the second time
