Tips and Tricks

• In front of Link's House are three small, grey stones. If you lift the middle one, there is a 50/50 chance to get a bomb
• Buying the potions in the right order saves time on the menu
• Before falling down in the Skull Wood Dungeon, always slash the bush and lift the stone at the very bottom. There is a 50/50 chance to get another bomb drop
• 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 Bug Net technically is a safety item but provides a lot survivability in the plaid world fighting Trinex and Vitrious as well for Kholdstare. Small timelose if you have to get rid of them before buying potions the second time
