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 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 Trinex and Vitrious as well for Kholdstare. Small timelose if you have to get rid of the Fairies before buying potions the second time
