Linking Secret

The following is a list of all the secrets obtained in a Linked Game. It includes whom Link must speak with to get the secret, whom he must tell the secret to in the opposite game, the reward for telling the secret, and whether a minigame must be completed in order to obtain the reward. Secrets listed under are obtained from characters in Labrynna in a linked  game; these passwords are told to characters in Holodrum on the corresponding completed  file. Secrets under the section are the opposite. These characters only appear after a certain point in the game (usually when a dungeon is completed). After receiving a reward, Link can give Farore a code at the Hall of Secrets in the opposite game in order to receive the same reward in the linked game.

Secrets are listed in the order in which they appear in Farore's Memory.

Clock Shop Secret
After completing the Skull Dungeon, an Old Woman appears next to the Ember Tree in South Lynna in the present. The Old Woman informs Link of the existence of a secret cave behind the Clock Shop in Holodrum. She then gives Link a secret to be told to a friend of hers, who is located inside the cave. By digging behind the Clock Shop with his Shovel, Link reveals the staircase to the hidden cave. After telling the secret to the Old Man in the cave, the Old Man will wish to put Link to the test by pitting him against twelve enemies. If Link manages to defeat them all in 30 seconds or less, the Old Man will upgrade Link's Sword.

''Note: By upgrading Link's sword, the L-1 Wooden Sword becomes the L-2 Noble Sword. If Link already has the Noble Sword, it will become the L-3 Master Sword, the most versatile weapon in the game.''

Smith Secret
After completing the Crown Dungeon, a Subrosian appears next Mysterious Tree on Rolling Ridge in the past. After giving him advice concerning defense, the Subrosian gives Link a secret to be told to the master of the Subrosian Smithy. Telling this secret allows Link to have a new Shield forged for him by the masters of the Subrosian Smithy.

''Note: By upgrading Link's shield, the L-1 Wooden Shield becomes the L-2 Iron Shield. If Link already has the Iron Shield, it will become the L-3 Mirror Shield, the most powerful shield in the game.''

Pirate Secret
Following the completion of the Wing Dungeon, a little girl appears in the northern area of the South Shore (just south of the Black Tower). As pitfalls block the only path that leads to the girl, Link is only capable of reaching her with the Roc's Feather. The girl will say that she had forgotten to give her "lucky secret" to "that guy who went to Holodrum". She asks Link to transmit the secret to him, as without it, she fears the unlucky man will meet with disaster and "end up a bag of bones".

This person is actually one of the Piratians left behind at the House of Pirates when the others leave Holodrum. The Piratian, known as the "Unlucky Sailor", claims that their boat would never have been shipwrecked (and consequently he would not have been left behind) if he knew the secret to being lucky. As thanks for sharing the secret to being lucky, the Unlucky Sailor will increase the number of Bombs Link can carry (up to 50 if he has obtained the previous upgrade, up to 30 if not), but once he is carrying exactly 777 Ore Chunks.

Deku Secret
After Link has completed the Spirit's Grave, a Deku Scrub appears in the far western part of Deku Forest in the past. He sings a song that is apparently popular among Deku Scrubs at that time and tells Link a secret in the form of part of the song. He tells Link to tell this secret to another Deku Scrub living west of Sunken City. If Link finds this Deku Scrub, who lives in a cave near Moblin's Keep and can't quite remember the song, and tells him the secret, he will complete the song and the Deku Scrub will thank him by upgrading his Seed Satchel to hold more Mystical Seeds. Its capacity is upgraded to 50 if it is at the starting capacity of 20, and 99 if it has already been upgraded to 50.

Ruul Secret
Mayor Plen's grandmother appears alongside Plen in a linked. She tells Link to deliver a secret message from Mayor Plen to Horon Village's Mayor Ruul. Telling Ruul this secret leads to him giving Link an upgraded Ring Box that can hold more rings.

Graveyard Secret
A Ghini appears just outside Syrup's Potion Shop in Yoll Graveyard after the Spirit's Grave is completed. The Ghini asks Link if he believes what he sees. If Link says yes, the Ghini will teach him a secret, promising that something good will happen if he tells the secret to a Ghini inside the single grave with no flowers in Holodrum's Graveyard. The grave can be opened by digging behind the corresponding tombstone with the shovel (first row, second from the left). According to the special green-colored Ghini found inside, the grave is his "bedroom." The Ghini will put Link to the test: several red and blue versions of the Ghini (13 in all) will appear for a moment. After they disappear, Link must correctly answer which there were more of. When he successfully passes three consecutive rounds, the Ghini will "make him stronger" by giving the hero a Heart Container.

Biggoron Secret
A lone Goron appears in the highest cave on eastern Rolling Ridge in the present after the completion of the Crown Dungeon. The Goron tells Link of a sword which can only be forged by the hands of a mountain-sized Goron. The lone Goron tells Link the secret to forging the sword which he is to pass on to Biggoron perching atop Mt. Cucco. With this secret, Biggoron is able to reforge the sword once made by the reknowed Gorons of old. He forges the Great Goron's Sword from Goron Steel. Naming it Biggoron's Sword, he gives the first one to Link for making it possible.

Subrosian Secret
Another Subrosian also appears on Rolling Ridge in the present after Crown Dungeon, this time in a cave on the eastern edge of the ridge (next to Target Carts). He promises Link "something good" if the hero repeats his secret to his brother, who is found in a cave near the three peaks of the Subrosian Volcanoes. This golden Subrosian, glad to hear news from his brother, will ask Link to cut all the grass in the room with only three throws. After completing this task, the Subrosian gives Link Bombchus.

Diver Secret
After the completion of Mermaid's Cave, a man identical in appearance to the Master Diver appears on the beach above Zora Village. This man is apparently the Master Diver's senior pupil. From one pupil to another, the man asks Link to tell a secret to the Master Diver, who can be found in the home next to the city's entrance. Because the Master Diver is in a good mood, he will give Link a gift if the hero can pass his test. Link must acquire the star-shaped object (identical in appearance to the Star-Shaped Ore) at the end of an underwater race course in under 30 seconds to obtain the prize—the

Temple Secret
After completing the Wing Dungeon, a Great Fairy appears over the ruins of the dungeon in the present-age Fairies' Woods. She has a secret for another Great Fairy located in the innermost chamber of the Temple of Seasons, located behind a waterfall in the temple's main structure. The Great Fairy in the temple thanks Link for transmitting the message by giving him the.

King Zora Secret
With the Roc's Feather obtained in Poison Moth's Lair, Link is able to progress further into the Hero's Cave, where he will meet a lone Zora. This Zora, originally from Zora Village in Labrynna, says he was sent by King Zora in order to find the Zoras a new domain in Holodrum. However, he says there is no suitable location for the Zoras to settle in the land. The Zora asks Link to tell his secret and his report to the King Zora back in Labrynna. If Link does so, the King Zora will reward him by sharpening his Sword.

''Note: By upgrading Link's sword, the L-1 Wooden Sword becomes the L-2 Noble Sword. If Link already has the Noble Sword, it will become the L-3 Master Sword, the most versatile weapon in the game.''

Library Secret
In an abandoned home on the Western Coast resides a lone Ghini. This Ghini claims to have once been a librarian at the Eyeglass Island Library in Labrynna. While working at the library, he claims he heard a terrible secret. He says this secret is what transformed him into a Ghini, suggesting that the librarians made away with him for his knowledge of the mysterious secret. To "set things right", the Ghini tells Link the secret. If Link then tells it to the Old Man in the back room of the library in the past (where he obtained the Fairy Powder), the Old Man will offer to upgrade Link's Shield for his silence.

''Note: By upgrading Link's shield, the L-1 Wooden Shield becomes the L-2 Iron Shield. If Link already has the Iron Shield, it will become the L-3 Mirror Shield, the most powerful shield in the game.''

Troy Secret
After completing Poison Moth's Lair, a boy appears standing next to Guru-Guru near the Windmill east of Horon Village. This boy is in fact the senior pupil of Dr. Troy of Labrynna. He has a secret for his mentor, but since he is occupied with his studies, he requests that Link tell his secret instead. The biologist can be found at the Target Carts mini-game on Rolling Ridge. Dr. Troy will offer Link Bombchus as a reward, but only if he can hit all the targets in a game of Target Carts.

Tingle Secret
In a cave east of Snake's Remains resides a Great Fairy with a secret for the man who thinks he's a fairy. Back in Labrynna, Tingle will ask Link if he knows any "cooler" secrets than his. When Link tells him the Great Fairy's Secret, Tingle admits that Link is "far cooler than Tingle". As thanks for teaching him the secret, Tingle upgrades Link's Seed Satchel once again to hold 99 Mystical Seeds (having upgraded it from 20 to 50 earlier in ).

Symmetry Secret
After completing Snake's Remains, a girl will appear in Holly's home just east of the dungeon. The girl wishes to tell a touching secret to the authors of her favorite book, the twins residing in the Middle House in Symmetry Village of Labrynna. After telling the secret, the twins will thank Link by upgrading his Ring Box.

Fairy Secret
After meeting the Maku Tree for the first time in, Link can find a woman standing next to the water fountain near the center of Horon Village. This woman, after seeing the statue of the young hero erected in Lynna City after he defeated Veran and returned peace to Labrynna, decided she had to meet him. To honor their meeting, she teaches Link the "happiness secret" she learnt from the Fairies of Fairies' Woods. If Link tells his secret to the blue fairy, it will give Link some "happiness" as well, in the form of a whole Heart Container.

This is the very first secret available to Link in a Linked Game of.

Elder Secret
After curing Biggoron's cold with the Lava Soup obtained in the OoS:, a red Goron will appear in a cave in Goron Mountain just beneath Biggoron. This Goron claims to be the descendant of the Goron Elder, who travelled from Rolling Ridge in Labrynna to the mountains of Holodrum long ago. The Goron would like to ask his ancestor the meaning of a secret found within his diary which was left to the Goron. Link can do so by travelling to the Goron Shooting Gallery and telling the secret to the Goron Elder. However, having only thought of the secret in the future, the secret will be new to the elder. As thanks for teaching him a secret, the elder will reward Link with the powerful Biggoron's Sword, but only after having tested his skills with it in a game of target practice. If Link can score 300 or more points in the game, the sword is his.

Tokay Secret
After destroying the Great Moblin's keep, and visiting the Moblins in their refuge in Sunken City, a lone Moblin appears atop the Ruined Keep where the fortress once stood. The Moblin, after assuring Link that he is not an enemy, will wish to tell Link a rare secret related to the Tokay people of Labrynna. This secret is then told to the curator of the Wild Tokay Museum on Crescent Island in present-day Labrynna. The secret turns out to be the legendary Wild Tokay secret. After hearing it, the curator will wish to bring back the legendary Wild Tokay ceremony (a game that can be played regularly in the past). In order to help do so, Link must participate in the ceremony. After successfully completing the mini-game, the curator will upgrade the number of Bombs Link can hold.

Plen Secret
At Lava Lake, next to the Bomb Flower that was used to unblock the Tower of Autumn, stands a golden Subrosian. Apparently, Mayor Plen from Lynna City in Labrynna has done much for this Subrosian. He wishes to thank him, but is too shy to do so himself. As such, he tells Link a secret to be relayed to the mayor. The mayor will thank Link for telling him the message from the "oddly dressed out-of-towner" by giving him the unappraised Spin Ring.

Mamamu Secret
After completing the Poison Moth's Lair (accessed by opening the floodgates using the Floodgate Key), a woman will appear in the home of the Floodgate Keeper. This woman is in fact the mother of Mamamu Yan, who wishes for Link to tell a secret to her daughter. After doing this favor, Mamamu Yan will request Link's aid; she has lost her dog somewhere in Lynna City and will ask Link to return it. After finding the dog (located randomly somewhere in Lynna City) and returning it to its owner, she will reward the young hero with the unnapraised Snowshoe Ring.

'' Warning:  When beginning the mini-game, a glitch may occur where the dog disappears and can never be found. To avoid irreparable harm, it is recommended to save the game before giving the secret to Mamamu Yan.
