Sailing Music in Windfall Island
Effect: The Ocean Overworld Theme will play in Windfall Island

Prerequisites: Ability to play Song of Passing, the Deku Leaf, access to Zunari's Shop after expansion

How To: In Zunari's Shop on Windfall Island, there are rugs where the shop is (once it has been expanded to a regular store). Play the Song of Passing on one of the rugs in Zunari's roof. In order to get to the roof, use the Deku Leaf once completed,the music will change to the Ocean Overworld song. It must be nighttime first, and then switched to daytime in order for it to work.

Unlimited Elixir Soup
Effect: Never run out of Elixir Soup

Prerequisites: A bottle of Elixir Soup, empty bottle

How To: Equip some Elixir Soup, then press the button you assigned it to and the start button at the same time. Then, on the items screen, swap the bottle of Elixir Soup with an empty bottle. Link will drink the Elixir Soup. If you press start, the original Elixir Soup will still be there, as well as half a bottle of it. This can be repeated with the other bottles.

Shooting The King of Red Lions for Rupees
Effect: Ability to shoot the King of Red Lions in the Canon mini-game for points

Prerequisites: Access to the Canon mini-game on Spectacle Island

How To: In this glitch you will need to go to Spectacle Island, and dock your boat where you would fire in the Cannon mini-game. Start the barrel shoot minigame and aim for the King of Red Lions. When hit, the King of Red Lions won't blow up, but the shot still counts as a point. Thus making it easier to acquire prizes.

Sea Hat Glitch
Effect: Freeze a Sea Hat Freeze a Sea Hat, and make it move in the direction you are Prerequisites: Boomerang, access to an island with Sea Hats

How To: Go to an island where Sea Hats live, like Horseshoe Island. Lure one to hover above the ground, then throw the Boomerang at it. If done correctly, when its propeller drops off, and lands on ground, it will become frozen on ground. If you walk near it, it will move in the direction you are walking.

Make the Killer Bees Disappear
Effect: Make the Killer Bees vanish

Prerequisites: Access to Windfall island

How To: Head to Windfall Island, dock your boat and go to the upper clearing where Linda stands, Ms. Marie's School of Joy and Lenzo's pictobox gallery is located. A group of four little kids (The Killer Bees) should start to circle you. Lure them over the the staircase where Linda stands, the one that leads up to Mila's (then Maggie's) house (with the red door). Walk anywhere within the clearing and they will follow you; however, it is tricky because they will walk away if you're out of bounds. You need to stand at the side of the staircase that leads down further into town. Now, as the Killer Bees circle you, pick one out and start pushing him down the walkway, but make sure he's slammed against the staircase wall as you go. Just walking into them will push them along. Talking to him a little can help, as they usually pause a few seconds after you talk to them. Get about one third of the way down, at least past the leaves hanging over the wall from under the staircase. If done correctly, once you run back up the path, the Killer Bee member should start running into the wall toward the direction of the rest of the Bees, and disapear into the wall! You can repeat this process for all of the Bees.

Note: They will reapear again if you walk into a building, warp, etc.

Windmill Reset
Effect: Restart at the beginning of Windfall Island

Prerequisites: Song of Passing, access to the Windmill on Windfall Island after it has activated

How To: Once you have learned the Song of Passing and activated the Windmill on Windfall Island, jump into one of the Windmill carts. Wait until your're at the bottom of the rotation, then stand on the very edge of the cart, either the left or right side. Play the Song of Passing; this works at night or in daytime. You should see the time of day change, but then Link will yell and fall out of the cart. Link will wake up at the docks.

Pigs swim on land
Effect: Pig on Windfall Island will have ripples aroudn it, as if swimming, on land

Prerequisites: Three Skull necklaces (to play the Pig-Sitting game), access to Windfall Island

How To: On Windfall Island, find all three pigs and throw them into the ocean. Then, hand three skull necklaces to the guy by the bomb shop, and he'll ask if you want to play the Pig-Sitting game. Chose yes, and when you go to the pig on the upper level (by Tott and the gravestone) it will have ripples around it as if its swimming, but on land. The other pigs will not run away from you, but glide over the ground slowly.
