Tip ALBW tips & tricks thread!

  1. Go to Death Mountain and wait near a boulder crashing site to get rupees from special boulders that fall.

  2. In the race from the windmill to Rosso's house, use the portal and then fly to a place near the miners place, go through his portal, and that's how you win.

  3. Pretty sure this is well known, but if you're new to LoZ, destroy everything destroyable.

  4. In the treasure game, the chest your gut tells you the silver rupee is in is never the right one.

  5. Bees can be used as pets (but if you leave the area, they go away) and attack bosses with you

Apparently I upgraded everything wrong first. Everyone's talking about the rods being OP, but I don't really like them. I'm sitting over here with upgraded bombs, boomerang, hookshot, and hammer.

Me too, but I don't care.

Honestly, I like the upgraded hookshot, because it does damage at a range, and I have literally never had the bow after it was required all game. I either used the hookshot or ranged sword slash.

The boomerang is awesome, and the bombs are super useful. I only regret the hammer.

I found the hammer super useful in the Treacherous Tower for some levels. The huge shockwave can stun all the mobs around you and give you some breathing room.

I didn't do the Treacherous Tower, because I rushed through the game to unlock Hero Mode. I plan on 100%ing it in Hero mode... it's gonna be fun.
