Easter Eggs

  1. Control a Cucco!

    Unlike other Zelda games (where you got attacked if you hit the Cuccos), in Twilight Princess if you hit a Cucco about 8 times, you'll be able to control it for a short period of time.

Secrets

  1. Donation Reduction

    Donate 1000 rupees to Goron inside the Malo Mart in Kakariko Village (you must progress past the third dungeon beforehand). Talk to the old Goron outside the shop and complete the quest he offers. Once completed, the second donation amount will be reduced from 2000 to 200 rupees.
  2. Easily discover Heart Pieces

    To easily find the locations of all Heart Pieces, go to Fanadi's Palace in Hyrule Castle Town and pay her 10 Rupees for a Love fortune. You will then see an area in the game that will contain a Heart Piece around it, obtainable in some fashion. You can keep paying her to show you other locations, but she will sometimes repeat the same location a few times over.
  3. Worms for fishing

    If you go into the fishing hole behind the sign at the very entrance there will 3 little mounds of dirt.

    Turn into the wolf and dig these up, earth worms will appear, scoop them up in an empty bottle and use them as bait for your fishing hook to make fishing extra easy!

  4. Distract the final boss

    In the final boss battle, cast the fishing rod to distract him and get in a few easy hits.
  1. Defeat unarmored Darknuts without using Hidden Skills

    L-target and perform four sword thrusts by tilting up on the control stick and pressing B. Make sure to leave enough room so only the fourth thrust connects. The Darknut will then swing its sword twice; immediately after the second swing, perform a Jump Slash on the Darknut. This will cause the Darknut to raise its sword in the air, leaving you free to attack it.
