  2. Increase health and stamina with Lizards and Fruit.

    The white lizards crawling around in many areas of the game can be eaten to increase Stamina. Equip the bow and shoot the lizard, then press the Circle button to pick up and eat it.

    Many of the trees within the game carry Fruit that can be used to restore and increase your Maximum Health slightly.
    Equip the bow and shoot at the Fruit hanging in the tree, once it drops go over and press the Circle button to eat it.

  3. The Short Way to the Secret Garden.

    You do not need to beat the game 4 times to reach the secret garden. All you have to do is familiarize yourself with the diagonal jump. When you grab a climbable wall (usually indicated by the moss growing on it), you have to hold jump and the left analog stick diagonally up until your character swings his arm, depending on what direction you tilted the analog stick. Once he does this, let go of jump and you will scale the wall diagonally without using a large amount of stamina.

    Before you decide to reach the secret garden, it is advisable to complete about 7 colossi for the sole reason of acquiring enough stamina to take on this task. You could also search for white-tailed lizards as an alternative to gain stamina.

    To reach the secret garden, you have to locate the wall of ivy on the northeast side of the temple shrine. If you use your horse and jump off of him towards the wall of ivy, you will save even more stamina. Now, follow it all the way up until you reach a ledge on the right. Go around it while still using the diagonal jump to save stamina. On the opposite side, leap across to the visible moss and keep going around the second ledge above. Once you get to other side, you have to go around yet another ledge, which is a little bit below your position. You will reach a circular pillar that you have to jump onto. This is easily done by situating yourself directly opposite of it and then jumping across. Hold on and keep going up. The moss will lead you a little bit towards the left to a small walkway. Follow the stairs to the secret garden. Enjoy, but do not eat the fruit, as it will decrease your health permanently.

  3. Time Attack Item Exploit

    It's possible to unlock all Time Attack (Hard) Items without doing the 16 Time Attacks in Hard Mode. First finish the game, afterwards go to new game + and pick "Normal Mode" . Afterwards finish all 16 Time Attacks to unlock all normal time attack items in the pool. Take note that after unlocking all items don't pick any of them or this exploit won't work. Afterwards save manually and exit the game. At the Title Screen pick new game + and now pick "Hard Mode". After the cutscene, go to the pool and you'll end up having multiple cutscenes. If this happens, the exploit worked and all the items in the pool are Hard Time Attack Items instead of the normal ones.
