    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.

  4. 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.

You can choose any level, the cost is free, the time limit is raised to 4:00:00, and you cannot win any Rupees. Also, as an added bonus, once you beat 8-8, Hena will fill your wallet completely!

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Cheats For Wii U

  1. Colossal Wallet

    The Wolf Link amiibo is needed to even get to the place where the item is located. There is a third wallet upgrade in the game known as the Colossal Wallet that can be found only in the Cave of Shadows. You must have first acquired the first two wallet upgrades from the bug hunting sidequest before being able to get the Colossal Wallet. I recommend waiting till you have all the Heart Containers since you'll be running a huge gauntlet for this. Use the Wolf Link amiibo on the "Collection" screen during gameplay and choose to save the game and enter the Cave of Shadows. It will take three trips to get a shot at the Colossal Wallet and you'll be stuck in wolf form for the entire trip to the dungeon. Midna will not let you transform back cause you're required to do it in wolf form. After the first two trips to the Cave of Shadows you'll be able to go through the rest of the rooms to the end. Once you clear the last room drop down to find what will look like the same kind of cloud that the Great Fairy is enveloped in when you reached the special chambers in the Cave of Ordeals. Talk to the one there and you'll be given the Colossal Wallet for making it there. This wallet upgrade increases the max Rupee count to 9999.

  2. Faster Mortal draw

    If you roll towards an enemy then perform Mortal draw, Link will only do the last frames of the attack but it will still connect, making it quicker than if used normally. Doing it this way can bypass enemy shields.

    Contributed by: Nei_Vale 

  3. Easy Ganon - Final Phase

    Just as in the past releases of the game, you can use the fishing rod to distract Ganon during the last phase of the battle. When you get close to Ganon and use your fishing rod, his head will turn. He will then let you get a few free hits in with your sword without blocking. This can be done over and over again until you're able to get the final blow in.
