Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Cheats (GameBoy Advance)

The Chickens found in Kakariko Village and other areas have a vendetta against you; that
is, of course, if you attack them. Hit a chicken enough with your various weapons, whether
it be sword, arrow, bomb, whatever, and the chickens will come from all directions to peck
you! It's a storm of chickens! Not really a useful secret, but a good one none-the-less,
wouldn't you say?

During the Light World fight with Agahnim, he turns into a shadow, and moves around like
that. If you bring up the map exactly when he is turning from shadow to real form, his
colors will be really distorted, or he will look transparent, just like the 2 fake ones
during the second fight. If you keep doing it, his colors will keep changing.

The running man in Kakariko Village, that dashes away from you each time you approach, can
actually be caught up to. To catch him, run towards him with the Pegasus Shoes. It'll take
some practice, but you can catch up to him. Nothing useful happens though, he just tells
you about some various things that aren't very important. Still, it's fun to be able to
catch him.

On Death Mountin--use the Magic Mirror halfway through the dungeon under Turle Rock.

On the west side of Death Mountain, you will find a cave that leads back down. 

Enter the Lost Woods and go to the northwest corner. With all three pendants, you'll be
able to take the Master Sword. 

When you leave the glade, Zelda will tell you that soldiers are coming to the sanctuary. 

Hurry to the Sanctuary. The priest will tell you that soldiers took Zelda to the castle
before he passes away. 

Enter the castle and climb up onto the walls. Use your sword to break the barrier in front
of the door and enter. 

Climb up the castle tower to the 7th floor. There you will watch Agahnim send Zelda to the
Dark World and the seal of the seven wise men will be broken. 

Go to the back of the room and sweep away the curtains with your sword. 

You will have to fight Agahnim on the balcony. You can not hurt the wizard directly, but
hit the magic he throws at you with your sword to rebound it back to him. 

Once you have defeated the wizard, he will draw you into the Dark World.

A fairly important secret, the Waterfall of Wishing provides Link the opportunity to
upgrade two of his very important items, his Shield and his Boomerang. The Waterfall of
Wishing is located at the end of the river in which you get the Flippers from Zora, but on
the opposite end of the river. Pass by the Witch's Hut, move the green stone to gain
access to the river, and you'll be in the general vicinity. You need the Flippers to
access the Waterfall of Wishing, however. Read the signs in the area to find its location,
and then jump into the water. Swim north into a waterfall and you'll be in a secret cave.
Now, approach the pond in the cave and it'll ask you to throw an item into the water.
Throw your Shield in the water to get the Red Shield back, and your Boomerang in the water
to get the Magical Boomerang back, both free of charge.

At the beginning of the game, Link is in his uncle's home when he hears a call for help
from Zelda. Link's uncle will leave the house equiped for battle and tell Link to stay
inside. 

Get out of bed and open the chest to find the Lamp. 

Leave the house and go north to the castle. The Castle gate will be closed and a guard
will tell you to leave. 

Follow the castle walls to the right and then north. Pick up the bush at the end of the
path and fall into the hole. 

You will find your uncle who has been injured. He will give you his sword and shield and
tell you to rescue Zelda. 

When you leave the passage you will be inside the castle gardens. From here you can enter
the castle. 

Take the stairs at the back of the first level to the first basement level. 

Defeat the soldier to get the key to open the locked door. Look inside the treasure chest
to find a map of the castle. 

In the northwest corner of the second basement level, kill the guard to open the doors
that have locked you in. 

Enter the room to the right to get a key from the guard and the Boomerang from the chest. 

Use the key to open the door to the north to get to the lowest basement level. 

Defeat the enemy with the ball and chain to get the Big Key. Throwing the pots at him will
make the battle easier. 

Unlock Zelda's cell and speak with her. 

Return to the front room of the first level and Zelda will tell you to go to the throne
room. 

You will find the throne room on the second floor. Push the ornamental shelf from the left
side and a passage will be revealed behind it. 

The next area is very dark. Use your lamp on the torches to light up the area. It will
only last for a little while, however. 

Continue through the sewers and eventually you will reach an area that is lit up. Push the
center block up to get to the stairs. 

In the second room of the 1st floor, pull the level on the right to open the door. 

Go through the door and you will be in the sanctuary where Zelda will be safe. The priest
will tell you you need the Master Sword to defeat Agahnim. He believes that the village
elder may know where it is and will mark his house on your map. Take the heart container
from the chest to increase you life.

Under the items for A Link To The Past, the Roc's Cape is listed. However, it is really
the Magic Cape. The Roc's Cape is only in The Four Swords.

Before you go to Turtle Rock, go to the bomb shop south of the pyramid and buy the super
bomb. Drag the bomb behind you and go to the pyramid. Press the A button when you are in
front of the large plate with the crack in it on the pyramid and the bomb will blow open a
hole. Throw your sword into the water and the faerie will power it up. Also throw your bow
and arrows in and she will give you the silver arrows which you need to kill Ganon. 

To get to the last palace on Turtle Rock, use the flute to get to Death Mountain in the
Light World and make your way to the northeast corner of the mountain. 

On Turtle Rock, hammer the east post, then the north post, and finally the west post and a
portal to the dark world will appear. 

In the Dark World, cast Quake on the Quake tile to open the entrance into the dungeon. 

Use the Cane of Somaria on the question mark to create a tile that you can use to follow
the line across the chasm. 

In the next room, go through the north door on the east side of the area. Light the four
torches with the Firerod as you pass by them and then quickly go through the open door. At
the end of the next room you will find a key and the map. 

Go to the northwest corner of the large center room and defeat the bouncing enemy for
another key. 

In the next room, hit the crystal from a distance so that it is blue and push the top
block on the left side to reveal a chest containing a key. Open the door and descend to
the next level. 

On the next floor, enter the pipe from the bottom-right corner of the room. 

Enter the lower pipe in the next room. Go through the room at the other end of the pipe
and you'll be able to get the Big Key from the chest. 

Return to the 1st large room and then go to the second large one. Enter the top pipe this
time and go south, then west. 

Place a bomb on the south wall and go through the passageway. Use the Cane of Somaria on
the other side of the passageway to get to the Mirror Shield. This shield will reflect
laser beams. 

Go north from the big chest to get to the next level. 

Find your way to the center of the next area and step on the button to open the door. Go
to the southwest corner of the room to get to the next room. (Tip: Shoot your Hook Shot
just before the fire hits you and you will not get hurt.) 

If you have the Mirror Shield, you'll be able to get the key from a chest in the
south-most room. 

Descend to the lowest level so that you can fight the boss. 

Use the Icerod to stun the blue head so you can hit it with your sword and use the Firerod
to stun the blue head and destroy that one with your sword as well. Hit the blinking part
of the boss several times to destroy it and you will free Zelda.

Go west from Turtle Rock to Ganon's Tower. The seven maidens will use their power to break
Ganon's seal so that you may enter the tower. 

Descend to the 1st floor using the stairs on the left. Knock the key off the pillar and go
left. 

Knock down the moles using your hammer and then push the middle block. Underneath is a
star tile which will allow you to get to the door on the left. 

Use your Hook Shot to get to the south end of the next room. Hit the crystal to make it
blue, set a bomb, and quickly pass over the blue blocks before they pop back up again. 

In the next room, place a bomb next to the crystal on the left and hurry across the red
blocks before they pop up. If you place the bomb too close to the crystals, they will both
trigger and the the crystals will stay red. 

In the room at the other end of the teleporter, push the block standing by itself near the
west side of the area to make a treasure chest appear and use your Hook Shot to get over
the chasm. 

Step on the right teleporter, then on the one below you, then the one on the bottom-left
corner of the room. After two more teleporters, you'll be out of those rooms. 

In the next room, go to the northwest corner of the room and use the Firerod on the torch
to the right. Hurry across the bridge that appears before the torch goes out and you can
no longer see the bridge. 

Place a bomb in the bottom-right corner of the room and fall into the hole to the
basement. 

Defeat the knights with your bow and silver arrows. It will be trickier to beat them than
the first time because the floor is all ice, but with the Silver Arrows, they will die
with one hit. Take the Big Key from the chest in the room to the north. 

Ascend to the 1st floor and take the Red Mail from the chest. 

Return to the 2nd floor and then climb up to the 3rd. 

Push the block in the northwest corner of the 1st room to open the door. 

In the 4th room, the button to open the door is underneath the middle skull below. 

At the end of the 4th floor, you will have to fight the boss from the Desert Palace again.
With the most powerful sword, however, two hits will kill each of the worms. 

Cast Ether and the bridge in the 1st room will flash, or try to find it by trial and
error. Defeat the three wizards and the door will open. 

In the room with the four torches and the spinning flames, pick up all the skulls so that
the torches aren't blocked, light all four torches with the Firerod, and quickly run to
the exit before the door closes. 

On the 6th floor, light all four torches in the 1st room to open the door. 

In the third room, use a bomb and quickly throw it against the wall so that it is carried
to the left and will blow up at the right time. 

At the end of this floor, you will have to fight the boss from the Tower of Hera again.
Try not to get knocked off the side. 

Use your Hook Shot to get over to the chest that just appeared and go to the top floor. 

Use the same technique to defeat Agahnim as in your previous battle. Deflect the beams so
that they hit the real wizard and not the images. 

Once you have defeated Agahnim, Ganon will leave the wizard's body, turn into a bat, and
fly to the pyramid. Link will use the flute and follow him.

Earn ten medals in the Four Swords mode to start the riddle quest with the Lumberjack in
Link to the Past. Finish the Riddle Quest to obtain the "Hurricane Blade" skill.

Complete the Ice Palace followed by the Misery Mire Maze. Go to your house in the Dark
World and buy the orange and white bomb.

Go to the cave with the Ice Rod, and go into the non-secret entrance, not the one leading
to the Ice Rod. Dash into the statue at the end of the passage, and a Golden Bee will pop
out. Catch it, and take it to the guy who refuses to sell you the Golden Bees. He will say
that they are not as rare as he thought they were and will begin selling Golden Bees.

Leave the sanctuary and go west. Follow the signs to Kakariko Village. 

Enter the building that's marked with an X on your map and speak to the village elder's
wife. She will tell you that the elder has gone into hiding. 

Go to the very northwest corner of the village and drop into the hole next to the cave.
Inside you will find bombs. Use the bombs on the weak part of the wall in the cave to find
a piece of a heart container. 

Enter the green building next to the elder's house and use another bomb on the north wall
in the basement to find another piece of a heart container. 

Speak to the bottle merchant and give him 100 rupees for a bottle. 

Use your last bomb on the small hut in the southwest corner to create an entrance. Inside
you will find more bombs and some arrows. 

Speak to the boy near the south part of town who is standing beside some chickens and he
will tell you where the elder is hiding. 

Near the southeast corner of the town you will find the inn. Enter the building from the
back to find another bottle. 

Speak to the sick boy in the building north of the inn and he will lend you his Bug
Catching Net. You can catch bees and farries with this and store them in an empty bottle.

Fall into the pit in the pyramid to confront Ganon. 

Attack Ganon with your sword as much as you can. His attacks will change as you hurt him.
First he will throw his pitchfork at you, then he will surround himself with a ring of
flames which will turn into bats and fly at you. After that he will stomp on the ground
and tiles around the wall will fall away. If you fall in the space there, you will have to
start the battle all over again. 

After you have hurt Ganon enough, he will begin his secret technique of darkness. Light
both of the torches and the light will temporarily blind him. Hit him with you sword while
both torches are lit to stun him and then hit him with three Silver Arrows to finish him
off. 

Step into the next room and you will receive the Triforce. Peace will return to Hyrule.

When you see a ex-fairy (a skull with four red blocks on it) sprinkle magic powder on it
and it will turn into a fairy.

Jump off Spectacle Rock (near the first warp pad you find in the game) in the Light World
and land on top of the cave entrance. You will go into the cave, but the screen change
animation will glitch. You will appear in the middle of the screen, but none of the
buttons (except Start and Select) will do anything. The only thing you can do at this
point is save and quit the game.

Play Link to the Past and get the Master Sword in the Lost Woods (you will need all three
amulets for this). Once you have the Master Sword, save your game. When you quit and start
the game again, a message will confirm that you can now use the Sword Beam (when your
heart meter is full) in Four Swords as well.
