The Game Bugs

Zelda 64 World

Regular Glitches - All versions

Get Extra Bottles: You need 1 Empty bottle and a useless item (Claim Check after you get Biggoron's Sword or Magic Beans when you planted all 10) to do this. Swing the bottle at a bug or fish. When the bottle is in midair replace it with the useless item. Voila! A new bottle! However, people still treat it like the item it was before.
 
Get the Ocarina of Time without the Spiritual Stones: Yeah...you heard me right. This is what you must do. You know the get more bottles trick,Before meeting Zelda for the first time replace the Fairy Ocarina with a bottle. Now go meet Zelda. When Impa teaches you Zeldas Lullaby you will not pull out the Fairy Ocarina, you will pull out the Ocarina of Time.

Make Navi Stay: Go to the Temple of Time as an adult. Read the inscription on the altar and then get up on the altar. Stand in between the Goron and Zora stones and play Saria's Song. Say yes, and it will say "Hi Link, this is Saria. Can you hear me?" If you did it right that's all she says. Then, when you jump off the altar, Navi will stay on there! The temple will be a lot darker. But if you leave the Temple she comes with you. Oh well it's fun while it lasts.

Fishing outside the pond: Pay to go fishing. Make sure you have the hover boots on. walk onto the water, turn towards the door, and cast. Now run out the door. You stole the fishing rod! Just don't get caught ;-).

The chicken in the Windmill - It is possible to get into a hidden corridor inside the windmill with the Longshot. Now the thing of this is, by the time you are able to get to the hidden area in the windmill then you already have access to the other rooftops in Kakariko so using to the cucco to drift onto a roof would be pointless, and since you can't get in there as a kid, then what is the point of having a single cucco up inside the Windmill?

Getting Stuck: In Kakariko Village there is a room with fat woman in it who says something to the effect that dinner isn't ready yet. Just for kicks I managed to squeeze myself between the corner and the fat woman. The problem was, I couldn't get out. I pressed every button possible. It just kept saying, the woman's stupid message about dinner. I ended up having to reset the game.

Game Box Oops: This spelling error is legitimate, on the back of the box there is a sentance that includes the word "enivironments." Thats wrong, it should be "environments."

Water Temple Glitch: As kid Link, warp to Lake Hylia. If you don't have the warp song you can walk. Dive under the water near the water temple gate (Golden Scale Reccomended) and you will hear a creak and boom. You won't be able to reach it even with the Gold Scale, but what you did was open the Water Temple early!
 

Glitches that could wreck your game
 
Disclaimer: Zelda 64 World is not responsible for loss of saved data due to using these glitches. If you screw up ur game it's not my fault. I reccomend buying a second or maybe even third copy of Zelda to try these glitches, just incase. And FYI most of these will only work on the Cartridge version of Zelda.
 

Gannon Battle Glitch: This glitch is pretty cool but may mess up your game. When fighting Gannon, first make sure the arena is clear then find one of the structures that's half in, half out of the fire. Go as far as you can on the larger structure and let Gannon hit you. You should fly backwards and you will be stuck half in and half out of the ring of fire. It's kind of funny because Gannon tries to hit you but he can't reach you .

P.S. You won't be able to move.

Crooked Cartridge: Get past nonwall obsticles! Just pull the left side of the cartridge out while slowly pushing up on the control stick until Link is invisible and the sound is screwed up. Now you can walk past nonwall obsticles. This is also a stepping stone for other cool glitches.

Zelda64Gld's Crap Code: Zelda64Gld's Crap Code is an interesting glitch. It really shows how messed up the game can get and how many glitches were left in. Random Butler, the guy who discovered this, should be recognized for his work. What you're not supposed to see will now be revealed...

Step 1. Play any song that will warp you, or Saria's Song.

Step 2. When the words appear that tell you what song you played, pull out the left side of cartridge just enough so that Link disappears, being careful not to freeze the game.

Now the tricky part:

Step 3. Quickly after this screen disappears, before the next screen pops up, quickly push the left side of the cartridge back in. Be careful not to pull the right side out. For those of us who are right handed, keep the right part of your hand pushing down on the right side of the cart. If done right you won't see a the little yellow line in the corner until you see some letters or words or crap.

More help: You will see some cool crap. Sometimes it just scrolls across the screen and freezes. Sometimes it scrolls all the way across the screen and stops. Sometimes it scrolls across and comes to the other side of the screen. When you see the crap, but the game does not freeze, wait for a few seconds and a little blue arrow will appear. Low and behold, just when you think it's done, sometimes 20 more screens of crap will appear. If you see the little blue square, and hit A, the text box will disappear with the game frozen. There are hundreds of different results for this code.

Here are some of my best results:

#1: "100$" and I heard a shudder as in the beginning cut scene.

#2: "00'00'{Z button symbol}00'00'{Z button symbol}00'00'{Z button symbol}00'00'{Z button symbol}00'00'{Z button symbol}00'00'{Z button symbol}00'00'{Z button symbol}00'00'{Z button symbol}" and etc. This repeated and overlapped on my screen twice.

#3: "Á", then "Á", then "Á", then "Á", then "Á", then "Á", then "Ateteta" then "Á", then "Á", then "Á", then "Á"

#4: "O" Then it zoomed out and got dark.

#5: "B ïhé ä ÁhÏxÈ ëhB ïhe ÁpÈ"

#6: "drlm the Gpe't F'ipy$s"

#7. Nothing happened and I was able to walk around with just Link and the Temple of Time. No buttons. No life bar. No magic bar.

You can get all kinds of weird symbols, especially a lot of international letters. Some symbols are $, Ç, |, @, arrows, and many others. Very weird...

Video Gamer X's Debug Code: While playing, pull the cart out slowly until the game messes up. The game will freeze, and a yellow line will appear. Remember to leave the cart crooked while typing the code, and remember all directions are in the D-Pad.

L button + R button + Z button
Control pad UP + "C" DOWN
"C" UP + Control pad DOWN
Control pad LEFT + "C" button left
"C" RIGHT + Control pad RIGHT
A button + B button + Start Button
The debug/error code will not be shown unless you push each button. Example: in the first step you must push the Z button while HOLDING the L and the R.

You will then see a bunch of hidden coding. It also tells you the game's release date. You will see stuff like "RCP is Hung Up!"  "Oh! My God!!"

Reprogram The Game!!: This Glitch requires the Gameshark. Pop it in and use a code like Yellow Tunic, etc. Go here: http://ns.webnetinc.com/~max/zgamesrk.html for GameShark codes.

After entering the codes of your choice, go do the Video Gamer X Debug Code. Then save & reset. Your file will be erased, but those codes will be implemented permanentley! 

See What an URA Zelda file would have looked like: First, you have to have beaten the game. Meaning, if you've beat Gannon, saw the end, and then kept playing, you're OK. And you need an empty file.

1. Turn on your Nintendo 64 with Zelda in it.

2: Do Crooked Cartridge (above) until the sound becomes garbled noise. (Don't you hate it??) Do not pust the cart back in until I say so.

3: Select the empty file. Give it a beautiful name of your choice and then say end.

4: Open your beautiful new file. Try playing it. Your game will crash. (arrgh)

5: Push the cart back in and reset.

The file select screen should now have a file (or maybe two or three) which are 'greyed out', next to the greyed out files is a small tag that says "disk". Note that any save games not turned into 'URA Zelda' files will be erased. The 'URA Zelda' save files cannot be played because there is no N64DD with a Zelda disk in it attached, that's why they're greyed out.

You can't do anything with the files. If you try to copy or delete it, the game will crash and say: 

Hungup on Thread 4

Hungup . . /graph c:957

(NULL)

To get rid of them try screwing around with the files with CC on. Who knows the old files may come back. If you can't get rid of them or have screwed up your game trying, use some kind of fix/debugger to wipe all the files.

Glitches that Require Swordless Link

Swordless Link: Go to the final Ganon Battle. Lose your sword. Save and reset. You now have 'Swordless Link' on, which is required to use some glitches (see below). This might not work on the newer, less buggy versions. 

Get Under the Zora's Domain Ice as an Adult: Go to Lake Hylia and walk out to the place above the entrance to Zora's domain with Epona. Face Epona straight out towards the water with Z. Use your ocarina to get off. Keeping facing that direction, and put on your iron boots. Then, walk off the edge. Wait till you sink to the bottom. Hit A and very quickly pause it. You should be under the ground. Put on your Koroki boots and face towards the entrance to Zora's Domain. Use your iron boots and keep switching the two while swimming towards it, being careful not to float through the ground. When to get to it, You will warp and is under the Zora's Domain ice. You can shoot things through it! But be careful to wear your iron boots, because you will also pass through the ice!

Purple Haze: With Swordless Link on, go to Lon Lon Ranch. Accept the Obstacle Course from Marin/Malon, and then while racing play the Song of Storms on your Ocarina. Walla! Purple Haze! 

Adult Link with a Deku Stick: With Swordless Link on, go to the forest temple. Beat a Big Deku Baba and when you collect the stick press Start while it is still over your head. Save and Reset. Open your file, you'll be in the Temple of Time with a Deku Stick equipped! Push B and navi will give you the message of when you first became adult, "Looks like you can't use some items you got as a kid link!" Then it will freeze!

Cheat at the Obstacle Course: Do the Purple Haze trick at the desirable time, 20 seconds will be our example. At 20 seconds, do the purple haze trick, then go in and then out of a building. Talk to Marin and your record will be 20 seconds!

Red Haze: Do the Purple Haze trick during the Gerudo Horseback Archery. You will see Red haze instead of Purple. I wonder what would happen If I did this against the running man...
