The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Cheats, Codes, Hints, Tips
Hint: Bottle Locations
First Bottle - Buy it for 100 rupees from the man in Kakariko village.
Second Bottle - Enter the Kakariko pub through the backdoor. You will find a chest. Inside it is the bottle.
Third Bottle - You need the Flippers. Go to Lake Hylia and swim at the upper right corner. You will reach a path. Keep going until you see a bridge. Go under the bridge there is a man sleeping beside a tent. Talk to him to get the third bottle.
Fourth Bottle - You need access to the dark world and the Dark world village. You'll also need Titan gloves. Go to the gossip shop (the blacksmith's house equivalent in the dark world). Talk to the chest and it will tell you that you cannot unlock it. As you walk out, it will follow you. Use the magic mirror to bring you back to the light world. The chest should still be with you. Walk (don't teleport) to the place near the desert entrance wherein you will see a man sitting beside a sign. Talk to him and promise that you will keep his secret. He will open the chest and Inside the chest is the last bottle.
Hint: Dumb Rupees
There's a cave under a big rock just before you enter the desert (in the western part of the Overworld) where a thief is surrounded by pots. If you enter the cave and smash the pots for rupees, you can get 50 rupees each time.
Hint: Level Four Sword
Once you get the tempered Master Sword, go to where you got the silver arrows and throw the sword in. If done correctly, the fairy will give you the level four sword which is gold in color.
Hint: Palace of the Four Sword
The Palace of the Four Sword is a secret level that is only available on the GBA version of A Link to the Past. To unlock this level, you must defeat Ganon in A Link to the Past and you must defeat Vaati in the Silver Key quest in Four Swords.
