Secrets

Reduce price of three Tingle Abilites

Stand on the green striped awning on Windfall Island and three of Tingle's items will be reduced by 10 rupees.

Reduce the price of the Tingle Things by half.

On the first floor of the Forsaken Fortress there is a metal pot. If you jump into it with the Tingle Tuner activated, Tingle will tell you that the price of his Tingle Things price has been dropped.

Easy Rupees

All you have to do is when you are in the WIND TEMPLE and you are outside the boss room, break the jar on the left side closest to the boss door and a bunch of different colored rupees will fly out. pick them up and jump into the magic cauldron and teleport to the first jar you uncovered. jump in the one you just popped out of and keep doing that until you get back to the boss door. Then break the jar again and all the rupees will be there again. Repeat the process as many times as you like.

Secret Money Pot

On Outset Island there is a spot that can be scanned with the tingle tuner to make a pot appear. To get to the spot you will need to go to eastern part of it near your grandmas house. There are some cliffs farther back that arent that difficult to reach. Sidle to the first cliff then change the wind to the east. Then use your deku leaf and float to the second one. Once you land on the spot tingle will tell you that you found the secret and a pot wil appear with 100 rupees in it. This is an easy way to get money, to do it over just change the day and come back to the spot.
