Hey guys... This is an oldschool code i just read on planetgamecube.com

Remember the old save method in the original zelda game for the NES? Players
would have to hold the reset button while powering off to ensure that thier
saved games would stay saved.

This has been incorporated into the Wind Waker! to access the second quest,
start a game, save, and then hold the reset button the cube WHILE POWERING
OFF.
Do this three times, and when you start, enter "Zelda" as your character
name and start a new game...

The second, and much harder quest is now available to you!!!

if you didnt get it at first, april fools. i think this is an original joke.
there isnt anything at PGC about it, i just made it up last night.

well, actually, it sounds like your typical ridiculous difficult to do
convoluted course of actions with a super-amazing payoff, like how you
play as sheng long in street fighter II, or getting the all bonds code
in goldeneye.

in other words, typical april fools' prank :) very well done.

I hear that if you beat both OoT and Master Quest in the bonus disc you
unlock the sky temple and get the triforce. Also, once you've done the
save file on your memory card will unlock a new option in Wind Waker:
you get to choose between cel-shading and realistic graphics.

If you beat WW with the realistic graphics you get a longer ending plus
you get a code that allows you to get a 20% discount on the next Zelda
game at EBgames.

Also, if you play Wind Waker at exactly 3:35am on April 14th you become
Adult Link until you turn your Cube off. If you beat it with Adult Link,
a monkey will visit you.

I'm so bored.

Dude! It worked! Now the first five dungeons are shaped like the letters
Z, E, L, D, and A!

That code sounded like a prank before you even said april fools.
Anyways, I'm on the 2nd quest and really there isn't much of a difference
other than wearing the blue clothes instead of green. Oh well.

Actually shouldn't that be E, A, L, D, and Z in that order? ;)

You're probably right. I don't remember the exact order of the levels. I
love the first Zelda... it rules!
