Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the Game Boy title "Link's Awakening", what item increases Link's speed?

Answer: Piece of Power

When Link has defeated at least 39 enemies, there is a chance the Piece of Power will spawn upon defeating each one that follows. Its main effect - as its name suggests - is to increase Link's power, as it does double damage and pushes enemies back. However, while it is in effect, Link is also faster.

The Acorn of Defense, which can potentially spawn once Link has defeated 12 consecutive enemies without taking a hit, halves the damage Link receives for three hits.
2. In the SNES title "A Link to the Past", Link receives the Pegasus Boots from the sage after obtaining which pendant?

Answer: Pendant of Courage

Sahasrahla will only give Link this key item once he completes the nearby Eastern Palace. While the most immediate use for the boots may be to knock the Book of Mudora off the bookshelf, he is able to dash around Hyrule while wielding his sword, damaging certain enemies in the process.
3. Which of these is not a use of the Pegasus Boots in "A Link to the Past"?

Answer: Jumping farther off cliffs

Link will only jump one tile off a cliff regardless of whether of not he uses Pegasus Boots. "Link to the Past" in the first appearance of a "running man", akin to the Postman in Majora's Mask. Catching the man in Kakariko Village only gives Link a tip on using the boots. Link has just 15 seconds to reach the Heart Piece in his race, virtually impossible without the boots.

When ramming a tree, a tree may either present Link with a Fairy, Apple, bomb, or nothing.
4. In "A Link to the Past", which of these will have no effect if Link rams into it with his Pegasus Boots?

Answer: Entrance to Pyramid

The Pyramid - unlike many weak walls - can only be opened with a Super Bomb explosion. Hylian soldiers - like most mundane enemies in the overworld vulnerable to basic sword attacks - will take damage from the boots.
5. In which of these games will the Bunny Hood not increase speed?

Answer: "Ocarina of Time"

In "Ocarina of Time", the Bunny Hood has the mostly novel effect of precluding Stalchildren from spawning at night. There is also a trophy of the Bunny Hood in both "Super Smash Brothers" in which the item is featured.
6. In "Ocarina of Time", what is the name of the gravekeeper Link must keep up with to earn the Hookshot?

Answer: Dampe

While the Dampe race presents many obstacles, it is possible to complete in 45 seconds without glitches or 41 using glitches. Speedrunners have been more concerned with how quickly Dampe can unearth his Heart Piece during the Gravedigging Tour.
7. In "Majora's Mask", who does the Deku Butler Link must keep up with in the Deku Shrine remind him of?

Answer: His son

Link only sees this character before he enters Clocktown, a lifeless corpse. Link must stay practically within sight of the butler or else the doors will literally close on him and he will fail the race. His prize is the Mask of Scents.
8. In "Twilight Princess", who must Link defeat in a race to receive a Heart Piece?

Answer: Yeto and Yeta

Link faces many obstacles in this Snowboard Race, including Ice Keese, trees, and rocks. However, he is aided greatly by ramps - a la "Majora's Mask" Goron Racetrack - and a shortcut accessed via a thin ice ledge.
9. In "Majora's Mask", what must Link race in Great Bay?

Answer: Beavers

In the Beta version of the title, Link was to assist them building their dam as the minigame. In the final version, he must swim through hoops while on the same path as the Beaver Brothers. By completely several races in the allotted time, he will earn an Empty Bottle and a Piece of Heart.
10. Which of these is not a condition Link must meet to participate in the Goron Race in "Majora's Mask"?

Answer: Play the Goron Lullaby for Baby Goron at the shrine

Link must obtain the Fire Arrows and defeat Goht, saving the Snowpeak Region of Termina. The thawed-out path to the Goron Shrine features a lake, a new hidden path, and an entrance to the Goron Racetrack, now functional. It is, in fact, possible to reach Snowhead Temple without the Goron Lullaby, mainly by means of strategies that incorporate the Infinite Sword Glitch.
11. In "Ocarina of Time", which of these is fastest?

Answer: Sidehopping

Backwalking is slightly faster than rolling, though both are faster than Link's base speed. Upon leaving Kokiri Forest, he is able to reach Hyrule Castle Town before nightfall by means of either.
12. In "Skyward Sword", how many competitors must Link race on Loftwing in his effort to obtain the Golden Statue?

Answer: Three

The trio of Groose and his cohorts Cawlin and Strich compete against Link after he rescues Loftwing from the Waterfall Cave. Link wins when he obtains the small statue from the bird before Groose can get to it.
13. In "Wind Waker", on what must Link race?

Answer: Boat

For a fee of 30 Rupees, Link can boat around the obstacle course for the amount of time allotted to him, which reduces every time he plays. While there is no shortage of Rupees in this title, he can potentially collect 150 Rupees in one run.
14. In the trading sequence in "Ocarina of Time", which does Link have less time to deliver?

Answer: Frog

Link is given four minutes to deliver the Eyedrops to the Goron at the summit of Death Mountain, while he is allowed just three to deliver the Eyeball Frog to the scientist at Lake Hylia. If he fails either portion, he is able to retry that portion of the sidequest.
15. In "Link's Awakening", one of the main uses of the Pegasus Boots is to give Link the speed boost necessary to jump farther using which item?

Answer: Roc's Feather

Roc's Feather - named for a legendary, mythological bird - appears in "Spirit Tracks", "Link's Awakening", "Oracle of Ages", and "Oracle of Seasons." In the latter three, when used in conjunction with the Pegasus Boots and timed precisely, Link can clear three pits.
16. When Link's health gauge is full in "The Legend of Zelda" for NES, he moves more quickly.

Answer: False

Rather, Link at full health will be able to shoot sword beams similar to that of Lynels and Stalfos in the second "Zelda" Quest.
17. On what type of terrain does Link move more slowly in the "Legend of Zelda: Adventure of Link" overworld?

Answer: Swamp

When Link triggers an enemy encounter in such an area, he also wades slowly through the swamp as he battles his way past Octoroks and - in the more difficult version of the encounter - flying minions known as Moby.
18. In "Majora's Mask", Link has a number of options for quick travel, but his Clocktown counterpart Kafei just his plain, ol' feet to reach the Inn where his fiancee Anju is waiting in the waning hours before the moon crashes. Roughly how long does it take him to travel from the Ikana Canyon Hideout to the Stock Pot Inn?

Answer: Four

He reaches the gate of East Clock Town at exactly 4 AM, just two hours before the moon crash. At this stage of the sidequest, if the player arrives in Anju's room without having given her the Pendant of Memories, Kafei will wait alone for his wedding with her until the moon crashes, as she has fled to Romani Ranch as her mother instructed her.
19. When Link wins a race against Captain Keeta in "Majora's Mask", he is rewarded with access to a chest containing Captain's Hat.

Answer: False

Link must not merely catch Keeta once awakening him, but also do battle with him. The most common ways of running down Keeta as he makes off past the first fire barrier are with the use of the Goron Mask, bow and arrow, and/or the Bunny Hood, as well as the Spin Attack, which quickly dispatches his Stalchild minions in one blow, opening the barrier ahead.
20. A dedicated speedrunning community has been able to accomplish the unthinkable. One of the most noteworthy achievement is completing the entire "Ocarina of Time" demo of "Super Smash Brothers: Brawl" in the time limit imposed on the player. How long is the player given control of Link before the timer runs outs?

Answer: 5 minutes

The demo can be accessed by collecting the "Masterpiece Ocarina of Time" item. during a A speedrunner by the name of Savestate was the first to accomplish this, reaching the ending cutscene with the use of glitches in just over 4:52. The demo has two save states: One featuring Child Link and the other with Adult Link. Using the latter, he was able to execute a complicated "wrong warp" which, performed properly, warps Link to the ending cutscene rather than the grotto he enters.
21. In "Oracle of Ages" and "Oracle of Seasons", Link is given the aid of several animal companions to traverse various types of the world. Which of his companions can fly?

Answer: Moosh

Ricky is a kangaroo with the ability to jump great distances, while Dimitri is a Dodongo that can swim against strong currents and up while waterfalls. Veran is an evil fairy from the Dark Realm who serves as the primary villain.
22. In "Ocarina of Time", add up to the time that Link has to escape Ganon's Castle before it collapses and how long he has to survive as a child in Death Mountain Crater without the Goron Tunic. How much time do you have?

Answer: 3 minutes, 52 seconds

Link is given three full minutes to escape Ganon's crumbling castle once he rescues Zelda the first time. Link has just 52 seconds of wandering through fiery areas of the game before he voids out and respawns at the entrance, having taken damage from the effects of the heat.
23. Link can bypass all of the guards in Hyrule Castle while still within their line of sight in "Ocarina of Time". How is he able to do so?

Answer: Sidehopping

This trick is extremely precise and even experienced speedrunners frequently shy away from it. Performing this reveals that the map of the courtyard during night does not extend all the way to Princess Zelda's room and does not pan farther left after Link passes the guard.
24. The code for "Ocarina of Time" has one minigame rigged. Which of these - despite fabricated screenshots by players years ago - has been proven impossible for Link to win a race against in "Ocarina of Time"?

Answer: The Running Man

When approached in the tent in Gerudo Valley as an adult, he will challenge Link to a race to the Lost Woods entrance to Kokiri Forest on the far side of Hyrule Field. Through investigation and hacks, it was proven that even a time of 0:00 reaching the endpoint will trigger the same response to the Running Man who -having spawned at the bridge as the race was triggered - declares himself the winner.

The Zora King would make for a pretty easy race against, as many an impatient player knows, having waited for him to slide a few inches out of their way in over 30 seconds.
25. In "A Link to the Past", the fastest means of getting from point A to point B is often the Flying Duck, accessed by means of the Flute. But the fastest way to get to the Dark World is usually Warp Tiles. Which of these is not the location of a Warp Tile?

Answer: Kakariko Village

There are nine in the title in total: "Hyrule Castle Gate"; past a ladder on Death Mountain; Between the Lost Woods and Kakariko Village; near a cave by the Eastern Palace; In the far corner of the Great Swamp behind stakes and statues; an island in Lake Hylia; a raised portion of land in the Desert of Mystery; Under a boulder on Death Mountain; near Turtle Rock.
