* Try running around Castle Town in wolf form. It's funny when all the citizens think you're an enemy monster and they scream and cower before you, but it gets hilarious once all the town's guards start following you around, aiming their spears at you. Too bad they're too afraid to attack, especially since they, too, cower as you pretend to attack ''them.''

* In most Zelda games that have Cuccos, attacking them too much makes them attack you. Not so here: attack a Cuccoo enough (in either form), and the screen will fade to black. When it comes back, ''you are the chicken'', albeit for a short while. (This is not the case for the Super Cuccoo, or the Ooccoo.)

* When you have to revisit the Sacred Grove, Rusl calls over a golden cucco to help you get there. Once you've arrived, morph into a wolf and talk to it. It says "Twinkle twinkle little cucco, I am gold and not for you-oo." Couldn't make this up if I tried; it had both This Troper and her sister in fits of laughter.
* Early in the game, you can hit Malo (the midget of the three kids) with your slingshot and his head will just be knocked backed. My older sister and I loved doing this (that is, until we ran out of ammo).

After you get the Fishing Rod, go to where the cat is and catch a fish (the cat will run away, but it's fine). After you throw it back, the cat will be watching you. When you catch a second fish, the fish will flop around on the grass for a second, and then be snatched up by the cat. Link's expression = CrowningMomentOfFunny!
