Details Discovered: Samzapp Verified: No

Requirements

• Something you can pick up, like a rock, a jar, or the ball in Eagle's Tower
• A chest or any special item that can be picked up from the ground (such as a Piece of Heart)

Instructions

1. Pick up the object you chose.

2. Walk over to the chest or special item (if it is a special item, make sure Link is standing on it).

3. Throw the object.

Result

Link will throw the object and open the chest/obtain the item, but will still appear to be holding the object!

Explanation

Because Link cannot collect a special item (such as a Piece of Heart) on the ground while he is holding an object above his head, he will immediately obtain the special item after letting go of the object. As for chests, any actions occurring in the room are frozen while Link obtains an item from a chest, including the object Link was holding.
