Compatible Versions ? 1.0 1.1 1.2 GCN MQ 3DS

Details Discovered: Unknown Verified: Yes

Instructions

1. Start a new game.
2. Use the Crooked Cartridge trick to get into the Great Deku Tree's meadow without getting the Kokiri Sword. Beat the Deku Tree dungeon -- use Deku Sticks in place of the Kokiri Sword.
3. Beat the other two child dungeons without getting the Kokiri Sword.
4. Make sure you have at least 70 Rupees (not necessary but it saves time) and then travel forward in time.
5. Once you regain control of Link after all the talking, hurry off to Lon-Lon Ranch.
6. When you get there get on Epona, talk to Ingo, race him etc...
7. ...until you win Epona, then jump over one of the fences that take you back to Hyrule Field.
8. Once back in the field get off Epona. The 'B' button will be blank. You can now use items while on Epona.

Limitations

Doing any of the following will re-equip the Master Sword, ending the glitch.

• Get the Biggoron's Sword or Giant's Knife
• Get the Fairy Bow and save the game
• Equip the Master Sword on the Equipment subscreen

Notes

Sometimes after saving and starting up the game again the sword may be equipped; getting on and off Epona will fix this.

Also, this trick is now redundant. Swordless Link can be obtained in all versions of the game without the Crooked Cartridge trick; check the Swordless Link glitches index to find out how.
