Game Genie Codes
from Josh Bruce and Michael L. Constantinov
NOTE: If their is an "o" next to the code it means it will only work with the old version of Zelda. You can tell if you have an old version when you die and it says Continue, Save, Retry and nothing else. If you have the new version it will also have a red box that says Hold in the Reset button when you turn off the power. If there is an "?" next to the code, the code has not been tested on both versions of the game.
