Right of Passage
Ever since I beat Ocarina of Time... I've had some things that I'd like to try. Now... I've found out one of the mysterious ways to do one of them- enter the Deku Tree without a sword or shield!
Here is how to get passed Mido and maybe other invisible boundary in the game.
At the very start of the game, just after Link leaves his house, go up to the entrance where the Deku Tree is. Mido is blocking your path saying you can't pass without a shield or sword. But in fact, you can pass him. Go up near Mido and don't have a shield or even the Kokiri Sword. Now carefully pull up on the left side of the cartridge. Yes you heard me right, pull up slightly on the left side of the cartridge. Do this very carefully and slowly or else your game will freeze and you will have to click off the power to start your game over from your last save. Now while the cartriage is being held with one hand, on the screen will be a distorted Link and you will hear some weird scratchy like noises. Next, push forward on the analog stick to move Link right through the invisible wall Mido has created and you will pass right through it! Then push the cartridge back down and Link will appear in regular form and the weird sounds will not be heard anymore. You can now go talk to the Deku Tree and even go inside!

NOTE WHEN PULLING ON CARTRIAGE:
When pulling out the cartridge, it may be very difficult at first, but with practice, you can get it down. A common problem I've experienced and I'm sure some of you will, is when pulling up the cartridge out of the system, you often end up pullling up on the right side of the cartriage too, causing the game to freeze. So if you have a friend handy, have them gently hold down the other side of the cartridge.
