Houlihan Room

Houlihan Room

The Houlihan Room is a secret room containing 225 rupees that cannot be accessed via normal means. When the player falls into a hole in the Overworld the game observes Link's position to determine where he should be sent to in the Underworld. If there is a displacement between Link's pixel position and that of the Overworld camera the game may not be able to determine where to send Link and instead sends him to the Houlihan Room as a fail-safe. Exiting the room will take the player to the front of Link's House.

There are several ways to access the Houlihan room:

• Without flippers; walk to the fairy drop-drown hole area just East of the Graveyard then enter and exit the cave to the north. After exiting the cave walk straight down and hop into the water from the higher ledge three times. After the last jump walk over to the fairy hole under the bush and fall from the top.
• If player has the Power Gloves, go to the Graveyard and push open the gravestone that leads to the back of Escape but do not fall down. Position Link slightly below the hole, place a bomb and allow the explosion to push Link into the hole.

This room can be useful to get a one-time injection of rupees for early game purchases such as bombs or the bottle vendor.
