=>Houlihan Room: The Chris Houlihan room is a top secret, money-filled room
which is nearly impossible to find accidentally, and difficult to enter
even if you know that it exists. You must have the Pegasus Boots and either
Boomerang to enter. First of all, begin your game at the Sanctuary. Switch
your item to the Boomerang, then dash out of the Sanctuary and down to the
road. Dash left, then down, then right. You will now be at the left of the
castle. Dash to the secret passage you used to enter the castle at the
beginning of the game. Dash down the path leading to it, dashing through
the plant at the end of the path, then dash right into the plant over the
passage and you will drop into the Houlihan Room. However, during all your
dashing to get there, only stop to stun enemies with your Boomerang (I'd
only stun those which would be directly in my way), don't bounce off of any
objects, and try not to hit or run into any enemies or to let them hit you.
If you did all of this correctly, you will arrive in the Chris Houlihan
room, containing a congratulatory message from Chris and about $225 (in
case you're wondering, Chris won an old Nintendo Power contest for
appearing in a game). Rumor has it that this trick can also be done if you
run from Link's House, but it is still unclear. I have only been able to
get it to work from the Sanctuary as mentioned above.
