Legend of Zelda for GameCube-Saving without Dying
Created | Updated Sep 2, 2006
They exist! They are mostly pretty good. Once I found a really good one somewhere improbable like eBay or somewhere else that has community pages but which isn't really about gaming, but can't find it again.
<erm> But they're for the NES.
To save without dying, press 'select' so that you get the black screen that shows above your working map that tells you how many triforce pieces you have and what your B button items are. On that screen, and on no other screen at all, press the 'X' button. The game will give you an option to continue/save/retry. Press the 'Y' button to change between the three options, and then press the small red 'select' button again. If you chose save, your game will save and it will also quit.
