A very smart bulbin
In certain areas, try to fight a bulbin warrior (because this cheat doesn't work on bulbin archers). Hit him once with your sword, being careful trying to not kill him completely. After he gets back into fighting stance, if you try to hit him again, he will have enough situational sense to leap backwards, dodging your swing, much like the way a phase 2 darknut does. Once he swings his weapon after the first hit or is in the process of doing so, though, it won't work anymore.

Use a Water bomb to blow up that rock, and a Goron will pop out. Talk to him and he will give you a bomb bag. If you want another bomb bag just go to the upper Zora River (Not the chamber you just in) And there is going to be a woman with big hair sitting there doing nothing near a house, talk to her, after that try to look for a way to fight with those black monters to win a portal. When you finish fighting them, talk to the women again and she will ask you a favor, go in a canoe downstream and blow up with the arrow and bomb combo some rocks in the way. When you finish the trip a zora guy that you met in the middle of the trip is going to tell you that his boss (The woman) promised to give you the bomb bag, and he gives it to you.
