Steps

  1. Throw Rupees into the Pond of Happiness. Until the first wish, a throw is 5 or 20 Rupees; after it, 25 or 50.
  2. Each throw adds to Link's happiness. Each time it reaches 100, the pond grants a wish: room for more bombs or more arrows, as in the table below.
  3. After the last wish, the pond gives the Rupees back and sends Link to its friend at the Waterfall of Wishing.
