How to Win at Rickety Coaster

The Rickety Coaster minigame involves making it to the end of two different tracks as quickly as possible while riding a cart. What makes this minigame a little challenging is that you have to tilt your left stick so as to keep the cart on the tracks. Lose balance and Link will fall, thus failing the challenge. As you need to be extremely precise, we suggest you use regular controls to play this minigame.

As for clearing the two tracks in the shortest amount of time possible, there isn’t a whole lot the player can do other than memorizing the tracks. By tilting the left stick in the direction of a curve, it is possible to gain a small speed boost, knowing beforehand when to do so will make it easier to achieve the shortest clear time possible.
