Hints
Destroying the Smoke Creatures easily
If you enter a room, and it is a clear run to the portal on the other side, take Yorda by the hand and run her to the portal with the black Smoke Creatures chasing you. As you approach the portal, Yorda's activation of the portal will create lightning which will destroy the creatures anywhere near you.

Finding Yorda
When in the last level with Ico's horns cut off on the beach, go towards the left following the shore of the beach to find Yorda.

Avoid losing Yorda
To avoid losing Yorda, as soon as you set her free press [R1] and hold her hand, then run to the door. You should also pick up the stick that falls so you can defeat the Shadow Creatures easily.

Share a watermelon with Yorda
Ico can share a watermelon with Yorda at the very end of the game. Note: This was done on the second time through the PAL version of the game. Take Yorda one of the watermelons sitting in the sand dunes. They are also very satisfying to smash.

Turning wheels
When turning big wheels, as when shutting off the water, turn from the farthest point to go faster.

Mace weapon
After reaching the top of the waterfall area, to the left of the switch you pulled is a tall tree. Swipe at it with your sword until you make contact. A ball will fall from its branches. Take the ball up the stairs, into the opened room, and drop it. You will notice tree arches between the two stairs going to the upper level of the room. Go to the middle arch and push on one side of it to make it revolve and reveal a secret room. Go back and take the ball (and Yorda) and enter the secret room . Hop into the idol pedestal with Yorda and a basket will appear. Take the ball and shoot it into the basket. A mace will fly through the window. It is more powerful then the sword and the 2x4. You can take out a standard Ghout in three swings.

To get the Mace, you do not need to do the "get the ball in the basket" routine. Before getting on the idol pedestal, actually place the ball in the square on the ground, where the basket will appear. When you step on the idol pedestal, the ball will fly up and land back in the basket.

Lightsaber weapon
Successfully complete the game once, then start another game. Follow the steps to where you got the Mace in the first time, and this time you will get a lightsaber that kills Smoke Creatures in one hit .You must be holding Yorda's hand to activate it.

Extra puzzle (PAL version)
An extra puzzle has been added in the room that leads to the top of the waterfall garden in the PAL version of the game. Whereas before you could shimmy around the room on bars, now you can only reach a switch. Pull this to start a giant wooden piston in the room. To get to the window, stand on the piston and press [Jump] just as it begins to sink to the lowest point. You should be catapulted up to a ledge. Just climb up to the window.

Two-player mode (PAL and Japanese NTSC versions)
Successfully complete the game and wait for the credits to end. Once you regain control of Ico, look for Yorda near the seashore. A save prompt will appear after the final ending. Save the game and restart to have Yorda playable using controller two and new music.

English subtitles (PAL version)
Upon completion of the game, not only do you get to control Yorda and have different music, but her subtitles are now in English rather than in hieroglyphics.

Easter Egg: Alternative Ending
The game must already have been completed in order for this to work. Right at the end of the game when Ico wakes up on the beach, make your way all the way over to where the cliffs are and continue your way up the beach. Along the way you should come across a large rock, there should also be a couple of watermelons situated near this large rock. Pick up one of these watermelons and proceed up the beach until you reach Yorda. You will now be treated with a slightly humurous end video. This does not work on the US version of the game.

Glitch: SuperJump
This will only work on the PAL version of the game. First make sure the game is set to 50hz (this is crucial). If it's set to 60hz then take your memory card out before you boot up the game, set to 50 .. then re-insert at the title screen. Anyway... just load up your game or start a new one. In order to do the superjump you need to have a stick or a sword equipped (will also work with lightsaber). Start running in any direction and do a running jump. Right after you hit Triangle, hit Square. The timing needs to be really exact. If executed properly you'll see him fly farther and one 'block' higher than he normally would.

Keep practicing the jump, it will come in handy when you'll need to get to Yorda quick.

You can also skip major parts of the game with this jump, I won't tell you where... but just have fun with it, explore.
