Question

How do you get the little maiamai off the tops of trees without using the pegasus boots cause my L button does not work

Answer 1

Short answer:

You can't.

Long answer:

You can't. If your L button doesn't work, I recommend you have it repaired. Zelda won't be the only game that relies on a working L button.
