Upgrades

    
                               

Every upgrade in the Switch 2 remake of Ocarina of Time: bigger wallets, seed bags, stick and nut capacity, bomb bags and quivers, plus the scales, strength upgrades, Great Fairy rewards and the best gear. The capacity upgrades work like the original, but the wallets are much bigger, the Great Fairies now charge Rupees, and a few prizes moved. Changes from the Nintendo 64 version are marked.

Quick answers

  • Bigger wallet? Gold Skulltula tokens at the House of Skulltula in Kakariko: 10 tokens for the Adult's Wallet (500 Rupees), 30 for the Giant's Wallet (1,000). You start with a wallet that holds 200.
  • Order doesn't matter: each bag and quiver has two upgrade sources. Whichever you finish first gives the middle size and the second gives the biggest, so you end up with the same bag either way.
  • Horseback archery: the Biggest Quiver now takes 1,400 points (1,500 on the N64), and the Piece of Heart comes at 750.
