Kokiri Sword
The Kokiri Sword is Link's very first blade. It's one of the treasures of the Kokiri and thus hidden within the village. The sword isn't terrible large - almost a knife instead - but it is the perfect size for child Link. |
|
 |
Master Sword
The Master Sword is the only weapon that can defeat the King of Evil. The almighty weapon is perfect for an adult Link and you will be using it for a good portion of the game. It is located in the Temple of Time but locked behind a door that requires all three Spirtual Stones to open. |
|
 |
Biggoron's Sword
The Biggoron's Sword is larger and more powerful than even the legendary Master Sword - twice as powerful, in fact. It's major drawback though is due to it's large size, Link has to use both hands to wield it which means he loses the ability to also use a shield. However the extra damage dealt by the Biggoron's Sword can end a fight fater, making a shield less necessary. |
|
 |
Deku Shield
Crafted from the wood of the mighty Deku Tree, the Deku Shield is the first shield that Link obtains. It is very vulnerable to fire and will be destroyed if it gets near a flame. You buy it for 40 rupees in the Kokiri Shop. |
|
 |
Hylian Shield
Your second shield and most used. It at least can withstand heat elements, but as a kid it's pretty useless except in Dodongo's Cavern. You can buy it in the shop in Hyrule Castle Market as a kid or you can find it beneath a grave in the graveyard for free. As an adult it's available in Kakariko Village and Kokiri Forest. |
|
 |
Mirror Shield
The Mirror Shield can reflect sunlight and energy with it's polished surface and could illuminate evil as well. One of my favorite items from the game and you find it in the Spirit Temple. |
|
 |
Kokiri Tunic
The green Kokiri Tunic is the typical dress of a Kokiri, the children of the forest. When Link first wakes from his nightmare, he'll be wearing this tunic. It also has the strange property of growing with Link when he becomes an adult. |
|
 |
Goron Tunic
Hylians mined Death Mountain for rupees and delivered the rocks they unearthed to the hungry Gorons. Since the temperature near the crater was too hot for Hylians to handle, the Gorons made them protective suits made from a sporty blend of Dodngo hides and Bomb Flower bibers. This tunic is given to adult Link when he is able to stop the Goron child from rolling in Goron City. |
|
 |
Zora Tunic
The Zoras served the King of Hyrule by supplying sacred water from their river. To purify it, the king's Hylian water inspectors of ten needed to cleanse the riverbed of pollutants. To help them breathe under water, the Zoras outfitted the Hylians with suits of fish gills. Adult Link can receive this tunic by unfreezing King Zora with a blue flame. |
|
 |
Kokiri Boots
The boots you start out wearing and much like the Kokiri Tunic, there is nothing special about it. |
|
 |
Iron Boots
Even with their Zora Tunics, Hylians could not stay underwater for long. The people had a tendency to float, so they forged heavy boots of iron to keep their feet planted on the sea floor. Travelers also found the footwear handy for walking against strong winds. These are received in the Ice Cavern. |
|
 |
Hover Boots
These boots have the impressive ability to allow you to stay suspending for approximately two seconds - they give that extra amount of flooring needed to get over wide pits. However, it is not advised you make them your normal foot wear as they have problems gaining traction and you slide very easily as if on ice. These are found in the Shadow Temple. |
|
 |
Deku Sticks
The Deku Stick is a common item used both as a weapon and as a tool. You can use swing it like your sword, but it tends to break easily. It is far more useful to use these to light torches or to start a fire. Deku Babas would commonly leave these behind when killed, or you can find them in the shops. |
|
 |
Fairy Slingshot
Used by Child Link, the Fairy Slingshot is a long-range weapon that you find in the Deku Tree. It uses Deku Seeds as ammunition which can be found in bushes, or under rocks. The Fairy Slingshot is very useful inside the Deku Tree against Skulltulas and other fearsome enemies. |
|
 |
Boomerang
The Boomerang is actually an ancient invention, and Hylians were famous for their skill in both making and using it. It is used most often to stun or defeat enemies. It is found inside of Jabu-Jabu's Belly. |
|
 |
Deku Nuts
When thrown, Deku Nuts explode with a flash bright enough to stun some enemies. Can be found under stones, in bushes, or even some enemies will drop these for you. |
|
 |
Fairy Ocarina
An ocarina is a flute-like musical instrument. The Fairy Ocarina is a memento given to you by Saria as you leave the forest after completing the Deku Tree dungeon. With this item you will be able to play the many magical songs you learn. |
|
 |

|
 |
Lens of Truth
Found in the well in Kakariko Village after you've drained the well of it's water. This lens has the amazing ability to allow you to peer through fake walls and see invisible items. Using this item consumes small amount of your magic power over time. |
|
 |
Bombs
One of the many staples of the Zelda series, you first find the Bomb Flowers on Death Mountain. To be able to pick Bomb Flowers, Darunia gives Link the Goron's Bracelet. You need the Bomb Bag from Dodongo's Cavern to keep a supply of Bombs on Link. |
|
 |
Bombchu
The Bombchu is a mechanical mouse that Link can use to carry a bomb to a target that is out of reach. The Bombchu can climb up walls and reach other areas that Link can't. As child Link, you can buy these from a shop in the back alley of Hyrule Castle Market at night. As an adult, you come across these in chests. |
|
 |
Magic Beans
These are being sold by the Magic Bean Seller at Zora's River and only 10 seeds are available. The price increases by ten after each Magic Bean is sold. Their only purpose is to plant them in soft soil plots as child Link and to ride the plant later as an adult to reach previous unaccessable areas. |
|
 |
Fairy Bow
When Link reaches adulthood, he is unable to use his Slingshot. Instead, he is able to use the more powerful Fairy Bow once he finds it in the Forest Temple. It is able to shoot three types of magical arrows. |
|
 |
Fire Arrow
The Fire Arrow shoots a large fireball and explodes on contact. These are useful at melting ice and lighting torches. Shoot an arrow into the sun in the morning at Lake Hylia to make the arrow appear on a platform, but make sure the Lake is filled with water again or you won't be able to reach the platform. |
|
 |
Ice Arrow
The Ice Arrow is useful at freezing enemies, encasing them inside a immobling block of ice. This is given to Link as the ultimate prize in the Gerudo Training Center. |
|
 |
Light Arrow
The Light Arrow requires twice the magic power of the Fire and Ice arrows, but caused more damage to enemies and is the ultimate weapon against evil. It is given to you by Princess Zelda once you have acquired all the spiritual stones. |
|
 |
Hookshot
The hookshot is a hook attached to the end of a long chain. Link can use this as a weapon or as a grapple to grab objects or to swing across gaps. The find the Hookshot, adult Link must enter Dampé's Grave where Dample challenges Link to a race. If Link is able to keep up with Dampé, Dampé will reward Link with the Hookshot. |
|
 |
Longshot
Almost exactly the same as the Hookshot, but the chain reaches out a far greater distance (hence the name). It is found inside the Water Temple. |
|
 |
Megaton Hammer
A huge two-handed hammer capable of mass destruction and mayhem. Most useful for pummeling stubborn enemies into submission or for moving blocks and turning rusted switches. You receive this impressive weapon inside the Fire Temple. |
|
 |
Bottles
Glass bottles are useful for carrying milk, potions, fairies, or other useful things. There are four bottles to find in the game, and all can be found by following this guide. |
|

The three goddesses who created the Triforce also left behind three magic spells, which Link can find and master. Din's Fire surrounds Link with a ring of Fire which is useful against groups of enemies. Din's Fairy can be found in the Fairy Fountain outside Hyrule Castle as child Link. |
|
 |
Farore's Wind
This spell creates a Warp Point for Link to use later by reusing the spell at any time. Unfortunately it only works for any dungeon that has a map. To find Farore's Wind, you must find the Fairy Fountain in Zora's Fountain (must bomb the wall at the north-east corner). |
|
 |
Nayru's Love
The last of the goddesses' spells was called Nayru's Love. This spell creates a crystal around Link that will protect him from all damage for a specific amount of time, however you still can get knocked down by impacts. Nayru's Love can be found in the Fairy Fountain in the Dessert Colossus (bomb the cracked wall marked by two palm trees). |
|
 |
Stone of Agony
The Stone of Agony, one of the children's gifts after you've destroyed 20 gold skulltulas, was the companion relic to the Lens of Truth. While the Lens allowed Link to see what normal eyes could not, the Stone allowed him to feel when was near something strange. It would vibrate when near hidden treasures or a secret grotto. |
|
 |
Goron's Bracelet
The Goron Bracelet imparted great strength to those who wore it. After playing Saria's Song to Darunia, Darunia will receive these from him. While wearing the bracelets, he is able to lift the heavy bomb flowers and throw them at enemies. |

|
 |
Gold Scale

|
 |
Gold Skulltula Tokens
A curse has befallen a greedy family of Kakariko Village, imprisoning them in mutant arachnid bodies until enough spider tokens can be found to break the spell and free them. Link can find these tokens when he destroys a Gold Skulltula which is hidden throughout the world. Our guide to find all of these is here. |
|

|
 |
Heart Containers
Heart Containers are full sized Heart Pieces and increase Link's life meter by one heart when found. These are obtained after defeating the main bosses in all the dungeons. |

The Kokiri Emerald is protected by the Great Deku Tree who refuses to hand it over to Ganondorf. Ganondorf then curses the Great Deku Tree with many monsters and Link is given the task to clear them out. Never-the-less, the Great Deku Tree succumbs to the curse, but not before giving Link the Kokiri Emerald. |
|
 |
Goron's Ruby
The Goron Ruby is withheld by Darunia until Link can blow up the boulder blocking entrance to the Dodongo's Cavern and destroy the evil monsters that have grown inside due to Ganondorf's spells. On completion, Darunia makes Link a "sworn brother" and hands over the Goron's Ruby. |
