Items & Equipment

    
                               

Every item, piece of equipment and Spirit Flute song in Spirit Tracks, and where to find it. Like Phantom Hourglass, almost everything is controlled with the stylus. Some items, like the Whirlwind and the Spirit Flute, use the DS microphone too.

Swords and Shields

  • Recruit's Sword: the guard captain in Hyrule Castle gives it to you, and teaches you the targeted attack, side slash and Spin Attack.
  • Lokomo Sword: Anjean gives it to you after you find the Bow of Light. It's needed for the final battle.
  • Shield: buy one in a shop early on. Castle Town and Whittleton both sell them. Like Likes can swallow it.
  • Shield of Antiquity: Niko's reward for 10 stamps. Like Likes can't swallow it.

Dungeon Items

  • Whirlwind (Forest Temple): blow into the microphone to fire a gust in the direction Link faces. It blows away poison gas and fog, stuns light enemies, spins fans and carries small objects like keys and acorns.
  • Boomerang (Snow Temple): draw its flight path with the stylus. It hits switches and stuns enemies, and it can carry fire or ice from a torch to light other torches or freeze water.
  • Whip (Ocean Temple): latch onto wooden pegs to swing across gaps, pull shields and helmets off enemies, and grab things from a distance.
  • Bow (Fire Temple): tap to aim and hit eye switches and distant enemies. The quiver starts with 20 arrows.
  • Sand Wand (Sand Temple): tap sand to raise it into walls or pillars. It can lift Link up, block boulders and trap enemies.
  • Bow of Light (Sand Temple, after Skeldritch): fires Light Arrows that open the golden eye switches. It's the only weapon that can drive Malladus out of Zelda's body.
  • Bombs: buy a Bomb Bag at Beedle's Air Shop. Until then, you can pick up and throw Bomb Flowers.

The Spirit Train

  • Spirit Train: Anjean turns the statue in the Tower of Spirits lobby into the Spirit Train for you. Use the gear lever to set your speed, and pull the whistle cord to clear animals off the tracks. Draw your route on the map.
  • Cannon: Alfonzo fits a cannon to the Spirit Train in Aboda Village. Tap to fire. It breaks boulders and fights off enemies on the tracks.
  • Freight car: Kagoron in Goron Village gets you a freight car once you reach the Fire Realm, so you can haul cargo.
  • Rail Maps and Force Gems: each climb of the Tower of Spirits wins a new Rail Map (Forest, Snow, Ocean and Fire), which brings back some of the lost tracks. Each temple boss leaves a Force Gem that restores the tracks to the tower, and you can earn more Force Gems by helping people. See the Force Gems page.
  • Compass of Light: found at the top of the Tower of Spirits on your final climb. It reveals the tracks to the Dark Realm.
  • Rabbit Net: given to you at Rabbitland Rescue. When the cannon scares a rabbit out of hiding, you have ten seconds to tap it with the net.

The Spirit Flute and Its Songs

Princess Zelda gives you the Spirit Flute in her quarters in Hyrule Castle. To play it, slide the pipes to line up the note you want and blow into the microphone. You learn most songs from rocket-shaped stone statues: hit the statue, copy the notes it shows you, and it reveals a Gossip Stone that teaches you the song.

  • Song of Awakening (on the way to and from Gage in the Forest Sanctuary; notes blue, orange): wakes sleeping Gossip Stones.
  • Song of Healing (at the entrance to the Forest Temple; notes green, white, green): calls a fairy, which heals you or brings you back if you fall. Fairies can only be called this way inside dungeons.
  • Song of Discovery (Anouki Village): reveals hidden objects.
  • Song of Light (by Linebeck's grave near the Trading Post): lights up the beacon statues so they shine their light.
  • Song of Birds (Papuchia Village, dug up with the Song of Discovery): calls birds. It's how you rescue Carben.
  • The Lokomo duets: each Lokomo guardian (Gage, Steem, Carben, Embrose and Rael) plays a duet with you to restore the tracks to their temple. Zelda plays the final duet with you against Malladus.

Potions

There are no bottles in Spirit Tracks. Potions are bought in shops and each one can be used once.

  • Red Potion: restores six hearts.
  • Purple Potion: restores eight hearts, and brings you back automatically if you fall.
  • Yellow Potion: restores all your hearts.

Other Items

  • Royal Engineer's Certificate: Zelda gives it to you at the start of the game.
  • Stamp Book: Niko gives it to you in Aboda Village. See the Stamp Stations page.
  • Swordsman's Scroll: Niko's reward for all 20 stamps. It teaches the Great Spin Attack.
