Sword:
This is Link's weapon of choice. You can find it washed up on Toronbo
Shores. It's a good idea to *always* have this item equipped because
you'll use it all the time. It can defeat most enemies, but not all.
There is also a Level 2 sword that you get from the seashell mansion
after you find 20 secret seashells.
Shield:
When Marin found you washed up in the shore, she also found your shield.
Tarin gives it to you at the very beginning of the game. You know it's
yours because your name is engraved on it! There's also a stronger
shield, the Mirror Shield, that can block stronger attacks than the
original shield. The Mirror shield is found in Eagle's Tower.
Sleepy Mushroom:
The sleepy mushroom is found deep in the mysterious forest. When you
find it, bring it to the Which's Hut and give it the the which. She will
make a bag of magic powder! There's no other use for the sleepy
mushroom except for making magic powder...
Magic Powder:
This is magic powder made from the sleepy mushroom. You can also buy it
from shops or win it from the Trendy Game. It can do a lot of different
things...you can sprinkle it on torches to light them, or sprinkle it on
the raccoon to change him back to Tarin. Try sprinkling it on different
things to get different effects!
Roc's Feather:
The only way that Link can jump is by using the Roc's Feather, what a
wimp! Roc's Feather can be found in the Tail Cave. It's good to always
have this item equipped (along with the sword) because you'll use it A
LOT. You can also grab floating items by jumping up to them.
Power Bracelet:
When wearing the power bracelet, Link can lift heavy objects (actually,
he can't lift any objects without this bracelet). This is another very
useful item. It's primarily used to pick up bottles and rocks. It can be
found in the Bottle Grotto. There's also a level 2 power bracelet that's
found in the Face Shrine.
Pegasus Boots:
This item can be found in the Key Cavern, it allows you to dash really
really fast! You need to hold down the button for a second before you
dash. The Pegasus Boots are primarily used to break through diamond
shaped objects. You can also use them to charge through some enemies.
Hookshot:
The hookshot is one of my favorite items in all Zelda games. It can be
found in Catfish's Maw. There are many uses for the hookshot: You can
use it to pull yourself towards objects, attack other enemies, or pull
some small objects towards you (heart, rupees...)!
Magic Rod:
You don't get this item until near the end of the game. It can be found
in Turtle Rock. When you use it, a flame will quickly shoot out of the
rod. This is very useful for killing enemies, melting blocks of ice, or
lighting far away torches. Too bad you don't get the chance to use it
much :(
Bombs:
Bombs can be found almost everywhere...they're available at the shop,
in treasure chests, and from defeating enemies. They're also very useful
in the game. Use them to kill enemies or blow up walls. You can tell if
a wall is "bombable" because you can see a crack in it (and you'll hear
a hollow sound if you hit it with the sword).
Bow and Arrows:
Link knows his archery, and he chooses only the best brand of bow. The
bow and arrow can only be bought from the Mabe Village shop for a
whopping 980 RUPEES! This is the most freakin' expensive item in any
Zelda game! The Bow and Arrows are used to shoot distant enemies...some
enemies can only be defeated with the Bow and Arrow.
Shovel:
The shovel can only be bought from the Mabe Village shop for 200 rupees.
You can use it to dig holes in the ground and maybe discover some buried
treasure. You need it to get some of the secret seashells and golden
leaves. Later in the game you should trade it away for the boomerang.
Ocarina:
What's an ocarina? Well, it's a flute-like instrument that's played by
blowing. It also played a major role in Zelda: Ocarina of Time. You find
the ocarina in the Dream Shrine of Mabe Village. There are three
different songs you can play, each with it's own effect.
Boomerang:
This is a special, optional item. You can get it only after you've
completed the trading process and gotten the magnifying glass. Go to the
cave at the bottom right of Toronbo Shore. There's a guy in there
willing to trade the boomerang for one of your items. I suggest you
trade the shovel (since you don't need it anymore). You can get back the
shovel anytime you want by just talking to this guy again.
The Trading Items:
The first trade item is the Yoshi Doll, which can be won from the Trendy
Game in Mabe Village. This item can be traded for something else, which
can be traded for something else, which can be traded for something
else...and the process goes on and on. There are a total of 14 trade
items. The last one is the magnifying glass.
Secret Seashells:
Throughout the game, you will find secret seashells in hidden places.
Some are hidden in chests, under bushes, in pots, and even underground!
There are 24 seashells in all. "If you collect a lot of these, something
good is bound to happen"...when you have at least 20 seashells, go to
the Seashell Mansion to recieve the Level 2 sword!
Crazy Tracy's Potion:
There's a crazy girl that lives in a little house at the right of the
forest. She's Crazy Tracy and she wants to sell you some medicine! For a
small fee, of course. When you run out of hearts, this potion will
restore you back to full life! It only works once, but you can always
come back to buy some more.
Flippers:
Links needs the flippers in order to swim, he'll drown without them! The
flippers can be found in Angler's Cave. While swimming, you can tap the
"A" to swim faster, and press "B" to dive underwater.
Golden Leaves:
There are five golden leaves hidden in the Kanalet Castle. A wierd guy
named Richard really wants these leaves, and asks you to retrieve them
for you. Return them to him to get the key to the Key Cavern.
Rupees:
This is the currency of Hyrule, and the currency of Koholint too! You
need it to buy things from stores, play the Trendy Game, and some buy
some other stuff . You can get rupees by defeating enemies, looking in
grass and pots, finding them in chests, or winning in the Trendy Game.
Keys:
These are used in dungeons (usually they can be found in chests).
They're used to open locked doors (of course). There is a different kind
of key called the Nightmare Key. The Nightmare Key is used to open the
big door leading up to the room with the boss.
Map:
Each dungeon has it's own map. After you find it, press the start button
to view it. Each block represents a different room of the dungeon.
Sometime there are secret rooms aren't displayed! If you have the
compass, you will see symbols for chests in rooms that have them and a
skull in the room with the Nightmare.
Compass:
Each dungeon also has it's own compass. When you have the compass, you
can see on the map the locations of the chests and the nightmare. The
compass will also make a sound if you enter a room with a hidden key in
it.
Owl Beak and Owl Statues:
In the original version of the game, this is called a stone slab
fragment. In the DX version, it's a stone beak. You can find it in a
dungeon and connect it to a stone slab/owl statue to recieve an
extremely vague hint. The hint is usually quite useless and doesn't give
you much help...so I won't cover it in the walkthrough.
Guardian Acorns:
After defeating a certain number of enemies, you will recieve the
guardian acorn. This acorn doubles your defensive power (so the damage
you recieve from enemies is cut in half). The acorn's power will go away
if you get hit by too many enemies.
Piece of Power:
appears after you defeat a number of enemies. It
doubles your attacking power and enemies will go flying when you hit
them with the sword. The piece of power is much rarer than the Guardian
Acorn, and like the Guardian Acorn, the power goes away when you get hit
too many times.
