A variety of useful items can be found throughout Hyrule. Some items are equipped on Link's body, while others are assigned to the three positions on the C-Stick or the X, Y and Z Buttons. Here are some of the major items Link uses throughout his quest.


  Bomb
  The Bombs can be used to damage enemies or blow up walls and boulders. Link can throw a Bomb in the direction he is running, or stand still to place it on the ground.


  Bombchu
  This mechanical mouse will carry a Bomb to a target, even up walls. Its behavior can be somewhat erratic, so it takes extra care to aim correctly. The Bombchu explodes after a certain amount of time or if it runs into an obstacle in its path.


  Boomerang
  The boomerang can eliminate or stun enemies and activate switches from afar. The Boomerang can be aimed manually or you can use L-Targeting to improve the accuracy. Some items can even be collected using the Boomerang. The Boomerang can only be used by young Link.


  Bottle
  Empty bottles can be filled with various potions for later use, or they can be used to capture Fairies and bugs. The maximum number of bottles Link can carry is four. Two bottles are earned during the quest, and the other two bottles can be collected by winning a contest at the Lon Lon Ranch and as a reward for finding enough Big Poes.


  Deku Nut
  Throwing a Deku Nut will create a bright flash which temporarily stuns enemies. Some enemies, however, are immune to the flash of the Deku Nuts. A stock of Deku Nuts can be very helpful for when you feel overwhelmed by enemies.


  Deku Shield
  The Deku Shield works well for young Link, but it is way too small for an adult to carry. With L-Targeting, the Deku Shield can be used to deflect projectiles back at enemies. Since it is made of wood, keep it away from fire or it will burn away.


  Deku Stick
  Deku Sticks can be used as weapons, but they break easily. The Deku Stick works better as a tool to carry a flame from one place to another. Instead of letting a Deku Stick burn away, put it away by pressing the B Button when you are finished with it to prolong its use.


  Din's Fire
  Din's Fire is the first of three magic spells left by the goddesses who created the Triforce. Find the Great Fairy who will teach it to Link and he will be able to surround himself with a ball of fire. Use Din's Fire to attack multiple enemies or to light more than one torch with a single use.


  Fairy Bow
  An adult's weapon, the Fairy Bow fires powerful arrows at enemies. The Fairy Bow can be aimed manually, but with L-Targeting you can improve your accuracy. On Link's quest he will find three types of magical arrows that can be use with the Fairy Bow.


  Fairy Slingshot
  The Fairy Slingshot is the perfect secondary weapon to the sword, allowing young Link to attack enemies from a distance. Aim the Deku Seed ammunition manually, or use L-Targeting for a more accurate shot.


  Farore's Wind
  Farore's Wind allows Link to create Warp Points within Dungeons. Use it once to create the first Warp Point and the next time Link use Farore's Wind, he will be transported to that warp point. If you would like to create a new warp point, select "Dispel the Warp Point."


  Fire Arrow
 

The Fire Arrow uses a small quantity of magic to add a ball of fire to its tip. When the Fire Arrow meets its target, the ball of fire will expand. Fire Arrows can also be used to light things on fire from a distance.

 


 

Gold Scale

  Hookshot
  Link can use the Hookshot as a weapon to stun and sometimes defeat enemies from a distance, but it is most useful as a grappling device. Link can use the Hookshot to cross large gaps or to access out-of-reach areas.


 

Hylian Shield
  The Royal Crest engraved on the front of the Hylian Shield gives a clue to its superb craftsmanship. It can shield Link from fire, rocks, enemy attacks and more. Its heavy weight makes it difficult for young Link to manipulate with ease.

  Iron Boots
  The Iron Boots allow Link to sink to the bottom of underwater locations or to stand his ground in extremely windy conditions. They are so heavy, though, that they make Link's movements very slow.


 

Kokiri Sword
  This treasure of the Kokiri Forest is the perfect size for a young boy. Since With the Kokiri Sword in hand, Link can perform many types of attacks on his enemies.


  Lens of Truth
  The Lens of Truth allows Link to see through fake walls and to spot invisible items or enemies. It drains magic power while activated.


  Light Arrow
  Light Arrows are twice as powerful as the Ice and Fire Arrows, but they require twice as much magic to use. This gift from Princess Zelda is the final weapon needed to take on Ganondorf.
