The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass/Items

Oshus's Sword
Link's first weapon.

Location
Found on Mercay Island in a cave next to Oshu's hut.

Boomerang
The boomerang is the second weapon Link will obtain.

Location
Found on level 2F of the Temple of Fire

Usage
The boomerang is thrown by drawing a line with the stylus in the desired direction. It can be used to flip switches, break pots, return distant items to Link, and attack enemies. While holding the boomerang, the stylus can also be tapped on an enemy for the boomerang to lock on.

Location
Sold at shops, and commonly found in pots and tall grass.

Usage
Bombs are lifted above Links head, and can be thrown at objects or enemies. They light as soon as equipped, and Link must be a certain distance away after a few seconds, or he will take damage.

Location
Found on the B1 level of the Temple of Courage.

Usage
To use the bow, Link must have arrows as ammunition (found at many markets, inside pots, and in tall grass). To fire an arrow with the bow equipped, slide the stylus on the screen to take aim, and lift the stylus to fire.

Shovel
The shovel, when equipped, will allow Link to dig a hole in soft ground when the stylus is tapped. It remains equipped until deselected. Keep an eye out for discolored patches of land, they usually indicate a good place to dig.
