These are the items you find during your journey that Link can equip. They don't go into C slots but are equipped. They include 4 slots Tunic, Boots, Sword, and Shield.

Clothing

• Kokiri Tunic

The basic green tunic that Link begins his adventure with. No special effects. This is the only tunic Young Link can use.

• Goron Tunic

This fiery red tunic protects Link from the intense heat of the Fire Temple and Death Mountain. Without it the Fire Temple cannot even be attempted.

• Zora Tunic

This blue tunic lets link breathe underwater. This item is used extensively in Lake Hylia and the Water Temple. It is also used alongside the iron boots which allow Link to sin to the bottom of a body of water and walk around.

Boots

• Kokiri Boots

Link's original boots. No special effects.

• Iron boots

These heavy boots allow Link to walk underwater without floating to the surface, it is found in the Ice Caverns. This item is used extensivley along side the Zora Tunic, combined they allow Link to walk in the bottom of bodies of water without drowning. This item is used primarily in the Water Temple.

• Hover Boots

These boots let you briefly walk across midair. To activate the boots, walk off of a ledge. Link will keep moving as if there were still solid ground beneath him. The effect only lasts a couple of seconds. Found in the Shadow Temple.

Swords

• Kokiri sword

The very first sword you get, and the only sword that Young Link can use.

• Master Sword

The Legendary sword that locks the portal to the Triforce. This is the sword that Link uses as an adult.

• Giant's Knife

This huge knife is crafted by a giant Goron in Death Mountain multiple copies can be purchased, but it is expensive. It's a mighty blade requiring two hands to wield (leaving Link without a shield) but it breaks after some use.

• Biggoron Sword

This sword is by far the most powerful weapon in the game. It can only be obtained through the completion of the item trading quest[1]]. It is identical to the Giant's Knife, except that it will never break.

Shields

• Deku Shield

Small wooden shield that child Link uses. Can be purchased from stores. This shield is flimsy and made of wood, fire attacks burn and destroy it. This is used by Young Link as the standard shield, but is not recomended for use in Dodongos Cavern.

• Hylian Shield

This shield is used by Hylian soldiers. As Young Link it's too heavy and you simply crouch and use it like a turtle shell. This shield is vital to completing DOdongo's Cavern (because your Deku shield will burn.) It can be bought at the Bazaar in Hyruls Castle Town or Retrieved for free from Kakariko Graveyard at night (pull back the tombstone with flowers and jump in.) As an adult you are stronger and can wield it in front of you to deflect attacks. It is the only adult shield until the mirror shield is retrieved.

• Mirror Shield

This magical shield can reflect some light and magical spells as well as shield from attacks just like the Hylian Shield. It's retrieved and used in the Spirit Temple.

Items

These are items that are equipped to the C slots and can be used with the flick of your thumb. Mainly they are items that you retriveve from dungeons but there are a few others in there.

• Deku Stick

A stick obtained from certain monsters or chests. Use these sticks as weapons or to light torches in dungeons. Can be purchased in stores.

• Deku Nut

Throw a deku nut to produce a flash of light that stuns nearby enemies. Can be purchased in stores.

• Deku Seed

Use these small seeds as ammunition for the slingshot. Can be purchased in stores.

• Arrow

These provide ammunition for the bow. Arrow upgrades (Ice, Fire, Light) can be found in Lake Hylia, Gerudo Fortress, and Ganon's Castle respectively. Can be purchased in stores

• Bomb Bag (Bombs)

They're bombs and they blow up. You originally get the bomb bag from the dodongo caverns. Once you have the bomb bag you can use bombs all the time. You use them as both adult and child.

• Bombchus

This is a moving bomb that resembles a mouse. Once set down, it goes straight in the direction it is facing, even up walls. After a period of time or if it runs into something, it blows up. These can be purchased at night in the Castle Town Alley or from the flying merchant in the Haunted Wasteland.

• Megaton Hammer

This weapon is incredibly potent. It is obtained from the Fire Temple and packs a wallop. Not only can this weapon be used to massacre foes, it will actually cause a shockwave when it slams on the ground. Any nearby enemies will be damaged and stunned. It is also employed to smash certain rocks.

• Hookshot

This weapon allows you to latch onto something and pull yourself toward it. You find this in Dampe's grave and can upgrade its reach (becomes the Longshot) in the Water Temple.

• Lens of Truth

This nifty item allows you to see normally invisible enemies and even peer through fake walls! The downside to this is that it constantly drains your magic power. This item is found in the Kakariko Well and is used during the Shadow Temple quest.

• Din's Fire

A jewel recieved by a Great Fairy, Din's Fire consumes magic when used. It creates a wall of fire around you that spreads out and can severely damage, if not kill, most enemies.

• Farore's Wind

You may recieve this from a Great Fairy. Farore's Wind allows you to create a warp point, which consumes magic, and warp back to that one point any time you wish. The warp point disappears after you warp back to it.

• Nayru's Love

This jewel uses twice the magic as Din's Fire or Farore's Wind, but it protects you from recieving damage for a period of time. Again, you recieve this from a Great Fairy.

• Magic Beans

You purchase these from the chubby fellow in front of the Zora River gate as a child. When you plant these into dirt patches, a sprout will appear. As an adult, you can ride the plants that now sit there to reach new heights.

Projectiles

• Fairy Slingshot

A small slingshot used by Kokiri children. It's retrieved in the Deku Tree. It switches Link into first person and shoots Deku nuts with great accuracy. The Fairy Slingshot can only be used as a child.

• Boomerang

This item is a boomerang. It's the second projectile you get as a child and it can help you retrieve far away items (like skulluta tokens). You get it in Jabbu Jabbu's Belly and use it inside. It is only usable as a child, but it is a very versatile weapon although its range is limited and it can kill only certain opponents. It can be used to stun most foes as well.

• Bow

The Bow is a classic staple of fantasy games. It's essencially the adult slingshot. The Bow is retrieved in the Forest Temple by Adult Link and is used througout adulthood. This weapon will prove to be one of Link's greatest assets. The bow will eventually gain the power to shoot fire arrows, ice arrows, or light arrows when certain conditions are satisfied. Young Link cannot use the bow. (NOTE: The bow is the only item that Link can use on Epona.)
