Equipment[edit]

Hero's Clothes[edit]

LOZWW Hero's Clothes.png

The Hero's Clothes are the clothes Link receives from his grandmother at the beginning of the game. Because Link is turning the same age as the legendary Hero of Time was when he saved Hyrule, Link must wear a green tunic made by his grandmother similar to the one the Hero of Time wore due to the occasion.

Hero's Sword[edit]

LOZWW Hero's Sword.png

The Hero's Sword is the first sword Link can obtain in the game. After receiving the Hero's Clothes from Grandma, go to Aryll and she'll let you use her telescope for the day, but only because it's Link's birthday. After the cutscene in which Tetra falls onto the island, go to Orca and he'll give you the sword you used for training - the Hero's Sword. Use it with B button.

Master Sword[edit]

LOZWW Master Sword.png

The Master Sword can be found in a hidden chamber in Hyrule Castle. The King of Red Lions will direct Link to the ruins of Hyrule Castle when the time comes. When you're inside, everything will be frozen. Go to the center, at the foot of the huge statue commemorating the Hero of Time. A large Triforce will be on the floor. Get the triangle blocks to fit onto the Triforce on the floor by pushing them to match their positions. A secret entrance will open below the statue. Go down the stairs and you'll be in the same room as the Master Sword, which is in its place in the Pedestal of Time. Although it does look much more powerful, it's actually not at full power. To defeat Ganondorf, you must go through two more temples to awaken the sages, who can restore the power to the Master Sword. This will replace the Hero's Sword.

Restored Master Sword[edit]

LOZWW Restored Master Sword.png

The Master Sword after it is restored to power by the sages. To get this, first go through the Earth Temple, then the Wind Temple. Before you go to the Earth Temple, make sure you're talked to by Laruto the sage, who will tell you to find someone with the same instrument as her. After completing the Earth Temple, Fado will tell you the same thing, and you must complete the Wind Temple. After the Master Sword is restored to full power, Link will finally be able to face off against Ganondorf.

Hero's Shield[edit]

LOZWW Hero's Shield.png

A shield Link receives at the beginning of the game, and Link's first shield. After Aryll is kidnapped and taken to the Forsaken Fortress, go to Grandma and she'll give you the Hero's Shield, a shield which was used by Link's ancestors and is an heirloom to the family. Defend yourself with R button, and use it while moving by L-targeting to allow for more mobility.

Mirror Shield[edit]

LOZWW Mirror Shield.png

The second and last shield Link receives. It has the ability to reflect light, similar to Medli's harp. It is most useful in the dungeon where it is obtained (the Earth Temple). It can be used to deflect light onto enemies who are weak to it, and can also be used to shatter rocks or solve puzzles. It replaces the Hero's Shield once you obtain it.

Wallet[edit]

LOZWW Wallet.png

The Wallet holds all of Link's Rupees. Unfortunately, it can only hold so many Rupees, and once you've reached the limit you can't pick up any more Rupees (any excess will simply vanish). The Wallet you start the game with can hold up to 200 Rupees (or 500 in the HD version).

You can find two Great Fairies in the game who can expand your Wallet's capacity. The first is located on Outset Island, and upgrades the wallet to hold up to 1,000 Rupees at a time. The second is located on Northern Fairy Island, and upgrades your wallet to hold up to 5,000 Rupees at a time.

Pirate's Charm[edit]

LOZWW Pirate's Charm.png

A charm given to Link at the beginning of the game by Tetra. It allows Tetra to communicate with Link when they're separated from each other. The King of Red Lions can also talk to Link through the charm. It functions similar to Navi the fairy from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Tatl from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

Bomb Bag[edit]

LOZWW Bomb Bag.png

A bag that holds all of Link's bombs. The limit of bombs that can be held can be upgraded by a Great Fairy.

Quiver[edit]

LOZWW Quiver.png

Holds all of Link's arrows. The limit of arrows that can be held can be upgraded by a Great Fairy

Power Bracelets[edit]

LOZWW Power Bracelets.png

The Power Bracelets give Link the ability to lift and push large objects that were too heavy to move before. They can be found on an island south of Dragon Roost Island, called Fire Mountain, located at F3. You'll need the Power Bracelets to enter the Earth Temple.

Inventory[edit]

Telescope[edit]

LOZWW Telescope.png

Link gets the Telescope early in the game from Aryll after the Hero's clothes. Link should tilt the left control stick up to zoom in and vice versa. Also, Link can tilt the right control stick in any direction to move where Link can see. In the Wii U version, you can also move the tablet to change your view.

Sail[edit]

LOZWW Sail.png

Link buys it from Zunari in Windfall Island after being chucked out of the Forsaken Fortress by the Helmroc King. Press A while on the King of Red Lions to take it out, speeding you up if the wind is in the direction Link is facing. Press A to put it back.

Wind Waker[edit]

LOZWW Wind Waker.png

The King of Red Lions gives it to Link after reaching Dragon Roost Island for the first time. Link must learn songs to use it. One of them is Wind's Requiem. It changes the course of the wind. The Balled of Gales lets Link warp. The Command Melody lets Link control someone. The Song of Passing lets Link turn day to night and vice versa. The Earth God's Lyric lets Link open the Medli stone slab. The Wing God's Aria lets Link open the MedMarkarli stone slab.

Tingle Tuner[edit]

LOZWW Tingle Tuner.png

The Tingle Tuner (replaced by the now defunct Tingle Bottle in the HD remake) is received after rescuing Tingle from his imprisonment on Windfall Island. If you use this item with a Game Boy Advance connected to any controller socket other than socket 1, a friend can use the rupees you've earned to aid your quest in many different ways, which includes but is not limited to dropping bombs to destroy objects and giving instantaneous red, green or blue potions.

Note: This item is exclusively on the original GameCube release. The HD remake has the Tingle Bottle, which enables the player to take in game selfies and send them to Miiverse, which is why the item is now rendered useless, as Miiverse was shut down in June of 2018

Picto Box[edit]

LOZWW Picto Box.png

Link gets the Picto Box after freeing Tingle and finding the exit to the maze. It takes photos but they are only black and white.

Deluxe Picto Box[edit]

LOZWW Deluxe Picto Box.png

The Deluxe Picto Box can take color pictographs after Link completes the picture taking sidequest.

Grappling Hook[edit]

LOZWW Grappling Hook.png

Deku Leaf[edit]

LOZWW Deku Leaf.png

The Deku leaf is used at the forbidden woods. You get this from the great Deku tree. Use it with the item buttons (for the game cube its: Y button, Z button, and X button). Use the Deku Leaf to glide over cliffs to the other side. When using the leaf, your magic bar drains, so you have a time-limit of sorts when using it for long distances. Later on you will get a larger magic bar, which will make this item easier to use. On the top left corner, where the hearts, you can see the green magic bar.

Boomerang[edit]

The Light Arrows are obtained very late in the game, during the final fight with Phantom Ganon. Not only are they one of the few weapons that can damage Ganondorf, they can also slay any non-boss enemy in one hit! Each Light Arrow fired takes up a small part of your Magic Meter.

LOZWW Magic Armor.png

To obtain magic armor (which only keeps you from losing health), you need to talk to Zunari in Windfall to get the Town Flower. Head over to Great Fish Isle, and trade the Town Flower to Goron Merchent-Man in exchange for the Sea Flower. Give this back to the merchant to get the Exotic Flower. Return to Windfall Island and talk to Zunari to obtain the Magic Armor.

Joy Pendant[edit]

If you give a Joy Pendant to Mrs Marie (there is one in the tree next to the Bomb Shop) she will give Link 20 rupees. If you give her 20 (there is 4 you can get from the 3 Bokoboklins and a treasure chest in one room) you will get the Cabana Deed. If you give her 40 you will get a piece of heart in the wii u version. The best way to get them are from Bokoboblins.

Small Key[edit]

LOZWW Small Key.png

Small Keys are found in dungeons, and are used to open locked doors. Small Keys can only be used once, and vanish after they are used — you'll need to find another Small Key if you come across another locked door. Every locked door in a dungeon has a corresponding Small Key, so don't worry about running out.

Big Key[edit]

LOZWW Big Key.png

The Big Key is found once in every dungeon and is used to unlock the room that contains the dungeon's boss (Small Keys don't work on boss-room doors). As with Small Keys, Big Keys vanish once you use them.

Bomb Flower[edit]

LOZWW Bomb Flower.png

Rupees[edit]

LOZWW Purple Rupee.png

Rupees are the currency used across the world. You can find Rupees just about everywhere (not just in dungeons). When you collect Rupees, they will be stored in your wallet. If your wallet is full, then excess Rupees will vanish into nothingness. Rupees can be found in several different colors and each is worth a different amount. Accordingly, the more valuable Rupees are found less often than the less valuable ones.

  • Green Rupee, worth 1 Rupee
  • Blue Rupee, worth 5 Rupees
  • Yellow Rupee, worth 10 Rupees
  • Red Rupee, worth 20 Rupees
  • Purple Rupee, worth 50 Rupees
  • Orange Rupee, worth 100 Rupees
  • Silver Rupee, worth 200 Rupees

Bottles[edit]

Empty Bottle[edit]

LOZWW Empty Bottle.png

Fairy[edit]

LOZWW Fairy.png

Fairies are relatively rare items that restore Link's health in a pinch. You can usually find them just before you fight the boss of a dungeon, or at Fairy Fountains hidden throughout the Great Sea. If you touch a Fairy, it will fill up to ten of Link's hearts. Alternatively, you can catch a Fairy in an empty bottle and carry it with you to use later. Even better, if you have a Fairy in a bottle and you run out of health, the Fairy will heal you automatically, averting a Game Over situation.

Red Potion[edit]

LOZWW Red Potion.png

A Red Potion refills Link's hearts. You can get a Red Potion by giving Doc Bandham several Red Chu Jellies. You'll find him on Windfall Island.

Green Potion[edit]

LOZWW Green Potion.png

A Green Potion refills Link's Magic Meter. You can get a Green Potion by giving Doc Bandham several Green Chu Jellies.

Blue Potion[edit]

LOZWW Blue Potion.png

Water[edit]

LOZWW Water.png

Link gets the Water from the dried up hot springs to pour onto the dry bomb flowers to release all of the water from the big rock.

Forest Water[edit]

LOZWW Forest Water.png

Firefly[edit]

Elixir Soup[edit]

LOZWW Elixir Soup.png

Elixir Soup is an amazing recipe that not only refills Link's hearts to full, it also energizes his sword arm. Link will then deal double damage with all of his attacks until he takes damage from an enemy. What's more, you can drink Elixir Soup twice before you have to get more (regular Potions are consumed in their entirety when you drink them).

To get Elixir Soup, heal your grandmother with a Fairy during a story event. After that, just talk to her and she will fill up your Bottle for you.
