The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker/Items

Equipment

Hero's Clothes

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

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 .

Master Sword

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

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

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 , and use it while moving by -targeting to allow for more mobility.

Mirror Shield

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

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

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

A bag that holds all of Link's bombs. Initially you can only carry up to 30 bombs at once, but you can find two Great Fairies in the game who can expand your Bomb Bag's capacity. The first is located on Eastern Fairy Island, and upgrades your Bomb Bag to hold up to 60 bombs at a time. The second is located on Southern Fairy Island, and upgrades your Bomb Bag to hold up to 99 bombs at a time.

Quiver

A quiver that holds all of Link's arrows. Initially you can only carry up to 30 arrows at once, but you can find two Great Fairies in the game who can expand your Quiver's capacity. The first is located on Western Fairy Island, and upgrades your Quiver to hold up to 60 arrows at a time. The second is located on Thorned Fairy Island, and upgrades your Quiver to hold up to 99 arrows at a time.

Power Bracelets

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

Telescope

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

Link buys it from Zunari in Windfall Island after being chucked out of the Forsaken Fortress by the Helmroc King. Press 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 to put it back.

Wind Waker

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

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

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

After Link completes the picture taking sidequest, Lenzo will upgrade his Picto Box (in the GameCube version, a Firefly from the Forest Haven is required first). The Deluxe Picto Box can take color pictographs, which is required for the Nintendo Gallery hidden in the Forest Haven.

Grappling Hook

Medli gives Link the Grappling Hook at the peak of Dragon Roost Cavern. Use it with the item buttons to throw it towards certain overhead posts, letting you swing across large gaps. You can also use it in combat to snatch Rupees or other goodies from enemies. When used while on the King of Red Lions, it becomes a crane that can pull treasure up from the bottom of the sea.

Deku Leaf

The Deku Leaf is given to Link by the Great Deku Tree in the Forest Haven. Use it with the item buttons to blow a strong gust of wind forward on the ground, or to glide through the air while jumping. While gliding with the leaf, your magic bar will slowly drain, so you have a time-limit of sorts when using it for long distances.

Boomerang

The Boomerang is found in the Forbidden Woods. Use it with the item buttons to go into an over-the-shoulder aiming mode. You can "paint" up to five targets at once with it, and when the button is released, Link will throw the Boomerang to hit each target in order. The Boomerang is also useful for collecting stray items or stunning enemies in combat.

Bombs

The Bombs are given to Link by Niko during the Return to Windfall Island. Use them with the item buttons to pull out a bomb, then press to throw it forward, or to place it in front of you. This can be useful for blowing away obstacles or dealing with groups of enemies, but be careful not to blow yourself up! When used while on the King of Red Lions, it becomes a cannon with which to fire at naval enemies.

Hero's Bow

The Hero's Bow is found in the Tower of the Gods. Use it with the item buttons to go into a first-person aiming mode, press the button again to nock an arrow, and release to shoot. This is not only a good weapon for ranged combat, but can also activate distant switches.

Fire and Ice Arrows

Link is given the Fire and Ice Arrows by the Fairy Queen after using the Ballad of Gales to warp into the Mother and Child Islands, but only after he's saved Aryll from the Forsaken Fortress. Fire Arrows can melt icy obstacles, burn away certain curtains, and deal twice as much damage as normal arrows, while Ice Arrows can freeze enemies solid, briefly immobilizing them as well as leaving them open to a finishing blow with the Skull Hammer. However, each Fire or Ice Arrow fired will consume a small portion of your Magic Meter.

Light Arrows

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.

Skull Hammer

The Skull Hammer is found in the return-trip to the Forsaken Fortress. Use it with the item button to swing it down in front of you, pounding down certain switches as well as producing a small shockwave that will stun nearby enemies. You can also use it in combat as you would any other two-handed weapon, but this means you cannot use your shield at the same time, and it's somewhat slow, as well.

Iron Boots

The Iron Boots are found inside the cave hidden in the Ice Ring Isle. Use them with the item buttons to toggle them on or off. While wearing the Iron Boots, you won't be able to move very fast, but their weight will prevent you from being blown around by strong winds, and will weigh down certain springboards to launch you high into the air.

Hookshot

The Hookshot is found in the Wind Temple. Use it with the item buttons to enter a first-person aiming mode, then press the button again to fire it out. This spring-powered gadget will pull Link towards anything it can latch onto, and using it in conjunction with the Iron Boots will let you pull certain heavy object off of walls.

Hero's Charm

In the GameCube version, Link is given this by Mrs. Marie on Windfall Island in return for giving her an additional 20 Joy Pendants after obtaining the Cabana Deed from her, while in the Wii U version, it is found at the bottom of the Savage Labyrinth hidden on Outset Island. Unlike most other equipment, this must be manually toggled on the Quest Status screen. When active, the Hero's Charm will allow you to see the life meters of enemies and bosses.

Magic Armor

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. Use it with the item buttons to toggle a magical barrier that prevents you from taking damage, but while it's active, it'll steadily drain your Magic Meter in the GameCube version or your Rupees in the Wii U version.

Bags and their contents

Spoils Bag

This bag is primarily used to hold up to eight different kinds of items that defeated enemies drop.

Darknuts drop these if you hit them with your Grappling Hook. If you give Orca on Outset Island ten Knight's Crests, he will teach you to perform the Hurricane Spin attack.

Joy Pendant

If you give a Joy Pendant to Mrs. Marie on Windfall Island (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 the Hero's Charm in the GameCube version, or a Piece of Heart in the Wii U version. The best way to get them are from Bokoboblins.

Skull Necklace

If you give Maggie's father twenty Skull Necklaces, he will give you Treasure Chart #2. You can find him on Windfall Island, after you defeat the Helmaroc King. The best way to get them are from Moblins.

Sea Chart

Treasure Chart

Ghost Ship Chart

The Ghost Ship Chart is found at the end of the maze inside Diamond Steppe Island. This shows which island the Ghost Ship is located on each phase of the moon.

In-Credible Chart

The In-Credible Chart is sent to Link in the mail for 201 rupees after saving Aryll from the Forsaken Fortress. This chart shows where each Triforce Chart is hidden, as well as their respective Triforce Piece once the chart has been deciphered. Once each chart and piece is collected, it is automatically crossed out.

Triforce Chart

The Triforce Charts are found hidden across the Great Sea which show the way to one of the pieces of the Triforce of Courage, but are indecipherable on their own. You'll have to pay a visit to Tingle on Tingle Island and pay him 398 rupees each to make them readable to you. In the GameCube version there is a chart for each Triforce Piece, while in the Wii U version there are only charts for three of the Triforce Pieces.

Dungeon Items

Dungeon Map

The Dungeon Map allows you to view a complete map of the dungeon it is found in. The room you are currently in will flash, while unvisited rooms are black.

Dungeon Compass

The Compass allows you to see the location of treasure chests and the boss in the dungeon it is found in.

Small Key

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

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.

Boko Stick

Boko Sticks are surprisingly useful for just being large sticks; besides being able to whack enemies with them, you can also light them to light torches or burn away obstacles in your path.

Enemy Weapons

If Link knocks down certain weapon-wielding enemies, they will drop their weapons, letting him pick them up to use against them. While larger and more powerful than your sword, these are often slower as well, and you cannot use your shield while carrying these.

Bomb Flower

Bomb Flowers are explosive plants that are useful for blasting away obstacles or dealing with groups of enemies. Take care not to blow yourself up!

Rupees

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

Empty Bottle

Empty Bottles are useful for carrying all sorts of things. There are four Empty Bottles you can find across your quest:

• The first is given to you by Medli on Dragon Roost Island for helping her reach Dragon Roost Cavern.
• The second is given to you by Mila on Windfall Island after you catch her trying to steal from Zunari's safe.
• The third is found in a submarine off the coast of Bomb Island.
• The fourth is sold by Masked Beedle for 500 rupees after obtaining Beedle's Chart.

Fairy

Fairies are relatively rare collectibles 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

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

Green Potion

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

Blue Potion

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

Water

Water on its own isn't of much use, but it can be sprinkled on dried-out plants to revitalize them.

Forest Water

Forest Water can be found in the Forest Haven. This special water can be sprinkled an unlimited amount of times, but only lasts for 20 minutes in the GameCube version or 30 minutes in the Wii U version before it becomes ordinary water. You will have to use Forest Water if you want to revive the Korok's withering saplings after finishing the Forbidden Woods.

Firefly

Fireflies can be found in the Forest Haven. Catching one of these is required to obtain the Deluxe Picto Box.

Elixir Soup

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 when returning to Outset Island. After that, just talk to her and she will fill up your Bottle for you, but you can only have one bottle of Elixir Soup at a time.
