Arrows
These babies are a classic item from the Zelda series. Shooting enemies from a distance is a great way to avoid unnecessary damage as well as deal a crucial blow to those weak against this form of attack. Watch your Rupees though, each Arrow you use costs one! They can be bought at several shops throughout Hyrule but you'll need the Bow before you can use them.

Arrows, Silver
This is the only weapon that can defeat Ganon, the final boss of the game. It's pretty imperative to your quest as a result. =P This upgrade is found in the last dungeon (Level 9) in both Quest.

Bait
These pieces of meat can be used to lure Dodongos wherever you like as well as feed the hungry people in the later dungeons. You'll need it to proceed through the game, so purchase it as soon as you have enough (you'll need it multiple times). It can be purchased at several shops across Hyrule.

Bombs
Another classic item from the Zelda series. Lay one down and it will promptly explode, damaging nearby enemies. Some walls in dungeons as well as in the overworld can be bombed to reveal hidden areas and shortcuts. Many enemies occasionally drop them when defeated, and they can also be purchased at several shops across Hyrule.

Boomerang
Another instant classic for the Zelda series, the Boomerang allows you to retrieve items from a distance as well as stun or even kill weaker enemies. It's quite useful, especially when dealing with hordes of Keese (bats). This item is found in the first dungeon (Level 1) in both quests.

Boomerang, Magic
This upgraded Boomerang increases your range to the entire screen. Not much else to say. This item is found in the second dungeon (Level 2) in both quests.

Bow
This item allows you to use the Arrows once you purchase them as well as the Silver Arrows later on. It's required to beat the game, so make sure you get it. This item is found in the first dungeon (Level 1) in both quests.

Candle, Blue
The Blue Candle allows you to create a pillar of fire in front of you which can harm foes, burn down bushes and light dark rooms. The Blue Candle can only be used once per screen, so you'll have to leave and return to use it again. It can be purchased at several shops across Hyrule.

Candle, Red
The Red Candle is the upgrade of the Blue one and allows you to create infinite pillars of fire on any screen. In the First Quest, it's found within Level 7. In the Second Quest, it's found within Level ???????.

Clock
Grab these power-ups whenever possible. They halt all foes in their tracks and render them harmless for one screen. They are occasionally dropped by enemies.

Compass
There is one Compass per dungeon and they allow you to see where the Pieces of Triforce are hidden. Often times, you will have to kill all the enemies in a room before it will appear.

Fairy
These mystical ladies will restore your life when found. Run for them when you see them, because they don't fly around for long! They are occasionally dropped by enemies, but you can also visit a Fairy Fountain to heal that way.

Key
To get through the various locked doors in the dungeons, you will need the to find Keys. They are found inside dungeons, sometimes only after you've defeated all the enemies in the room. They can also be purchased at various shops, but you should find more than enough.

Ladder
With this item, you are able to step across patches of water that block your path. Although its range is limited, this item is very useful. In the First Quest, it's found within Level 4. In the Second Quest, it's found within Level ???????.

Letter
There are several old women throughout Hyrule that will sell you Potions once you give them this item. It's found in the far northeast chunk of Hyrule, near the Money Making Game in the green tree. Click here for the Walkthrough section that deals with finding it.

Magic Book
This item merely upgrades your Magic Wand so that once its beam hits a target, it will burst into a flame, similar to the Candles. In the First Quest, it's found within Level 8. In the Second Quest, it's found within Level ???????.

Magic Wand
This item allows you to shoot beams anytime you want similar to those the Wizzrobes use. It's about the strength of the White Sword, so by the end of the game, it's really not the greatest. In the First Quest, it's found within Level 6. In the Second Quest, it's found within Level ???????.

Magical Key
Once you find this, you can unlock any door. Boring, but useful. It's found within Level 8 in both quests.

Magical Shield
This upgrade of your first shield deflects projectiles easier as well as some others that you previously couldn't defend against at all. It's quite worth the buy, but make sure you get it at a good price. It can be purchased at several shops across Hyrule.

Map
This item shows you how many screens there are in the dungeon. It can be very helpful for navigating. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell you were doors or walls are. There is one map to be found per dungeon, alike the Compass.

Power Bracelet

This item allows you to move some stones in the Overworld, some of which give you shortcuts (Warps) across Hyrule. It's not required in any way, it simply allows you to get some secrets.

In both quests, it's found under the top right Armos Statue in the northwest portion of Hyrule, near the Graveyard.
From the Graveyard, go right 2, up 1, right 1.
Or, from Start, go right 1, up 5, left 1, down 1, left 1, up 1, left 1.

Potion, Blue
These puppies instantly restore your life. It can only be used once, but if you buy another Blue one, the two will become a Red one. They can be purchased at several potion shops across Hyrule, but only if you have the Letter.

Potion, Red
Alike the Blue Potions, this drink will heal you completely. These ones have two "charges" so to speak, meaning after you use it once, it becomes Blue. They can be purchased at several potion shops across Hyrule, but only if you have the Letter.

Raft
There are some ports along the water in the Overworld. With this, you can use them to reach hidden areas. You'll need it to reach Level 4 as well as get a Heart Container. In the First Quest, it's found in Level 3. In the Second Quest, it's found in ?????

Recovery Heart
Pick these up to restore one piece of your life energy. They can be found by defeating enemies or bought at various shops (rip off).

Ring, Blue
This wonderful item cuts incoming damage by 1/2 and tints you blue. In both quests, you can buy it at the Special Shop for 250 Rupees. Don't be fooled by the steep price, it's one heck of a deal!

Ring, Red
Alike the Blue Ring, this one reduces damage to 1/4 that of normal and tints you red. In both quests, it's found in the final dungeon (Level 9).

Rupee
This is the currency of the Zelda series, gather all you can. And also, Rupees are a real form of currency in India, Pakistan and Ceylon. It means "wrought silver". These puppies can be found all over the place, for defeating enemies, or just a reward after clearing a room of foes. Also, a quick and easy way to get money is to find the Secret Rupee Locations or play the Money Making Game.

Sword, Wooden
This is the first sword you get. It's pretty weak, but reliable. To get it, enter the cave at the Starting Area.

Sword, White
This blade does twice the damage of the Wooden Sword. To get it, you'll need six Hearts. It's found in a cave near a waterfall in the northern area of Hyrule. Click here to use our Walkthrough.

Sword, Magical
The finally sword does four times to damage of the Wooden Sword. To get it, you'll need fourteen Hearts and the Power Bracelet. It's found under one of the graves in the top right of the Graveyard. Click here to use our Walkthrough.

Whistle
Play this instrument to summon a whirlwind to take you to dungeons you have already beaten. Some enemies are vulnerable to it as well, such as Pols Voice (rabbit looking bouncy enemies) and Digdogger. In the First Quest, it's found in Level 5. In the Second Quest, it's found in ????.
