This system allows [[Link]] to take items that he already has and enhance them using the [[Treasure]]s found on the [[Collection]] screen. For example, if Link has acquired all of the necessary materials, Link's old [[Wooden Shield]] is turned into a stronger, more durable [[Banded Shield]] at the [[Scrap Shop]]. Not only can Link upgrade his [[shield]]s, but also his items. An example is Link turning his [[Slingshot]] into a [[Scattershot]]. This is a unique way of keeping items from becoming unused, and unloved, like they have once or twice in previous ''Zelda'' titles.

After defeating [[Tentalus]], Link's Dowsing ability improves to let him have up to seven Dowsing Targets. After getting the upgrade, Link can get the following targets:


{{TODO|Detail how more items can be searched with [[Dowsing]] upgrade(s).}}
*[[Goddess Cube]]s: walk up to a dormant [[Goddess Chest]].
*[[Recovery Heart]]s: run low on hearts, then respond to Fi's alert.
*[[Treasure]]: talk to Gondo.
*[[Gratitude Crystal]]s: talk to [[Batreaux]].
*[[Rupee]]s: talk to a shopkeeper.


==A Link Between Worlds==
Link will still encounter quest dowsing targets, making it still entirely possible to run out of targets.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]'', upgrades are done by visiting [[Mother Maiamai]] and rescuing her missing children by groups of ten. Whenever [[Link]] finds a group of ten [[Maiamai]], he is prompted with the option of upgrading an item he purchased, not rented, through [[Ravio's Shop]]. Each item purchased from [[Ravio]] can be upgraded only once, and when all nine items have been enhanced, Link's [[Spin Attack]] can be upgraded to the [[Great Spin Attack]].
