Letter
Template:Item The Letter is an item that appears in multiple Zelda games. There are many different letters, but the only two unspecific letters are the ones in The Legend of Zelda and Link's Awakening.
Legend of Zelda
In The Legend of Zelda, the Letter is given to Link by the Old Man in a cave in the northeast of Hyrule. He instructs him to give it to the Old Woman. As long as Link has the letter, the Old Woman, whom can be found in many caves across the world, will sell him potions, such as the Red Medicine and Blue Medicine.
Link's Awakening
The Letter is a Trading Sequence item in Link's Awakening. Link receives it from the goat-woman named Christine in Animal Village. If he delivers it to Mr. Write, he can exchange it for the Broom.

In addition, letters are delivered to Link over the course of the game through Post Boxes, which shake when they have mail. The Rito are in charge of delivering the mail, and there is a mini-game on Dragon Roost Island where Link can apply for a part-time job sorting letters.

Letters called Prize Postcards can be sent in postboxes to enter a contest, where Link may receive a random Treasure.
