Upgrade System
Template:Shop Owner The Upgrade System is a feature that makes its first appearance in Skyward Sword.
Overview
This system allows Link to take items that he already has and enhance them using the Treasures 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. Not only can Link upgrade his shields, 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.
The tables below list only items than can be upgraded, detailing cost, item requirements, and the upgraded item's new name. A comprehesive list of all items can be found here.
