Deku Sticks Child |
 |
These pieces of wood can be lit with torches, then carried around for a
short while before they burn out. They are required in several of the
dungeons to light torches in order to solve puzzles to proceed. A unique
thing to mention about them is that using them does weapon damage +1. This
means you can use one, Z-target and press A to perform a jump attack, doing
2+1 damage. Very useful for defeating bosses quickly, using the crouching
stab attack afterwards...
They are commonly found in bushes, jars, shops and most notably by killing
Deku Babas.

|
|
Deku Nuts Both |
 |
Available almost immediately, these funky little things can be thrown at the
ground to briefly stun most enemies and even kill some of the weaker ones!
Perhaps one of the more underused items in the game, Deku Nuts can be
extremely useful against things like Fire and Ice Keese, Deku Babas, Leevers,
Floor Masters and many other enemies.
They can be found in bushes, jars, shops, and most notably by killing Deku
Babas.

|
Fairy Slingshot Child |
 |
Nice to have early on in the game, this ranged weapon allows you to shoot
Deku Seeds at enemies or objects from afar. Perhaps most notably early on is
the necessity to use it on 'eye switches,' which will allow you to solve
puzzles found in dungeons.
This item is found Inside The Deku Tree, the first dungeon of the game.
There are two Deku Seed Bullet Bag upgrades found in this game.

|
Bombs Both |
 |
A classic item for the Zelda series, Bombs play an important role in finding
secrets found throughout Hyrule. Walls that have cracks (and sound funny
when slashed with your sword) are sure to reveal secrets and hidden
passageways. Also, while wandering through places like Hyrule Field, you may
find spots where the Stone of Agony makes your controller shake, indicating
a hidden hole nearby...
Additional Bombs may be found in bushes, jars or be purchased from various
shops throughout Hyrule. You first find this item by obtaining the Bomb Bag
from within Dodongo's Cavern, the second dungeon of the game. There are two
Bomb Bag upgrades in Ocarina of Time.

|
|
Bombchus Both |
 |
A very iconic item, Bombchus will 'blink' at a slower rate than regular
bombs, but blow up in a similar way. When you pull one out, it will scurry
along the ground or walls as soon as you set it down, exploding when it
either runs out of time or runs into something solid (such as a tree, torch,
boulder or enemy). They really serve very little purpose other than to solve
a puzzle in the Spirit Temple and Ganon's Castle.
While you can "play with them" early on in the Bombchu Bowling Alley
mini-game in the Hyrule Town Market (past), you can only get them by finding
them in chests in dungeons, or by purchasing them from the Bombchu Shop in
the back alley of the Market (past) or from the Magic Carpet Salesman in the
Haunted Wastleland (future).

|
|
Boomerang Child |
 |
Another classic item from the Zelda series to make an appearance, the
Boomerang will kill weaker enemies and stun some of the tougher ones.
Although not considered a "powerful" item, it has a different angle of
ranged attack, creating interesting puzzles and also has the unique ability
to retrieve items for you. This item is required in order to get several
Gold Skulltula Tokens found in the past.
This item is found Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly, the third dungeon of the game.
|  |
|
|
Fairy Ocarina Both |
 |
The Ocarina allows you to play various mystical songs that you'll find
throughout your journey. Although many or not "required" a few particular
ones are. In the planning stages of Ocarina of Time, the development team
had planned on implementing a musical instrument using the four C buttons
and the A button, and after a little ways into the design process, it was
decided to use the Ocarina for teleportation as well. It just "felt right."
This first variety of Ocarina is given to you by Saria when you leave Kokiri
Forest.
| |
|
|
Ocarina of Time Both |
 |
Although no different than the Fairy Ocarina, this upgraded wind instrument
is required to open the Door of Time in the Temple of Time.
After completing all three of the first dungeons in the game and getting all
three Spiritual Stones (Kokiri's Emerald, Goron's Ruby and Zora's Sapphire),
you will recieve this item from Princess Zelda upon returning to the Hyrule
Castle drawbridge.
|  |
|
|
Magic Beans Both |
 |
These greens will grow into magical plants if given a little TLC! Plant them
in soft soil spots throughout Hyrule and they'll grow into Magic Bean Plants
that you can return to as an adult and use them to get to hidden locations.
The only place in the game you can get them from is the Magic Bean Salesman
near the beginning of Zora's River in the past. His price goes up as you
keep buying them, but they're in limited supply and they're worth it!
|  |
|
|
Fairy Bow Adult |
 |
A replacement for the Fairy Slingshot, you can use this bow as an adult to
shoot arrows at distant enemies and, once again, shoot 'eye switches' in
order to solve puzzles found in the dungeons. Although never hinted at too
hard in the game, you can shoot arrows through torches to light them on
fire, thus gaining the ability to light distant torches.
This item is the reward for defeating three Stalfos found within the Forest
Temple, the fourth dungeon of the game.
|  |
|
|
Fire Arrow Adult |
 |
This spell allows you to power up your arrows with Fire, giving you the
ability to light distant torches, burn cobwebs and do significant harm to
ice type enemies. It is required for at least one puzzle in the game, so
make sure you get it!
In Lake Hylia, there is a tiny platform off in the deep water with two
little pillars on it, while water fills the Lake, (Water Temple beaten,)
stand on the little stone inscription next to the tree on the bigger island
and shoot towards the sun at sunrise (use the Sun's Song to be quick). This
will cause the Fire Arrows to appear on the little island across the way.
Swim out to retrieve it. Alternatively, you can play the Scarecrow's Song to
make Pierre appear, then use the Longshot to get across.
|  |
|
|
Ice Arrow Adult |
 |
This totally optional spell powers up your arrows with Ice, giving you the
ability to freeze enemies. Unfortunately, you can only get it near the end
of the game and it doesn't do any other cool things. =(
This spell is a reward for completing the Gerudo Training Grounds in the
Gerudo Fortress.
|  |
|
|
Light Arrow Adult |
 |
The only weapon capable of stunning the King of Evil, this spell powers your
arrows up with Light, giving you the ability to smite enemies with the
powers of the goddesses.
Given to you by Princess Zelda after you have completed all five of the
Temples and gathered all six of the Medallions.
|  |
|
|
Hookshot Adult |
 |
Another classic item found in previous Zelda titles, the Hookshot makes an
appearance, allowing you to target distant objects like torches, targets
(square tiles with circles on them) and wooden logs or branches, and pull
yourself to them. Able to kill weaker enemies and stun some of the medium
strength ones, it can be very useful. Just watch out that you don't use it
on heavier ones such as Like Likes, which will suck you into their mouth,
GASP!
Found in the Kakariko Graveyard as a reward for racing Dampe as an adult.
|  |
|
|
Longshot Adult |
 |
This upgarded version of the Hookshot does the exact same thing as the
previous rendition, except it now can grapple things at twice the range,
opening up a lot of more complex puzzle possibilities and empowering you to
acquire even more Gold Skulltula tokens.
This item is a reward for defeating Dark Link, the mini-boss of the Water
Temple, the seventh dungeon of the game.
| |
|
|
Megaton Hammer Adult |
 |
Yet another classic item found in previous titles, the Megaton Hammer allows
you to smash enemies and hit the ground. Alike previous titles, the Hammer
allows you to flip enemies. Unfortunately, the only enemy that can be
flipped with it is Torch Slugs, making them completely vulnerable. The
Hammer is a rather slow weapon, but can be used in place of the Master Sword
and Biggoron's Sword. It's main use is to smash Rusty Switches as well as
Red Boulders found throughout Hyrule and in particular on Death Mountain.
This item is found in the Fire Temple, the fifth dungeon of the game.
|  |
|
|
Lens of Truth Child |
 |
These mystical item will slowly drain your Magic away when activated,
granting you the ability to "see the truth." Mainly an issue Within The Well
and in the Shadow Temple, the Lens will allow you to see through through
fake walls as well as make visible things that you couldn't see before.
There are a few places in the game later on where some enemies themselves
are invisible and require the Lens to see and defeat effectively.
This item is the reward for defeating Dead Hand, the mini-boss found Within
The Well, the eighth dungeon of the game.
|  |
|
|
Din's Fire Both |
 |
Probably the most used spell in the game, (outside of the Fire Arrows,)
Din's Fire allows you to create a sphere of Fire that extends outwards from
Link's body, burning enemies and cobwebs as well as lighting torches. It
does minimal damage, but is useful against several mini-bosses or when
surrounded by several enemies.
Found in the Hyrule Castle area in the past, climb the vines and head right
where you'll come to a boulder. Blow it up with a Bomb and crawl through the
hole to find one of the Great Fairy Fountains. Inside, stand on the Triforce
symbol and play Zelda's Lullaby to make the Great Fairy appear.
|  |
|
|
Farore's Wind Both |
 |
This spell can only be used within dungeons that have a dungeon map. It
allows you to create a warp point wherever you wish, then teleport to it
later on, or move your warp point elsewhere. Useful for areas where you
don't want to fall down several floors or wish to return to the main room of
the dungeon, or to continually make warp points as a way to mark your path
and highlight areas you wish to return to later.
Found in Zora's Fountain in the bottom-right corner of the map, there's a
little island in the corner with a Silver Boulder. If you pick up the Silver
Boulder (in the future) you'll find there's a crack in the wall, meaning the
entire wall is bombable. This means you can Bomb it as a child or an adult,
and simply head inside, play Zelda's Lullaby on the Triforce symbol and the
Great Fairy will give you this spell.
|  |
|
|
Naryu's Love Both |
 |
This spell uses a great deal of Magic power and makes you invulnerable for a
short period of time. Unfortunately, you can't use any other Magical
abilities while this spell is active, meaning: other spells, powering up
your arrows, or a powered up Spin Attack. The other unfortunate thing about
this spell is that you still get knocked over when you get hit, you simply
don't take damage instead.
Found in the Desert Colossus, as soon as you enter the area from the Haunted
Wasteland, head off to the right side (north part of the map) and find the
two palm trees with the cracked wall between. Blow it open with a Bomb, head
inside and play Zelda's Lullaby for the Triforce symbol to make the Great
Fairy appear.
|  |
|
|
Empty Bottles Both |
 |
Bottles are a classic Zelda item that are in many of the games of the
series. They allow you to carry all sorts of items, some useful, some silly.
There are four bottles in total to be found in the game, and there's even a
glitch to make more bottles out of useless items...
For more information, check out our bottles guide which shows how to get all
four bottles as well as a list of all the items you can put in them.
