A Link Between Worlds Maiamai Locations

We are working on a detailed listing, along with screenshot images and maps of all locations. Check back later tonight or tomorrow for updates.

Mother Maiamai

Maiamais are pink creatures with shells on their backs, resembling a hermit crab in real life. Due to their small size they can be hard to see and most of the time they are completely hidden fom view. To start the quest to look for Maiamais, you must speak to Mother Maiamai. Mother Maiamai can be found in a cave just southeast of your house. You will need the bombs to blow up the boulder blocking the cave. You can go inside and speak to Mother Maiamai. She will say that she has lost all 100 of her babies and asks you to find them. For every ten Maiamais you get, she will upgrade your items. If you find all 100 of her babies, she will upgrade your spin attack to the great spin attack, making it double its original size.
