The '''Letter''' is a recurring item in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. There are many different letters, most of them with names attached to them, like [[Renado's Letter]]. However, there are also two unspecific letters in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', which are commonly referred to as simply ''Letters''.

==''The Legend of Zelda''==

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', the Letter is given to [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] by the [[Old Man]] in a cave in the northeast of [[Hyrule]], a couple screens northwest of the [[Lost Hills]]. He instructs him to give it to the [[Old Woman]].{{Ref|LoZ|47|[[Old Man]]}} As long as Link has the letter, the Old Woman, who can be found in many caves across the world, will sell him a pair of health-recovery [[potion]]s; the [[Life Potion]] and the [[2nd Potion]]{{Ref|LoZ|49|[[Old Woman]]}} in her [[Potion Shop (The Legend of Zelda)|Potion Shops]].

==''Link's Awakening''==

==''Ocarina of Time''==

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', [[Zelda (Ocarina of Time)|Princess Zelda]] gives [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] a [[Zelda's Letter|letter]] in order to get past the [[Death Mountain Trail Gatekeeper|gatekeeper]] at the northernmost point of [[Kakariko Village (Ocarina of Time)|Kakariko Village]] and enter the [[Death Mountain Trail]]. Later, Link finds a [[bottle]] at the bottom of [[Lake Hylia (Ocarina of Time)|Lake Hylia]] with a [[Ruto's Letter|Letter]] from [[Ruto]] inside of it.

==''Majora's Mask''==

 

==''The Wind Waker''==

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', [[Medli]] gives [[Link (The Wind Waker)|Link]] a [[Father's Letter|letter]] to hand to [[Prince Komali]] from his [[Rito Chieftain|father]]. [[Moe]], a [[Moblin]], and [[Maggie (The Wind Waker)|Maggie]], a girl on [[Windfall Island]], also both exchange letters to one another.

In addition, letters are delivered to Link over the course of the game through [[Postbox]]es, 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.

==''Four Swords Adventures''==

==''Twilight Princess''==

The [[Postman]] delivers letters to people all across Hyrule. [[Link (Twilight Princess)|Link]] receives many letters throughout ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''.

==''Phantom Hourglass & Spirit Tracks''==

Like in ''The Wind Waker'', letters are received from shaking postboxes. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'', the Postman reads the letters aloud. However, in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'', things have changed because some people considered it rude, so [[Link (Spirit Tracks)|Link]] keeps the letters.

==''Skyward Sword''==

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', [[Cawlin]] gives [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] a [[Cawlin's Letter|letter]] to deliver to [[Karane]] during [[Cawlin's Love Letter|a sidequest]].

 

The Letter is obtained from an [[Old Man]] in a cave on the south-facing shore north of [[Level 6 (BS The Legend of Zelda MAP 1)|Level 6 of MAP1]] and [[Level 6 (BS The Legend of Zelda MAP 2)|Level 6 of MAP2]]. It is required to buy [[Life Potion]] or [[2nd Potion]] from the [[Old Woman|Old Women]]'s [[Potion Shop (The Legend of Zelda)|Potion Shops]].
