 ===Master Sword===
-The Master Sword, which appeared in Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, A Link to the Past, and arguably the Oracle games, is first forged in Skyward Sword. It is the fully upgraded form of the Skyward Sword, and resembles the Skyward Sword's spirit Phi. Since Phi isn't seen in any other game, it's possible that she may have to make some sacrifice to make this transformation. This sword has the power to repel evil. It will eventually be placed in the Pedestal of Time within the Temple of Time as a key to the Sacred Realm

+==Items and Weapons==
+===Bow and Arrow===
+Almost every Zelda title thus far has made use of the Bow and Arrow, and this one is no different. This time, however, the item will be controlled using Wii Motion Plus. With the Wii remote in the right hand and the Nunchuck in the left, players will pull back the Nunchuck just like they are pulling back the string on a bow, holding the C button on the Nunchuck and releasing to shoot an arrow. As usual you can shoot enemies with the bow, and items can be knocked off trees and other objects. Additionally, items dropped by enemies (such as hearts) can also be shot with the bow and pinned to walls. Apparently, by doing this, Link can reclaim his dropped heart as well as his arrow.
-==Equipped Items and Weapons==
+Since the Bow and Arrow must be aimed with Wii Motion Plus, it cannot be used quickly in combat as easily as before. Another weapon now fits that battle role, the Slingshot.
-===Bow and Arrow===
-The bow and arrow is used by holding the Wii-mote up and down in front of the screen to aim and holding C on the nunchuck and pulling back then letting go of C to shoot. There is a power meter based on how long you hold back the nunchuck before releasing C. Although it takes a lot more work than the Slingshot you are rewarded with a more powerful weapon. This weapon is good against enemies such as hanging Skulltulas and hanging Deku Babas.

 ===Beetle===
-A new item, only referred to as the "Beetle", gives Link the ability to grab from long distances away. Player will equip the Beetle and release it with a button, thus taking control of the item as it flies through the air. Releasing the Beetle is a lot like aiming the Slingshot, and players choose a direction before releasing. Players will be given a 3rd-person perspective from behind the Beetle as it flies, controlling its path by tilting the Wii Remote. Flying into distant items, the Beetle will pick these up and return them to Link. The Beetle is also able to drop items, such as bombs, in flight. However, running into a wall will knock the Beetle down, resulting in having to re-equip the Beetle and try again. The Beetle is a mostly gold insect like item with a jade abdomen and dark gold claws. Its design is not based off of any past Zelda item.
+A new item, named the "Beetle" due to its resemblance to the insect of the same name, is a small mechanical-like device that can fly to reach areas Link could not reach himself. Players will equip the Beetle to the B button and release it with the A button, thus taking control of the item with Wii Motion Plus as it flies through the air, given a 3rd-person perspective from behind the Beetle as it flies. The Beetle has a limited distance it can fly before it shuts off and has to be re-equipped and re-launched, and must also be re-equipped when it hits a wall or other obstacle. Link can also call back the Beetle at any time during its flight.
+The initial Beetle can be used to cut down spider webs or hit switches in otherwise unreachable areas. Upon defeating the Stalfos mini-boss in the Sky Temple, Link can obtain an Upgrade for his Beetle, which gives the Beetle a large pair of pincers. The pincers allow the Beetle to pick up and carry items to return to Link. The player can press the Z button while carrying the object to look down and drop the cargo. The Upgraded Beetle is also capable of cutting down Deku Babas at the stem.
+As most items can be upgraded throughout the game, the Beetle too has other upgrades that can be obtained later on in the game. One confirmed upgrade for the Beetle is an increase in speed. It is unknown whether this will be another upgrade obtained within the dungeon like the Pincers or if it will be an optional upgrade from collected materials.
 ===Whip===
+An item more recently added to the Zelda series with Spirit Tracks, the Whip makes a return in Skyward Sword. With the Wiimote, players can swing the Whip in any direction to cut down grass or stun enemies at a distance. You can also use the whip to grab items and pull them back by yanking the Wiimote back toward yourself. Some enemies, such as Keese, can be defeated by the Whip, but larger enemies can only be knocked back and stunned, opening them up to sword attacks. It is unclear what other functions the Whip may be used for, such as swinging from objects like in Spirit Tracks.

 ===Green Tunic===
+==Bottles==
+===Red Potion===
+Link's trusty medicine makes its return Skyward Sword and as always it must be stored within a bottle. The bottle can be equipped and drunk without a break in gameplay, meaning you will be vulnerable while drinking. Unlike before, though, Link will be able to continue moving while drinking. When Link drinks a Red Potion, several of his hearts are replenished.
+===Fairy===
+Recovery fairies can be found throughout the game and they will fill up a number of Link's hearts when used. Link can store fairies inside of bottles and release them whenever he'd like. If Link has a fairy stored within a bottle, after he dies, the fairy will automatically be used to restore Link's life.
+Fairies can be found in fairy fountains, underneath pots, or by breaking crates and other objects.
+===Fungal Spores===
+Just what purpose these items serve is unclear. They can be acquired by cutting large blue mushrooms found in the Sky Temple and scooping the spores it releases into a Bottle. The in-game description for these items is vague, which implies the item's function could only come into play when doing something else. It is possible Fungal Spores are an item required to upgrade your equipment or an ingredient in mixing potions of some kind.
+==Quest Items==
+===Bird Statue===
+The Bird Statue can be obtained during Flight Training at the start of the game. In this mini game, you must use your aerial skills to fly up to a bird holding the statue, and take it from him to win the mini game.
+===Gold Sculpture===
+You can find the Gold Sculpture inside a Treasure Chest in the Sky Temple. It must be properly rotated to fit inside an indention in a hole leading to the boss of the dungeon. When it is rotated correctly, it will start to glow.
+==Miscellaneous==
+===Lyre===
+This lyre originally belonged to Zelda. She holds it when she jumps down to Link after his victory in the birdriding competition. Eventually, Link receives this instrument and can play it by pressing up on the D-pad. The lyre will have a similar function to the Spirit Flute, Wind Waker, and Ocarina of previous games. Zelda's lyre is similar in shape to Sheik's lyre in Ocarina of Time. One may be the same as or based on the other.
+===Heart Containers===
+These have appeared since the first Zelda game and return in Skyward Sword as the items that increase Link's maximum hearts by 1. They will be acquired after each boss battle as usual, with a gorgeous new ornate appearance. It is incredibly likely that you will be able to acquire more Heart Containers by collected several Heart Pieces in the world, but this is unconfirmed.
+===Pieces of Heart===
+===Recovery Hearts===
+The usual method for recovering life returns in Skyward Sword. These can be received from enemies, pots, jars, and grass, and fill up one heart each. They can be pinned to a wall with the Bow as they are floating through the air, though it unclear how useful this will be.
+===Rupees===
+Rupees are the standard currency of the Zelda world and return in Skyward Sword. So far 3 different colors of Rupee have been confirmed to appear in Skyward Sword, greem, blue, and red. It is likely they provide the same amount of Rupees as always, and if this is the case then Green Rupees shall be worth 1, Blue Rupees will be worth 5, and Red Rupees will be worth 20.
 ==Upgrade System==
 Skyward Sword is going to have an intricate upgrade system in the game where link uses items he gets from killing enemies and rupees to make his items better throughout the game.  Most of the the items are up-gradable. To upgrade your item you have to see the tinkerer located in the Bazaar in Skyloft.
