The Magnifying Lens is the final item in the Trading Sequence in Link's Awakening. It is obtained from a hidden chest underneath the mermaid statue in Martha's Bay, which can be moved with a scale given to Link by Martha. Its main use is to read the "true path" through the Wind Fish's Egg. It can also be used to obtain the boomerang. The item is not required to complete the game, although it is helpful.
Uses
The Magnifying Lens has a passive effect: it is always active. It has no effect on overall gameplay. The only time it is needed is to read the text of a book in the Mabe Village Library called "Dark Secrets of Koholint Island", which is too small to read without one.
The lens can also be used to get the Boomerang. With the Magnifying Lens in Link's possession, he is able to see a Goriya living in a cave on Toronbo Shores. He is willing to trade a Boomerang for "the item in your B slot". If Link accepts, he will acquire the boomerang. The Goriya will allow a trade back at any time, with no consequences. This is the only time a Goriya is shown in-game.
One final use for the Magnifying Lens is to see an otherwise invisible Zora living in the northeastern house of Animal Village. The Photographer will take a picture of Link and the Zora.
