Skyward Sword Upgrades
Below is a listing all of upgrades that can be found for every shield, item, and potion that can be acquired in Skyward Sword. Some upgrades are obtainable through the normal story of the game, but most are obtained from either the Scrap Shop or Infusion Shop. The items upgraded at the Scrap Shop require certain treasures to upgrade, while the ones at the Infusion Shop require certain bugs to upgrade. You will need to pay the Rupee fee associated with the upgrade. This ranges from item to item, but will grow higher each time you upgrade a certain item.
The treasures or bugs needed for upgrades can be found on islands across the Sky, or scattered across the Surface. To see a full list of the Treasures and where they can be found, head over to our Treasure page to learn more.
