The '''Compass''' is a recurring dungeon item in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. It is generally used to indicate the [[Boss]] and [[Treasure Chest]] locations on [[Dungeon Map]]s.

The Compass in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' displays [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]]'s location on the minimap; and the location of the dungeon reward, in the room behind the [[The Legend of Zelda Bosses|boss]], as a blinking dot. In Levels 1-8, this is the [[Triforce Shard|Triforce of Wisdom fragment]]; and in [[Level 9: Death Mountain|Death Mountain]], it is used to show where [[Zelda (The Legend of Zelda)|Princess Zelda]] is imprisoned.

==''A Link to the Past''==

The Compass in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' displays the location of each Treasure Chest and the [[Nightmare]]. However, it also has a new feature; it beeps whenever [[Link (A Link to the Past)#Link's Awakening|Link]] enters a room with a [[Small Key]].

==''Ocarina of Time'' & ''Majora's Mask''==

The Compass in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'' tells [[Link (Oracle Series)|Link]] where all Treasure Chests are located in each dungeon. It also displays where the [[Ocarina of Time Bosses|Boss]] is located. Similar to the Compass in ''Link's Awakening'', this version of the Compass beeps whenever Link enters a room that has a Small Key in it.

==''The Wind Waker''==

The Compass in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'' displays the locations of Treasure Chests and the [[The Minish Cap Bosses|Boss]].

==''Twilight Princess''==  

However, it has a more advanced use in this game; it displays the location of certain items in each dungeon, and this ''item'' depends on which dungeon Link appears in. In the [[Forest Temple (Twilight Princess)|Forest Temple]], it displays where each caged [[Monkey]] can be found. In the [[Snowpeak Ruins]], the Compass displays the location of every [[Cannonball]] in the dungeon. Also, in the [[Temple of Time (Dungeon)|Temple of Time]], the Compass displays the location of the [[Ancient Statue]] that Link requires to reach the Boss, [[Armogohma]]. And, last but not least, in the [[Palace of Twilight]], the Compass displays the location of the two [[Sol]]s.

==''A Link Between Worlds''==
