== How to get it ==
The '''Cursed Medal''' is an optional item found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. It is one of the seven different medals found within the game, all with their own effects on [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]].


The Cursed Medal can be found after Link has given [[Batreaux]] 30 [[Gratitude Crystal]]s. Batreaux will reward Link with the [[Big Wallet]]. After he is done talking, a chest will appear to the side. If Link goes near it Batreaux will stop him and urge him not to open the chest. He states that the chest contains "...the infamous evil of the dreaded Cursed Medal." Go ahead and open the chest.
Once Link has collected thirty [[Gratitude Crystal]]s and given them to [[Batreaux]], he is rewarded with the [[Big Wallet]]. After he tells Link to please continue helping him,{{Ref|SS|4360|Batreaux}} a [[Treasure Chest|treasure chest]] appears to the side of the room. If Link goes near it, Batreaux stops him and urges him not to open the chest under any circumstances.{{Ref|SS|4380|Batreaux}} He states that the chest contains the Cursed Medal, a dreaded medal of the infamous evil according to the Demon. He describes the effects of the medal as Link can find more [[Rupee]]s than ever before and even have better chances of discovering [[treasure]],{{Ref|SS|4382|Batreaux}} but anyone who holds the Cursed Medal can not open their [[Adventure Pouch]], not letting him access his [[potion]]s or [[shield]]s. Batreaux asks Link if he can think of a more gruesome fate and tells him not to think of the chest ever again.{{Ref|SS|4383|Batreaux}} If Link ignores what he says and opens it anyways, he obtains the Cursed Medal.{{Ref|SS|419|In-Game Description}}


== Effects ==
Like stated by Batreaux, the Cursed Medal applies different effects on Link. When Link is carrying the medal, Rupees and Treasure appear with a greater frequency, combining the effects of the [[Rupee Medal|Rupee]] and [[Treasure Medal|Treasure]] medals, but he won't be able to open his Adventure Pouch.{{Ref|SS|721|In-Game Description}}{{Ref|pg. 18|The Cursed Medal confers the benefits of the Treasure Medal and the Rupee Medal all in one, but while carrying it you cannot use a shield or anything in your Adventure Poach.|''Prima Games Skyward Sword Strategy Guide''}}{{Ref|pg. 155|Although you can gather more Rupees after defeating foes, you can't open your Adventure's Pouch, effectively stopping you from using items like Bottles or Shields.|''Prima Games Skyward Sword Strategy Guide''}} Thus, when Link needs to find treasure or Rupees, the Cursed Medal is a great item for him to bring.{{Ref|pg. 15|This |''Prima Games Skyward Sword Strategy Guide''}} However, he is still able to use [[Fairy|Fairies]] if he has one in a [[Bottle]] and dies, but he cannot access it in his pouch.{{Ref|pg. 18|A Fairy in a Bottle will also save you; although you can't access it from your pouch, it still restores Hearts automatically if carried along with the Cursed Medal.|''Prima Games Skyward Sword Strategy Guide''}} Similarly, items that Link does not need to be equipped like [[Bomb Bag]]s or other medals still give effects to him.


The Cursed Medal applies a couple of different effects to Link. One is good, and one is bad. The good is that when Link is carrying it with him, [[Rupee]]s and [[Treasure]] will appear more often. The bad is that he will not be able to open his [[Adventure Pouch]] while he has it with him.
If Link needs to access his items in the pouch but is still carrying the Cursed Medal, the only way he can open his pouch again is to go to the [[Bazaar]] and give the medal to [[Peatrice]] at the [[Item Check]] shop.{{Ref|SS|4362|Batreaux}}{{Ref|pg. 155|Don't worry if you receive [the Cursed Medal]; simply head to the Bazaar and place it in the item check!|''Prima Games Skyward Sword Strategy Guide''}}
