C-Button Items

Deku Sticks

These pieces of wood can be lit with torches, then carried around for a short while before they burn out. They are required in several of the dungeons to light torches in order to solve puzzles to proceed. A unique thing to mention about them is that they are twice as powerful as the Kokiri Sword but they break after making contact with an enemy or a wall.

They are commonly found in bushes, jars, shops and most notably by killing Deku Babas.

Deku Nuts

Available almost immediately, these funky little things can be thrown at the ground to briefly stun most enemies and even kill some of the weaker ones! Perhaps one of the more underused items in the game, Deku Nuts can be extremely useful against things like Fire and Ice Keese, Deku Babas, Leevers, Floor Masters and many other enemies.

They can be found in bushes, jars, shops, and most notably by killing Deku Babas.

Fairy Slingshot

Nice to have early on in the game, this ranged weapon allows you to shoot Deku Seeds at enemies or objects from afar. Perhaps most notably early on is the necessity to use it on 'eye switches,' which will allow you to solve puzzles found in dungeons.

This item is found Inside The Deku Tree, the first dungeon of the game. There are two Deku Seed Bullet Bag upgrades found in this game.

Bombs

A classic item for the Zelda series, Bombs play an important role in finding secrets found throughout Hyrule. Walls that have cracks (and sound funny when slashed with your sword) are sure to reveal secrets and hidden passageways. Also, while wandering through places like Hyrule Field, you may find spots where the Stone of Agony makes your controller shake, indicating a hidden hole nearby...

Additional Bombs may be found in bushes, jars or be purchased from various shops throughout Hyrule. You first find this item by obtaining the Bomb Bag from within Dodongo's Cavern, the second dungeon of the game. There are two Bomb Bag upgrades in Ocarina of Time.

Bombchus

A very iconic item, Bombchus will 'blink' at a slower rate than regular bombs, but blow up in a similar way. When you pull one out, it will scurry along the ground or walls as soon as you set it down, exploding when it either runs out of time or runs into something solid (such as a tree, torch, boulder or enemy). They really serve very little purpose other than to solve a puzzle in the Spirit Temple and Ganon's Castle.

While you can "play with them" early on in the Bombchu Bowling Alley mini-game in the Hyrule Town Market (past), you can only get them by finding them in chests in dungeons, or by purchasing them from the Bombchu Shop in the back alley of the Market (past) or from the Magic Carpet Salesman in the Haunted Wasteland (future).

Boomerang

Another classic item from the Zelda series to make an appearance, the Boomerang will kill weaker enemies and stun some of the tougher ones. Although not considered a "powerful" item, it has a different angle of ranged attack, creating interesting puzzles and also has the unique ability to retrieve items for you. This item is required in order to get several Gold Skulltula Tokens found in the past.

This item is found Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly, the third dungeon of the game.

Fairy Ocarina

The Ocarina allows you to play various mystical songs that you'll find throughout your journey. Although many or not "required" a few particular ones are. In the planning stages of Ocarina of Time, the development team had planned on implementing a musical instrument using the four C buttons and the A button, and after a little ways into the design process, it was decided to use the Ocarina for teleportation as well. It just "felt right."

This first variety of Ocarina is given to you by Saria when you leave Kokiri Forest.

Ocarina of Time

Although no different than the Fairy Ocarina, this upgraded wind instrument is required to open the Door of Time in the Temple of Time.

After completing all three of the first dungeons in the game and getting all three Spiritual Stones (Kokiri's Emerald, Goron's Ruby and Zora's Sapphire), you will recieve this item from Princess Zelda upon returning to the Hyrule Castle drawbridge.

Magic Beans

These greens will grow into magical plants if given a little TLC! Plant them in soft soil spots throughout Hyrule and they'll grow into Magic Bean Plants that you can return to as an adult and use them to get to hidden locations.

The only place in the game you can get them from is the Magic Bean Salesman near the beginning of Zora's River in the past. His price goes up as you keep buying them, but they're in limited supply and they're worth it!

Fairy Bow

A replacement for the Fairy Slingshot, you can use this bow as an adult to shoot arrows at distant enemies and, once again, shoot 'eye switches' in order to solve puzzles found in the dungeons. Although never hinted at too hard in the game, you can shoot arrows through torches to light them on fire, thus gaining the ability to light distant torches.

This item is the reward for defeating three Stalfos found within the Forest Temple, the fourth dungeon of the game.

Fire Arrow

This spell allows you to power up your arrows with fire, so make sure you get it!

In Lake Hylia, there is a tiny platform off in the deep water with two little pillars on it, while water fills the Lake, (Water Temple beaten,) stand on the little stone inscription next to the tree on the bigger island and shoot towards the sun at sunrise (use the Sun's Song to be quick). This will cause the Fire Arrows to appear on the little island across the way. Swim out to retrieve it. Alternatively, you can play the Scarecrow's Song to make Pierre appear, then use the Longshot to get across.

Ice Arrow

This totally optional spell powers up your arrows with ice, giving you the ability to freeze enemies. Unfortunately, you can only get it near the end of the game and it doesn't do any other cool things.

This spell is a reward for completing the Gerudo Training Grounds in the Gerudo Fortress.

Light Arrow

The only weapon capable of stunning the King of Evil, this spell powers your arrows up with light, giving you the ability to smite enemies with the powers of the goddesses.

Given to you by Princess Zelda after you have completed all five of the Temples and gathered all six of the Medallions.

Hookshot

Another classic item found in previous Zelda titles, the Hookshot makes an appearance, allowing you to target distant objects like torches, targets (square tiles with circles on them) and wooden logs or branches, and pull yourself to them. Able to kill weaker enemies and stun some of the medium strength ones, it can be very useful. Just watch out that you don't use it on heavier ones such as Like Likes, which will suck you into their mouth, GASP!

Found in the Kakariko Graveyard as a reward for racing Dampe as an adult.

Longshot

This upgarded version of the Hookshot does the exact same thing as the previous rendition, except it now can grapple things at twice the range, opening up a lot of more complex puzzle possibilities and empowering you to acquire even more Gold Skulltula tokens.

This item is a reward for defeating Dark Link, the mini-boss of the Water Temple, the seventh dungeon of the game.

Megaton Hammer

Yet another classic item found in previous titles, the Megaton Hammer allows you to smash enemies and hit the ground. Alike previous titles, the hammer allows you to flip enemies, making them completely vulnerable. The Hammer is a rather slow weapon, but can be used in place of the Master Sword and/or Biggoron's Sword. It's main use is to smash rusty switches as well as red boulders found throughout Hyrule and in particular on Death Mountain.

This item is found in the Fire Temple, the fifth dungeon of the game.

Lens of Truth

These mystical item will slowly drain your Magic away when activated, granting you the ability to "see the truth." Mainly an issue in the Bottom of the Well and in the Shadow Temple. The Lens will allow you to see through through fake walls as well as make visible things that you couldn't see before. There are a few places in the game later on where some enemies themselves are invisible and require the Lens to see and defeat effectively.

This item is the reward for defeating Dead Hand, the mini-boss found Within The Well, the second mini-dungeon of the game.

Din's Fire

Probably the most used spell in the game, (outside of the Fire Arrows,) Din's Fire allows you to create a sphere of Fire that extends outwards from Link's body, burning enemies and cobwebs as well as lighting torches. It does minimal damage, but is useful against several mini-bosses or when surrounded by several enemies.

Found in the Hyrule Castle area in the past, climb the vines and head right where you'll come to a boulder. Blow it up with a Bomb and crawl through the hole to find one of the Great Fairy Fountains. Inside, stand on the Triforce symbol and play Zelda's Lullaby to make the Great Fairy appear.

Farore's Wind

This spell can only be used within dungeons that have a dungeon map. It allows you to create a warp point wherever you wish, then teleport to it later on, or move your warp point elsewhere. Useful for areas where you don't want to fall down several floors or wish to return to the main room of the dungeon, or to make warp point to create a short cut to a path you wish to return to later.

Found in Zora's Fountain in the bottom-right corner of the map, there's a little island in the corner with a silver boulder. If you pick up the silver boulder (in the future) you'll find there's a crack in the wall, meaning the entire wall is bombable. This means you can bomb it as a child or an adult, and simply head inside, play Zelda's Lullaby on the Triforce symbol and the Great Fairy will give you this spell.

Naryu's Love

This spell uses a great deal of Magic power but makes you invulnerable for a short period of time. Unfortunately, you can't use any other Magical abilities while this spell is active, meaning: other spells, powering up your arrows, or a powered up Spin Attack cannot be used during the duration of this spell. The other unfortunate thing about this spell is that you still get knocked over when you get hit, you simply don't take damage from the knock back .

Found in the Desert Colossus, as soon as you enter the area from the Haunted Wasteland, head off to the right side (north part of the map) and find the two palm trees with the cracked wall between. Blow it open with a Bomb, head inside and play Zelda's Lullaby for the Triforce symbol to make the Great Fairy appear.

Empty Bottles

Bottles are a classic Zelda item that are in many of the games of the series. They allow you to carry all sorts of items, some useful, some silly. There are four bottles in total to be found in the game.

For more information, check out our bottles guide which shows how to get all four bottles as well as a list of all the items you can put in them.

Swords

Kokiri Sword

The Kokiri Sword is the first weapon obtained in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The blade is hidden in a chest, which in turn is hidden in a simple maze in Kokiri Forest. It is required, along with the Deku Shield, to gain access to the grove in which the Great Deku Tree grows. The weapon possesses modest strength and can only be used by child Link, however the fact that it is the only one of the three swords that child Link can utilize means that it is an invaluable asset during the earlier portions of the hero's quest. This same fact works in reverse to render the blade useless for adult Link.

Master Sword

The Master Sword is arguably the most important weapon in the game because it possesses the ability to defeat the power of evil and because it is the first weapon adult Link receives.

Biggoron Sword and Giant's Knife

In the future the Giant's Knife is available for sale at Medigoron's shop in Goron City. The Giant's Knife is a two-handed sword (you can't use a shield at the same time) that deals twice as much damage as the Master Sword and is the as the Biggoron Sword except that it breaks after several gits, making it only helpful for bosses and enemies with a lot of health. When the Giant's Knife breaks it becomes the Broken Giant's Knife which is still two-handed but only deals Kokiri Sword level damage, half that of the Master Sword.

Through a lengthy side quest you can obtain a Biggoron Sword from Biggoron who, like Medigoron, is a blade smith, but a much better one. His sword still does double damage and is two-handed but will never break.
