The Letter is an item that appears in multiple The Legend of Zelda games. There are many different letters, most of them with names attached to them, like Renado's Letter. However, there are also two unspecific letters in The Legend of Zelda and Link's Awakening, which are commonly referred to as simply Letters.

Appearances

The Legend of Zelda

In The Legend of Zelda, the Letter is given to Link by the Old Man in a cave in the northeast of Hyrule, a couple screens northwest of the Lost Hills. He instructs him to give it to the Old Woman.[1] As long as Link has the letter, the Old Woman, who can be found in many caves across the world, will sell him potions, such as the Water of Life and the 2nd Potion[2] in her Potion Shops.

Link's Awakening

The Letter is a Trading Sequence item in Link's Awakening. Link receives it from the goat-woman named Christine in Animal Village, who asks Link to deliver it to Mr. Write.[3] If he successfully delivers it to Mr. Write, Mr. Write is very happy to receive a letter, as usually he only sends them.[4] As a thank you gift to Link for giving him the letter, Mr. Write gives Link the Broom.[5]

Ocarina of Time

Main article: Zelda's Letter
Main article: Ruto's Letter

In Ocarina of Time, Princess Zelda gives Link a letter in order to get past the guard in Kakariko Village and enter the Death Mountain Trail. Later, Link finds a bottle at the bottom of Lake Hylia with a Letter from Ruto inside of it.

The Wind Waker

Main article: Father's Letter
Main article: Maggie's Letter
Main article: Moblin's Letter

In The Wind Waker, Medli gives Link a letter to hand to Prince Komali from his father. Moe, a Moblin, and Maggie, a girl on Windfall Island, also both exchange letters to one another.

In addition, letters are delivered to Link over the course of the game through Postboxes, which shake when they have mail. The Rito are in charge of delivering the mail, and there is a mini-game on Dragon Roost Island where Link can apply for a part-time job sorting letters.

Twilight Princess

The Postman delivers letters to people all across Hyrule. Link receives many letters throughout Twilight Princess.

Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks

Main article: Prize Postcard

Letters called Prize Postcards can be sent in postboxes to enter a contest, where Link may receive a random Treasure.

Like in The Wind Waker, letters are received from shaking postboxes. In Phantom Hourglass, the Postman reads the letters aloud. However, in Spirit Tracks, things have changed because some people considered it rude, so Link keeps the letters.

Skyward Sword

Main article: Cawlin's Letter

In Skyward Sword, Cawlin gives Link a letter to deliver to Karane during a sidequest.
