The Magnifying Lens has a passive effect: it is always active. It has no effect on overall gameplay. The only time it is needed is to read the text of a book in the [[Mabe Village Library]] called "Dark Secrets of Koholint Island", which is too small to read without one.

The lens can also be used to get the Boomerang. With the Magnifying Lens in Link's possession, he is able to see a [[Goriya]] living in a cave on [[Toronbo Shores]]. He is willing to trade a Boomerang for "the item in your B slot". If Link accepts, he will acquire the boomerang. The Goriya will allow a trade back at any time, with no consequences. This is the only time a Goriya is shown in-game.
