The Magnifying Lens is the final item in the trading sequence in Link's Awakening.

Its main use is to read the "true path" through the Wind Fish's egg. It can also be used to obtain the boomerang.
Power/abilities
The magnifying lens has a passive effect, meaning 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 called "Dark Secrets of Koholint Island", which is too small to read without one. This book is found in the library and, without it, it is almost impossible to complete the game.
The only other use it has is to get the boomerang. With the magnifying lens in Link's possession, he is able to see a Goriya living in a cave on the beach. He is willing to trade a boomerang for "the item in your B slot". If Link just gives him the Shovel, he will acquire the boomerang. The Goriya will allow a trade back at any time, with no consequences. This is the only time Goriyas are shown in-game.
