The '''Upgrade System''' is a new feature that makes its first appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''.  
The '''Upgrade System''' is a feature that appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''.


This system allows [[Link]] to take items that he already has and enhance them using the [[Treasure]]s found around the world and gathered in the[[Collection]] screen. For example, if Link has acquired all of the necessary materials, Link's old [[Wooden Shield]] is turned into a stronger, more durable [[Banded Shield]].  
==Skyward Sword==
This system allows [[Link]] to take items that he already has and enhance them using the [[Treasure]]s found on the [[Collection]] screen. For example, if Link has acquired all of the necessary materials, Link's old [[Wooden Shield]] is turned into a stronger, more durable [[Banded Shield]] at the [[Scrap Shop]]. Not only can Link upgrade his [[shield]]s, but also his items. An example is Link turning his [[Slingshot]] into a [[Scattershot]]. This is a unique way of keeping items from becoming unused, and unloved, like they have once or twice in previous ''Zelda'' titles.


Not only can Link upgrade his [[shield]]s, but also his items. An example is Link turning his [[Slingshot]] into a [[Scattershot]].
The lists below only show items which can be upgraded, and the upgraded item's new name. A comprehensive list of all items can be found [[Skyward Sword Items|here]].


This is a unique way of keeping items from becoming un-used, and unloved, like they have once or twice in previous ''Zelda'' titles.
===Item Upgrades===
{{Main|Skyward Sword Upgrades}}


The '''Upgrade System''' is one of the many new, revolutionary up-sides to ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''.
;Shield upgrades:
*[[Wooden Shield]] → [[Banded Shield]] → [[Braced Shield]]
*[[Iron Shield]] → [[Reinforced Shield]] → [[Fortified Shield]]
*[[Sacred Shield]] → [[Divine Shield]] → [[Goddess Shield]]
 
;Ammunition capacity:
*[[Small Seed Satchel]] → [[Medium Seed Satchel]] → [[Large Seed Satchel]]
*[[Small Quiver]] → [[Medium Quiver]] → [[Large Quiver]]
*[[Small Bomb Bag]] → [[Medium Bomb Bag]] → [[Large Bomb Bag]]
 
;Other
*[[Hook Beetle]] → [[Quick Beetle]] →  [[Tough Beetle]]
*[[Bow|Wooden Bow]] → [[Iron Bow]] → [[Sacred Bow]]
*[[Slingshot]] → [[Scattershot]]
*[[Bug Net]] → [[Big Bug Net]]
 
===Potion Upgrades===
{{Main|Luv and Bertie's Potion Shop}}
*[[Heart Potion]] → [[Heart Potion +]] → [[Heart Potion ++]]
*[[Revitalizing Potion]] → [[Revitalizing Potion +]] → [[Revitalizing Potion ++]]
*[[Guardian Potion]] → [[Guardian Potion +]]
*[[Air Potion]] → [[Air Potion +]]
*[[Stamina Potion]] → [[Stamina Potion +]]
 
===Adventure Pouch===
{{Main|Skyward Sword Upgrades|section=Adventure Pouch Upgrades}}
[[File:Adventure-Pouch-Model.png|right]]
The Adventure Pouch's storage capacity can be upgraded from the default four to eight with four individual slots that are either bought or found.
 
One comes from activating the [[Goddess Cube]] in [[Deep Woods]] near [[Gorko]]; then collecting the [[Goddess Chest]] at [[Pumpkin Landing]] that results.
 
The other three can be bought from [[Beedle's Air Shop]] for 300, 500 and 1200 rupees respectively.
 
===Dowsing===
{{Main|Dowsing}}
After defeating [[Tentalus]], Link's Dowsing ability improves to let him have up to seven Dowsing Targets. After getting the upgrade, Link can get the following targets:
 
*[[Goddess Cube]]s: walk up to a dormant [[Goddess Chest]].
*[[Recovery Heart]]s: run low on hearts, then respond to Fi's alert.
*[[Treasure]]: talk to Gondo.
*[[Gratitude Crystal]]s: talk to [[Batreaux]].
*[[Rupee]]s: talk to a shopkeeper.
 
Link will still encounter quest dowsing targets, making it still entirely possible to run out of targets.
 
==A Link Between Worlds==
{{Main|Mother Maiamai}}
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]'', upgrades are done by visiting [[Mother Maiamai]] and rescuing her missing children by groups of ten. Whenever [[Link]] finds a group of ten [[Maiamai]], he is prompted with the option of upgrading an item he purchased, not rented, through [[Ravio's Shop]]. Each item purchased from [[Ravio]] can be upgraded only once, and when all nine items have been enhanced, Link's [[Spin Attack]] can be upgraded to the [[Great Spin Attack]].
A list of all Maiamai locations can be found [[A Link Between Worlds Maiamai Locations|here.]]
 
===Item Upgrades===
{{main|A Link Between Worlds Item Upgrades}}
Each item listed below requires ten missing Maiamais to be found before any upgrades can be performed.
