Features a total of 12 dungeons throughout both [[Hyrule]] and [[Lorule]]. ''A Link Between Worlds'' also has a brand new mechanic to the Zelda series, it allows the player to tackle the Lorule dungeons in nearly any order they chose. However, the [[Thieves' Hideout]] must be completed before the [[Desert Palace (A Link Between Worlds)|Desert Palace]], as the [[Sand Rod]] is required to gain entrance to the Desert Palace.

Line 76: Line 76:


''A Link Between Worlds'' introduced a new mechanic where instead of earning each item by going through dungeons, [[Link]] has to either rent or buy each item from a "wandering merchant" named [[Ravio]]. Nearly every item is available to Link from almost the beginning of the game, with the exclusion of the [[Sand Rod]], which is earned by rescuing [[Osfala]] from the [[Thieves' Hideout]].
