Twilight Princess Upgrades
In Twilight Princess there are three pieces of equipment that can be upgraded: the Bomb Bag, the Quiver, and the Wallet. Link can also obtain an upgrade of sorts to his armor in the form of the Magic Armor. Each piece of equipment, along with its additional upgrades, are listed below.
Wallet
Original Wallet
Location: Ordon Village
The first Wallet will be available to Link immediately upon beginning the game at Ordon Village. In the Gamecube and Wii versions it holds 300 rupees. This was changed to a max of 500 rupees in Twilight Princess HD.
Big Wallet
- Main article: Big Wallet#Twilight Princess
Location: Agitha's Castle
After clearing the Twilight from Lanayru Province, head over to Castle Town, and into Agitha's Castle. Speak with her, and she'll ask you to collect Golden Bugs for her. Find one Golden Bug across Hyrule and give it to her. She will give Link the first wallet upgrade, the Big Wallet, which will hold up to 600 rupees (1000 in Twilight Princess HD).
Giant Wallet
- Main article: Giant Wallet#Twilight Princess
Location: Agitha's Castle
After collecting all 24 Golden Bugs, head over to Agitha's Castle. Give her all 24, and she will give you the second wallet upgrade, the Giant Wallet, which will hold up to 1,000 rupees (2000 in Twilight Princess HD).
Colossal Wallet (HD only, amiibo-exclusive)
- Main article: Colossal Wallet
Location: Cave of Shadows
- Note: This only exists in Twilight Princess HD and requires the Wolf Link amiibo. Note that it is a progressive upgrade - while it is listed as the Colossal Wallet, the Cave of Shadows can be done before collecting the Golden Bug rewards from Agitha. If so, it will be the Big or Giant Wallets; and the Agitha reward(s) will be upgraded so the final wallet from her is the Colossal Wallet.
Scanning the Wolf Link amiibo sends Link to the Cave of Shadows, a version of the Cave of Ordeals he must complete in wolf form. Successfully overcoming all forty floors will earn him the Colossal Wallet, which holds up to 9999 rupees.
This can only be done on the third attempt - the first time, Wolf Link cannot go beyond the sixth floor, and the second time he is forced to stop at floor twenty.
Bomb Bag
First Bomb Bag
Location: Kakariko Village
After clearing the Goron Mines, head over to Barnes Bomb Shop in Kakariko Village. For 120 rupees you can purchase the first Bomb Bag, already filled with regular Bombs.
Second Bomb Bag
Location: Iza's Rapid Ride
After clearing the Twilight from Lanayru Province, head over to Upper Zora's River. Speak with Iza, who is next to the house above the river, and she'll invite you in to help her with a problem. Bomb the boulders inside with a bomb arrow, and she'll have you hop in the boat to help clear some more down the river. Before you begin she'll give you the second Bomb Bag, which Link can keep after successfully unblocking the river; allowing him to carry either a second type of bomb, or double the number of standard bombs.
Third Bomb Bag
Location: Zora's Domain
After clearing the Twilight from Lanayru Province, head over to Zora's Domain. If you can't change to wolf form, go to the northernmost point of Hyrule Field, and through a cave that leads to Zora's Domain. Bomb the boulders on the way up to get to the top. Once inside the throne room, equip the Zora Armor and Iron Boots, and sink to the bottom. Here you'll find a large boulder; blow it up with a Water Bomb. Inside is a Goron who will give you the third Bomb Bag, allowing you to carry up to three different bomb types.
Giant Bomb Bag
Location: Iza's Rapid Ride
After clearing the Twilight from Lanayru Province, head over to Upper Zora's River. Speak with Iza, who is next to the house above the river. She will invite you in to play her game, Iza's Rapid Ride. The goal is shoot down 25 pots that are strewn across the river, with yellow pots being worth 1, red being worth 2, and hitting a wall resulting in -1. You need to get at least 25 out of 30 points to win the game. At the bottom of the river Link will receive the final upgrade, the Giant Bomb Bag, which doubles the capacity of all his existing bomb bags.
Quiver
