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.

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.

The Upgrade System is a feature that appears in Skyward Sword and A Link Between Worlds.

Skyward Sword

This system allows Link to take items that he already has and enhance them using the Treasures 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 shields, 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.

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 here.
