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]]. 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.

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.
