You can upgrade some inventory items and Adventure Pouch items at the Scrap Shop in the Skyloft Bazaar. Bring Treasures and Rupees to Gondo to permanently add new features to applicable items.

This week, we have launched the first major update to Zelda Maps in a while, and it introduces a major feature that we wanted when we began development of the project: more Zelda games! We launched Zelda Maps in 2017 to help everyone find everything in Breath of the Wild, but from the very beginning…

You cannot enter Kanalet Castle without the Bananas, and you cannot learn the correct path through the Wind Fish’s Egg without the Magnifying Lens. Yoshi Doll:…

View Map Meet the Mad Batter Mad Batter is an odd bat-like demon who naps underground. If you awaken him from his nap, he thanks you and then “curses” you by forcing you to carry more stuff. He’s quite the evil fellow. Mad Batter has three altars across Koholint Island. When you find his altar,…

Make a deal with the Item Trader Magnifying Lens Required After you have completed the Trading Sequence, travel to Toronbo Shores. There is a cracked wall concealing a cave just west of the place where Link meets Marin at the beach (and south of the monkey that attacks you). Use a bomb to open the…

Find Tail Cave to the south of Mabe Village Once you have the Tail Key, travel south to return to Mabe Village. Your next destination is Tail Cave, which is located south of Mabe Village. When you reach the village, travel south of the library and follow the path that leads to the shore. However,…

We’ve been working hard to update our Link’s Awakening guides and walkthrough for the last week. We’re still working on updating the walkthrough itself, but one of the largest sidequest guides is now complete.

Mabe Village Bottom of the well Sword Required There is a Piece of Heart hidden inside the Mabe Village well at the northwest corner of the village. Use your Sword to cut the grass at the top of the cliff near the well. Then, jump off the cliff to fall into the well. The Piece…

Return to Mabe Village When you leave Tail Cave, the Owl will greet you and suggest that you head to Goponga Swamp. The swamp is north of Mabe Village, so the village is your next destination. Now that you have Roc’s Feather, you can jump over the holes in the path to make the return…

Retrieve your Shield and Sword You wake up in an unfamiliar house and immediately see a young woman. Is it Princess Zelda? Unfortunately, no, but she looks just like her. She introduces herself as Marin and explains that you are on Koholint Island. Jump out of bed and speak to the man nearby, Tarin, to…
