Inventory Items
Bomb: Used to blast open cracked walls, hit enemies with a strong attack, etc. Can be picked up and thrown to trigger distant switches due to the delay before detonating. When ugpraded, the blast is a more powerful attack.
Boomerang: This Zelda mainstay can be thrown straight ahead and it will return to you. It can stun enemies, cut down bushes, and grab small collectible items like rupees and hearts. The upgraded version allows the Boomerang to go farther and move faster.
Bottle: These are used to store objects you catch with the Net, or potions from the Witch's House. There are a total of five Bottles in this game:
- In Kakariko Village, buy a Bottle from the Street Merchant for 100 Rupees.
- After you get Zora's Flippers, go to Lake Hylia and swim up the stream leading northward from the lake. Swim under the bridge and talk to the man sitting under there to get this Bottle.
- After you get Zora's Flippers, swim along the river leading east from Lake Hylia. You will find a Letter in a Bottle. Bring it to the Milk Bar in Kakariko Village to get Premium Milk, which you bring to the man stranded on Death Mountain (go through the cave leading to Rosso's Ore Mine, heading south at the first split and west at the three-way of moving platforms). You get to keep the Bottle after the man drinks the milk.
- In Lorule, go to the Vacant House and bomb the back of the house. Go inside the back entrance and open the chest inside to get a Bottle.
- In Thieves' Town, use the Big Bomb Flower to access the cave northwest of the Big Bomb Flower shop. Throw a total of 3000 Rupees into the Great Rupee Fairy's fountain to receive this Bottle.
Bow: Used to shoot arrows straight ahead to attack enemies, hit distant switches, and so on. When upgraded, it will shoot three arrows: one straight and two in the two diagonal directions in front of you.
Bow of Light: Only available in the final battle, this allows you to shoot special light arrows. It can only be used when you are merged onto the wall as a painting though!
Fire Rod: Shoots a fiery blast straight ahead which rises upward, used to melt ice and burn enemies. The upgraded version yields a stronger and taller fiery blast.
Hammer: Can pound stakes and flatten certain enemies with this. When upgraded, the Hammer will also emit a slight shockwave to damage nearby enemies as well.
Hint Glasses: Wear these and you will be able to see Hint Ghosts throughout the game. Give the ghost a 3DS Play Coin and they may offer you some advice about the area. You get them from the Fortune Teller north of Kakariko Village.
Hookshot: This grapple on a chain is used to pull yourself to distant ledges via special posts and wall panels, and pull some items closer to you. The upgraded version increases the length of the Hookshot's chain.
Ice Rod: Drops an icy cube straight ahead to freeze some enemies and damage others. Can be dropped into lava to form platforms you can walk upon. The upgraded version drops four cubes in a square formation, covering a wider area in front of you.
Lamp: This is used primarily to light lanterns in darkened rooms. If you have the Lamp equipped, you will be able to see a short distance on all sides. It can be used as a weak attack against enemies at close range, but is not recommended. You can win the 8x more powerful Super Lamp by completing the Advanced difficulty in the Treacherous Tower for the first time.
Net: Given to you by Bee Guy in Kakariko Village, swing this net all the way around to capture small faeries, bees, and other objects to store in your empty Bottles. You can win the larger Super Net by completing the Advanced difficulty in the Treacherous Tower twice.
Sand Rod: This special rod allows you to whip up sandy patches to form solid pillars that you can walk across or merge onto. It also stuns any enemies in its path. Pillars can only be conjured up on sandy ground, but it can stun enemies with its shock wave anywhere. The pillars remain until you use the Sand Rod a second time. The upgraded version increases the length of the pillars you can conjure up.
Tornado Rod: This new rod conjures up a wind gust that can stun enemies and lift you straight up in the air for a short distance. It is helpful in situations involving moving platforms where you need to get onto one moving directly overhead. The upgraded version summons a larger tornado with greater power.
