|
Arrow |
2 |
Blue Candle Shop (Before Collecting 2 Triforce Pieces) and Blue Ring Shop (80 Rupees) |
When used in conjunction with the Bow, you can shoot Arrows. Arrows quickly travel across the screen, and are quite effective in defeating enemies (and are required to defeat Gohmas). Each Arrow you fire costs you 1 Rupee. |
|
Arrow (Silver) |
4 |
Dungeon 8 |
Silver Arrows act just like regular Arrows, but are twice as powerful. You'll need them to defeat Ganon. |
|
Bombs |
4 |
Dropped By Monsters and Bought in Blue Candle Shop (Before collecting 2 Triforce Pieces) (20 Rupees) |
Set a Bomb, wait a second and watch it explode. Not only is the Bomb a powerful weapon, but it can also blast holes in certain walls, and it doesn't even damage Link like it did in the original Legend of Zelda. Every Bomb you pick up adds 4 to your inventory. You begin by having a bomb-carrying capacity of 8, but you can increase that by 4 by paying 50 Rupees to an old man in Dungeon 4, and by 4 more by paying 50 more Rupees to an old man in Dungeon 5. |
|
Book |
1 |
Dungeon 8 |
The Book only has one effect: it makes a flame appear at the end of every Wand blast. Not really useful unless you like to use the Wand a lot and don't like to whip out your Candle often to light up dark rooms. |
|
Boomerang (Wooden) |
N/A |
Dungeon 2 |
When the Boomerang is thrown, it travels about halfway across the screen, then returns. Most enemies are stunned by the Boomerang, but a couple are killed by it (Keese and Gel). The Boomerang can also be used to collect distant items. |
|
Boomerang (Magic) |
N/A |
Dungeon 3 |
The Magic Boomerang is basically the same thing as the Wooden Boomerang, but it's faster and travels all the way across the screen. |
|
Boomerang (Super) |
2 |
At Certain Times On The Game Clock |
Sometimes your Boomerang will temporarily turn into the Super Boomerang. In addition to a speed increase, the Super Boomerang can damage any enemy. |
|
Bow |
N/A |
Dungeon 1 |
You can't shoot Arrows without a Bow. You'll collect the Bow early in the game, but you won't be able to use it until you buy some Arrows. |
|
Candle (Blue) |
1 |
Blue Candle Shop (After getting 2 Triforce Pieces) (60 Rupees) |
The Blue Candle casts a flame that slowly creeps in front of you a bit before disappearing. It can be used as a weapon, but it's more valuable for burning down certain bushes and lighting up dark rooms. You can also damage yourself by touching the flame, but it's so weak, that's not a big deal. You can only use the Blue Candle once per screen. |
|
Candle (Red) |
1 |
Dungeon 7 |
The Red Candle is identical to the Blue Candle, except it can be used infinite times per screen. |
|
Clock |

Sword (Wooden) |

|
Sword (White) |
2 |
Graveyard |
In the graveyard, push aside a tombstone to unveil a cave housing the White Sword, which you can pick up if you have 5 Heart Containers. It's basically the same as your old Wooden Sword, but it's twice as powerful. |
|

Waterfall Cave |
Between :25 and :35 on the clock after collecting 6 Triforce Pieces, go atop the Waterfall and into the cave you find to pick up the Magic Sword. It is twice as powerful as the White Sword, dealing 4 HP of damage per hit. |

Ganon holds the Triforce of Power. Slay him to get it back. |
|
Wand |
3 (2 for Wand itself) |

|

Medicine Shop (40 Rupees) |
You can purchase this from the Medicine Shop after you get the Letter. Drinking this causes your Heart Containers to all be refilled. After drinking it, it turns back into the Letter.
