ZELDA Buy now Items and weapons
Use this item reference to find weapons, equipment and their uses. The table groups the available acquisition notes in one place, with dungeon and song guides linked below.
The list
The Kokiri Sword and Deku Shield are still the pair that gets you past Mido and into the first dungeon. Later weapons come from the temples in the dungeon table. Bottles, masks, and songs are related systems. Masks sit with the Happy Mask Salesman. Songs have their own page because the button or the teacher is the point, not the damage number.
If a location cell is empty, the record did not name a chest. I am not filling it from a 1998 memory when the field is blank.
