The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Guide › Gear and Items

Consumable Items

Some of these items can be found anywhere from fallen enemies to smashed skulls and pots, as well as from cutting tall grass and bushes. Others can be bought from merchants, made by a Witch, and collected in hidden dungeons. Some are common, some are rare, while others are random, but they all serve a purpose and are equally important.

Heart

Description: Hearts will refill one of Link’s heart containers in his life gauge. They have no effect if his life gauge is full.

Location: This common item can be claimed from cutting grass or bushes, breaking rocks, or slaying enemies. Sometimes you can find them painted on dungeon walls, and collect them with Link’s wall merging ability.

Rupee

  1. Green (1 Rupee)
  2. Blue (5 Rupees)
  3. Red (20 Rupees)
  4. Purple (50 Rupees)
  5. Silver (100 Rupees)
  6. Gold (300 Rupees)

Description: Rupees are the currency in all of Hyrule and Lorule. Their different colors indicate their numerical value. You can never have too many!

Location: Collect Rupees by defeating enemies, cutting tall grass and bushes, or breaking rocks, skulls, and pots. Sometimes Rupees fall from trees that Link rams using the Pegasus Boots. Boulders on the Death Mountain Trail can also contain Rupees. And like hearts, you can find them painted on dungeon walls.

Energy Potion

Description: Energy potions replenish Link’s energy gauge for extended wall merging and quest item use.

Location: These are an uncommon drop in the overworld, but they can be collected in specific dungeon locations by breaking pots or skulls.

Bees

Description: This small bee can be caught with the net and sold to the Bee Man. Just be sure you have an empty bottle to store it in!

Location: Cutting tall grass in Hyrule may spawn bees that become aggressive and will cause damage unless you catch or destroy them.

Golden Bee

Description: The golden bee looks like a regular bee, but gold in color. Catch this rare specimen with a net, and trade it to the Bee Man for the Bee Badge, which makes bees never sting Link. Instead, the bees fight enemies fearlessly alongside him. Golden bees are also worth 300 Rupees when sold.

Location: While rarely seen, golden bees spawn from tall grass roughly 1/50th of the time that regular bees do.

Red Apple

Description: A red apple restores one heart. It can also be caught with a net and stored in a bottle for later consumption.

Location: Ram head first into a tree with the Pegasus Boots to occasionally drop a red apple.

Green Apple

Description: A green apple restores three hearts. It’s less sweet than a red apple.

Location: Green apples rarely drop from trees after being rammed with the Pegasus Boots. Your chances are better at the apple tree planted by Gramps.

Foul Fruit

Description: These fruits are so foul that they will knock out all nearby enemies. Not advised for consumption!

Location: Purchase Foul Fruits in shops in Kakariko Village for only 30 Rupees.

Scoot Fruit

Description: If you bit off more than you can chew, this fruit allows Link to escape from almost any dungeon in a flash!

Location: Purchase Scoot Fruits in shops in Kakariko Village and Lake Hylia for 50 Rupees.

Caution

Scoot Fruit won’t work while you’re visiting the Eastern Palace or Lorule Castle for the first time, in the Treacherous Tower, or during the final battle.

Red Potion

Description: This red liquid needs to be stored in a bottle, then equipped to either or to be used. Restores eight hearts when consumed.

Location: The old witch will sell it to you at the Witch’s House.

Blue Potion

Description: This blue liquid needs to be stored in a bottle, then equipped to either or to be used. It will restore Link’s entire life gauge.

Location: The old witch will sell it to you at the Witch’s House if you meet the requirements.

Purple Potion

Description: This purple liquid needs to be stored in a bottle and assigned to or to be used. This potion will allow Link to perform a special spin attack that damages any enemy in the area.

Location: The old witch will sell it to you at the Witch’s House if you meet the requirements.

Yellow Potion

Description: This yellow liquid needs to be stored in a bottle then equipped to either or to be used. Consume to become invincible for a short time. Save it for when the enemies are too great!

Location: The old witch will sell it to you at the Witch’s House if you meet the requirements.

Milk

Description: This is the most delicious milk in Hyrule! Store it in a bottle and assign it to either or for later consumption. It restores five hearts.

Location: Can be purchased at the Milk Bar in Kakariko Village for only 20 Rupees.

Premium Milk

Description: After finding a letter in a bottle, you can exchange the message for the premium milk and take it to a very thirsty man on the Death Mountain Trail.

Location: Trade for it at the Milk Bar in Kakariko Village.

Fairy

Description: This magical being is one of the most useful items in the land. Catch a fairy with a net and store it in a bottle. If Link falls in battle, the fairy will awaken Link with a full life gauge and a rejuvenated fighting spirit. Walk up to one and they will restore all your hearts as well.

Location: These adorable winged wonders can be uncovered in hidden dungeons throughout Hyrule and Lorule.
