Collecting Items

Learn how to collect items in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Discover how to find health, rupees, and other essential gear by smashing pots, defeating enemies, and opening chests.

Hey there! So you're diving into The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and wondering about all the stuff you can pick up? It's pretty straightforward, thankfully. As you explore Hyrule and Lorule, you'll find all sorts of useful things just lying around or dropped by enemies. Just touching them is usually all it takes to add them to your inventory!

You'll find common items like small hearts, which are super important for keeping your health up – they restore one heart instantly, so don't underestimate them! Then there are rupees, the game's currency. You'll use these to buy all sorts of things from shops, especially from Ravio. Keep an eye out for them everywhere!

Most items you'll find just by exploring. Smashing bushes, breaking pots, and defeating monsters are your go-to methods for finding hearts and rupees. Sometimes, you'll find rarer items or upgrades hidden away in treasure chests or in spots that are a little tricky to reach. It's always a good idea to grab anything you see and stash it in your adventuring pouch or wallet – you never know when it might come in handy.

To keep track of everything you've collected, just tap the “Gear” or “Item” tab on your bottom screen. The Gear menu shows your important equipment, like Link's clothes, up top, and your collectables, like rupees, down below. The Item menu is where you'll find your adventuring tools – the ones you can assign to the X or Y buttons for quick use. If you're ever unsure about an item, just tap on it in the menu to see a brief description. Happy collecting!
