Upgrading is a recurring element in The Legend of Zelda series.[1] Most commonly, items such as the Master Sword or the Arrows can be upgraded into stronger versions, such as the Golden Sword and Silver Arrows, respectively.

Overview[]

While the ability to replace weaker items with stronger variants is prevalent in nearly every Zelda game, some games such as Skyward Sword feature more in-depth systems of upgrading, and it is often necessary to provide Treasures or Materials as the basic ingredients for the relevant upgrade.

Common upgrades throughout the series include: the Magical Boomerang, Magic Hammer, the White Sword, the Mirror Shield, Blue Mail and Red Mail, Light Arrows and Roc's Cape. Several equipment upgrades, such as the Quiver and Bomb Bag are prevalent in games that require ammunition. Wallet upgrades are commonplace, as well.

List of Upgrades[]

Skyward Sword[]

In Skyward Sword, items and Potions can be upgraded in the Skyloft Bazaar to give them added advantages, like extra strength or durability.[2] Gondo will enhance Link's equipment in the Scrap Shop,[3] while Bertie improves Potions at the Infusion Shop. All upgrades are permanent and take a few seconds to complete.[4] As Link progresses, he is able to upgrade more of his items.[5]

In order to fully upgrade all of Link's items, the following quantity of each treasure is required:
