The Four Elements are recurring Items in The Legend of Zelda series.[1]

Overview

The Four Elements are the crystalline forms of energy that the world depends on.[2] They were first shown in Four Swords, but their significance was not revealed until The Minish Cap. They are based on the classical elements: Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind.

Appearances

Four Swords

The Four Sword Sanctuary in Four Swords

The Four Elements can be briefly seen in the introduction sequence of Four Swords, in front of the altar where Vaati is sealed. The upper parts of the Keys received from Great Fairies are also designed after them.

The Minish Cap

In The Minish Cap, the importance of the Four Elements was revealed. They are the source of power of the Four Sword, each Element granting the wielder of the sword another "clone". In order to save Princess Zelda and stop Vaati, Link had to find each Element, scattered in four Dungeons throughout Hyrule. Each time he finds a new Element, Link brings it to the Elemental Sanctuary to infuse into his sword.

The Fire Element is the second of the Four Elements gathered in The Minish Cap, obtained in the Cave of Flames on Mount Crenel. This, along with the Earth Element, is needed for Link to create the White Sword from the reforged Picori Blade.
