==Overview==
While the ability to replace weaker items with stronger variants is prevalent in nearly every ''Zelda'' game, some games such as {{SS}} feature more in-depth systems of upgrading, and it is often necessary to provide [[Treasure]]s or [[Material]]s as the basic ingredients for the relevant upgrade.


{{#vardefine:SS|
Common upgrades throughout the series include: the [[Magical Boomerang]], [[Magic Hammer]], the [[White Sword]], the [[Mirror Shield]], [[Blue Mail]] and [[Red Mail]], [[Light Arrow]]s 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.

Upgrading,(SS)[1][name references needed] also known as Enhancing,(BotW)[2] is a recurring mechanic in The Legend of Zelda series. 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.

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.[3] Gondo will enhance Link's equipment in the Scrap Shop,[4] while Bertie improves Potions at the Infusion Shop. All upgrades are permanent and take a few seconds to complete.[5] As Link progresses, he is able to upgrade more of his items.[6]

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

Quantities Required
Treasures: Materials
Hornet Larvae 4 Hornet Larvaes Bird Feather 5 Bird Feathers Tumbleweed 16 Tumbleweeds Lizard Tail 7 Lizard Tails
Eldin Ore 7 Eldin Ores Ancient Flower 7 Ancient Flowers Amber Relic 25 Amber Relics Dusk Relic 13 Dusk Relics
Jelly Blob 8 Jelly Blobs Monster Claw 17 Monster Claws Monster Horn 8 Monster Horns Ornamental Skull 12 Ornamental Skulls
Evil Crystal 4 Evil Crystals Blue Bird Feather 5 Blue Bird Feathers Golden Skull 4 Golden Skulls Goddess Plume 3 Goddess Plumes
