Vines are used in many Zelda games, and help Link climb to places previously unreachable.
Oracle of Seasons
One feature from the Rod of Seasons is that by changing the season to Summer; Link can gain access to steep cliffs via vines growing along the wall. The vines will not be present during any other season.
Oracle of Ages
Several areas contain a sprouting beanstalk seed in the Past. If these are planted next to a rock wall, a vine will be grown in the Present time period. When left in an open area the seeds wither and die. Few areas require Link to push the same seed around to access more places in the Present.
Minish Cap
Whenever Link finds a beanstalk seed sprouting, but not fully grown, he can grow these in a desired location. Typically against an inaccessible wall, with a hole in the ground before it. These beanstalks only grow after being watered. The Blue variety grows with regular water from any deep source in Hyrule. The Green variety will only grow with Mineral Water from Mount Crenel.
Some Kinstone fusions cause a Picori's planted Beanstalk to grow sky high. This usually leads to the cloudtops, and has a path with a treasure at the end.
Ocarina of Time
- In Ocarina of Time, vines are used excessively inside of the many dungeons, temples, and overworld. They appear as organic, twisting growths on walls, and are climbed by simply running into them. Not only can you climb upwards, but also side to side.
- A lot of the time you will find Skulltulas part way up a wall. They are usually camouflaged, leading to let unsuspecting adventurers being pounced upon. The best tactic for taking them out, is by using either a Slingshot as young Link, or a Fairy Bow as adult Link.
- Often in Hyrule, climbing vines is masked with different textures to give variety. This could be anything from the climbable wall outside of Hyrule Castle, to the rocky cliff face of Death Mountain.
- Ladders work similarly to vines in Ocarina of Time, although you can only climb vertically on these.
- You can use Link's Hookshot/Longshot on vines, to pull yourself to the wall and automatically hold on.
Majora's Mask
- Vines in Majora's Mask are used primarily in the same way and context as in Ocarina of Time. For the most part they look the same, although there are a few textural tweaks. Again, you can move in all four directions.
- In the early stages of the game, you are required to save the Deku Princess. You must cut through vines to free her from imprisonment.
- It's notable that vines are generally used a lot less frequently in Majora's Mask than in it's Nintendo 64 counterpart Ocarina of Time.
