The Compass can be found inside [[Dungeon]]s. In {{TLoZ}}, once obtained, it indicates the room in which the dungeon's [[Triforce Shard]] is located, or, in the case of the final dungeon, the room where [[Princess Zelda]] is detained. Starting with {{ALttP}}, the Compass instead shows on which floor and in which room the [[boss]] of the dungeon is located. In games following and including {{LA}}, it also lets [[Link]] see the hidden [[Treasure Chest]]s on the [[Dungeon Map]].

The Compass and Dungeon Map are both absent from {{TAoL}}, {{FS}} and {{FSA}} due to differences in their game mechanics. They are also absent from {{PH}} and {{ST}}, as Link can pay 20 [[Rupee]]s to [[Gossip Stone]]s to reveal the locations of Treasure Chests.
