Vines are used in many Zelda games, and help Link climb to places previously unreachable.

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.

  • 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.
