Item Card

Non-Canon Information

Template:Item Item Cards are items that appear in Adventure Mode in Hyrule Warriors. They are used to unlock a mission's secret reward, reveal its enemies, remove its restrictions, or remove locks to adjacent squares. Each Item Card represents an item from the series, with most from The Legend of Zelda or Twilight Princess.

Item Cards are obtained by completing specific missions at any rank, as shown on the Battle Rewards view of the Adventure Map. Once a mission's Item Card is obtained, it will not be possible to obtain more from the same mission until three^{[verification needed]} additional missions have been completed; these missions do not have to be different. Unlike Warriors, Weapons, or Costumes, a square's available Item Card is only visible once its region has been unlocked, by opening a path into its squares and clearing the relevant Legend Mode mission.

Most Item Card puzzles match the usage of the same items in the original The Legend of Zelda; for example, if a bush was burnt down by the Candle in the original game in order to reveal a secret cave, using the Candle card on that same bush in Adventure Mode will reveal a new reward for the associated mission. However, new obstacles have also been added to the maps in order to incorporate the Item Cards based on later games. Missions with hidden rewards can be completed without using the appropriate Item Card to unlock their secret, although they will not relinquish their reward even if the appropriate Warrior completes the mission with the appropriate rank. Meanwhile, missions with hidden enemies cannot even be played until their enemies are revealed, and missions with locked entrances, signified by a lock icon on the arrows directed at it from its adjacent square, cannot even be unlocked from the adjacent square until the lock has been removed. On the Twilight Map, missions for squares covered in twilight can be completed, and even have all rewards acquired, but will retain a difficult restriction on the mission and have all enemy locations hidden until the Twilight is dispelled.

Each Item Card is generally used on a certain type of obstacle, so it is usually possible to simply recognize the obstacle and apply the correct Item Card. However, if the player cannot determine where an Item Card should be applied, they can use the Compass card to reveal one of the squares on which an Item Card should be used.

Item Cards are consumed when used, even when used on an incorrect tile, and must be replenished by once again completing the missions that award them. In addition, multiple copies of each Item Card can be carried simultaneously, but the Item Cards do not transfer between Adventure Mode maps. However, since the game only auto-saves once a mission is completed, it is also possible to mulligan by turning the WiiU system off and on again when an Item Card is consumed, allowing the player to apply the Item Card to a different square, instead.
