Upgrades
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.[1] Gondo will enhance Link's equipment in the Scrap Shop,[2] while Bertie improves potions at his shop. All upgrades are permanent and take a few seconds to complete.[3] As Link progresses, he is able to upgrade more of his items.[4]
In order to fully upgrade all of Link's items, the following quantity of each treasure is required:
