Latest revision as of 00:10, 11 January 2024
Letters are recurring items and objects in The Legend of Zelda series.[1] They are the most common means of long-distance communication between characters.
Letters are most often sent via Mail Delivery and delivered by the Postman. Link is occasionally tasked with mailing Letters to a Postbox. Sometimes he personally Delivers certain Letters. Letters to be mailed or hand-delivered go in the Inventory. In many games, various characters mail Letters to Link, sometimes enclosing items for him. In some games the Letters are kept on the Collection Screen (specifically the Letters submenu) and can be read any time. In other games the Letters are discarded after being read.
Location and Uses
The Legend of Zelda
In The Legend of Zelda, Link can receive the Letter from an Old Man in a northeast cave of Hyrule. When Link shows the Letter to any Old Woman, they will sell him Blue and Red Waters of Life. The Letter reads:[2]
Link's Awakening
In Link's Awakening, Christine asks Link to deliver the Goat's Letter to Mr. Write.
Ocarina of Time
In Ocarina of Time, a Letter in a Bottle can be found in Lake Hylia. It is a Letter from Princess Ruto that must be delivered to King Zora in order to gain access to Zora's Fountain.
Zelda's Letter is given by Zelda to verify Links work is for the Royal Family. Showing this to the the Hyrulean Soldier at the Kakariko Villages entrance to Death Mountain will open the gate. After showing the letter the Happy Mask side quest will begin.
Majora's Mask
At the beginning of the First Day, Kafei mails a letter to Anju. The Postman refuses to tell Anju which Postbox he collected it from. Later on in the Anju's Anguish Event, Link mails Anju's Letter to Kafei.
On the Night of the Second Day, the Postman mails a letter to himself.[3][clarification needed] Link can read the letter on the Night of the Final Day—he can find it on the bed in the Post Office. In the letter, the Postman asks himself to flee Clock Town.[4]
Oracle of Ages
The Wind Waker
In The Wind Waker, Link obtains four Letters for Delivery. The first is Father's Letter to Komali. Afterward, Link can mail the Note to Mom for Baito. He can do the same for Maggie with Maggie's Letter. He also delivers the reply—Moblin's Letter—back to Maggie as her father will not allow Ilari to deliver it.[5] All of these Letters are stored in the Delivery Bag in the Items Screen.
Link himself receives Letters from other characters through the wiggling Postboxes of the Island Postal Service. The Letters always enclose an item, either Rupees, Charts, or Pieces of Heart. Once read, the Letter is discarded and Link obtains the item that came with it. Tingle and Baito's Letters require that he pay postage fees of 201 Rupees and 10 Rupees, respectively.[6][7]
The Mail Center Minigame has Link sorting letters for the Island Postal Service. His pay depends on the number of letters he can sort within the time limit.

Four Swords Adventures
In Four Swords Adventures, Sweetie gives Link a Letter for her boyfriend, meant to repair their relationship.[8] If Link successfully brings the Letter to him in the Village of the Blue Maiden, he will be rewarded with Roc's Feather.[9]
The Minish Cap
In The Minish Cap, Hyrule Town has a Post Office and a Postman but Link himself neither receives nor sends letters in the mail—the Postbox on the roof of the Post Office purely decorative. He can, however, buy issues of the Swordsman Newsletter from Marcy at the Post Office.
Swiftblade occasionally receives letters from readers of the Swordsman Newsletter.[10][11][12] After Link obtains the Kinstone Bag but before he attempts to see Librari, Julietta spends her time writing a letter,[13] likely to her lover Romio.
Twilight Princess
In Twilight Princess, the Postman delivers up to 16 Letters to Link. They are stored and viewed on the Letters screen. Link himself cannot mail anything—the game lacks Postboxes.
Phantom Hourglass
In Phantom Hourglass, when Link approaches a wiggling Mailbox, the Postman flies into view. He opens Link's Letters and reads them aloud, rather than give them to Link.[14] He accidentally reads out Jolene's Letter to her sister Joanne,[15] thinking it was addressed to Link. He then asks Link to Deliver it for him.[16]
Fuzo sends a Letter after any four new Big Plays are earned in Battle Mode, informing Link of his prize.[citation needed]
Spirit Tracks
In Spirit Tracks, the Postman no longer reads Letters to Link, as there are new policies in place that prevent him from doing so.[17] They are stored and read from the Collection Screen screen.[18]
Link can receive up to 20 Letters, 3 of which are sent by the Battle Commission after achieving certain Battle Ranks. All but three Letters are delivered by the Postman. Princess Zelda secretly hand-delivers hers to Link during the Royal Engineer ceremony.[19] Linebeck III gives Link Linebeck's Letter, which was written by the original Linebeck.[20] Carben wrote Carben's Letter to himself as a reminder,[21] but gives it to Link to help him get down to the Ocean Floor.[22] These three Letters all provide information about how to progress on the game.
Some Letters enclose useful Maps to important locations or hidden Treasure Chests.[23] Ferrus always encloses a Map or Picture that serves as a clue to his location, so that Link can come pick him up in the Spirit Train.[24] Other Letters are sent along with packages containing an Item. Link receives Beedle's Club Membership Card upgrades in this way,[25] as well as Treasures from the Battle Committee.[26]

Skyward Sword
In Skyward Sword, Zelda sends a Letter to Link using her Loftwing. On the front of her Letter, "TO LINK" is written,[27] while its back features her signature, a single "Z",[28] both in Hylian.
Breath of the Wild
Other Appearances
My Nintendo Picross: Twilight Princess
The nineteenth puzzle in the Picross series and the eighteenth puzzle in the Mega Picross series depict a Letter.
Trivia
- Orca's Letter to Link is noticeably abrupt compared to the others.[29] In the original version of The Wind Waker, the body of the Letter is aggressively large and Orca's named is signed very small. In The Wind Waker HD the font size is the same as other Letters.
