Four Swords Adventures: A shielding charm.

 Four Swords Adventures:  A shielding charm.

Blue Bracelet: This bracelet offers brief magical protection to any Link that can find it. Having the bracelet halves the damage that Link takes in the stage the bracelet was found in. Like all power-up items in Four Swords Adventures, the protection offered by the bracelet only lasts for a single stage. 

This shielding charm’s enchantment is entirely contained in its polished piece of fossilized shell. While the nature of the fossil resonates with the abjuration magic of the spell, there is a limit to what the spell can intercept. If the blue glow dims, the protective shield has been spent, leaving the wearer vulnerable to attack.

Welcome to the items from The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures. There aren’t many items, but I did end up drawing quite a few cards as the theme for the set was dual/duel which meant most cards had a second version or at least a partial color swap.

Check back in every Sunday for more item cards to tickle your imagination and spice up your inventory.

Amphora: Five items from my home game.

Five items from my home game.

Rod of Bouncing: Channeling your spell through this focus allows a spell that would otherwise strike a single target to ricochet between multiple targets.

Helm of Telepathy: This strange metal helmet amplifies its wearer's mental abilities and allows them to communicate psychically with nearby intelligent life. It also protects the wearer from unwelcome psychic intrusions.

Mighty Amulet of Icy Fists: This stone amulet is far heavier than it looks and is always cold. Communing with the amulet allows the wearer to wreath their hands and feet in bitter cold and strike with the strength of an ice giant.

Arctic Bow: This bow belonged to a ranger of the Ice Wastes. The supernatural cold of that wasteland permeated the bow, imparting arrows it fires with the draining chill of its frigid homeland.

Vambraces of the Effreti: These metal bracers were once used to bind an efreet in service. They were given as a gift to the person who freed the proud genie and were imbued with a mote of the efreet’s supernatural command of flame.

Here are five items I drew specifically for my home game. Since they weren’t drawn with a large audience in mind, they could be a bit silly or a bit obvious in their reference to other universes.

Cards: The collected set of Wind Waker items.

 Cards: The collected set of Wind Waker items.

I present the complete set of item cards from the Wind Waker set. There are 168 unique cards, but not all received the full-color treatment. The links below will take you to PDF’s containing all the item cards in order for printing or perusing.

Wind Waker: An emergency life preserver.

 Wind Waker: An emergency life preserver.

Heart Container: One of these heart containers increases Link’s life total by one complete heart. Link can only earn complete heart containers by defeating the bosses at the end of each of Wind Waker’s dungeons. 

You know in they are a terrible person and the world would be a safer place without them in it. You also know that everyone has the capability of change and maybe this experience could change them. You are the only one who saw them fall in, do you throw them a lifesaver or do you just walk away?

----------

Can you imagine only getting the heart containers from bosses? I’d never play that way, but I guess you could just skip all the exploring and looking for pieces of hearts and other loot, relying only on dungeon items, main quest upgrades, and boss heart containers. I guess that’s speed running, but that is not the way I play Zelda games.

That is the final item card from the Wind Waker set. Next week we will come back with the collected card set. After that, we will be exploring the items from Four Swords Adventures. That is a relatively short list, at least compared to Wind Waker.
