The Minish Cap: Azure Transformo

 Azure Transformo

Joy Butterfly: These rare butterflies can only be discovered after Link fuses Kintstones with the three traveling oracles visiting Hyrule. Fusing Kinstones with each unlocks a unique breed of butterfly that confers a speed bonus to a specific skill when caught. Link must go out into the Castor Wilds and catch the butterflies to gain the bonus.

The only reason this butterfly is rare is because it was hunted to near extinction for its lustrous blue wings. The butterflies’ iridescent blue wings have no special properties, but were a fashion must have for a few seasons. Tastes change and fads fade, but the astronomical demand for butterfly wings was an almost permanent end for the delicate creatures.

Wind Waker: An ampule of glowing essence.

 An ampule of glowing essence.

Forest Firefly: These majestic fireflies glow in seven different colors and can only be found in the Forest Haven. This isolated forest is the last vestige of the once mighty forests that covered Hyrule before being drowned under the floods that birthed the Great Sea. In the original release, Link must capture a firefly and give it to Lenzo so that he can upgrade Link’s Pictobox into the Deluxe Pictobox capable of taking color photographs. In the HD rerelease, Link is given the Deluxe Pictobox from the start, so Lenzo doesn’t need a firefly for his research.

Such an ampule of distilled firefly essence requires the lives of millions of fireflies to create. The result of such an insecticide massacre is a fluid that makes any who drink it glow for a few hours. It is also an invaluable reagent in spells conjuring or controlling lights.

If you don’t know what an Ampule is, it is a type of container for medicines and reactive liquids. The ampule is sealed by melting the glass tip, which means the neck must be snapped off to open them.

Be excellent to everyone.

I'm not an artist:Six items from Majora’s Mask found on a camping trip.

Six items from Majora’s Mask found on a camping trip.

Moon’s Tear: These gems are apparently the brightest gem in all of Termina. They are also exclusively found falling from the eyes of the moon’s terrifying face. The gems' beauty and rarity combine to make them extremely valuable. To obtain such a rare and expensive jewel, Link must observe one fall from the moon using the telescope in the Astral Observatory. Link can trade this stone to the Business Scrub in Clock Town for the deed to the Clock Town Deku Flower. This is the first trade in the chain of real estate transactions Link engages in with various Business Scrubs. 

When I was young, my parents would take the family on a long camping trip at the height of summer. High up in an old cedar on the western slope of the Cascades, I found a dead body whose parachute had snagged in the tree’s branches. Unable to contain my curiosity, I went through the corpse’s pockets and found a lustrous jewel wrapped in a hand-drawn map and a revolver with six spent shots.

Six items from Majora’s Mask you might find at a picnic.

 

Bombchu: These autonomous mobile bomb constructs move straight forward away from Link when placed. They can climb up walls and ceilings which allows for Link to get bombs to locations that would be otherwise inaccessible.

Nothing ruins a picnic faster than ants, except that is for flamesting ants. The bite of just one of these small insects is painful enough to leave the recipient doubled over in pain for hours. The few individuals who have survived an attack from a swarm of flamesting ants are permanently wracked with unbearable pain, forcing survivors to stupefy themselves senses with drink or smoke. 

I'm not an artist: Five items from Ocarina of Time that can be found at the Temple of the Contemplative Yak.

Five items from Ocarina of Time that can be found at the Temple of the Contemplative Yak.

Bug: These blue beetles love to burrow in the ground and particularly enjoy the patches of soft soil that Link can find in his travels. Since Gold Skultulas often make their home in these patches of soil, beetles burrowing in the soil forces the skultulas out of their burrows so Link can slay the monster and release its cursed soul. 

Bullhorn beetles get their name from their large single horn and their extremely aggressive behavior. Mostly active during dawn and dusk, Bullhorn beetles see anything that is not a mountain yak as a threat, attacking with a ferocity unfitting of their size. Even though they cause the monks of the temple great annoyance, the monks see the beetles as a boon since they guard the yak herds against threats natural and supernatural and regularly turn over the soil with their daily burrowing. 

I'm not an artist: Finishing A Link to the Past with six jars from the Fairy Market

Six items from A Link to the Past you can find in the fairy market.

Medicine of Life: A blood red potion that restores Links hearts completely. This is a great placeholder for any potion you would need. You could also add various colors to make it more specific. 

The fairy market opens its doors for nine days every nine years. People and creatures from every corner of this world and many others come to the massive market to trade in all sorts of food from the mundane to the truly unique. They say one can find anything they desire in the fairy market if they know where to look. That includes more time. A seemingly ageless alchemist offers an elixir of life that adds ten years to a person’s life with one sip and fifty years to their life if they drink the entire potion. The potions are sold in a silent auction on the last day of the market and never to anyone who purchased a potion at the last market. 

I’m not an artist: Five summer camp items from A Link to the Past.

Five items from A Link to the Past with some summer camp themed adventure seeds.

Bombos Medallion: The bombos medallion is a weapon of massive destruction. Activating the medallion engulfs the entire screen in a torrent flames and explosions. The medallion is locked in an ancient glyph-etched tablet that sits atop a cliff that is unreachable by normal means. As the only optional medallion in the game, it is a reward for players who thoroughly explore the world. 

Not all summer camps are held in log cabins along the banks of placid lakes. A camp for gifted students is held at Babylon University in Arizona. The camp offers gifted students the chance to study subjects like dead languages, ancient mythology, and lucid dreaming. One thing that makes Babylon Camp for the Gifted stand out is the extensive on campus arcade. Campers are able to enjoy the arcade during their open evenings after a long day of educational activities. Pazu's Arcade and Games has been a staple of Babylon University campus life as long as anyone can remember. Rumors persist of a private invitation only room full of banned and custom games. Campers learn they have been invited when they receive a black tempest token from any of the arcade's machines. 

On the far edge of the unforgiving desert is a village of sun worshipping folk. They have learned to live in harmony with the scorching desert sun. They channel the sun's heat to boil water, forge metals, and even burn their enemies. The greatest master of the channeling arts was exiled from the village from a fear that they would inadvertently destroy the village or harm the villagers. The sundancer has made their home atop a cliff face that they have blasted into smooth glass. Content in their isolation, the sundancer has made no conventional means to climb the unassailable cliffs. Any who seek to study with the sundancer must first find a way to the top of the cliffs. Then they must find a way to endure the sundancer's fiery techniques. Those that have studied under the sundancer's tutelage and survived are gifted a small copper chime from the sundancer's body wrap.
