The Inventory,(TLoZThe Legend of Zelda | BotWBreath of the Wild | TotKTears of the Kingdom | ZAZelda's Adventure | CoHCadence of Hyrule)[1][2][3][4][5] also known as the Items Subscreen,(OoT3DOcarina of Time 3D)[6] the Select Item Screen,(MMMajora's Mask)[7][8] the Item Screen,(OoSOracle of Seasons | OoAOracle of Ages | TPTwilight Princess)[9][10][11][12] and the Items Screen,(TWWThe Wind Waker | TMCThe Minish Cap)[13][14][15] is a recurring concept in The Legend of Zelda series. The term collectively refers to all the items in Link's possession, as well as the interfaces where these are displayed and selected from.[16]

Overview

The Inventory is viewed on the Subscreen—the two terms are synonymous in games where the Inventory comprises the entire Subscreen. It is divided into sections for the different types of items, namely items assigned to buttons, Equipment, quest items, and collectibles. These different types of items may appear in different sections of the same screen, or on different screens entirely: the Items screen (for selected items), the Quest Status Screen, the Equipment Subscreen, the Collection Screen, and/or the Gear.

The Legend of Zelda

The Inventory screen from The Legend of Zelda

In The Legend of Zelda, the Subscreen is accessed by pressing the START button. At the top of the screen are icons showing if Link has collected the Raft, the Book of Magic, the Blue or Red rings, the Ladder, the Magical Key, and the Power Bracelet. Below that is an item box containing, from left to right and top to bottom, the Boomerang or Magical Boomerang, Bombs, the Bow and Silver Arrows, the Red or Blue Candle, the Whistle, the Food, the Letter, Red Potion, or Blue Potion, and the Magical Rod. The number of collected Triforce Shards, Rupees, Keys, Bombs, and Heart Containers can also be seen, as well as the Sword and item currently equipped to the B button.

The Adventure of Link



A Link to the Past



Link's Awakening

The Subscreen from Link's Awakening DX

In Link's Awakening, the Subscreen is accessed by pressing the START button. It allows Link to browse his possessions. As such, he can see his collection of items, his current item in the Trading Quest, the number of Rupees, Heart Containers, and Secret Seashells he possesses, the Instruments of the Sirens he has so far, which of the Dungeon Keys he is holding onto and whether or not he has obtained the Flippers and Secret Medicine. Link can also re-organize the location of his items in the Subscreen. Having a maximum capacity of two items equipped at once, he can decide which items he wants to equip on this screen.[17] Upon holding the SELECT button on the Subscreen, Link can see how many Pieces of Heart he is missing until he fills another Heart Container.[18] In Link's Awakening DX, holding the Select button also lets him know which Clothes he is wearing and the number of Photographs that have been taken so far.

Ocarina of Time



Majora's Mask



Oracle of Seasons



Oracle of Ages



The Wind Waker

The Items Screen from The Wind Waker

In The Wind Waker, the Items Screen is accessed by pressing START. It features green, paper-like background textures, with 21 slots designated for the Items Link collects during his adventure, divided into several outlined segments.

On the left side are three horizontal rows of four Items each:

Moving toward the right side are three vertical columns of three Items each:

Pressing the A button on any Item brings up a brief description of it, while pressing the X, Y, or Z buttons assigns the Item to that button, except for the three Bags, where instead a mini-menu appears and lets the player select one of the Items within. In the bottom-left corner of the Items Screen is a button to Save the game. Pressing the L or R button switches the Quest Status Screen.

The Minish Cap

The Items Screen is one of the Subscreens in The Minish Cap, accessed by pressing START. There are 12 slots for Items and four slots for Empty Bottles. Each of the 12 Item slots are dedicated to a particular Item, and unlike the Empty Bottles, the spots do not fill up from left to right; rather, each Item obtained is placed in its designated slot.

Whenever an Item is exchanged for a variation or an upgrade, the previous version disappears and is replaced with the new version in the Items Screen.

The Items displayed in the Items Screen are as follows (left to right, top to bottom):

Twilight Princess

In Twilight Princess, the Item Screen appears in a large circle with all of Link's collected items on the border. The player can select the item they wish to use and then select which button they want to use it as. [note 1] To use the item, the player must press the button they assigned the item to and Link will pull out the item. The complete order of icons starting from the top going clockwise is, the Double Clawshots, the Dominion Rod, the Ball and Chain, the Spinner, the Hero's Bow, the Iron Boots, the Gale Boomerang, the Lantern, the Slingshot, the Fishing Rod, the Hawkeye, the three Bomb Bags, the four Bottles, and finally, the Horse Call.
