====== Items and Equipment ======
Every item of equipment your character owns reduces your maximum 💎 by one. A new character can begin play with up to two pieces of equipment, with basic equipment not counting against that limit.

Consumables do not reduce your maximum 💎, but instead require you to check a 💎 in order to use them. A new character begins play with three consumables, less one for every piece of equipment they have. (Do not count basic equipment.)

A character is limited to a maximum number of consumables equal to twice their total number of 💎.

===== Aspects =====

Every item is considered to have an aspect of its name, meaning you can invoke it (or have it compelled against you) whenever relevant. You can invoke weapons to aid attacks and armor to aid defense, as well as invoking the specific type for some circumstances - a sword might be invoked when cutting through heavy brush, and a bomb might be invoked when trying to make a loud noise.

In addition, some items have their own aspects that can serve as boons, drawbacks, or both.

===== Acquiring New Items =====

After character creation, characters must find new items, usually in treasure chests, but occasionally available for purchase. If a player wants to acquire a specific item, they can spend a fate point upon finding a treasure chest to declare that it has the new item they want, in addition to its original contents.

=== Specific Shields ===

  * **Mirror Shield:** A magic shield with a reflective face, it can be invoked for free once per combat, and is particularly effective at defending against magic attacks.

=== Technological Items ===

  * **Glider:** A glider allows the user to use Acrobatics to glide, and with a powerful enough updraft even do something approximating flight. Using it for too long is extremely tiring, though.
  * **Hookshot:** A hookshot allows you to move up to two zones for free on your turn, as long as the zone you’re moving to has a wooden target heavy enough to latch on to. It can also be used with Shooting to create advantages related to stunning or disarming enemies, but it cannot be used to deal damage.

=== Magic Items ===

  * **Deku Leaf:** A leaf from the Great Deku Tree can be used to fan massive gusts of wind using Might, enough to bowl even Moblins over. In a pinch, or with a small enough user, it can function as a makeshift glider.
  * **Goron Bracelet:** The Goron Bracelet enables you to lift incredible weights, if with some effort. While wearing it, you gain a +1 bonus to Might checks related to lifting and carrying objects.

  * **Lens of Truth:** The Lens of Truth is a powerful tool that can see through illusions of all sorts. You can check a 🔷 to gain a +4 bonus to a Perception check made to see through illusions, but because using the lens limits your focus, you take a -2 penalty to defense rolls when you do.
  * **Magic Rod:** Each magic rod is associated with one element - usually fire, ice, or lightning. As long as you have at least one 🔷 clear, you can make Shooting attacks of that element.
  * **Pegasus Boots:** Pegasus Boots enable you to run and charge incredibly fast. While wearing them, you can move an additional zone for free each turn, and you can invoke them when charging an enemy.

  * **Zora Flippers:** Zora flippers enable you to swim almost as well as a Zora. They grant a +2 bonus to Athletics checks made to swim.

=== Other ===

  * **Trained Animal:** A trained and loyal animal companion with a single aspect. Cannot take actions on its own, but allows you to roll Husbandry in certain situations that would otherwise require a more specific skill. For example, you could roll Husbandry instead of Athletics to sprint while riding a horse.

==== Consumables ====

=== Throwables ===

  * **Bombs:** Bombs are explosive tools, as useful for clearing terrain as they are for clearing rooms of enemies. When thrown, they attack a single zone with a +3 bonus and Weapon:2.
  * **Bombchus:** A unique tool that is essentially a bomb attached to a mechanical motor, bombchus are more difficult to aim than bombs, but have a higher range. They attack a single zone at Weapon:2, but require a Shooting attack with a -1 penalty for every zone between you and your target zone.

=== Ammunition ===

  * **Bomb Arrows:** Bomb arrows increase your bow’s Weapon value by 2, and can be invoked (or compelled!) to damage or destroy surrounding creatures and the environment.
  * **Elemental Arrows:** When you gain elemental arrows, choose a specific element (usually fire, ice, or lightning). Using an elemental arrow automatically invokes its elemental type if relevant.
  * **Light Arrows:** Light arrows are devastatingly powerful divine weapons. They have Weapon:3, increasing to Weapon:4 against creatures of Malice, but cost a 🔷 in addition to a 💎 to use.

=== Other ===

  * **Magic Potion:** A magic potion fully clears either your Health, Stamina, or Magic stress track when consumed - your choice upon drinking it. Magic potions do not override the effects of conditions.
  * **Fairy Bottle:** A small fairy kept safe in a glass bottle. Once per session after you take the Injured condition, so long as you have a 💎 remaining, the fairy emerges from the bottle to heal you. This happens automatically, even if you don’t want it to.
