  • Skull Necklaces: You need 20 Skull Necklaces for a side quest on Windfall Island. Bokoblins drop these frequently, especially in Forsaken Fortress. farm them early if you want to complete this quest without backtracking.
  • Joy Pendants: Required for various rewards, including the Hero's Shield and the Magic Armor. Moblins are a primary source, particularly in Forsaken Fortress and Ganon's Tower. Mothulas also drop them.
  • Knight's Crests: Needed for the Hurricane Spin technique. Darknuts are the sole source. The Darknut on Isle of Steel is a guaranteed drop, and they are common in Tower of the Gods and Wind Temple.
  • Big Octos: Remember to check your sea chart for the swirling vortexes. Defeating all 8 is necessary for a Piece of Heart.
  • Enemy-Specific Items: Some enemies drop unique items (e.g., Kargaroc Feathers). If you need these for upgrades or quests, target the specific enemies.
  • Respawn Mechanics: Most common enemies respawn when you leave and re-enter a room or quadrant. Bosses and mini-bosses do not. This is useful for farming.
