Find all 30 Treasure Bags in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link for EXP. Overworld and palace locations listed, some are missable.

Treasure Bags are unique items in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link that contain experience points (EXP). They generally offer a higher amount of EXP than defeating a typical enemy, especially if the enemy would have dropped a Treasure Bag instead of EXP. However, Treasure Bags found in the overworld or palaces can only be collected once and are then gone permanently.

There are a total of 9 Treasure Bags in the overworld and 21 inside the first six palaces, for a grand total of 30 Treasure Bags, each containing varying amounts of EXP.
