This is a no-nonsense, mobile-friendly guide for getting everything as soon as possible and in an efficient order. For description, more guides and feedback, see The Legend of Zelda optimal equipment guides.
This guide maintains a natural playthrough order. For example, Ice Cavern is covered after the Fire Temple, because learning the Serenade of Water before even starting the Forest Temple feels wrong. Everything will still be mentioned at the earliest possible point you can get it, but the summary sections will assume you wait until it’s properly covered by the guide.
