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 .
Islands are identified with both names and coordinates. When viewing the map screen, imagine the letters A‑E along the top edge (identifying the columns) and the numbers 1–7 along the left edge (identifying the rows). For example, Outset Island is [B7] (column B, row 7). Great Sea map squares (which you get from the Fishmen) is not covered in this guide. All Treasure Maps will be shown in the guide, but only the Piece of Heart rewards are directly included in the guide (you can get the Rupee chests whenever you need them and come across them, and the special charts are pointless since you’re following this guide).
