Using it allows Link to encounter a Goriya with whom he can trade certain items for a Boomerang in Toronbo Shores. The Magnifying Lens also allows Link to read the book found in the Library in Mabe Village with the fine print that contains the answer to the puzzle in the Wind Fish's Egg. As such, it is almost required to complete the game; it is possible to skip the Magnifying Lens by using the default egg path, ← ← ↑ → → ↑ ← ↑.

In, the Magnifying Lens also allows Link to see a friendly Zora in a house in Animal Village. At this point, the Photographer will come in and take a picture of the two together. Afterwards, the Zora will tell Link how to find Goriya.
