Dowsing



In Skyward Sword, Dowsing is a treasure-seeking ability that the Goddess Sword possesses.

Overview
In Dowsing mode, the Goddess Sword acts as a sort of compass to inform Link about nearby important items and help him track them down. Link can choose in the Dowsing menu which specific object or person he wishes to track down. When Link is in the Dowsing mode, the camera will switch to a first-person perspective and allow the young hero to explore his surroundings. As Link gets closer to the object or person he is searching for, the sword will beep faster and faster, pointing in the direction in which it is found.
