Permanently Missable Items: Difference between revisions

{{Name|Fan|Permanently Missable Items}} are {{Plural|Series|Item|link}}, upgrades, and events that have limited chances to obtain or experience. If certain decisions are made, specific things are done in the incorrect order, or some changes and events occur in the game, then certain things will no longer be available. This listing is intended for aiding {{Term|Series|100% Completion|link}} runs.

==={{Term|ALttP|Hyrule Castle (A Link to the Past)}} {{Term|ALttP|Dungeon Map}} and {{Term|ALttP|Lamp}} {{Plural|ALttP|Treasure Chest|display=Chests}}===

Because {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule Castle (A Link to the Past)|link}} becomes inaccessible after defeating {{Term|ALttP|Agahnim|link}} in {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule Castle Tower|link}}, {{Term|ALttP|Link|link}} will not be able to obtain the {{Term|ALttP|Dungeon Map|link}} if he fails to open the {{Term|ALttP|Treasure Chest|link}} containing it. Not only that, but there are two rooms on the first floor that {{Term|ALttP|Link}} could fail to visit, resulting in the {{Term|ALttP|Map}} being incomplete. Finally, there is a {{Term|ALttP|Treasure Chest|display=Chest}} next to {{Term|ALttP|Princess Zelda|link}} in the {{Term|ALttP|Dungeon}} that contains either the {{Term|ALttP|Lamp|link}} (or more likely a {{Term|ALttP|Blue Rupee|link}} if {{Term|ALttP|Link}} already has the {{Term|ALttP|Lamp}}) which will also become inaccessible after defeating {{Term|ALttP|Agahnim}}. The {{Term|ALttP|Lamp}} is available in three {{Plural|ALttP|Treasure Chest|display=Chests}}, and because {{Term|ALttP|Link}} needs it in order to progress through the secret passageway, it is not missable, however the {{Term|ALttP|Treasure Chest|display=Chest}} next to {{Term|ALttP|Princess Zelda}} is. {{Term|ALttP|Link}} would have to purposely avoid all such {{Plural|ALttP|Treasure Chest|display=Chests}}, as he has to visit all the rooms containing them as he progresses through the {{Term|ALttP|Dungeon}}, and they are all within plain sight. Failing to explore all the rooms on the {{Term|ALttP|Map}}, however, is an easier mistake to make, as there are two paths through the first floor.

If {{Term|ALttP|Link|link}} does not open the {{Term|ALttP|Treasure Chest|link}} containing the {{Term|ALttP|Boomerang|link}} in {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule Castle (A Link to the Past)|link}}, he will not be able to obtain it from said {{Term|ALttP|Treasure Chest|display=Chest}} when the {{Term|ALttP|Dungeon|link}} becomes inaccessible after defeating {{Term|ALttP|Agahnim|link}} in {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule Castle Tower|link}}. However, the {{Term|ALttP|Boomerang}} itself is not permanently missable, as it can be obtained from a {{Term|ALttP|Treasure Chest|display=Chest}} in {{Term|ALttP|Kakariko Village|link}} that would normally hold {{Plural|ALttP|Arrow|link}}. The {{Term|ALttP|Treasure Chest|display=Chest}} in {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule Castle (A Link to the Past)}} will then contain {{Plural|ALttP|Arrow}}, but will still be missable, although {{Plural|ALttP|Arrow}} are freely available elsewhere. If {{Term|ALttP|Link}} does not collect the {{Term|ALttP|Boomerang}} from either {{Term|ALttP|Treasure Chest|display=Chest}}, he has the option to get the {{Term|ALttP|Magical Boomerang|link}} from a {{Term|ALttP|Treasure Chest|display=Chest}} in the {{Term|ALttP|Village of Outcasts|link}} which would normally contain 300 {{Plural|ALttP|Rupee|link}}.

The {{Term|OoS|Ring Box L-3|link}} upgrade is permanently missable through a glitch when playing a {{Term|OoS|Linked Game|link}} in the Japanese versions of {{OoS|-}} and {{OoA|-}} (the European versions fixed this glitch, but it is not currently known if it still affects the North American versions). If a {{Term|OoS|Ring Box|display=Ring Box L-2}} has already been acquired over the normal course of the {{Term|OoS|Linked Game}} (by receiving it from the {{Term|OoS|Goron|link}} at {{Term|OoS|Goron Mountain|link}} or by buying it from the {{Term|OoS|Lynna Village Shop|link}}), the secret for {{Term|OoS|Farore (Oracle)|link}} will not work anymore; it can still be entered on the password screen and a message appears saying that {{Term|OoS|Link|link}} has received {{Term|OoS|Ring Box|display=Ring Box L-3}}, but {{Term|OoS|Ring Box|display=Ring Box L-2}} will remain in the {{Term|OoS|Inventory|link}}. To avoid this, the {{Term|OoS|Ruul Secret|link}} or the {{Term|OoS|Symmetry Secret|link}} quest must be completed with {{Term|OoS|Ring Box|display=Ring Box L-1}} still in the {{Term|OoS|Inventory}}. Preferably, the secrets are taken back to {{Term|OoS|Holodrum|link}} or {{Term|OoA|Labrynna|link}} as soon as they become available (upon completing the second {{Term|OoS|Dungeon|link}} in the {{Term|OoS|Linked Game}}). After upgrading the {{Term|OoS|Ring Box}} in the Non-{{Term|OoS|Linked Game}} (the glitch will not happen in a Non-{{Term|OoS|Linked Game}}, so it does not matter if {{Term|OoS|Ring Box|display=Ring Box L-1}} or {{Term|OoS|Ring Box|display=L-2}} is in the {{Term|OoS|Inventory}}), a password is received which can then be given to {{Term|OoS|Farore}} in the {{Term|OoS|Linked Game}}. This will result in {{Term|OoS|Link}} receiving the {{Term|OoS|Ring Box|display=Ring Box L-2}} upgrade. From then on, {{Term|OoS|Ring Box|display=Ring Box L-3}} is available over the normal course of the game (receiving or buying, as mentioned above).

The interiors of the four {{Plural|BotW|Divine Beast|link}} cannot be revisited once {{Term|BotW|Link|link}} has activated their main {{Plural|BotW|Terminal|link}}, as they subsequently take aim at {{Term|BotW|Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|link}} with their lasers and are deemed too dangerous to approach. As such, the contents of any {{Plural|BotW|Treasure Chest|link}} still inside them become unobtainable. All of these {{Plural|BotW|Treasure Chest|display=Chests}} are optional, however, as they contain items such as {{Plural|BotW|Rupee|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Weapon|link}}, and various {{Plural|BotW|Material|link}}, which can be recuperated from elsewhere across {{Term|BotW|Hyrule|link}}.

 

==={{Term|TotK|Hyrule Compendium|link}} Pictures===

 

While most enemies have lower ranked versions that stay the same throughout Tears of the Kingdom and most story bosses can be refought in {{Term|TotK|The Depths|link}}, the following enemy pictures are missable if not obtained beforehand:

 

* {{Term|TotK|Moragia|link}}

* {{Term|TotK|Seized Construct|link}}

 

Additionally, {{Term|TotK|Master Kohga|link}}'s picture is missable if the player doesn't take it during one of his 5 boss battles.
