The Compass can be found inside [[Dungeon]]s. Once obtained, it lets [[Link]] see the hidden [[Treasure Chest]]s on the [[Dungeon Map]]. It also indicates in which room and floor the boss is located. In games preceding {{LA}}, the Compass does not show the locations of hidden Treasure Chests. In {{LA|-}} and {{OoS}} and {{OoA}}, a tone alerts Link upon entering a room with a hidden [[Key]].<ref>{{Cite|You've got the Compass! Now, you can see where the chests and Nightmare are hidden!

The Compass and the Dungeon Map are both absent from {{TAoL}}, {{FS}}, and {{FSA}} due to differences in their game mechanics. They are also absent from {{PH}} and {{ST}}, as Link can pay 20 [[Rupee]]s to [[Gossip Stone]]s to reveal the location of Treasure Chests. In {{SS}}, the Dungeon Map already includes the functions of the Compass.

In {{ST|-}}, the [[Compass of Light]] is a special item that can be used to locate the [[Demon Train]].

In {{TSP}}, the Golden Compass does not have the usual directions of North and South. Instead, it has a variety of letters in all of its directions.

{{Sectstub|HW}}

In {{HW}}, the Compass appears as an [[Item Card]] in [[Adventure Mode]], resembling its appearance in {{TLoZ}}. It is used to reveal which squares on the search screen hide a secret by making them sparkle. An 8-Bit version of the compass from ''The Legend of Zelda'', called the [[8-Bit Compass]], appears as the Lv.★ form of [[Lana]]'s [[Summoning Gate]]. It was added to the game with the {{MM|-}} Pack DLC in {{HW|-}}.

In {{HW|L}}, [[Linkle]] has a Compass given to her by her grandmother, which has been passed down for generations.
