Libraries,(OoS | OoA | TMC | BotW)[1][2][3][4] also known as Houses of Books,(ALttP)[5] and Village Libraries,(LA)[6][name references needed] are recurring locations in The Legend of Zelda series.

Features and Overview

A Link to the Past

In A Link to the Past, the House of Books is located south of Kakariko Village. The Book of Mudora can be found on the top of a bookshelf, and can be knocked down by dashing into it with the Pegasus Boots.

Link's Awakening

Main articles: Atlas Of Koholint Island, Auto Map and Memo Guide Book, Dark Secrets And Mysteries Of Koholint, Fun With Bombs, How to Handle Your Shield Like a Pro!, Secrets Of The Whirling Blade, Selecting The Item That's Right For You and The Properties Of Warp Holes

In Link's Awakening, the Village Library contains several books that explain basic controls, the Atlas of Koholint Island that lets Link see the full map of Koholint Island, and Dark Secrets And Mysteries Of Koholint, which gives directions to navigate inside the Wind Fish's Egg.

In Link's Awakening DX, an additional book can be found atop of a bookshelf. In order to access it, Link must knock it down by dashing into the bookshelf using the Pegasus Boots. Link can then read it to learn the instructions needed to access the Color Dungeon.

Oracle of Seasons

In Oracle of Seasons, the Eyeglass Island Library is mentioned by a Ghini as part of the Library Secret.

Oracle of Ages

Main article: Eyeglass Island Library

In Oracle of Ages, the Eyeglass Island Library is located in the Zora Seas. It can only be opened by using the Library Key. Inside, Link can find the Book of Seals in the present and Fairy Powder in the past. The Mirror Shield can also be obtained from here through a Linked Game.

The Minish Cap

Main article: Royal Hyrule Library

In The Minish Cap, the Royal Hyrule Library is home to the Minish elder Librari. In order to reach it, Link must find the three missing Library Books. When found, the Library will store the books back on their bookshelves so Link can climb them and reach Librari, who will lead him to the location of the Flippers. When Vaati takes over Hyrule Castle, a Vassal blocks the entrance to the Royal Hyrule Library.

Breath of the Wild

The Library is a two-story room found on the eastern side of Hyrule Castle. Both floors are used for Book storage, while two subfloors are connected to stairways and are used to access different parts of the Library and the Hyrule Castle Corridors. On the first floor, the western exit is blocked by Malice, and it can only be accessed by defeating the Glowing Eyeball in the East Passage.

Due to Calamity Ganon's influence, the Library has fallen into disrepair and much of the architecture of the Library has fallen apart.[7] Portions of the Library are covered in Malice, further inhibiting travel throughout the room. Segments of the Library's roof have given way, allowing travel between its interior and the exterior of Hyrule Castle.

The Library is the resting place of the Castle Library Books. The first issue can be found resting on a table in the center of the Library's ground floor. The second is located on a podium on the western side of the second floor. These Books detail recipes favored by the Royal Family of Hyrule.[8][9]

The Library also contains several hidden rooms and passages behind metallic Bookshelves, which can be moved using the Magnesis Rune. One of these Bookshelves can be found on the eastern side of the Library, and it reveals a secret passageway leading to the Docks. Behind a Bookshelf on the opposite wall, Link will find an abandoned excavation site, which reveals a portion of the Astral Observatory's walls. Inside, Link can find a Stone Smasher, an Ore Deposit, a Rare Ore Deposit, and a Treasure Chest containing a Silver Rupee. The northern wall of the Library holds a Bookshelf that hides the King's Study, where Link may read King Rhoam's Journal.

Non-Canon Information

In the A Link to the Past comic by Shotaro Ishinomori, the Library in Kakariko Village is known as the House of Books. When Link returns to Kakariko to find clues about the remaining two Pendants of Virtue,[10] he finds the library has been set on fire by Agahnim's soldiers.[11] Link learns that the Librarian, who he must speak to according to Sahasrahla,[12] is trapped inside the flames.[13] Link then pours a bucket of water on him and barges in to successfully save the librarian, who eventually gives him the Book of Mudora, which they managed to save from the flames.
