Bell
- Not to be confused with Sea Lily's Bell.
Bells are recurring Items and Objects in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2][3][4][name references needed]
Location and Uses
Link's Awakening
The Sea Lily's Bell is a Bell that is found inside the Key Cavern.
Majora's Mask
A small Bell is mounted on a wooden post at the Laundry Pool. Above the Bell is a sign which reads,[note 1]
Those with business, please ring bell. No solicitors.
Curiosity Shop
The Bell can be rung to draw Kafei out from the Curiosity Shop Back Room. If Link mails the Letter to Kafei, the Postman will ring the bell at 3:05 PM on the Second Day in order to hand-deliver the letter to Kafei. Link can also ring the Bell with by attacking it. If Kafei is in the Curiosity Shop Back Room, he will briefly step out and look around, then promptly go back inside and lock the door behind him. Kafei stops responding to the Bell at 1:00 PM on the Second Day if he received the Letter to Kafei, or at the Dawn of the Final Day if he did not receive it.
A second, larger Bell appears on the Stock Pot Inn's terrace. Striking it with an attack causes it to sway slightly, but otherwise has no effect.

A Link Between Worlds
The Bell is a gift from Irene. Shortly after Yuga begins his attack on Hyrule Castle, Irene spots Link walking about Hyrule as she flies overhead on her broom. She explains that the Fortune Teller told her to "take care of green" in order to avoid meeting disaster, and that she believes Link to be said "green".[5] Once Link is given the Bell, a new button for ringing it at any time appears permanently on the bottom screen.
The Bell is used to summon Irene in order to transport Link to any Weather Vane that has been activated within the world he currently inhabits. After Irene is kidnapped by Yuga and later awakens as a Sage, ringing the Bell will only summon her broom. The Bell has no effect when used indoors.
Link can warp to any of the following locations using the Bell:
Breath of the Wild
Other Appearances
The Faces of Evil
In The Faces of Evil, the Bell is an item that can be rung to stop flying enemies for a short period of time, for about eight seconds. It costs 5 Rubies per use. It is obtained in the Goronu area after defeating Goronu.
Hyrule Warriors
In Hyrule Warriors, the Bell is a class of Weapon used by Marin, which is available through the Link's Awakening Pack DLC in Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors Legends. The Bell and Marin are instead unlocked by clearing Battle F4 on the Koholint Island Map in Adventure Mode in Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition. It is associated with Water.
Variations
The default Bell is the Sea Lily Bell, which is named after and resembles artwork of the Sea Lily's Bell from Link's Awakening. The second form of the Bell is the Wavelet Bell, followed by the Awakening Bell.

Weak Point Smash
Against commander enemies, Marin swings the Bell to splash big gushes of water to her sides; one to her right, one to her left, and then one straight up at her enemies. Against Giant Bosses, Marin swings her Bell onto the boss before jumping over and riding the Wind Fish as it flies in and rams itself at the Giant Boss.
Special Attack
Marin gives a small curtsy to her enemies before ringing the Bell to call forth the Wind Fish. She then checks above her to see if it is coming, followed by the Wind Fish heavily dropping down onto the enemies in front of her. Marin gives a small whine in surprise upon the Wind Fish's impact.
Focus Spirit
Upon activation, Marin swings her Bell once and then closes her eyes as she holds a fish to her chest, building the energy within her before jumping with a fist-pump in the air. When deactivating, Marin happily twirls around and starts to hover from the ground while singing the "Ballad of the Wind Fish". A Magic Circle then appears beneath her enemies in front of her as a music note in a bubble starts drawing in nearby enemies. She then ends her song, causing the bubble to burst. Upon depletion, Marin swings the Bell in the air before making one big swing that sends a huge water bubble into the air, which then comes crashing down as a burst of water against her enemies. The impact knocks Marin down in surprise.
Trivia
- Using the Bell during Hyrule Hotfoot will disqualify Link from the race, giving him no awards upon reaching the goal. However, this will not occur if Link uses the Bell while in Lorule.
