Location and Uses

The Legend of Zelda

The Stepladder is found in Level 4 in the First Quest and in Level 6 in the Second Quest. It is used to traverse small spans of Water, Holes, or Lava, which would otherwise block Link's progress. It is used automatically when Link needs to cross any of these obstacles.

Ocarina of Time



Majora's Mask



The Wind Waker



The Minish Cap

Ladders are found across Hyrule in The Minish Cap. They can be found inside Trees, Secret Caves, Minish-sized cracks in the Overworld, and within other cave systems throughout the land. They often lead down to rooms that contain Chests or the homes of Forest Picori.

All the Ladders in the game already exist in place with the exception of one; after Link has Fused Kinstone Pieces with all four of the Tingle Siblings?, a Ladder extends down from the center of North Hyrule Field, leading to a large Chest containing the Magical Boomerang.

Twilight Princess



Skyward Sword



Breath of the Wild

Ladders are within shrines and on the sides of some buildings. They enable Link to climb without using Stamina.

Tears of the Kingdom

Bokoblins are shown to utilize a Ladder during a mining operation in an underground cavern.

Other Appearances
