Link's Awakening

Roc's Feather

This legendary treasure has been handed down from olden times on Koholint Island. The magical Feather makes the bearer's body much lighter and allows him to jump very high. The jumping ability bestowed by the Feather is useful for avoiding enemy attacks or jumping over pits.

In Link's Awakening, the Roc's Feather is found inside a Treasure Chest within the Tail Cave.^[1] It allows Link to Jump over Enemy attacks and Pitfalls. He can combine it with the Pegasus Boots to perform a Long Jump, allowing him to Jump over up to three Pitfalls at once.^[5]

The Roc's Feather is needed to access several areas of Koholint Island.^[which?] It can also be used to Jump over Spike Roller's Spiked Roller to avoid getting hurt.^[1]

Lev. 2
You can also do a second jump in the air after your first jump.

In Four Swords Adventures, Roc's Feathers can be found in multiple Stages.^[which?] They allow the Links to Jump over three Holes. If the Links give a Feather to a Great Fairy and upgrade it to Level 2, it will give them the ability to Jump once more while in midair.

Trivia

In Link's Awakening, Oracle of Seasons, and Oracle of Ages, with enough skill, it is possible for Link to Jump over two Pitfalls instead of just one.
In Hyrule Warriors, the Roc Boots, the second tier of Linkle's Boots Weapon set, are adorned with Feathers resembling the Roc's Feather from Four Swords Adventures.
