The Compass is a recurring dungeon item in Template:LZS.

Uses

MM3D Compass Icon

The Compass can be found inside dungeons. Once obtained, it lets Link see the hidden Treasure Chests on the Dungeon Map. It also indicates in which room and floor the boss is located. In Zelda games preceding Ocarina of Time, the Compass does not show the locations of hidden Treasure Chests. In Link's Awakening and the Template:OoX, a tone alerts Link upon entering a room with a hidden key.[1]

The Compass and the Dungeon Map are both absent from The Adventure of Link, Four Swords, and Four Swords Adventures due to differences in their game mechanics. They are also absent from Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, as Link can pay 20 Rupees to Gossip Stones to reveal the location of Treasure Chests. In Skyward Sword, the Dungeon Map already includes the functions of the Compass.

In Phantom Hourglass, the Compass of Light is a special item that can be used to locate the Demon Train.
