The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD has arrived on the Nintendo Switch, allowing Nintendo fans the chance to experience this Zelda adventure on the go and without the need for motion-controlled gameplay. Even though there are some quality-of-life improvements in the Switch version, most game elements remain the same, including how to collect certain items.
In this guide, players will learn how to collect tumbleweed so that they can upgrade their items at the Skyloft Bazaar.
Where to Find Tumbleweed in Zelda: Skyward Sword
Once players have access to the Lanayru Desert in Skyward Sword, they can gather tumbleweed -- a bug net will be needed as well, as that's the only way to actually catch the rolling items. Players should head to the area shown in the image below. Players should see four beige circles in this section on the map, and players should follow the route marked in red to find tumbleweed. Players should be able to reach this section after going past the first bird statue in the region, which are used for saving the game.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword players should continue to loop around the area, and they should be able to grab about two tumbleweeds each time. Players should have their bug net while running around the desert area and keep an eye out for them, even behind Link. If one of the tumbleweeds runs into a wall or a rock or something, it'll be destroyed before Link can grab it.
The tumbleweed will keep coming back around this area, so players will find that this location is one of the best for collecting lots of tumbleweeds. These will certainly come in handy for acquiring stronger gear.
What is Tumbleweed Used For in Zelda: Skyward Sword
Once players gather tumbleweed from the desert, they can use it at the Skyloft Bazaar to upgrade several of Link's trusty items. Players can upgrade their bug net to the Big Bug Net for 3 tumbleweeds or even get a Fortified Shield for 3. There are a couple of other items and iconic Zelda weapons that players can upgrade, too, so collecting a ton of these tumbleweeds should prove to be useful.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is available on the Nintendo Switch and Wii.
