Efficient returns and remaining treasures
Revisit early temple floors with bombs, arrows and later tools to create shortcuts. An earlier safe route can become unnecessary once a new item opens a direct passage.
Use the best checkpoint time available, carry healing and mark important symbols on the map. More Sand of Hours gives flexibility but does not replace safe-zone planning.
For completion, revisit islands for Spirit Gems, hearts, Treasure Maps and ship parts. Use the objective references below for individual locations; randomized ship-part rewards may need repeated activities.
