Where to Find Lost Maiamai Locations: Zelda A Link Between Worlds Guide

This guide will tell you the locations of all the lost maiamai children throughout Hyrule and Lorule.

If you don’t know what that is, there is a cave north of the House of Gales that you must blow open with a bomb. Mother Maiamai is inside and will ask you to find her lost children. She will put an icon on your map that will show each region and the number found in each one.

There are 100 total, 50 in each world. You can trade 10 in for upgrades to items in Ravio’s shop. You can only upgrade items you bought, not rented ones.

For all 100, you will get an upgraded spin attack with the Master Sword that has a wider range.
