The Roc's Feather is, as its name implies, a feather from a mythical bird known as a Roc. Normally Link is burdened with the weight of all of his various tools and equipment, but with the Roc's Feather, he becomes light and nimble. With this agility he is able to leap to great heights. If used in conjunction with the Pegasus Boots or Pegasus Seeds he can leap great distances in a single bound.

[edit] Appearances
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
The Roc's Feather can be found in the Tail Cave, the first dungeon of the game. It allows Link to jump across small pits and soar over enemies to avoid their attacks with ease. While it is not upgraded at any point in the game, it can be used in conjunction with the Pegasus Boots to allow Link to jump up to three times further than on its own.
The Roc's Feather is more often used in the side-scrolling areas of the game where Link is often required to perform various acrobatics in order to solve puzzles.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
It is found in the Wing Dungeon, the second dungeon of the game. It can once again be used to clear small gaps in the ground. A new function is that when jumping and landing on a specific colored tile, the Roc's Feather allows Link to change its color and produce varying effects depending on the room. Link can jump further if he is using Pegasus Seeds (which serve the same purpose as the Pegasus Boots did in Link's Awakening) while jumping.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
It is found in the Poison Moth's Lair, the third dungeon of the game. It is identical to its counterpart in Oracle of Ages, though this version does feature a unique function as well; allowing Link to jump on a spring-boards to reach other floors.
Oracle of Seasons also features an upgrade for the Roc's Feather: the Roc's Cape. The cape allows Link to jump in the air just like the feather, but also allows him to catch the wind and soar further than normal. If used in conjunction with Pegasus Seeds, Link can hover an exceptional distance, almost crossing the entire screen in one leap.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Four Sword Adventures
It is one of the collectible items, first seen in the Village of the Blue Maiden, and allows link to jump accross small pits. When it is upgraded to Lvl 2 by a Great Fairy, Link can use the Roc's Feather to perform a double jump.
