Lens of Truth
Type Defensive Magical Item
Fields Illusion, Sense
Cost 15 rupees

A Lens of Truth appears as a purple magnifying glass. Several red markings adorn the glass, making it appear similar to one large eye. When one holds this glass, it enables them to see through all forms of visual illusion, as well as not being blinded by bright flashes, such as those from Deku Nuts.

In place of a Lens of Truth, the user may instead choose to gain a Cross, which appears as a white crucifix. Its effect is identical to that of the Lens of Truth.

Augment

Communal
Cost 15 rupees

The user can gain the Communal augment simultaneously with the original treasure for an additional cost, or as a separate treasure at a later time.

While the user is benefiting from the Lens of Truth or Cross, he or she can provide the same benefit to any creatures he mentally designates within the same general area. The affect creatures need not be aware of this effect, and cannot willingly negate it unless they, too, have a Lens of Truth or similar effect.

Trivia

  • The Lens of Truth treasure canonically appears in the Zelda series, initially in Ocarina of Time. More information about the canonical version of this treasure can likely be found on Zelda Wiki.
