Golden Leaves

Golden Leaves are key items in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. Valuable leaves of solid gold, formerly owned by Richard before his soldiers went rogue on him and threw him out of Kanalet Castle, all five must be retrieved by Link in order to obtain the Slime Key from Richard. They do not have to be obtained in any specific order.

Locations of the five Golden Leaves

 * 1) One leaf is guarded by the guard who pops out of many holes on the west side of Kanalet Castle.
 * 2) One leaf is guarded by the Crow sitting in a tree on the west side of Kanalet Castle. A rock must be thrown at the tree to make it move, and it must be defeated quickly before it flies away.
 * 3) One leaf is guarded by the sword and shield-wielding guard in the second room of Kanalet Castle's first floor.
 * 4) One leaf is guarded by the guard wielding a ball and chain mace on the second floor.
 * 5) One leaf is found behind the left stone carving of a guard on the second floor. When the carving is blown up with a bomb, the guard carrying the leaf will be visible, and can be defeated for one of the leaves.
