The 50 stamps belong exclusively to Twilight Princess HD for Wii U. On GameCube and Wii, some of these chests contain Rupees instead. The directions on this page are for HD Normal mode; in hero mode the world is mirrored.
Collect the dungeon stamps during each visit and bundle later returns with Clawshot and Dominion Rod. The later route back to the Goron Mines, the rewards for Golden Bugs and Poe Souls as well as the Cave of Ordeals stamps remain particularly easy. At the end, check the collection in the menu; The stamps can still be collected, even if their previous Miiverse purpose no longer applies.

When should you collect the stamps?
Many stamps are located on the normal route through the dungeons and can be collected on the first visit. However, others are in the open world and require items that Link only receives much later. A complete collection during the first half of the game is therefore not possible. If you follow our 100% Walkthrough for Twilight Princess, you can automatically take a large part of the stamps with you during the main story and only have to do a few catch-up finds before Hyrule Castle.
The stamps in the dungeons are particularly important. Don’t leave a temple too quickly once the final boss is defeated if you’re still missing a chest according to Compass. In Twilight Princess HD, numerous stamps replace previous ruby chests, so even seemingly unimportant side rooms have become relevant to a complete game.
Stamp A – Forest Temple
The first letter stamp is located in the Forest Temple in the same large room where the Big Key is found. In normal mode, this area is in the southwestern part of the dungeon. Jump into the large pool of water and swim to the northwest corner. There a low passage leads to a hidden Treasure Chest. Open it and you will get the Hylian letter A.
Stamp B – Snowpeak Ruins
In the Snowpeak Ruins you reach a room on the first floor where Link has to walk over narrow wooden beams. The path to Compass is also located there. Search the same room thoroughly before leaving. On an additional platform is another chest with the Hylian letter B.
Stamp C – Hyrule Field of Eldin
Head to the large area of Hyrule Field north of Kakariko. There is a noticeably dark or bare spot in the grass near the connection to Kakariko Valley. Transform yourself into Wolf-Link, activate your sense and dig into a secret cave there. Numerous small enemies are waiting inside. Eliminate them and then light all the torches. A Treasure Chest will then appear with the letter C.
Stamp D – Arbiter’s Grounds
The letter D is waiting in the Arbiter’s Grounds. In one of the large underground rooms you have to use the Spinner on different rails to finally get to the Big Key. In this area, also search the side corner of the room. There is an additional Treasure Chest, which contains the stamp D in Twilight Princess HD.
Stamp E – Kakariko Valley
In the northern area of Kakariko Valley there is one of the large owl statues that can only be moved after the Dominion Rod has been reactivated. Drag the statue away from its original location and then use it several times as a movable stepping surface. By cleverly repositioning you can reach a higher platform with a Treasure Chest. Inside is the letter E.
Stamp F – Northern Hyrule Field
Go to the Hyrule Field north of Castle Town and find the southernmost section of the river there. Underwater you can see a Treasure Chest behind a grille. Put on the Zora armor and the Iron Boots and look for an entrance from above that will allow you to get behind or over the obstacle. Open the underwater chest and take the Hylian letter F.
Stamp G – City in the Sky
The letter G is located in City in the Sky. After you receive the Double Clawshots, you will enter a large outdoor area with numerous floating Peahats. Use them to pull yourself from plant to plant over the abyss. To the very south of this area is a secluded platform. There is a Poe Soul and the Treasure Chest with the G stamp.
Stamp H – Goron Mines
In the northern area of the Fire Shrine or the Goron Mines there is a large room whose lower part is completely filled with water. Several Bulblin Archers fire at Link from a distance here. In normal mode, go to the northwest corner and put on the Iron Boots. There is a Treasure Chest underwater behind a wooden grille. Destroy the grate with the sword and open the box for the letter H.
Stamp I – Northern Hyrule Field
The letter I is also in a hidden wolf cave. On the Hyrule Field north of Castle Town, look for a bare spot conspicuously surrounded by tussocks of grass. Transform into Wolf-Link and dig in. Numerous Chus are waiting in the cave. Defeat all enemies and then open the Treasure Chest that appears with the stamp.
Stamp J – large cave at Lake Hylia
Warp to Lake Hylia and follow the walkway towards the ladder that leads to the higher rock paths. There is a blastable rock wall near the Heulstein. Behind it begins a very long cave with numerous enemies, torch puzzles and several Treasure Chests. About halfway you will reach a larger node room. Light both torches there. An additional Treasure Chest appears and contains the letter J.
Stamp K – Lakebed Temple
In the large main room of the Lakebed Temple is the famous rotating stone staircase. Directly below the boss door entrance is a Treasure Chest on a raised platform. It will only become accessible after at least one of the water streams has been activated and the water level in the main room has been increased. Open the chest for the letter K.
Stamp L – Temple of Time
In the southern room of the fifth floor of the Temple of Time you will find a Small Key during the normal course of the dungeon. Then search the same room completely. At the southern end is another chest containing the Hylian letter L.
Stamp M – Cave at Great Bridge of Hylia
On the way from the Great Bridge of Hylia towards the southern part of the Hyrule Field, there are several destructible stones high up on a rock wall. Shoot bomb arrows at it to reveal grappling hook targets behind it. Move from point to point and reach a secluded platform where a Poe Soul is waiting. Look for a circle of grass here and dig into a cave as Wolf Link. Defeat all the bone monsters and then open the chest with the letter M.
Stamp N – Forest Temple
The second stamp in the Forest Temple is the letter N. In the Forest Temple’s large crossing room, a side path leads to an area where a monkey is freed during the main action. Return to the higher level and look for the wooden scaffolding on the side of the room. Jump onto the narrow construction and follow it to Treasure Chest with the N stamp.
Stamp O – Kakariko Valley Cave
South of the large bridge in Kakariko Valley there is a destructible rock wall. Blow it up and enter the cave behind it. This optional Sinus contains several rewards, including a Piece of Heart and a Poe Soul. Search it completely and open the additional Treasure Chest, which contains the letter O.
Stamp P – Northern Hyrule Field
On the Hyrule Field north of Castle Town, near the cave exit from which water flows, is another prominent circle of grass. Dig in with Wolf Link. There are several Skulltulas and destructible wooden fences waiting underground. As soon as all enemies have been killed, light the three torches in the room. A chest appears and contains the letters P.
Stamp Q – Snowpeak Ruins
The second stamp of the Snowpeak Ruins can already be found in the entrance area, but only after Link has the Ball and Chain. There are several pieces of decorative knight’s armor on the right and left. In normal mode, completely destroy the middle armor on the corresponding right side with the Ball and Chain. Behind it, a small wall niche appears with the Treasure Chest for the letters Q.
Stamp R – Gerudo Desert
In the Gerudo Desert lies a remote rock platform behind a large gorge. The area can only be reached by Link pointing the Clawshot at a Peahat floating above the abyss and letting it carry him to the other side. Drop down over the rock platform. The Treasure Chest that is openly visible there contains the letters R.
Stamp S – Wolf’s Den on Lake Hylia
Return again to the area with the Howling Stone and the entrance to the Long Lantern Cave at Lake Hylia. Even before the actual cave entrance, you notice a group of tufts of grass surrounding a bare spot. Transform into Wolf-Link and dig down. Numerous bomb amphibians are waiting underground. Defeat all enemies and a Treasure Chest with the letter S will appear.
Stamp T – Temple of Time
On the seventh floor of the Temple of Time you reach the large room with the huge scales. Position the weights so that Link is as high as possible on one of the scale pans. Then look at the ceiling in the middle of the room and pull yourself up using the grappling hook target there. In the upper level you will find rails for the Spinner. Follow them to a secluded platform where a Poe Soul is also waiting. The chest there contains the letters T.
Stamp U – Goron Mines
The letter U is located in the same large room of the fire shrine as the H stamp. Instead of going underground, you search the upper level. In one of the corners there is a net or a grappling hook target. Pull yourself up and land on the platform there. Open the Treasure Chest for the second stamp of this dungeon area.
Stamp V – South of Castle Town
Leave Castle Town through the south gate and go down the large staircase. There is a deep hole at the bottom of the Hyrule Field. You can see several grappling hook targets on the inner walls. The stamp can only be accessed after you have received the Double Clawshots in City in the Sky. Pull yourself through the shaft from target to target and finally drop onto the small ledge with the Treasure Chest. Inside is the letter V.
Stamp W – Lake Hylia
In the very south of Lake Hylia there is a small bay or bulge, which can also be clearly seen on the map. Dive there with the Zora armor and put on the Iron Boots. Search the lake bottom for a niche filled with aquatic plants or seaweed. There is a hidden Treasure Chest with the letters W between the plants.
Stamp X – Sacred Grove
Return to the scene of one of the battles against the Skull Kid in the Sacred Grove. In a side niche above the ruins there is a Treasure Chest. First, climb over the vines to the raised level. Then use the Spinner on the rails along the wall and jump off at the right moment. This will take you to the niche with the letter X.
Stamp Y – Lakebed Temple
After you get the Clawshot in the Lakebed Temple, you can return to the room with the long water slide. Put on the Iron Boots and run against the strong current to the top. Grappling hook targets along the route can significantly speed up the climb. There is another grapple point behind the small waterfall in the upper area. Pull yourself over and drop to the Treasure Chest with the letters Y.
Stamp Z – City in the Sky
The last letter stamp is also in City in the Sky. In the central upper area of the main tower you can work your way up the outer wall with the Double Clawshots. Instead of continuing straight into the core room, follow the outer path around the tower. A Poe Soul and the Treasure Chest with the letter Z are waiting on a remote platform.
Stamp Rupee – all 60 Poe Souls
For the ruby stamp you first have to collect all 60 Poe Souls and completely solve Jovani’s curse. After Jovani is human again, you will later find him in Telma’s tavern. Then visit his house again and talk to his cat. In addition to a ruby reward, you will receive the ruby stamp.
Stamp Treasure Chest – Lantern Cave on Lake Hylia
This stamp is located deep in the long cave above Lake Hylia, which already played a role in the J stamp. Go through most of the cave and blow up any suspicious rock walls. Near the end there is an additional Treasure Chest behind another destructible rock. It contains the Treasure Chest Stamp. Since there is also a Piece of Heart and numerous Rupees in the same cave, a complete walkthrough is worth it anyway.
Stamp Piece of Heart – Cave north of Bridge of Eldin
North of Bridge of Eldin is a large optional cave that can only be fully explored with Clawshot and Iron Boots. Use the raised grab point to pull yourself to the entrance and jump several times into deep shafts inside. While jumping, equip the Iron Boots so that Link is attracted to the magnetic surfaces. At the bottom you will find a Treasure Chest with a real Piece of Heart. There are two torches right next to it. Light both of them and another chest will appear – inside is the Heart Piece Stamp.
Stamp Heart Container – Cave of Ordeals Level 40
The heart container stamp is one of the five stamps of the Cave of Ordeals. Fight your way to the fourth large fairy station or level 40. Next to the Great Fairy there is an additional Treasure Chest. Open it and you will receive the heart container stamp.
Stamp Link – Happy
Return to Ordon and enter the stable in the goat paddock. Transform into Wolf-Link and look for a dig spot in the stable. Dig into the secret cave below. Numerous rats are waiting inside. After you have eliminated them, light the torches in the room. A chest appears and contains the stamp Link – happy.
Stamp Link – Angry
The Angry Link is located in a secret wolf lair on the Hyrule Field at the western entrance to Castle Town. You need at least the Clawshot. Pull yourself to the higher vines or grasping points in the area where the female golden butterfly is found. There is a striking stone circle nearby. Dig in there as a wolf, defeat all enemies in the cave and then open the Treasure Chest that appears with Link – angry.
Stamp Link – Sad
Head to the Bridge of Eldin and search the area immediately next to its southern end. There is a darker area of earth where Wolf-Link can burrow. The cave below contains a pool of water with bombfish. Swim to the other side and open the Treasure Chest there. Inside is the stamp Link – sad.
Stamp Link – Surprises
This stamp is directly connected to the drill hole. Fight your way through the first ten levels. In the area of the first Great Fairy there is a Treasure Chest waiting in addition to the normal reward. It contains the stamp Link – surprise. You can take it with you on your first full visit to this section.
Stamp Wolf-Link
In the Hyrule Field of Faron Province there is a small hill on which several tufts of grass surround a bare patch. Transform into Wolf-Link and dig into a secret cave there. Inside you will meet, among other things, Deku Babas, rats and other small enemies. Eliminate all enemies and then examine the large Treasure Chest among the many smaller crates. Inside lies the Wolf Link stamp.
Stamp Midna – happy
The Happy Midna Stamp is also located in the Cave of Ordeals. Reach level 30 or the third large fairy station. Next to the Great Fairy there is an additional chest with Midna – cheerful.
Stamp Midna – angry
In the Palace of Twilight you reach a room in the first of the two large side wings, the floor of which is covered in black fog. After the Zant Mask is defeated, you can use the Double Clawshots to pull yourself to a grapple point on the ceiling and reach the upper platforms. In one Treasure Chest there is the stamp Midna – angry.
Stamp Midna – sad
The sad Midna waits in the Gerudo desert. In a lower section you can reach an elevated platform using the grappling hook and an old tree. Nearby, three skulls lie conspicuously together. Bury yourself as a wolf between them. The cave below contains numerous blastable rocks and two Poe Souls. Destroy all the rocks and then light the three torches scattered around the room. A chest appears and contains Midna – sad.
Stamp Midna – surprise
In the Arbiter’s Grounds you reach a room where a huge chandelier has to be lifted using a long chain. At the corresponding section, pull the chandelier completely up and continue on the now accessible walkway. Instead of immediately following the main route, you go to the additional Treasure Chest on the side. Inside is the stamp Midna – surprised.
Stamp Ooccoo
The Ooccoo stamp is located in City in the Sky and requires the Double Clawshots. Return to the area behind the bridge destroyed by Argorok and use the Double Clawshots to work your way through the room full of targets and metal gratings. Shortly before the exit there is an additional platform opposite the actual main route. A small jump or a final double hook change takes you to the Treasure Chest with the Ooccoo stamp.
Stamp Zelda – happy
This stamp is one of the easily missable collectibles in Hyrule Castle. You must collect all of the Small Key in the dungeon, including the optional key in the castle graveyard. This leaves a key left just before Ganondorf’s Throne Room. Use it on the locked side door behind the last Darknut. Behind it lies a huge treasury with several large chests. One of them contains the stamp Zelda – happy.
Stamp Zelda – Angry
The stamp Zelda – Angry is the second Cave of Ordeals stamp and is waiting on level 20. Reach the second large fairy station and open the additional Treasure Chest next to the Great Fairy.
Stamp Zelda – Sad
Outside Hyrule Castle is the room with the wind turbine puzzle, behind which you get the Dungeon Map. After taking the map from the large chest, climb the ladder immediately next to it. Then follow the entire battlement on the wall to its end. There is another Treasure Chest stamped Zelda – sad.
Stamp Zelda – surprise
Leave Castle Town through the south gate and go down the long stairs. In the middle of the fountain stands a seemingly unreachable Treasure Chest. Look up at the small towers above the fountain. There is a grappling hook target there. Pull yourself up and then drop down so that you can reach the glider rails running between the towers. Drive along with the Spinner and jump into the niche above the fountain at the right moment. Open the chest for Zelda – surprised.
Stamp Zant
The Zant Stamp is located in the second large side wing of the Shadow Palace. In a room with multiple grappling hook targets, you can use the Double Clawshots to pull yourself to the upper level. Examine all the niches around the room. In one of the high Treasure Chests lies the Zant stamp.
Stamp Agitha
This stamp is not found in a chest. Collect at least twelve of the total 24 Golden Bugs and present it to Princess Agitha in Castle Town. Once she has obtained twelve different copies, she will give the to Link in addition to her normal ruby and wallet rewards Agitha stamp.
Stamp Malo Mart
First complete the side quest about expanding the Malo Mart to Castle Town. To do this, you have to support the bridge work and donate enough Rupees in the Malo Mart in Kakariko. As soon as the branch opens in the former luxury store in Castle Town, you can buy the magic armor and the exclusive Maromarket stamp there. It costs 50 Rupees.
Stamp Chicken
Go to the chicken flight station above Lake Hylia and start the flying game there. Grab a chicken and glide to the large pyramid-shaped platform in the middle of the lake. There are several Treasure Chests on their different levels. The Chicken Stamp is in the third chest from the top. Since the well-known Piece of Heart and other ruby rewards are also located on the same construction, it is worth a complete descent across all levels.
Stamp Fairy
The last stamp of the Cave of Ordeals that can be found directly is at the very end of the challenge. Fight your way through all 50 levels. Shortly before the final jump to the last Great Fairy, there is an additional Treasure Chest on the small transition or last ledge. Depending on the counting method, this position is described as the last area of level 49 or as a transition to level 50. Open the chest and take the Fairy Stamp.
Stamp True Midna – Number 50
The final stamp cannot be found anywhere in Hyrule. Once you have collected the other 49 stamps, the True Midna stamp will be automatically unlocked. This completes the entire Twilight Princess HD stamp collection.
Important: If True Midna doesn’t appear, you’re missing at least one other stamp. Open the stamp screen in the collection menu and compare the empty spaces with the order of this solution.
The five stamps of the Cave of Ordeals

|---|---|
| 10 | Link – surprised |

Which stamps are most often overlooked?
One of the most common missing copies is the Ooccoo stamp in City in the Sky, because it is in an already traversed double hook room off the direct route. Also easily overlooked are Zelda – happy in Hyrule Castle, as this requires the optional key from the castle graveyard, as well as the stamps in the various wolf dens of the Hyrule Field. If you only follow the main plot and don’t examine any conspicuous grass or stone circles, you will miss several of these underground chests.
The five Cave of Ordeals stamps also often lead to an incomplete collection. You have to play through the Cave of Ordeals all the way to the end and open the additional Treasure Chests at the intermediate stations. Simply reaching the respective Great Fairy is not enough.
Can you miss stamps permanently?
Most stamps can still be collected later. Even after completing a dungeon, you can usually re-enter it and open missing Treasure Chests. The Compass is particularly convenient because unopened chests are displayed on the Dungeon Map. Some stamps require later items anyway, so a final round of collection is completely normal.
Before the final fight against Ganondorf, you should especially search Hyrule Castle completely. For Zelda – happy you need the additional Small Key from the graveyard. Our Walkthrough for Hyrule Castle therefore deliberately leads through both optional outdoor areas before we enter the castle tower.
With the automatic activation of True Midna, the complete stamp collection of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is completed. You have now found all 26 Hylian letters, all character stamps and all special symbol stamps. At the same time, the Locations guide you through a large part of the game’s optional content – from the Cave of Ordeals and the Golden Bugs to Jovani’s Poe Soul quest to hidden caves, the chicken flight and the Malo Mart side quest.
For a complete score, the 50 stamps are one of the most important additional tasks in the HD version. Together with the 24 Golden Bugs, the 60 Poe Souls, all Pieces of Heart, the seven Hidden Skills, the Cave of Ordeals and the exclusive Cave of Shadows, they form an essential part of our complete Twilight Princess HD 100% route.
