Mystical Seeds are the small items that burn bushes, bounce off walls, freeze enemies and carry you across Labrynna. You need the Seed Satchel to hold them and the Seed Shooter to fire them, and you get both early in the game. Each seed type comes from its own Mystical Tree, and the Gale Seed warp lets you reach any tree you have already visited.

The Seed Satchel and Seed Shooter

Seed Satchel (present, Maku Tree)

After you clear the Maku Path and return to the present, walk north in Lynna City to the Maku Tree. She gives you the Seed Satchel with 20 Ember Seeds already inside. Set the satchel to the A or B button to use it. Other seed types are added to the same bag as you collect them.

Seed Shooter

Seed Shooter (Moonlit Grotto, present)

The Seed Shooter is the dungeon item of the Moonlit Grotto on Crescent Island, Level 3. Its chest sits on a green pad in a room with a red diamond switch in the floor. Step on the switch to bring up the chest, or defeat the enemies in the room if it does not appear. A seed fired from the Seed Shooter bounces off walls at the angle you aim, so it can reach switches and enemies behind cover. The Seed Shooter is a separate item from the satchel and sits on one of your button slots.

Seed Satchel upgrades

Talk to Tingle a second time after he gives you the Island Chart. He offers to enlarge your satchel, and accepting raises the limit from 20 to 50 seeds of each type. If you have not chosen Ricky as your animal companion, you need the Seed Shooter to reach Tingle again. The second upgrade, from 50 to 99, is a Linking Secret: enter the Deku Secret in a linked game, which you can carry over from Oracle of Seasons. Both upgrades can be made in either order.

Ember Seeds

Ember Seeds

Ember Seeds are the first seeds you own. The Ember Tree south of Lynna City grows in both eras, so you can pick seeds there in either. Burn the lone tree beside the water on the Deku Forest path to uncover a staircase.

Mystery Seeds

Mystery Seeds

In the past, stand beside the Mystery Tree in Deku Forest and hit it with your sword. It drops 18 Mystery Seeds, and the tree produces more later. An Owl Statue beside the tree wakes up when a Mystery Seed touches it and gives a hint. The Mystery Seed effect is random, so it can produce another seed’s effect. A Subrosian beside the Mystery Tree on East Rolling Ridge in the past also has a Linking Secret for you.

Scent Seeds

Scent Seeds and the Scent Seedling

The Scent Tree on Crescent Island is the seaside tree in the present. Its seeds attract monsters, which makes them useful for luring Like Likes and Ropes. To get the tree, win the first prize in the Wild Tokay game in the past, which gives you the Scent Seedling. Plant the seedling in the island’s tree nursery in the past. Scent trees take centuries to mature, so the seeds you pick in the present are from that planting.

Pegasus Seeds

Pegasus Seeds

Pegasus Trees exist only in the past. The one you need stands in the northwest corner of Rolling Ridge. Cut the bushes and shake the tree to collect 18 seeds. Pegasus Seeds let you dash across crumbling floors, charge shoulder-bash blocks, and jump farther with the Roc’s Feather. Keep a few in your satchel for the Crown Dungeon.

Gale Seeds

Gale Seeds

In the present, cut the bushes beside the Gale Tree in Symmetry City to uncover a dormant time portal. Pick 18 Gale Seeds from the tree in the same square. A Gale Seed warps you to any Mystical Tree you have visited before, so after the first trip to each tree you can return to it quickly from anywhere.

Seed trees by era

Labrynna has eight Mystical Trees. Most of them exist only in the past and vanish in the present, so you will often plant or harvest in one era and return in the other. The trees below are the ones you reach in the course of the game.
