Golden Leaves are quest items in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. These valuable leaves of solid gold were once owned by Richard before his soldiers turned rogue and threw him out of Kanalet Castle. All five leaves must be retrieved by Link in order for Richard to grant Link access to the hiding place of the Slime Key. They can be retrieved in any order.
