The Lost Maiamai are Items and characters in A Link Between Worlds. They are the 100 identical children of Mother Maiamai.

Biography

The Lost Maiamai are first introduced when Link meets Mother Maiamai in a Cave next to Lake Hylia. There, she pleads for Link to find and collect her missing children and return them, promising rewards in exchange. To aid him in his search, Mother Maiamai also gives Link the Maiamai Map, which tracks the number of Lost Maiamai remaining in each region.

Following this meeting with Mother Maiamai, 100 Lost Maiamai will appear scattered throughout the worlds; 50 in Hyrule and 50 in Lorule, many of them well-hidden, and each one crying for their mother. Their squeaking will be audible if the Lost Maiamai is within the screen's view, and if Link stands close enough to a Lost Maiamai, he will turn his head and stare in the direction of the squeaking, providing a hint towards its exact location.

Most of the Lost Maiamai require certain abilities or Items to rescue. Some Lost Maiamai may be found under Rocks or in Grass. Some are found underwater, requiring Link to dive with the Zora's Flippers to retrieve them. Lost Maiamai hidden in Trees or sitting atop statues can be jostled out by Dashing into the structure with the Pegasus Boots. Lost Maiamai stuck on walls are too strongly suctioned for Link to pull off by hand; he can instead push them off by Wall Merging into the wall, then emerging from the wall when he is beneath the Lost Maiamai. Once Link can use the Sand Rod, he can use it to unearth Lost Maiamai from sand as well.

For every ten Lost Maiamai Link finds and returns, Mother Maiamai will upgrade one of his Items into a "Nice" weapon, provided he owns the Item and is not merely renting it from Ravio. After all Lost Maiamai have been found, she will "upgrade" Link himself, turning his Spin Attack into the Great Spin. Mother Maiamai will then leave her Cave with her children to journey to a different dimension. However, a single Maiamai will stay behind in the Cave, telling Link that she is the 72nd that he saved, and asking the young hero to wish her luck on being as good of a mother as Mother Maiamai.
