Deku-Seed Bag upgrades are a must in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, if you want to be able to beam your opponents from afar without worrying about running out of seeds. Not to be confused with the Deku-Nut Bag, which holds the nuts you can use to flash-stun enemies, the Deku-Seed Bag holds ammo for your Fairy Slingshot.
Below, we explain where to upgrade the Deku-Seed Bag in the Ocarina of Time remake.
All Deku-Seed Bag upgrade locations in Zelda Ocarina of Time
After you get the Fairy Slingshot inside the Great Deku Tree, your Deku-Seed Bag will be able to hold 30 Deku seeds. Each upgrade will increase your bag size by 10 seeds, to a total of 50 Deku seeds.
The first upgrade location you’ll likely run into is in the Lost Woods and the second upgrade can be found in Hyrule Castle Town, so you can unlock both of these pretty early on in your playthrough.
The Deku-Seed Bag upgrades can only be unlocked as young Link.
Deku-Seed Bag upgrade #1 location in Zelda Ocarina of Time
The first upgrade location you’ll run into is this little shooting range in the Lost Woods. From the Kokiri Forest entrance, head right, and you’ll see this target hanging up. (There’s also two Skull Kids down below who will give you a Piece of Heart if you play their game.)

Hit the target three times with your Fairy Slingshot and a Deku Scrub will upgrade your Deku-Seed Bag, free of charge. Nice!

Head to the shooting gallery, which is to the west of the Happy Mask Shop, and north of the Bombchu Bowling Alley. You can only go in here during the daytime, so sleep or play the Sun’s Song to change the time, if you need to.
You’ll need to pay 10 rupees per try, and in order to get the bag upgrade, you’ll need to hit all 10 targets. You’ll only have 15 seeds to try, but if you wipe out, the gallery owner will let you try again for free. The targets will always show up in the same places, so if you do fail, try to memorize where they show up.
Once you do beam all 10 targets, the owner will give you the bag upgrade.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is a little bit different than the original game, so if you need guides to help you through, we don’t blame you. We have walkthroughs for all the dungeons, from the Deku Tree to Ganondorf’s Castle. We also have guides for the sillier, in-between parts of the game, like when you have to find Richard (the dog) or Cuccos.
For those going for 100% completion, we also have guides on where to find every Piece of Heart, every Gold Skulltula token, and where to plant every Magic Bean.
