You find and are awarded items all along the game. Often you can drive yourself crazy trying to track down an item that you actually can't get for many hours. Here are all the items you will find along with where they are, so you learn to be patient and just wait until you get to that point :) Remember, this game is about exploring your landscapes and going slowly. Don't "race to get somewhere". If you do, you'll miss out on the current area you are working through.
