"Important Item Acquired"[1] is a musical jingle composed by Koji Kondo for The Legend of Zelda, where it plays upon obtaining new inventory items and equipment. In addition to being arranged for its recurring appearances in the The Legend of Zelda series, the jingle makes several appearances in the Super Mario franchise during crossovers with The Legend of Zelda. Several arrangements of the jingle from the The Legend of Zelda series, including "Master Sword" from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, also appear as part of these crossovers.
