What does each item card do?

I just started playing adventure mode in Hyrule Warriors and I'm slightly confused on what each item does. For example I tried used a compass to find a hidden area and it was under a rock so I tired to use the bombs and nothing happened.

So what can each item card do and also do item cards respawn on the adventure map?

Solution 1:

The following is a list of cards available in Adventure Mode, along with a description of each:

Compass: Use this while searching to identify where an Item Card can be used

Candle: Use this on trees to uncover hidden stairways

Bomb: Use this on walls to uncover hidden caves

Ladder: Use this to move across a single space of water

Power Bracelet: Use this on heavy rocks and tombstones to uncover hidden stairways

Water Bomb: Use this on submerged rocks to destroy them

Digging Mitts: Use this on soft earth to uncover hidden stairways

Ice Arrow: Use this on circles of flame to uncover hidden stairways

Raft: Use this on piers to cross to the opposite shore

Hookshot: Use this on distant targets to pull yourself to them

Recorder: Use this on a small body of water to reveal secrets and enemies

Goddess Harp: Use it on Goddess Butterflies to make Gossip Stones appear

Note: Couldn't find exact images for all of them, but hopefully it helps show which item is which.

Edit: Click item names to see the loading screen description for that card along with in-game image.
