It is wise to collect them strategically because, once a bag is obtained, the young hero cannot get it another time. Treasure Bags containing Experience points can only be obtained once each. For instance, it may be more efficient to wait until all of the Palaces have been completed, except the Great Palace, and then go to retrieve them all (Once Link's stats are maxed at level 8 in all three areas - strength, life and magic - the young hero can obtain a 1-Up for every 9000 Experience points gained). Therefore, it is best to plan wisely when obtaining them all.

Also, when Link does get one, it can no longer be obtained within that save file, even if the player quits and returns to the game. It is not possible to miss these permanently, with the exception of the one located in Three-Eye Rock Palace, for the reason written above. However, with both steps completed, the Palace becomes inaccessible, rendering Link unable to return to it to gain additional Experience or collect Treasure Bags. Therefore, if the young hero completes step 2, but not 1, he can still return to claim the Item.
