8 Best The Legend of Zelda Weapons

Best weapons from very select Legend of Zeldas. I mean, it feels like two spaces are wasted on the Hookshot and Bow, those are pretty bog standard items. I always thought the Magnet Mitts were a neat alternative to the Hookshot in Oracle of Seasons. In fact, the Wand of Seasons is a pretty legit item too! The Diggin' Mitts were pretty rad too. The Deku Leaf was rad, or the Indiana Jones style grappling hook! And what about the Ocarina of Time?
And technically Biggoron's Sword isn't an item, it's an equippable weapon. The Rose Sword is an item

The level of excitement Lizzy had for the Fierce Deity Mask made reading the whole article worth while. Mainly because that was the same level of excitement I had when I first put on the mask myself.
I'm pretty sure I still squeal with joy when I play Majoras Mask and turn into that badass, God of a character.

The correct answers are Roc's feather/Cape, (Almost every good Zelda game) the Boomerang, (Pretty much every Zelda ever) the Gust Jar (Minish Cap) and the Wrecking Ball (Twilight Princess)
Not a single one was on this blatantly incorrect list.

I remember that biggoron sword quest, i also remember never quite remembering how to do it and getting slightly irritated at the timed runs across the map. I also also remember feeling badass multiple times using din's fire, assuming it will act like my own personal hyrule nuke, but feeling underwhelmed when all it did was set fire to the surrounding enemies. Disappointing Din.
No spinner disc whatevery thing from twilight princess? Or big ball on chain? Le shames! A letter of polite complaint has been sent on my trusted owl-steed for which you may muse over in the potion shop at a less perilous moment.

Fierce Diety is basically just the "cheater's mask". congratulations, you can't defeat a boss without a massive handicap, wow you really suck at this game! Yeah, the Biggoron's sword is considerably better then Master Sword/Shield, but you sacrifice blocking, you semi-frequently need to switch for puzzles/bosses, it's not ideal in every scenario, and it isn't just a "Mask of press B 10 or so times to save Termina."
A MUCH better designed (and more accessible) mask is the Zora mask, which turned 3D zelda underwater segments from "ugh press start down down right iron boots equip start" into "IM A FISSSSSSSH, IM A FISSSSSSSH, SHIELD OF MAGICCCCCC, I'M A FISSSSSSSSSSSSH!"
And you commented that the Hero's Bow was underwhelming by itself... WHAT? In LTTP it's a goddamn powerhouse, allowing you to hit monsters (especially bosses) quickly and accurately without needing to trudge up to melee range. You also failed to mention that it's essentially an item archetype, as the Seed Shooter from the GBC games fills in the role seamlessly.
Actually, I'd like to see a return of the Seed Shooter, or at least it's bouncing capabilities that allow you to win a battle to the death by playing virtual billiards. Damn that Shooter was awesome. BETTER then the bow, in terms of how fun it is to use.
The Water Bombs were really just gimmicks, would've been much better if the bomb shop just upgraded your bombs to work underwater.
Din's fire... clunky. Radius hard to determine, usage so infrequent you'd never keep it on a C button, just pull it out for a situation then switch back to Deku Nuts or Sticks or anything, really, so you don't drain your precious magic meter by mistake. The Deku Nuts/Sticks were powerful but limited (ie: VS a dinos/stalfos, after their attack, throw a nut, take out a stick, then jump attack-4x damage as simply stabbing them) Din's Fire is really only useful for attacking with fire.
Oh yeah, did I mention you can kill Gohma (first OOT boss) by knocking her down from the ceiling only once? you need like 3-4 deku sticks, and after stunning her, >equip stick>jump attack>repeat.
The skull hammer is awesome, yes. But the Ball&Chain is bigger&better, and is realistically usable in combat against most enemies, since the slow speed is compensated with the reach and the beautiful pull-back, allowing you to effectively 1-shot redeads with it.
also, Boomerang>Switchook(from the Oracle games, if the object is movable, the user and target switch locations.)>hookshot. Okay, the Hookshot is still really damn cool, especially moving around with the double-hookshots in the Sky City.
Still. in conclusion, your taste is objectively bad, your opinions are wrong and mine are right. The domino effect of my superior tastes has knocked down your house of cards into a long, long chute back to square one. Checkmate.
Din-Damnit I spent like 30 minutes writing all this. maybe 45. I need help. wires with electricity straight to the brain please, bzzzzzzzzzzzz
