#Top10 #Zelda #breathofthewild #nintendo - เกม
The beetle from Skyward Sword is my favorite. Was fun to fly around and explore the map. It was cute too.
The spinner from twilight princess is definitely my favorite. You give link a literal BEYBLADE and he lets it rip to not only fight but move around
It's almost useless outside of its own dungeon, but it's fun and cool enough to make it go near the top for me.
I haven’t played twilight princess yet (I have both the Wii & WiiU versions, just haven’t had the time) but the spinner is a neat weapon in hyrule warriors.
It's also slow and useless
@@Creepa99 its fun and gets you to new places.
I just wish that it could have started at a little bit of a higher speed, then the slowdown would at least be balanced and not just novel.
For me it’s the sand blower In Skyward. I could enjoy a spinoff where Link just cleand driveways of leafs or mops up dusty places with it. Especially the sand pits were fun -the scorpion boss that got in the way.
There was this one room in Skywards Sword which was full of sand and you just needed to clean a little bit. I did not leave until the whole room was clean. The longer you take, the more exasperated Fi gets and tells you (paraphrased): "Master, there _really_ isn't anything left in the room, please let go already"
The ball & chain becoming a Chain Chomp actually makes a TON of sense in the lore, because Link had a chain chomp in Link's Awakening!!!
Bow-Wow the best
Yeah most of the tier 3 Hyrule Warriors weapons were like that, fun game.
The beetle is definitely my favourite. Great for exploration, hugely changes up gameplay, an really fun to use.
The 3 main masks from MM are really amazing. Switching between different species gives you a very versatile move set and it's used constantly through out the game.
Honestly surprised this concept hasn't been copied all over the place. Hope to see more of this in the future.
Any item that has link play as another character is automatically good. Majora's Mask's masks, the animal flutes in the Oracle games, Midna, they add a new layer to the puzzle solving and exploration. Majora's Mask did it best, since the dungeons wrap around them, a bow-and-arrow upgrade, and typically a third item you find before entering the dungeon, for a really cool dynamic in the dungeons.
It was a cool gimmick at the time, but at the end of the day, having to go into your inventory, fiddle with menus, and watch a cutscene just to access a different part of your basic movement is more hassle than fun. It's better to just give the player that movement without unnecessary extra steps. So, I completely understand why games didn't copy it.
@@Celestia282 MM 3D actually mitigated this issue. If I recall correctly, it had the main 4 transformation masks mapped to a specific point in the menu, so you always had them at hand directly.
@@Celestia282 dude, thats just a UI issue.
The iron and hover boots had the same issue in OOT and were corrected later.
The MM Randomizer already fixed this issue in the original game by permanently mapping the masks and ocarina to the D pad, they also fixed a worse issue, the elegy song.
It would be really cool to play as a Goron or Zora again
@@Celestia282 That's a UI issue, not a mechanic issue.
As much as I enjoy the double clawshots the best hookshot-like item for me is the Phantom Hourglass grappling hook. All the normal function of a 2d hookshot (plus being able to aim any direction) BUT it can also be used between any 2 points to set up a tightrope you can walk across, OR use as a slingshot for Link to cross gaps, OR ricochet arrows off of. Just feels so useful and oh so fun
My personal favorite is the grappling hook from Phantom Hourglass. What is supposedly just a hook on a rope always tends to become a reality-bending weapon in Zelda games.
There is just something satisfying about connecting enemies together with the rope and watching annihilate like matter and antimatter, clearing out whole rooms without ever touching your sword.
Twilight Princess has one of the most fun item arsenals in the series, even if they hardly see use outside the dungeon you get them in.
Definitely. They spent too much time on the wolf link sections that I think a lot of stuff got neglected
I love TP, but I do wish these items had a bit more functionality after you get them. It was definitely the height of Zelda's one item per dungeon problem. Even the basic items like the boomerang take a backseat once you leave their dungeon.
@Olthar oh, I definitely agree. They're some of the most fun items, but only really in their dungeon. At least the spinner saw a few uses outside in some easy puzzles in the overworld and the Baller Chain was fun to use in combat, but the Dominion Rod was totally thrown to the side and unused after you find and fix the chicken cannon
Zelda has a lot of cool items like the gust jar, but I think my favorite is actually the switch hook in Oracle of Ages. It's just such a perfect idea and has so much potential. Really wish they'd bring it back!
The Ball and Chain works so well in Hyrule Warriors due to Link wearing the gauntlets, making the weight of the weapon no longer a problem for him.
This was such a genius move and a great addition to the roster and I love it so much!
It also allowed them to get a nice 2-for-1 reference.
@@Celestia282 Especially when you consider the objects you yeet with said gauntlets
My favorite version of the bomb arrow was from Twilight Princess. There's a relatively easy glitch that lets you get Infinite Bomb Arrows allowing you to go crazy with them.
Gale Boomerang giving a whirlwind effect. Ball and Chain being a giant ball of death AND can be used as a shield. Ancient Spinner being a literal beyblade and assist with jumping puzzles. Claw shot? DOUBLE claw shot?
Twilight Princess has the best items.
My addition has *got* to be the boomerang from phantom hourglass/spirit tracks. Using the touch screen to maneuver it as you see fit is just gorgeous
The bombchus as well 👌
Agreed and I loved using the stylus to control link / items in those games. I have no idea why ppl hated it so much!
@@Lexi-M they just hated it because it was different
@@linkheroofspiritsakatrains4812 Much like the motion control hate in Skyward Sword, it wasn't the best, but it wasn't as bad as people made it out to be 🤔
@@homerman76 exactly honestly I had several problems with the motion controls but they all disappeared when I got off my ass and did the broader motions
The Bombos medallion from Link To The Past I feel deserved a spot, walking on screen and essentially calling in an air strike to take out all the enemies was always so satisfying (if not a little op)
Nice list! But the most fun item for me would be the fishing rod, i was so sad when i learned i wasnt in breath of the wild... finger crossed for tears of the kingdom i need to fish haha
I don't know if it counts, but I've always had a soft spot for the Mirror Shield, specially the red ocarina of time one, looks so awesome
The Completionist giving Twilight Princess the love it deserves is so satisfying. TP has the best items in any game, King Jirard = 🐐
Classic style video, brings comfort to watch. Thanks Jirard and crew!
Nice list, the ones you mention from TP get a lot of mockery but I loved how refreshingly different they felt and I used your-higher ranked one outside the dungeon in combat a lot. I also love how bomb arrows were kind of a bug/secret in the earliest Game Boy Zelda but got actual legitimate status later.
The magic boomerang in A Link To The Past is a lot of fun to control around the screen when you throw it.
Never found out about bomb arrows in Link's Awakening until years later, but I remember spamming bomb arrows in Twilight Princess as much as possible because why not...they're tons of fun
I remember the IGN review of Twilight Princess hinted at an item you could ride. I immediately thought "...like a top???" and was THRILLED with how the spinner turned out. So glad to see it on the list!
Goran/ Zoran masks pretty fun. Also in more recent is the portrait bracket in “link between worlds”, just like roc feather/cape, it opened up more possibilities and puzzle mechanics.
I like the great fairy sword in majora’s mask. It’s used in an item slot rather than your preset sword slot so you basically are almost dual wielding.
Great Fairy Sword takes two hands, so you can't dual-wield unfortunately.
The grappling hook lets you steal from and stun enemies, while also having many other overworld uses, from slingshotting yourself, tight rope walking, the basic swinging, and getting treasure in the ocean. Be it Wind Waker or PH, it's the best item in the game, although PH's Hammer is also the best Hammer by a long shot and worth mentioning too.
Excellent choice of a topic for a video. Love to see stuff like this, keep up the good work!
Never. Never ever. Never in my entire life did I think someone could have the Ball & Chain as their favourite Zelda item. Life is full of surprises.
Nice list bro. Some of my favorites include the Gale Boomerang from Twilight Princess, the Hookshot, Silver and Golden Gauntlets and Hover Boots from Ocarina of Time and the Claw Shot from Twilight Princess especially the Double Claw Shot. Oh and Din’s Fire and Nayru’s Love are really good too
Spinner and ball and chain sit high on my favorites list, so Twilight Princess became my favorite Zelda game.
That being said, what a fun top ten!
Gosh I loved the Double Clawshot. It was fun and cool to grapple about like steampunk spider-man, and if I remember correctly it was the only “weapon” in TP that worked while swimming. Which made me feel safer in the water sections that I could at least do a little damage in the water without having to wear the iron boots. Great item.
Personally, the wallet is my favorite item. Now I can hold 1000 small gems around my waist.
Whenever I play Wind Waker, I _love_ using the Rito grappling hook specifically for stealing Joy Pendants, rupees, magic jars, and other little things from monsters before killing them. It made the Joy Pendant quest waaaaay easier.
Thanks for repping the Spinner, Double Clawshot, and Ball ‘n Chain. Twilight Princess isn’t my fave Zelda game of all time, but I DID love those items. The Stal Lord fight lives rent-free in my head until this day.
The DS boomer rang is so fun but that deku leaf is definitely OP. Love it!
Ball and Chain is a TOP tier pick. Great video as always
The heros bow will always have a place in my heart.
I've always been rather lukewarm towards the bow. It's hard to aim in the 2D games because of how quickly enemies move around, and the sword combat in the 3D games is solid enough that the bow is only needed for flying enemies. I hardly use it outside of puzzles.
That said, BotW changed the formula enough that the bow is godly in that game. It's so useful for combat.
Came to make sure the spinner and the ball and chain were on this list. I would have added the beetle from Skyward Sword because it is pretty unique
This video reminded me it's been a while since I last played a Zelda game, I seriously want to go back and revisit them soon.
Twilight Princess had so many items that weren't particularly useful but were so fun regardless. Even if you didn't use the beyblade much outside arbiter's grounds or the ball and chain outside the mansion, you enjoyed every second
Personally, the wooden stick is the absolute goat 💪😤
OP in n64 games!!
It might be a bit of bias on my part, but I honestly prefer the Sheikah Slate. With something that lets you cross rivers with a build-it-yourself bridge, stop objects and enemies in their tracks, use any metal object as a weapon, or even just making a limitless supply of bombs, the only limit I see to the Sheikah Slate before the Ultrahand is your imagination. Even better is how it got integrated into Age of Calamity. Is a boss-level enemy readying a powerful attack? Just use the right rune at the right time to leave them wide open to attack for game.
I LOVE the ball and chain
Love the Twilight Princess representation on this list!
I love the spinner so much. The only drawback was how little use it actually got. It's a bit reason too why the Desert Prison is possibly my all time favorite Zelda dungeon.
Love your channel!
You know, I can live with the Hook-/Clawshot/Grappling Hook being 2nd place. Ball and Chain was pretty nice and I did expect an item fulfilling all those categories you set up earlier as you said.
I love how creative the ball and chain is in Hyrule warriors, take a weapon known for being slow and heavy and then combine it with the gauntlets, used to lift heavy objects and boom, now you have link swinging it like nothing and pulling some sick combos
My favorite is the magic rod/fire rod, it's just a lot of fun burning everything down.
I enjoy your Top 10's just as much as the main content.
As an oldie that really loves my 2D Zelda....the flute is AWESOME!!! Wish I could do errands with a quick tune, duck picks me up and we head off to the grocery store. Much like Link does going to the magic shop!
We need the spinner to make a comeback, its so good. Imagine getting one in TotK with spinner devices/rails or even being able to use it to scale cliffs and glide across sand without a timer. Twilight Princess was such a good game for items, glad it was my first Zelda and the spinner and ball+chain got to be in Hyrule Warriors.
"The bomb arrows have no weakness"
Me pulling out a bomb arrow on Death Mountain: Are you sure about that?
I definitely agree with the Ball & Chain, but one item that I love in every zelda game it's in and wasn't mentioned (and better than the Bomb Arrows in my opinion) is the Ice Arrow. Once an enemy is frozen, the next attack is doubled. I used to destroy Stalfos in Ocarina of Time with it and now in Breath of the Wild I can use two handed weapons to their fullest and destroy the toughest varients and even the Gardian Scout mini bosses. So long as it's not a boss, it is a life saver and the best to do max damage on one opponent in one hit.
On a similar note, I also loved Deku Sticks.
My favorite items are essentially the Roc’s Feather, the double claw shot and the whip from SS. I was actually sad it wasn’t used much more in the game, and I wouldn’t mind a revisit of the mechanic. It felt like a more utilizable grapple hook from WW
Bow-Wow is truly the greatest weapon in the Zelda series.
I gotta give a shout out to the Swift Sail. That thing is a total game changer in WWHD
The Boomerang (especially in 3D games), the Hookshot, and the Fire Rod are my favorite staple Zelda weapons. The Hookshot especially is so goddamn useful, that any game without a hookshot feels lesser.
I’d argue the boomerang is better in the ds games than in any 3d game because you could specifically draw a path for it
I personally really like the Hammer in Phantom Hourglass, but it feels to powerful. Recently almost finished replaying Spirit Tracks, and I really like the Whip. Its got balance, and is extremely versatile, as the hammer felt like an op basic attack. You can steal things like armor and shields from opponents and the whip also is still able to do some damage
When I was a kid, the hookshot in Oot felt like magic
Honestly thought I was clicking on a PeanutButterGamer video 😂😂
I liked the whip from Spirit Tracks a lot actually. That game didn't do a lot of things right, but at the very least the whip was a lot of fun. It was one of the few times that I enjoyed touch controls. It isn't like, my top favorite item, but definitely a noteworthy one.
One of my favs is the bomb arrow! Also the hook shot.
I adore the gale boomerang, not only for the use of it, but because it has a canonical reason for being able to change direction on a dime without links intervention, being a vessel for a wind fairy
Damn, you just reminded me of that awesome special Link has in Hyrule Warriors where he slams the ball into the ground and effectively spins the world around him. Fun times.
I love doing that!
My 2 favorites were bomb arrows and the ball n' chain. The former because it has the power of bombs, but fixed it's main issues (range, precision, applicability) as a weapon. Also, they were just fun, being able to use the closest equivalent to a rocket launcher in a zelda game. Only thing we were missing in TP was rocket jumping and using it with a deku leaf equivalent. Oh well, BotW has us covered on that end.
The ball and chain I like because it's the opposite of the bomb arrows. Unwieldly, impractical, slow. But I remember in the short time I played A Link to the Past, I fricken hated the ball and chain enemy that was guarding Zelda, and it just felt so good to be one of those assholes to all of my enemies. It may not have been an effective weapon for the most part, but just like the bomb arrows, it was a fun one!
The series has so many cool items and I love how much they stand out! Though one item that I understand that could be argued being the best is the bottle. For it's utility, progression in some side quest and main quest, not to mention holding a fairy/potion/soup for healing.
Thank you for making this one!!
I am a simple man. My favorite item is the Master Sword. Loved it after my first play through of Link to the Past. My first and only Zelda game I ever played.
Love this video! Love this list!
The flute in the first Zelda it was one of the first fast travel and was nice to wrap around
Really appreciate the Twilight Princess love in this list!
Blew my mind with the ball and chain. That is my absolute favorite too.
My two favorites are the Magic Boomerang and the Clawshot.
The double clawshot has always been one of my favorites, I like the hookshot a lot in general, but the double clawshot is just quite literally double the fun
Thanks for sharing this!
the Cane of Pacci makes me flip for joy
It's so fun to see items that I found kind of lackluster/underutilized got new life breathed into them in the Hyrule Warriors games. Your list is very different than mine, but nothing but respect!
The bunny hood is also one of my favorites, I like your line up
Ocarina is too iconic for me personally, funnest fierce deity mask
the fierce deity mask was super fun and a great reward for getting all the masks.
Which ocarina tho
@@linkheroofspiritsakatrains4812 that's the real question. I guess time because it's in Majora's mask too.
@@Rough_Estimates but the ocarina in mm is the same one in oot but there’s also the fairy ocarina from oot as well as the ocarina of wind from Minish cap all I’m saying is I don’t know which one you are referring to when you just say the ocarina even though it’s probably the one of time
ty, such a well done video! 🙏
Lots of fun items on this list! Excellent choices.
This was fun, and I do like you! I’d be definitely into a top ten of the fused items after Tears of the Kingdom’s been out for a bit.
My favorite item has got to be the Magnetic Gloves from Oracle of Seasons. Its your hookshot equivalent, but done in an unique never-seen-before way. A very neat surprise and one of the reasons why OoS is my favorite 2D Zelda.
I think the Hook Beetle from Skyward Sword is my favorite. Air superiority baby.
Ball and chain as your #1? MY MAN, HELLZ YEAH LET'S GO!
I liked the bomb arrow in link’s awakening most because it wasn’t obvious, that they’ve been in the game anyway.
So glad you mentioned the Hyrule Warriors Chain Chomp.
but you didn't mention that the double clawshot and navigation puzzles with it are basically "what if link was also spider-man?"
i think the bow and the boomerang deserve a place in the list as well!
The hammer from phantom hourglass is so good, mainly because you can obliterate anything on screen
Yaaaas Ball & Chain love! As soon as I got that in Twilight Princess I made sure it was always equipped. Inefficient? Yes. But I also enjoy smacking things around with solid metal.
Ohh yeah... love this video. Woo, be amazing if the whole Completionist Crew got into movie making.
yay!! ya just made my night!!
I was sure the Magnetic Gloves from Oracle of Seasons would appear on the list. Unique, fun item that they never brought back. It might be my fav Zelda item of all.
May not be in order, but here's at least some:
1. The guardian abilities (they may not be items per se, but still).
2. Glider/Leaf.
3. Guardian arrows, since they delete most enemies.
4. Hook Shot.
5. The Gorudo Heirloom that makes you immune to lightning.
Combine #5 with metal weapons during a storm, and your a weaponized human lightning rod. Badass! 👍🏻
The long shot and the boomerang...
Jirard: "I like me."
Knowing how much you subject yourself to for some games, ya could have fooled me.
Great list, my prrsobal favorite item is the gale boomerang from tp just because how broken it is
Something I've been wanting since Hyrule Warriors is a time-travel mashup. A future Link goes back to classic games, but each one has something wrong, like some irregularity that those who played the game will freak out over. "Why is there a deku stick where Fi is supposed to be? What is Tingle doing in ? WHERE IS THE OLD MAN?" It would have lore added to solidify the Zelda timeline/branches.
Also, 2:55. Bomb arrows existed in Link's Awakening, you just needed to have bombs and arrows, and push both A and B at the same time.
I'm gonna have to go with something maybe a little mundane but I'd say Ice Arrows! Only, I'm not sure if I'd prefer Majora's Mask's iteration or Wind Waker's. Majora's Mask has the puzzle and utility elements down pat (frozen platforms and freezing certain enemies to allow extra traversal methods) while Wind Waker-and Breath of the Wild but to a lesser extent of satisfaction and fun-has great combat applications (it's very satisfying to see the Mothula miniboss be frozen and plummet to the ground only to shatter on impact and be defeated not to mention freezing other enemies and letting them fall, be thrown, or whacking them with the hammer to shatter them as well!).
I definitely wish they bring back the elemental arrows for a more traditional Zelda game one day and combine the ideas the Ice Arrows introduced in Majora's Mask and Wind Waker while iterating them with other ideas... Like combining elemental arrows! Fire and Ice arrows to create a smokescreen out of mist! That'd be fun!
The beetle from Skyward Sword was the perfect combination of useful and fun to use. Plus, the Gustbellows never gets the love it deserves- Nintendo got a weird amount of practicality out of a magical reverse-hoover
