    "The Legend of Zelda" can sometimes feature items that are useless for anything other than taking up inventory space. For this list, we’ll be showcasing items that the series, and Link, could’ve done without. We’re only including items Link can actually use. Our list includes the Telescope from "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker" (2003), Bait from "The Legend of Zelda" (1987), the Golden Gauntlets from "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" (1998), and more! Which “Zelda” item do you find to be the most disappointing? Let us know in the comments!

    To be fair, those uses you mentioned while dismissing the shovel are *exactly* why it's vital. It helps you farm rupees, hearts and consumables SO much faster than if all you had was a few grass clumps and some enemies. Imho that makes it more if a time saver than a time waster, at least when farming is involved.

    I guess this would belong on a list of useless weapons but I would say the Magic Armor from Twlight Princess. It takes so much effort in getting this armor. You have to complete some quests then you have to collect rupees to donate to Malo and then you have to save up more rupees to purchase the armor. The armor runs by rupees, if you run out it becomes very heavy. You can't even ride Epona when the armor becomes heavy. Not worth getting unless you want to complete the game 100%.

    The Fake Ore Chunk from Seasons, however, is unironically useless and I'm glad we get rid if it upon reclaiming the Roc's Feather.

    So many people confusing the Giant's Knife in OoT with the Biggoron's Sword.
    Biggoron's Sword is NOT obtained by fixing the Broken Giant's Knife.
    Biggoron repairs the Broken Biggoron Sword which is obtained from the Carpenter in the trading quest. The Giant's Knife is completely unrelated to the trading quest and is mostly as useless as this video says.
    Although due to the powerstab glitch, as long as you don't hit anything with the Giant's Knife - you can do a jump slash with it, switch back to the Master Sword and then as long as you don't do any regular attacks with the Master Sword equipped your crouch stabs with it will do the damage of a Giant's Knife jump slash. So using glitches; sure it is useful. In normal gameplay though? The video is completely correct.

    The Mirror Shield from Minish Cap reminds me of the Gospel Ring from Dragon Quest 8.
    The Gospel Ring is an item that prevents monsters from engaging you while you wear it. Basically, it had the same effect as the Holy Water item. In order to get the ring, though, you would need to defeat all monster types in the game, including bosses and the ones that show up post game. By that time, your team would be too high in level to even need it, thus it turned out to only be a recreational item.

Plus it’s pretty much one of the best single bladed swords. Most that deal higher damage tend to break easily. Obviously a lot of two-handed weapons do more damage but you can’t use a shield with them and they’re slower. There are a lot of trade-offs.

    You forgot the Deku Nuts in Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.
    To MojoPlays, I want to let you know there's actually a useless item you forgot to go over. It's the Deku Nut, what it does is it stuns enemies for a few seconds and that's it. I never liked the Deku Nuts, and I usually don't use them in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask since I can use Deku Stick and Slingshot which is much more useful.
    Also, the bug in a bottle is useless in Majora's Mask. The Ice arrows in Ocarina of Time aren't required and is just for fun to attack enemies but not practical. I also hardly use Farore's Wind and I never bother with the Giants Knife.

    • @mellowords
      @mellowords หลายเดือนก่อน

      Deku nuts have several legit uses if you experiment.
      1) instantly kill/disarm deku merchants and scrubs (no shield required)
      2) check ground for holes (Well, Shadow Temple)
      3) look like Sheik/badass
      4) generally, quickly stunning enemies with a huge blast radius is handy.

    Your first entry, the sword in ocarina of time, is actually the best sword in the game. Way better than the master sword. You're just doing it wrong. You should never buy it from they goron underground. There's a quest chain you have to follow, the longest quest chain in the game, but it gets you an unbreakable version. Here's how to get it. If you already paid for the sword and have the broken hilt go straight to top of death mountain. Otherwise follow this to get the hilt the right way.
    You start(Adult link) by going to talk to cucco lady. She will give you a pocket cucco. Use that to wake up the sleeping rancher in the nearby house(daytime). Carry the cucco back to the lady. She will give you a blue one. Take that to lost wood. Upon entering, go left. Use blue cucco to wake him. He will give you a mushroom. Rush to kakariko village(timed quest) and go to potion shop neat gate to death mountain. Ignore the woman at the counter and go through door on side to come out behind building. Go into other building and give mushroom to old woman(witch?) She will give you a potion. Return to the man in lost woods. He's gone now. Talk to the korok there. She will take the potion and give you a saw. Take the saw to gurudo valley. Jump the bridge and give the saw to the head carpenter. He will give you the broken hilt. Now we have the hilt. Take that to death mountain and climb to the top. There you will meet a far, far larger goron. He is the creator of the sword, and the guy below is kinda an apprentice. He will take the hilt and give you a prescription. Take that to zoras domainand show it to the king. He will trade it for a frog. Then there's a timed run to the lake hylia to give the frog to the guy in the building. He will give you eyedrops and an even shorter time limit to get back to death mountain. Once you give the eye drops to the Goron he will give you a claim check. Use sun song to skip 3 days time. At the third rooster crow, talk to him again, and you'll get the completed, unbreakable sword. It has a massive reach, and bigger damage than master sword. Plus just looks cool.
    Honestly it's no surprise you thought it was useless. Most people don't even know about this even this long after the game was released. I ocassionly do 100% runs of the game just for fun and make sure I still know where everything is, so of course I do know it. Gotta know it to 100% the game. Currently I've been learning BOTW, but there's just so much to memorize lol, nothing like ,OoT. So I can't 100% it yet, at least not without following a TH-cam guide.

    I think I got more use out of Ilia's Charm than either the Dominion Rod OR the Spinner. I know each is very important within the dungeon you get them; you need them just to get around on the tracks of the Arbiter's Grounds, or through the doors of the Temple of Time, but apart from those, neither is particularly useful in the world, as a whole.
    I think one item for me was the Book of Mudora. They never explained why this ancient, sacred text is in certain places, or why this holy book of translations just happens to be there. When I was planning to run Zelda d20 Adventures, I actually intended to make it a magical spellbook, just to give it some more flair.
