I don't really think Link needs to wield a battle-ax. Seriously? The Master Battle-Ax? That just doesn't see LOZ. I agree that they need to bring back old weapons. I think the magic powder from ALTTP was pretty cool. I'd like to see that in future games. As for a musical instrument....Why not a trumpet? The idea sounds kind of weird i know, but wouldn't it be more familiar with people? I think that might be pretty cool though.
