First, If you watch the trailers (go to the TP hype thread to watch them) you see alot; including bomb arrows. Second, has there ever been a 3D zelda game without light arrows that includes gannon? Third, when IGN or some other gaming source asked, "Will Midna exist outside the twilight?" Eji said, "Yes, if you go with the strictest definition of exist then yes, she can exist in normal Hyrule. But there is a certain kind of subtlety to that which I can't reveal at this point in time." This pretty much convinces me that the master sword is in the game. And I've seen an official, scanned screenshot of the mastersword sheath on link's back, and a purple hilt in his hand. And Finaly, in an egm magazine, Eji said there will be a day/night system, and he said, "...we don't want to have a system where the player can't do anything until a particular time of day arrives and the player has to wait around--that's not good game design. So in that sense, you have some mechanism for control. And we have been looking at different ways to do that, and we have a plan for how we're going to do that in the game."

Sorry about the double post but I only mentioned the most general combat items, I'm no including side items. things like the megaton hammer and bottles and picto boxes and masks I left out because they might be required only for heart containers, not neccesarily to win the game.
