Your ideas for new items in Zelda

a hook shot like the thing in dig dug that once in the enemy, inflates them until they explode

I HAVE A FEW...
Speed tunic - Make's you run very fast
Invisible tunic - Make's you turn invisible
Double arrows - Let's you shoot 10 arrows at once

I would like to see spells return. Like one spell would summon a blackhole, which would suck up all the enemys in the room, or it could remove obstacles, like a giant block that is blocking a door.

Let's see Link use hand-to-hand combat! THAT would be new.

And awesome, at that. But the enemies in the Zelda series don't seem punchable. Why don't you go punch a Darknut and tell me how that turns out?

in OoX you could get a ring that let you punch the enemies, but it was a pretty sucky ring and whenever i used it i would die alot. Anyway a cool Item would be kinda like an expansion to the hover boots except it let's you walk on water. Spells would be pretty cool. Maybe Dark arrows or somethin' they instead of taking magic power take 1 heart every time you use it but it deals a ton of damage. A shield that when an enemy hits it it makes them be frozen in time for like two seconds. I can think of a bunch of interesting boss fights with those items.

The only thing is, with an ability that powerful, it would have to have high-risk consequences. Like the Poes in OoT that you would really only use if you were desperate, because either they killed you or saved you. xD

So the black hole item would need to have some drawbacks, preventing an all-powerful assault against all enemies. XD

Also, my brother and I were talking about this yesterday. We were thinking actually utilizing the medallions, instead of having them be useless items. XD PH used something like it, but I was thinking that the Fire Medallion lets you have a flaming sword, or the Forest Medallion causes some floral damage to the enemies...something along those lines.

That way, Rauru wouldn't be lying when he said, "The sages add their power to yours!" xD

Yeah like the forest medallion would cause the enemy you are locked on to entrapped by vines and thorns or somethin'. I have no clue what water medallion would do. Shadow would let you temporarily become invisible. Spirit would let you shoot beams from your sword when you are at full health. And Light would heal you or something. That would be really cool.

I'm thinking:

Forest: Either an obvious vine constraint or something like a tiny seed getting under the armor of the enemy and exploding into a flowery display that does some damage.

Fire: Maybe it could allow you to summon smaller chunks of rock from Death Mountain? Or maybe something like a more powerful Din's Fire?

Water: I'm thinking a water-whip, or something like that.

Shadow: For some reason, I keep thinking about the Gravity attack from KH. Invisibility would be nice, or maybe allowing you to travel through shadows, like across a wall over a gap or something.

Spirit: Maybe something like a giant ball of sand that surrounds the enemy and condenses, crushing them? There was something like it in Naruto, I swear (Sand Coffin or something), but I'm not a huge Naruto fan. The beams from the sword could work, as well.

Light: I think healing would work, yeah. Or maybe something like a giant Deku Nut--something that paralyzes and blinds your enemies for a little bit while your health recovers.

There goes five minutes of my life. XD

-Broken Butterfly.

a magic staff that lets you move stuff around like in Elebits...

or:

Slime Arm: a glob of slime that goes on your hand. It works like a Hookshot and a Grappling Hook. You can also grab enemies and toss them around like a ragdoll...(same as the staff) temporarily...you could also hook onto something and stick the slime to a nearby object so you can slip on the slime towards the hooked area...or you can just toss the slime at something to slow it down alot...

Trishot - basically the hookshot weapon with three different configurations. First there is the hook, which basically can work on wooden and wedged surfaces. Then there is the claw, which latches on to grates and retrieves items. Then there is the grapple, which works on bars and handles and can act as a swing device.

I like this idea. The mechanic of switching between the configurations would have to be well thought-out, though, so it wouldn't be clunky.

I figure that you start out with hook configuration, but it's upgraded later on so that you can shift configurations like the arrows in WW. Essentially the "hook" is composed of three separate digits that shift to form claw and talon positions for for the claw and grapple configurations respectively.

Another item idea I have is Link being able to use enemy weapons in place of his sword. Kind of like in TWW except he has a lot more combo options than a generic B swing. These weapons can give him a distinct advantage in combat against certain enemies, but these weapons have a limit to their use after a time.

well this wouldn't be a new item BUT a new concept for using an item. The Hero's Bow is my favorite weapon in Link's arsenal why not be able to shoot two arrows at the same time. Double the damage and the sweeter the victory

alright this isnt realy an item eather but imagin link but in wopping great armout ( gold and black would look cool ) thike the dark nut mini boss in the temple of time in tp , a huge shield and a comicly overszed sword like the ones that u can pick up in ww, wouldnt that be realy realy cool

Okay, so link attaches knives to the ends of the hero's bow, and hits people with it. so he goes shoot.. stab... shoot... stab.
