Your ideas for new items in Zelda

[ZFG]

Items are one of the most important aspects of zelda, and we always like new, cool items.

I would like more item combos. I would love to combine the hookshot and the bow to make a zipline like thing. And maybe instead of getting fire and ice arrows, you could get fire and ice magic and use it with another item. Flaming boomerang! And maybe even equip it with your sword!

So what ideas do you have for new items?

[Goronlove7]

A medieval chain saw were you twist a crank thing moving gears that spins a blade and wa-la a medieval chain saw.

[rayburn]

how a bout rapid firering arows or majic stones that you throw around an opponent to form a shape then every enemy with in the perimeter of the shape gets obliderated!! muwah ha ha!

[Goronlove7]

or or Wooden boots to allow you to walk on water.

[linksmolecules]

How about a whip?

[Goronlove7]

How about a whip?

I was thinking that but nintendo could do better than an already invented item then again a whip could replace the hookshot. And another cool thing is it would be like Indiana Jones feel to it I did always hope in a zelda game link could try to find an artifact while running through booby traps.lol

[Chozo Ridley]

what about a magic rod that shoots a bolt of thunder that turns enemies into blobs, like the quake medalion in LttP.

And a pocket cukoo that you can use to glide through the air with when you walk off cliffs.

Or maybe a cukoo attack song that you can play on your instrument to summon a swarm of cukoos to attack your enemies.

Ooo and maybe a superbomb that works like the powder keg did in MM

And a poe's lantern that either makes you invisible or lets you see invisible things

I would also like them to bring back items that worked like the masks in MM; deku, goron, zora, and new ones like rito, gerudo, shiekah, twili, and more.

I have always wanted a ball and chain weapon in a 2d zelda.

I cant think of any more right now

[Axiomist]

Beamos Tunic- Black tunic with a red laser that spins around Link's body and fires at enemies it sees.

Spiked Shield-hurts enemies it blocks.

sunglasses that do different things, like the hawkeye and lens of truth.

[The Great Panda]

A brick. Seriously, there are so many things you can do with it, such as pressing switches or luring unsuspecting enemies into traps.

I like the zipline idea

[Coolface]

I would like to see a complete inventory of items that you can just find in game. New armor, gloves, helms, boots, sheilds, swords, tunics, etc. All raising and lowering certain stats. Like a helm may boost your defense but lower speed, or something. A bigger sword could boost attack but lower strike speed, smaller shields would boost speed but lower defense. IDK, things like that. Also adds for the introduction of rare items which would be a big attraction (hunting for rare items, weapons, then trading them online perhaps..)

Im not sure about how I feel about that. In some games, like the hack series, or final fantasy, I love that your able to do stuff like that. But I really don't think it would work well with zelda. Most of the items in zelda are traditional stuff he's (link) has had for a long time, or got a little more recently in the series. Of course new items are always a good thing, but not to many of them. Like the spinner and ball and chain in TP, at the most maybe 3 or 4 new items a game would satisfy most fans I imagine. But adding so many different shields and what not might not go over as well. I do like the idea of giving Link different hats/helms. Though that to might not play out well, but I still like the idea

[Coolface]

I just think a little more personalization and character customization are needed. Maybe just some kind of unlockable that lets us decorate the tunic with colors or paterns that we want, or something.

Dress up link.

[sage_of_fire]

THat would make a good minigame maybe. But not anything "in game" permanent

[CurryMonster]

Lightning arrows. Very effective against armoured and water-based enemies. Just don't use them while standing in water.

All of those are not imba at all. Why not make a tunic that kills everything within 100000000 range?

[Xeves]

If you all dont mind i think id like to use these ideas to add on to my plot idea for a zelda game, read on it Idea for the next Zelda game i just made up, your thoughts?

[twilight09]

Lightning Arrows sound a really good idea. Imagine if you get an enemy in a small amount of water thats just lying around, like there are puddles in Hyrule Field in TP, in Eldin Province, and you shot a lightning arrow at the water, and it killed the enemy(ies) in it. Also, I think for costumes, Link should have his traditional tunic(s), but with armour in them as well, Zelda's clothing in Twilight Princess is good, shes got her dress but also some gold armour on as well. Or maybe even wearing full armour, that doesnt stop you from running fast, chain mail or something.

[Zayan]

ELECTRICAL HOOKSHOT

[nikita]

I was thinkin maybe a neckalace or a braclet that Link can wear 2 make all kinds of combos out of old & new items. I was just makin up some ideas.

[Coolface]

Spears, or better yet, a glaive of some sort would be awesome!



I also wish that the quiver of arrows was visible on links back along with the sword and shield. Maybe move the sword from his back to his side to compensate for the amount of items on his back.

[Monster99d]

I have a list of stuff here.

God Sword: The god sword harrnesses the power of the 3 gods, plus the 6 sages. Once fully powered. You can defeat gannon in 3 hits. (After you beat the game you can get it)

Tunic of Light: You are invinsible in light. If you are in a shadow, an enemy will damage you x2. (After you beat the game you can get it)

Chain of Din: A ignighted chain alowing you to do x3 the damage to the enemies. You get in in the second last dungen.

[ironwar23]

i was thinking of powder keg arrows but that would be a little strange...

[Ritogirl]

How about a magnet? Like iot could cause Link to go off to a metal target like the hookshot or it could attract far off metal object. Or you could do the reverse Iron boots and alow Link to use it to hang on to the celing. And the dungeon boss could be personified lightnign that will be disrupeted by the magnetic feild.

[The Great Panda]

Solisth Armor: A set of armor made from the thick fur and hides of a plethora of hardy animals such as bears, wolves, etc. While wearing it, you can survive incredibly low temperatures, damage from most weapons is halved, and cold-based attacks are practically useless. However, due to its insulating nature, wearing it in hot areas causes you to overheat four times as quickly. At the same time, heat-based attacks are incredibly damaging.

Volvagian Armor: A set of armor made from the scales of the Volvagia, a race of powerful dragon-lizards that prey on Dodongos and thrive in the depths of volcanic craters. The armor operates by drawing heat away from the body and expelling it. While wearing it, you are able to withstand even the most intense volcanic heat, and are resistant to all heat based attacks. You can also walk around freely in shallow pools of lava while sustaining minimal damage. However, while wearing it, you will perish in intense cold four times as fast as normal, and are vulnerable to cold-based attacks.

[Oni_Deity]

Mace- A heavy weapon for large battles. Attacks slow.
Ice Armor- Weild the power of ice, withstand all coldness, but beware of fire. Shoot icicles out of your ice sword.
New Goron Armor- Fire and magma and your command. Burn you enemies into nothing but ash and soot. Beware of water. Shoot fireballs out of your fire sword.
New Zora Armor- the usual breathe under water...but what happens when water comes at your command? Water power: Drown them to nothing. Shoot water balls out of your water sword.
Earth Armor- Be one with stone and plants, crush all things in your path, blast rocks out of your stone sword...Beware of fire as well.
Ice/Water/Fire/Earth/Light Sword Design your sword and set it to whatever element. Earn them...once light is yours, you're nearly unstoppable.
Ice/Earth Arrows- Earth Arrows move slow and can't go far. But very powerful.
Ice freezes enemies.

Why don't we give Link a halo and nails through the hands too? Jesus Link would be an awesome playable character.

[Asmodea]

I would have to say a lance of some kind. Jousting!

Grecian Tunic: A tunic/armor that allows the character to use the powers of the Greek Gods. Example: Throw thunderbolts like Zeus, or zip around quickly as if you were wearing Hermes's winged anklets. The armor would be a white or cream color, and would be more drapey than his traditional clothing. Like the Magic Armor, it can only be used for a short amount of time, and when the time is up it restricts movement or something.

[The Great Panda]

Shrouded Armor: A jet black suit of light armor intended for to be used by assassins and thieves. Though it doesn't absorb any magic, the armor is in itself slightly magical, and makes you invisible to all but the strongest enemies.

Zorian Armor: A special suit of armor made from the scales of the Zorian Fish, along with other sea objects. (For instance, the armor has uniquely shaped shells for pauldrons.) As expected, it allows you to breathe and swim as well as a Zorians themselves (similar to the Zora Mask from MM
