The Official Ideas for Future Weapons Thread

I think that you should be able to summon enemies to help you in battle.

How about spears that he can stick into walls, and use to climb them! Like the bad kitty does in kung-fu panda. You could hurl them like javelins with the Wiimote, and once they stick into the wall, you can jump, grab onto one and fling yourself up like Prince of Persia. That's my idea!

Link should have a whip in the next game. Think about how awesome that would be. Not only could you whip enemies to death, you could use it to latch on to things and use it as a swing, kinda like the grappling hook I guess.

That will work as long as they dont make Link get a girlfriend.

This one really isint a weapon, more like equipment.

The Sheikah Garb

This slightly tight fitting stealth suit with all the bells and whistles of traditional Sheikah armour (bandage type things like on Sheik, metal, and the obligatory Sheikah symbol) allows link to run faster, dodge quicker and better, and even become "invisible" to enemies ( a la stone mask) when in shadow. Also, it allows Link to jump with a button command! It also provides him with assorted weaponless attacks. All of these awesome features come at the cost of some defensive power and maybe the loss of using a shield.

This suit would not be mandatory to the quest. It would be obtained by talking to Link's father, a former Sheikah archer for the Royal Family, and playing through mini missions as him through "stories." After completing 10 or so missions he would say that he is glad that Link seems more interested in his Sheikah heritage than his Hylian roots (promoted through his Uncle's sword lessons) and give him this suit.

Posting this over here too.

Link would look badass in armor, these are just some ideas though.

It can look just as good as the green costume and protect him 30x as much. I've got a couple of designs here.

I like this armor it really looks good from all angles, protects alot of the body, and it would be easy as hell to incorporate the traditional Link Uniform colours because of all the cloth. Besides looks great when the wearer is in action as you can see in pics 2 and 3.

Design 2
Frontal Shot

Well only got one shot on this one. It protects more flesh but has more parts and doesn't look quite as good when the wearer is on the move. But just look at that one pic. It looks awesome when you get the right pose. Imagine Link just having slayed some boss and puts his boot on said enemies head and scoops whatever woman he just helped in his arms. He'd look incredibly badass.

Yeah this one has a sort of new age feel to it that I like. Where as I feel 2 would look awesome after battle this would look nice just as he's about to fight some beast or whatever. Covers even more area than the last 2 and again just looks nice with the symbols on the armor. Link could make it work.

So yeah.

I aggree that new arrows would be cool. Here are a few things I have come up with:

Shadow Arrows: Can be used to turn walls into shadows when needed, also can be used to drop through the ground (would be used to get to the boss). These also can shoot through walls and trees, useful for taking out unarmored enemies who are hiding.

Spirit Arrows: Can be used to turn enemies into spirits for a short time, thus making you invincible to them, and when you use Light Arrows (see below) on these spirits, it does massive damage (like 3 Master sword hits).

Light Arrows: can be used against any spirit or shadow enemy for massive damage, they will leave a beacon, usefull in dark rooms in shadow temples, or at night.

Fire Arrows: Basically like normal fire arrows, but on impact it is simmalar to Din's Fire in OoT

Forest Arrows: Grows vines in a large circle if you need to climb to a ledge just out of reach or hookshot onto a ledge across a large gap.

Water Arrows: Douses any fire enemy, and can be used underwater.

Ice Arrows: Makes a solid surface on any body of water, blocks entrances, which can be melted by fire arrows. Also does good dammage on water enemies.

Electric Arrows: Travel very quickly. Does good damage to water enemies, and can be used like the dominion rod on any metal object.

Sniper Arrows: Come with a scope for your bow and are very slender, aerodynamic, and accurate. Basically used to pick off weak to moderate enemies from extremely long distances. can be paired with electric arrows to make them move faster.

Mc rowdy, sorry but your designs stink. Since when is link 20 something with black hair and cheesy battle phraises?

That sword did none of that, all it did was change from fire/ice enchantments with day and night which is not the same.

The only thing they have in common is they are swords and there is day and night involved

Maybee a Moglin Mask, used to infiltrate enemy lines, and you can even talk to monsters. You could use it to be a messenger to gannon's top general and assasinate him. that would be awesome!

Pan of Health. You use a fire arrow on the ground, kill an enemy, and cook it, and you get more health judging on how well you cook the food with the wii remote.

how about a new armor set called the Light Armor?
it would have multiple pieces scattered throughout the land in dungeons.
The pieces are:
Light Wings, Light Shield, Light Arrows, Light Bow, Light Mask, Light Armor, Light Magic,

I like that a lot, but wings and a mask on Link? Not likely. Hopefully, they could be put to good use if the next game has faster, stronger, and tougher foes.

How about a magic rod of some sort that you could learn different spells for. Some spells nesecary some not needed.
-FIRE- comes out in a spray-nesecary-melts ice
-ICE- shoots out singular blasts of ice-nesecary-if it hits an enemy it will turn into an ice block which can be used for puzzles
-WIND- blows stuff-unnesecary
-LIGHTNING- zaps stuff-very strong-unesecary
-BALL AND CHAIN- a ball and chain comes out of the rod and you can swing it around like in TP-unecesay
-DOMINION- controls statues-nesecary

link needs a familiar he can call upon to fight in certain places using some sort of tool he gets after fighting a midboss

I think a cool weapon would be a lightning rod and the purpose of the rod would be to kill a giant metal boss

wouldn't electricity power a metal boss
a water rod would be better wouldn't it?

Boy, am I really glad that some of you don't work for the development team.

lol...uhh why doesn't he just have metal ninja claws to put on his hands? lol...I think that'd be better than having spears...IMO
