Did you ever actually use those? I mean, yeah, Din's Fire is required once or twice, but there doesn't seem to be any reason for them to exist.

Din's Fire doesn't do jack against bosses or keese, the only two groups a large-area spell seem more useful than a spin-attack for.
Farore's Wind never stays in rooms I want it in and saving, quitting, and reloading gets you out of dungeons faster and cheaper.
None of the battle situations are frantic enough to warrant Nayru's love rendering it only useful against Ganon himself (and then it's still more reliable to just leave it off and roll under him).

Those spells were crap.

Two words...Fire Rod.

Three words:
Cane of Pacci.

I agree. Din's Fire only needed to be used to light all the torches to enter the Shadow Temple and maybe some other areas needed it, but I don't recall them now. Link's spells in OoT just looked cool. Nayru's Love was useful to get past Leevers in the desert and wasn't really needed for other parts. I rarely used Farore's Wind, it didn't have much use to me. It was still sweet just to have them for their aesthetic appearance when used.

They were optional more than anything. And in those times, looked cool as ****.

He needs his wands/rods back.

Fire and Ice Rods were pretty cool. Maybe he could be able to put different kinds of elements through a single, magic rod type thing.

But I like the idea of magic in Zelda, but most of the time, it's done in such a way that it's not enough (Ocarina of Time), and another time it was done too much (Link to the Past). Wind Waker would have had a balance if the Fire and Ice Arrows weren't completely useless for puzzles.

I'd like Link to use magic as an "enchantment"(not permanent, but like a timed power boost). Instead of having the "Fire Arrows" or "Ice Arrows" you could choose to combine fire or ice with any (or most) of Link's weapons. Ice boomerang? Fire hammer? Electric Master Sword? Why not?

Ice...Fire Rod?

There should be a new character that uses magic.Powerful magic.

I don't know, I normally don't like items, that waste something. Like the bow. I only use the bow, if I must. The same goes for magic items, I always prefered if the game doesn't have a magic bar, but magic items, that don't need any magic jars or whatever to be powered. Like items for puzzle solving. Because otherwise I can't really enjoy those items, because I always have the urge of refilling the magic bar. And we don't really need any powerful spells. So, I'm fine, that we didn't get any magic since The Wind Waker.

What about Powered Gaunlets? (eg. Fire, Ice/Water, Wind, Earth). You can use them to do different things, eg. manipulate the elements. Imagine a water temple that invloves freezing and melting to complete it (like MM, but on a much larger scale).

I created a system of magic like that, where you have 9 elements and 9 items, although 8 of those items can only be charged with 1 out of 3 out of 9 elements, while the remaining 1 item can be charged with 1 out of all 9 elements.

Doesn't that just...flip things. xD Why not Bryna or whatever the other one is called?

Instead of 'magic' I'd rather just be able to use the ToC. Ganondorf can use it to do all kinds of naughty things, just the ability to make it glow on command would be a step up.

Pretty much THIS.

They should have 3-D fire and ice rods except instead of short bursts of fire or ice it would only stop when you let go of the b button (assuming they will have the same item equipping system from TP).

Because flipping things is way cooler than generic old invincibility.

I don't think "shooting" magic is any less generic. The spells in OoT, now those were original. Besides, Link is supposed to be a swordsman, I don't think he should have so much magic. Maybe a few things.
