original items?

what kind of new items do u think will be in the game because so far all they have showed us is the same ol stuff from past games. i want some new items

Well... that´s pretty damn difficult to predict accurately.

But one thing we know, is that almost all of the traditional items (maybe all, I think) like the boomerang, the boots, the hookshot, the bow (hopefully), and, well, that are the only items shown to us for now. Yes, there are all those bottles, lanterns, and... oh! the lantern! I forgot that one. By the way, what will be the purpose of this lantern? (...other than lighting...)

And, I have an idea for the bow. Maybe it´s too clawshot like, but when the clawshot ataches to something, it just reels you in like the hookshot did. Now, my idea is like to "tie" a rope to the arrow, and then shooting it to a wooden something, or even more interesting, to a flying creature.

Then, obviously when the arrow plunges into something, it will not reel you in, so this will be more like a... how´s that called?... well, the rope from WW given you by the Ritos. Well, you´ll be able to swing with the rope, as with the WW thingy. I can´t imagine many things with this "new function" for an old item, the bow and arrow in this case., but sure there could be. But well, obviously this is PURE speculation.

I would like a return of the switch hook which lead to some mad puzzle solving skills in heroes cave/whatever it was in seasons, as a new item I would like... a portal gun (or arrow)

at this point i think that new items are almost impossible to predict. we do know that on new item are some type of bomb arrows. we have confirmed bow/arrows, boomerang, boots, lantern, hookshot, reedlike instrument. we also can assume that bombs, a hammer/mallet, and some type of gloves/power bracelet will be in the game. one item i would like to see would be a speed boot which allows you to run quickly and possibly even carry you through the air ala winged boots in oot. im not expecting more than a few new items. think about this, ever since alttp was released and introduced an insane amount of new types of items/weapons most of which are still in use in zelda games today, each zelda game has included very few brand new items.

Oh, yeah, I forgot the bomb arrows... well, I think my "rope" example is meaningless now. But is still has (...slight, even slighter than before) possibility of ebing included (slight...).

Original items? That virtually impossible to predict. Maybe there will be items exclusive to wolf Link, like some Power Claws or whatever. I'm personally hoping for the return of the Pegasus Boots. That would be great to see in 3D.

I have always thought that the pegasus boots would look weird and out of place in a 3d Zelda game.

I don't think so, picture it, Link switches on his Pegasus Boots. It has a small but noticeible wing on each shoe. You press and hold the button, and Link starts running in place, then ZOOM! He shoots off and crashes through a weak stone wall. It looks good to me.

I would also like the return of the Quake and othe Medallions.

We all know of Link's Heart Meter, and Magic Meter (we still haven't seen any item that consumes magic....other than Midna's Hat I suppose), but what about that blue meter show in this picture? True its only shown as Wolf Link, but think of what could surpass magic and health? Is it a meter for his sences?

The lanturn (as mentioned earlier) hasn't had much purpose in Zelda games other than giving light. Previous torches could only set lamps on fire, however the Fire Lanturn of tMC could set Gibdos on fire. In one of the first videos I believe I saw "Oil" in one of Link's bottles. I wonder if Link can use the oil in a more destructive way (like pouring the oil on the ground and litting it).

I doubt the lantern would be used for anything other then light. Maybe a few puzzles which require it to light torches, yes, but thats about it. Oil would be used to fuel the lantern, that is if it doesn't consume magic power.

Well... this is not an original weapon idea but it aplies to this thread. I would like to se the Master Sword shoot beams again. But it looks very unlikely to happen in TP thus so far.

I think a good 2D iem that needs to make an appearance in a 3D LoZ is Roc's Feather. It could be VERY useful at times. Also the Peagasus Boots would be a nice asset to unlike those rip off Hover Boots from OoT.

So what is you new item proposal, BGS? No... forget that, it is impossible to predict with accuracy totally new items, as I said (first). But what would be the old items (or already revealed items, like the lantern) new purpouses is something that CAN be predicted.

So, for the "Oil" thing, I think that the Lantern will only light your path (really important, though), and most probably torches too. But aside from that, I would be surprised. I hope they surprise me... no, forget that too. That´s a fact already.

And finally, for the bubble meter thingy, I developed that in my analysis (yeah... old, old, but still in my sigg). But well... do you recall that bubble things in some "old" screenshot? In the one where Wolf Link was glowing in green, and some strange bubbles floated behind him. I bet that this bubbles are represented in that meter, but it´s purpose is unknown.

I speculated that they may be some "anti-twilight" thingies, and although I´m almost sure this is one of it´s characteristics, everything else is unknown. Oh, and remember the white "bull" like entity... and the glowing thing in his head. And also the newest sreen in the UK magazine, with the strange white circle in the middle of the fountain... this may hint something.

Oh, I hope you´re still reading, but well... I have noticed something in that screen, something quite strange: There are those twilight freekas (pardon...), the ones with the helmet thing, outside if the twilight!!! Maybe many of you noticed that earlier, but meh. Outside!!! Yep, that´s it.

I don't really have anything new item proposal (that hasn't already been said by myself, or countless others in threads just like this one in the past) however I did want to say how that blue bubble meter could be used as a fuel for new items/abilities. WolfLink's sences would be like a Lens of Truth, and his digging ability like a Shovel. For a new item, it can't be too powerful (like the Medalions used in ALttP), or too useless (like the Hero's Charm and Magic Armor of tWW...by the time you received those items, you've already mastered all of Link's moves that you don't need any further aid). I'm just stating the obvious here, that Link will "always" have a tunic, sword, sheild, Bow/arrows, bombs, power bracelets, lanturn, flippers, boomerang, boots (of some kind), hammer, and Hookshot. Those twelve items are the key things usually shown in a Zelda game, and trying to find an original item that none of those twelve things can do is the challenge, or making an original item to much more like:
*Standard Green Tunic had upgrades in ALttP, LA, and different options in OoT.
*Modern sword attacks have made Link to more than just spin attack, dash, and slash. Just take a look at FSA, tWW, and tMC as examples.
*Sheild really only has one great upgrade: The mirror sheild. In tWW it was great reflecting light, and in tMC it was great creating beams from enemy projectiles. I would love to see a tMC Mirror Sheild in a 3D Zelda game.
*Bows...people have said have a crossbow (how original...), I say, have a longbow. What's a longbow? Same as a regular bow, however it is great to take out enemies from very distant places. Just imagine fighting a boss outside. With a regular bow, the arrow reaches his chest, but a longbow would send it to his eye
*Bombs....tMC had a detonator idea and OoT had Bomb-chus. I'd love to see the Detonated bomb come to the 3D world.
*Power Bracelets. Not something you can really upgrade. Only change it's name/shape. You wouldn't want a rediculously strong hero, or would you? What would be the fun in that?
*Lanturn: It brings light into darkness and burns stuff. Now if we could make it shoot out fire like a small flamethrower (Magic used ofcourse), that would be interesting (like a fire rod...but only a stream of fire, not fire balls).
*Flippers: The mermaid suite of OoA was great. I'd prefer to see Link grow gills and webbed hands than have him be half fish, but that's not my decission to make.
*Boomerang: I love the Gale Rang idea. Don't change it.
*Boots: There were many boots for OoT. Not exactly necessary for the whole game. The new Magnetic Boots have a double purpose: for electricity and for more weight (like Iron Boots). Pegasus boots for TP? Meh. Pegasus seeds from the Oracle games? Now that's something I can look forward too (I like the sence of having items that are unlimited). The Hammer...doesn't really need a change (at least I can't think of anything for it). Hookshot...hmmm with the switch hook, claw shot, and grapling hook already in play, it's hard to say that this item needs any more improvements.

-BGS

All that is right, BGS. You just listed all the items improvements (just with the lantern and longbow), but that´s Ok. The lantern idea of having it throwing a string of flame for magic is great, indeed. Maybe, but just maybe, there will be something similar with it. But with the longbow... well. It´s nothing we can call "improvement" or a "refresh" for an old item, and the new "ability" to the bow has already been showed: The "Bomb Arrows".

And, from the beggining, I said that predicting totally new items accurately was almost impossible. And flippers for "new" item... meh.

But, obviously, expect to see some totally new frrreakin items!!!

Old "items" I want to return:
Beams from Master Sword
Pegasus Boots
Hammer
Bug Catcher's Net
Shovel

New "items" that I think we'll see:
Axe (Like the Megaton, but with blades)
Special harness/horseshoes/saddle
Different status-altering tunics
