Honerable mention to Tycoon Wallet (SS)



Just like in Lollipop Chainsaw, You never know when you will need an extra head.

Favorite; Ocarina! Useful and it makes pretty noise!
Least Favorite; Farore's wind! Why would i go back where I have already been?
Useful; Bombs (especially in aLttP), Bow, Hookshot
Useless; Cane of Byrna (i think its that one, the defense one that wastes magic, not the block maker)

I like Majora's Mask's Gypsy Milk.
Equip: Goron Mask. VROOOOOOOOM.

Favourite: Toss up between Roc's Feather (LA) & the Hero's Bow (All it appears in)
Least Favourite: Magic Powder (LA) Ughh... why... just why?
Useful: Hookshot (All it appears in) I find uses for this everywhere - I keep that and the bow equipped most of the time
Useless: Bomchu (All it appears in) Less accurate than throwing a gnome over your shoulder blindfolded.

Actually, I found that it really helps in the Water Temple. I use it to always warp right to the 3rd floor wall (the one that raises the water to it's highest or blue photo in OoT3D) instead of running through rooms that I didn't need to run through more than once.

My favorite: Ice arrows

My least favorite: Slingshot (not as good as the bow, and it just doesn't look cool)

Most useful: Hookshot, bow and arrow, lens of truth

Least useful: Circus Leader's Mask (you earn it after the only event it would be useful for

Useless - Dominion rod, ladder, raft

Useless - Spinner,

:mastahswor d:my opinoin on what the coolest tools are longshot{tp},boomerang,iron boots,and dins fire. think that thease are usles lantern spinniner deku shield

FAVORITES: , Bow, Bomb, Clawshot, Hylian Shield.

LEAST FAVORITE: Elemental arrows (Fire, Ice, Light) Spinner, Boomerang

My favorite item is without a doubt the boomerang. It was used creatively in puzzles, can retrieve items, and is very practical in combat. It instantly stuns a single target from a range leaving them open for an attack. It is a staple of the series I will continue to love.

Favorite Items: Bunny Hood, Pegasus Boots

Least Favorite Items: Dominion Rod

Most Useful Items: Bow and Arrows, Beetle, Boomerang, Hookshot

Most Useless Items: Dominion Rod

Favorite: Dominion Rod. This item gets a whole lot of hate. I don't understand because I personally thought that it was ingenious. With most other items, it is still Link you are controlling directly. With the Rod, you get to control another entity. How cool is that? I loved it so much I nicknamed the statue in the Temple of Time 'Eddie'. Close second was the Ball and Chain. Heck, you got to be like the ball and chain troopers in ALttP and the Oracle series. I also enjoyed the spinner. In other words, I loved all the items in TP that most people hate.

Least Favorite: Lantern. Niah. You were always worrying about the oil running out. A bit of a pain with the Wii controls also.

Most Useful: Empty bottles. Seriously, I don't know what I'd do without them.

Least Useful: Fishing pole.

As usual I have too many things to fit each category so I will have to itemize some by game:

Favorites:
LoZ: boomerang, stopwatch, magical shield, life potion, bombs
AoL: pegasus boots, glove
ALttP: hookshot, flute, bottles, magic powder
MC: gust jar, bottles, flute, mole mitts
OoT: longshot
TP: ball and chain (a pain, yes, but I love wrecking stuff), clawshot, double clawshot, arrows, bomb arrows, hawkeye, bottles

Least favorites:
Spinner, super bomb, bomblings

Most useful:
Hookshot, (in all forms), hawkeye, arrows, bombs, bomb arrows, swim fins, bottles

Least useful: Most of these are vital to the game, but are listed here because they serve such minimal purpose:
Book of magic, magical rod, super bomb, cane of Byrna, ice rod
