The original topic died thanks to MasterKey, but it was an interesting topic. So ONTO PHASE TWOOOOOOO
I think incorporating proximity mines into Zelda somehow would be very interesting.
I think they should have seed shooter in some of the 3-d ones.
I think they should bring back the Deku Leaf, it remains one of the most unique and helpful items to date. It is not the same as the Roc's Feather, but it would also be nice to see it on 3D
Deku leaf was on 3D.
I would love to see some sort of tingle tuner-esque thing.
But it's more of a library, and not a way to contact... "Him"
You're inventions seem awfully uninventive.
Hmm...suppose he had a giant slingshot...like, that he could stretch between trees and launch bombs long distances with...
It's because not a lot of things could be done with Hylian technology...

I think there should be water boots that allow you to walk on (you guessed it) water. Think how awesome it would be running across Lake Hylia.
I can't remember clearly, but I'm almost sure there was an item like the Hookshot but you switched places with the target.
What feels un-Zelda about some of this items is that they are usually just focused on one task (fighting/movement/puzzle solving), and are not really well rounded. It is amazing how the Zelda team manages to bring simplicity and versatility with most of their items.
I would like an item that turned you into a ball (like Goron Link), it would work much like the morph ball, so there would be some fun puzzles to be solved like that.
Also, how about a Ramming Helmet, probably obtained after beating a Helmasaur mini-boss, it could tear down weak walls and dash through enemies for a quick escape. You also gain a speed boost, but your control while running is diminished, like riding a boar.

I can see it now... Link screaming his head off and the stupid casual player forcing him to slam his head into the wall. ;D

With Roc's Feather, they could put in a wall jumping technique. I really want to see Link wall jump.

So, the Hover Boots, but it lets you float on the air as long as you want? Or do you want Link's feet to actually touch the surface of the water?

It'd be much cooler to have it so that you actually walk on the water and other liquids, maybe even magma and that kind of thing. You wouldn't get them until late in the game, so when you do if you go back to earlier areas you get access to new content.
OH SNAP AND IF YOU GO TO A CERTAIN PLACE IN THE GAME YOU CAN GO HIGH ENOUGH TO WALK ON CLOUDS
and then you have access to this shortcut network that lets you get to a bunch of places much quicker.

So the helmet is pretty much pegasus boots?
It seems like it, but it would feel unreal in a 3D environment to have Link's bare head crashing into a wall.
With the boots it was always your sword sticking out like a lance.
It hit the wall, not you.

True, but you can do that with arrows and Octorok snot.

Not as cool as shelling enemies from afar with bombs.
You mean like some sort of cannon?
oh wait
Yeah, but we don't have a LAND cannon yet.
Quote from: Shika on May 28, 2009, 03:36:50 PM

Or like some sort of device that could attach bombs to shafts of arrows and launch them from some sort of stick with string on it?
It's not as cool. I'm talking launching it like water balloons outa those big rubber slingshots.
How would Link carry that around?
It's pretty small when it isn't unfolded and stretched out.
Besides, the question 'how would he carry it' has become a pretty moot point in the Zelda series.

*thinks back to the iron boots and ball-and-chain*
How did he put on the boots anyway?
I like to think there's a magic word associated with putting on and taking off the Iron and Hover Boots.

Clap On! Clap off!
In TP, the boots magically appeared, and Link just hopped into them.
If I were to invent a weapon, would it be fair if it destroyed all enemies in 100 yard radius? I think that weapon = I win button. But that would be far to easy and Nintendo would go crash for catastrophic reasons.
Another weapon, how about a laser gun that turns one of your enemies into a chicken? I call it 'The Poultryizer'

Someone rolled a mage.
Most enemies that aren't the little pack mobs attack one at a time, so unless they were to drastically change that system there's no real reason for CC.

Actually I'm a druid. Lols.
But what if it was a bigger radius? Wouldn't be TOO bad.
I think they have an item similar to that. Wasn't it called Din's Fire?
Din's Fire wasn't very powerful, it probably wouldn't have been in the game at all were it not for the Shadow Temple.
Hey! I used Din's Fire tons of times! I guess that made me a bad player, huh?
How about a variation of the hookshot where you can swing around enemies that are light enough, it would make for a great puzzle where you have to get the right enemy to the right spot.
I used it alot too! And I found it very effective. Maybe if it were a little more powerful, I think it would've been used more often.

Hi yeah. My topic owned face and it was here forever! I can't believe it died...
ANYWAY. Remember that weapon in twilight princess that had the bright ball on the end of the dominion rod?
I think they should make a zelda weapon like that. But it allows you to throw like. Fire. Or bombs. That'd be pretty beast.
It'd be like really extreme tennis.
You mean something like a Fire Rod? Or Bomb Arrows?
Way to spoil all my fun. It'd have more glow to it...
Would more glow be equivalent to more dakka?
Bringing this topic back to life:
The elec-needle bomb: You take a special bomb out, and you put it on the ground. It will not explode...yet. Once an enemy walks by, and electric surge is blasted at the enemy, killing it instantly. Immediatly, after the enemy's death, the bomb explodes, launching a cloud of small arrows that scatter through the terrain in a radius. They will stick out of the ground. You cannot reuse them. They look like ordinary arrows, so they cannot be easily recognized. When another enemy appears and walks into the circle of arrows, they will all send a pulsing explosion into the ground, shaking the terrain violently inside the circle, kicking the enemy (or enemies) into the air at least a foot, and then the arrows use the last of their energy (in this case, magic power) to release one last surge of electricity into the circle, frying all enemies in the circle and those close by. The only problem: It does not distinguish friend from foe, so if you're not a fair distance away, you'll get caught in the final wave.
