the best and most useful weapons link
has ever had in his arsenal even if the
items primary use isn’t combative if it
can be used to hurt enemies it was
[Music]
number 10 bombchu this handy weapon
first appeared in ocarina of time and
offered a new spin on the classic bomb
seen in other games while not a
necessary item to get they did offer
link a more ranged type of explosive as
they traveled along the ground in walls
detonating on contact the more useful
version of this item however came in the
DS title phantom hourglass using the
stylus and touchscreen players could
draw a line along the screen directing
the bomb to where to go it could be used
on enemies as well as out of reach
switches making it quite useful indeed
number nine the spinner while this
weapon only appeared in 2006 is Twilight
Princess it became an instant fan
favorite players found it in arbiters
grounds and it opened up an entirely new
way for link to traverse a dungeon the
spinner could lock into grooves in
certain walls and let link right around
to reach new areas not only that it also
had a spin attack that let link damage
enemies as he bounced from railing to
railing both of these qualities were
used to perfection in the battle against
stalard one of the most fun boss fights
in the game we can only hope this
incredibly enjoyable weapon wasn’t a
number eight thunder spear mm 17s breath
of the wild completely reinvented the
way weapons are used in a Zelda game it
offered a wide variety of features for
each item such as range durability and
even some elemental aspects some of the
most useful weapons you could find were
Spears as they offered the best range of
all the melee options but the Thunder
Spears elemental attributes made it all
the better being that it was infused
with electricity it could stun Link’s
enemies and deal damage at the same time
it also had higher durability than most
other Spears making it one of the most
well balanced in the game number seven
[Music]
link’s been shooting arrows at monsters
she just about as long as he’s been
swinging a sword at them though it
sometimes goes by a different name
the inclusion of the hero’s bow is
always a welcome one if you ever find
yourself up against a group of quick
pesky enemies of which there are many
the bow will help you pick them off no
problem it’s also used to hit those hard
to reach weak spots on larger enemies as
the series evolved the bow began to
include different varieties of arrows
like fire ice and bomb although you
might want to keep your eye out for a
larger quiver or else you’ll be in
trouble
number six chica BOM along with the
sword the bombs are one of the earliest
weapons to find in the original The
Legend of Zelda since then they’ve been
a staple in nearly every game but it was
in breath of the wild that this weapon
was enhanced to perfection with Link’s
new sheikah slate he has access to
various runes that help him accomplish
certain feats and the best rune is the
one that gives him an endless supply of
remotely detonated explosives this
offers an assortment of ways to combat
enemies whether it be attacking from
afar or setting dangerous traps it
reinvented a weapon as old as the series
itself for the better which is just
[Music]
this weapon can only be obtained at the
end of Majora’s Mask after you found all
the other twenty masks and gone through
four grueling mini dungeons but its
strength is well worth the effort
there are several masks in the game that
transform link into powerful creatures
though none can hold a candle to the
fierce deity mask wearing it basically
turns link into a god and allows him to
shoot beams of light out of his massive
sword this makes the final boss and
every other one look like an absolute
chump you may call it overpowered but we
call it ripping through the monster
who’s been relentlessly terrorizing a
number four fire rod
there’s nothing quite like shooting
giant bursts of fire at your enemies
such as the appeal of this classic
weapon first appearing in a Link to the
Past the fire rod is another weapon of
links that’s changed from game to game
breath of the wild took it back to its
roots by allowing link to lob massive
fireballs at his foes but the most
impressive and most beneficial fire rod
came in the 3ds title a link between
worlds here the item shot a pillar of
fire that moved in a straight line
knocking back enemies and hitting them
several times it’s a simple tool yes but
nonetheless awesome number three giant
the boomerang has always been one of the
most advantageous weapons Linc can
collect and he doesn’t have to worry
about running out of ammo it’s varied in
form and power over the years but the
best iteration was seen in breath of the
wild the giant boomerang works like a
two-handed great sword dealing out more
damage than its smaller counterparts but
is it still a boomerang Linc can hurl it
through the air at oncoming enemies
there’s just something so fulfilling
about seeing a massive spinning blade
fly through bad guys just make sure to
catch it when it comes back number two
Master Sword
[Music]
you might be a little surprised to see
the blade of Evil’s Bane in the
number-two spot but in several games
there are still much stronger weapons
than the Master Sword that Lincoln
acquire however its legacy and magic
properties are unmatched in every game
it appears in this mighty blade is the
only weapon that can truly put a stop to
the ferocious Ganon although it may need
to be powered up first this xcalibur
inspired weapon is by far the most
iconic link has ever wielded whenever a
new game debuts it’s a safe bet to
assume that he’ll be able to find it in
before we unveil our number one pick
[Music]
that’s right the hookshot beat links
legendary blade can the Master Sword let
you cling to walls rooftops and targets
like some sort of medieval Spider Man no
no it cannot
first premiering in a Link to the Past
the hook shot instantaneously became one
of the coolest weapons Linkwood ever
obtained not only does it let link
traverse over dangerous areas more
quickly it can also be highly effective
in combat you can’t run out of arrows
with the hook shot and upgrading it in
certain games can increase its range
there is a reason it didn’t appear in
breath of the wild it would have made
everything way too easy do you agree
