I'd say that the Giant's Mask is more useless than the Sand Rod, because while the Sand Rod cam be used throughout the dungeon, the Giant's Mask can only be used for a single boss fight.
How is the sand rod useless? It can also be used to reveal hidden treasures and maimais. Plus it can throw sand to stun ennemies if used on terrains other than sand.
Mojoplays has no idea what is good and what is not. They just randomly see something and says yeah this is bad. In short all of mojo channels are a bunch of people who don't know anything but want to act smart for people who know nothing
I would say the Ice Arrows, in Ocarina of Time were the most useless item, in that game. At least, you can do the first phase of the Ganon boss fight with the Broken Giant's Knife. I'm glad Majora's Mask made the Ice Arrows actually useful.
@@TheKisj I'm not denying that the Ice Arrows can do some interesting things, but by the time you get them, you're already almost done the game, and there isn't really anything they can help you with that other items can't already help you with.
Late addition sure but you can at least have fun with them. Dominion rod in tlp is useless outside of its dungeon and takes up the space of a potentially cooler item.
@@spartanq7781 I think it's leftover from when the Medallions were planned to be equippable items that could be used to do things, such as casting magical spells, revealing invisible objects, and even being equipped to your arrows to give them extra abilities; combined with the Forest and Water Medallions originally intended to be Wind and Ice Medallions. In the final game, these mechanics were changed to items, including Farore's Wind, Din's Fire, Nayru's Love, Lens of Truth, Fire Arrows, Ice Arrows and Light Arrows.
I guess this would belong on a list of useless weapons but I would say the Magic Armor from Twlight Princess. It takes so much effort in getting this armor. You have to complete some quests then you have to collect rupees to donate to Malo and then you have to save up more rupees to purchase the armor. The armor runs by rupees, if you run out it becomes very heavy. You can't even ride Epona when the armor becomes heavy. Not worth getting unless you want to complete the game 100%.
It would be more useful in botw since you have a ton of money to burn there. You can literally flex so hard on people in hyrule by doing the infinite rupee glitch and then wearing the magic armour in botw.
To be fair, those uses you mentioned while dismissing the shovel are *exactly* why it's vital. It helps you farm rupees, hearts and consumables SO much faster than if all you had was a few grass clumps and some enemies. Imho that makes it more if a time saver than a time waster, at least when farming is involved.
For me the most disappointing item is the spinner. I love it inside the dungeon you get it in, but the fact that it’s barely used outside the dungeon save for like 2 heart pieces, it’s such a disappointment because it seems like such a fun item, but just using the spinner in hyrule field kinda does nothing
The whip from Skyward Sword is pretty useless too. You only use it in the Ancient Cistern and that's it. And id say the Giants Mask is more useless. At least for the Gorman mask, you can get another heart piece by saving the milk again without pelting the brothers full of arrows.
6:56 hidden passages? You do realize that you need the shovel to beat Link’s Awakening, right? It’s also part of a trade that unlocks the boomerang which is really good, so it’s not useless.
I mean, it is a watchmojo video, whose research begins and ends with googling the eventual video’s title, clicking the “I’m feeling lucky” button, and skimming whatever page loads. I really doubt any of them actually played half these games
You say Giant’s Knife but do you perhaps mean the unbreakable version called Biggoron Sword that you get through trading quest that starts in Kakariko Village?
@@myfishcalledbobble Close; you get a broken hilt during ongoing trading quest from the carpenter at Gerudo Bridge (I think) and you take that Goron on top of death mountain who needs eye drops. Ultimately, you don't need to shell out 200 rupees for a weapon that has durability of a dry twig.
Here's what I heard. Johnny: Andrew, you spent most of your time getting the mirror shield 🛡️ In the minish cap after you defeated Vaati? If you want I know a good therapist.
Uh, the way to get Biggoron's sword in the original Ocarina of Time is done through a side quest too, ending with bringing the big Goron the eye drops so he can see & repair his worrrrrrrrk.
I beg to differ on the Sand Rod. It's only appeared twice, and both times have been very useful. If you want a useless item from LBW, go for the Boomerang, it has no use at all, the only reason I'll by it is so I can upgrade my spin attack.
Stone of Agony was USELESS in OoT. On the N64 you needed a peripheral rumble pak to feel it activate, but you could also read a Prima guide to know where the grottos were too
dude, shovel is incredible. for both filling hearts and grinding up rupees- im kinda baffled that its on here. maybe the later games it lost its sheen, but in awakening, ages and seasons it was a lifesaver on many occasions
How about the Dominion Rod? OK, true, it's not COMPLETELY useless. But after the Temple of Time....its usefulness drops A LOT. Because A, you first have to do that whole Ilia side quest to be able to even charge it back up. And even then? It's only those BASIC statues that you can use it on. None like what you had in the actual temple.
@@R_Caverdae that couple mask gets you a piece of heart when you talk to the mayor with it And the circus leader mask use was pretty much redundant in the original N64 version but in the 3DS version they made it so it can lead you to a 7th empty bottle
I do like to get the real Goron's knife he do have to actually work to get it. And the fact it does twice as much damage at the Master Sword in OOT and never breaks like the first one was quite satisfying when I found out about it
My favourite detail about the broken Giant's Knife: it turns Dark Link into a joke. Just keep thrusting with it equipped, he'll keep trying to stand on your nonexistent blade, causing him to keep taking damage. The Fake Ore Chunk from Seasons, however, is unironically useless and I'm glad we get rid if it upon reclaiming the Roc's Feather. Most disappointing: the Spinner. It's only usage outside of dungeons is pretty much to find a few arbitrary collectables.
Not to mention that out on Sea, it helped me seek out the fish men jumping in the water to fill out my map and give info. The spyglass also helped me find the exact spots where a flock of seagulls marks the location of a Big Octo
You forgot the Ice Arrow from Ocarina of Time, the Tingle Turner from Windwaker, the Spinner from Twilight Princess, and the mask of senses from Majora's Mask!
So many people confusing the Giant's Knife in OoT with the Biggoron's Sword. Biggoron's Sword is NOT obtained by fixing the Broken Giant's Knife. Biggoron repairs the Broken Biggoron Sword which is obtained from the Carpenter in the trading quest. The Giant's Knife is completely unrelated to the trading quest and is mostly as useless as this video says. Although due to the powerstab glitch, as long as you don't hit anything with the Giant's Knife - you can do a jump slash with it, switch back to the Master Sword and then as long as you don't do any regular attacks with the Master Sword equipped your crouch stabs with it will do the damage of a Giant's Knife jump slash. So using glitches; sure it is useful. In normal gameplay though? The video is completely correct.
@@davidm9442 You really don't need the purple shrooms. In reference to my previous comment, the blue potion is relatively useless with only one point to the story, and it's near the end where you can easily buy it faster
U can fix the big Gordon sword of u talk to big Goron on top of the volcano. He gives u a quest for eye drops. Big Goron's sword is very powerful and kills enemies with fewer hits than the master sword.
Almost everyone i know breaks the giant's knife swinging it in the walls of the room after getting it! Loved when i watched other people doing it without knowing it
I think you’ve forgotten the Magic Armour in Twilight Princess. To get that, you have to donate your rupees to Malo Mart in Kakariko Village, once you done so, a new Malo Mart opens up in Castle Town where the Magic Armour is sold. Once you wear the magic armour, there’s a really a big red flag. You become invincible from any damage however your rupees in your pocket start to drop and would drop alot when taken damage. And once you ran out of rupees then you’ll become vulnerable again and even walk like you’re wearing the iron boots.
I definitely think that the power bracelet lv2 from Link's Awakening should be on here. The lv1 bracelet is good enough to get through the entire game, the lv2 bracelet was only used in dungeon 6 and nowhere else. Sure it made picking rocks up faster but I still found it disappointing
You need this bracelet to push the statue and go near to the death cock. But you're right, and the second shield too unfortunately, only usefull to go to 8th dungeon
Which “Zelda” item do you find to be the most disappointing? Let us know in the comments! Subscribe to MojoPlays for more Zelda videos! wmojo.com/mojoplays-subscribe
don't know if this counts but the voice microphone function in phantom hour glass and spirt tracks is rubbish in noisy areas and it can feel uncomfortable to do mentally when told to shout for instance or answer questions not to mention I've had accent problems with my voice on it as well
Tingle Bottle in Wind Waker HD is by far the most useless item, why? Because Nintendo rendered it useless, you can use every other item on the list, you can't use the Tingle Bottle in Wind Waker HD anymore
I don’t think a lot of these are useless really. They existed to add some variety to dungeons and stuff. They may have be one time situational use things sure, but at least they mixed things up ok that situation.
The Mirror Shield from Minish Cap reminds me of the Gospel Ring from Dragon Quest 8. The Gospel Ring is an item that prevents monsters from engaging you while you wear it. Basically, it had the same effect as the Holy Water item. In order to get the ring, though, you would need to defeat all monster types in the game, including bosses and the ones that show up post game. By that time, your team would be too high in level to even need it, thus it turned out to only be a recreational item.
Your first entry, the sword in ocarina of time, is actually the best sword in the game. Way better than the master sword. You're just doing it wrong. You should never buy it from they goron underground. There's a quest chain you have to follow, the longest quest chain in the game, but it gets you an unbreakable version. Here's how to get it. If you already paid for the sword and have the broken hilt go straight to top of death mountain. Otherwise follow this to get the hilt the right way. You start(Adult link) by going to talk to cucco lady. She will give you a pocket cucco. Use that to wake up the sleeping rancher in the nearby house(daytime). Carry the cucco back to the lady. She will give you a blue one. Take that to lost wood. Upon entering, go left. Use blue cucco to wake him. He will give you a mushroom. Rush to kakariko village(timed quest) and go to potion shop neat gate to death mountain. Ignore the woman at the counter and go through door on side to come out behind building. Go into other building and give mushroom to old woman(witch?) She will give you a potion. Return to the man in lost woods. He's gone now. Talk to the korok there. She will take the potion and give you a saw. Take the saw to gurudo valley. Jump the bridge and give the saw to the head carpenter. He will give you the broken hilt. Now we have the hilt. Take that to death mountain and climb to the top. There you will meet a far, far larger goron. He is the creator of the sword, and the guy below is kinda an apprentice. He will take the hilt and give you a prescription. Take that to zoras domainand show it to the king. He will trade it for a frog. Then there's a timed run to the lake hylia to give the frog to the guy in the building. He will give you eyedrops and an even shorter time limit to get back to death mountain. Once you give the eye drops to the Goron he will give you a claim check. Use sun song to skip 3 days time. At the third rooster crow, talk to him again, and you'll get the completed, unbreakable sword. It has a massive reach, and bigger damage than master sword. Plus just looks cool. Honestly it's no surprise you thought it was useless. Most people don't even know about this even this long after the game was released. I ocassionly do 100% runs of the game just for fun and make sure I still know where everything is, so of course I do know it. Gotta know it to 100% the game. Currently I've been learning BOTW, but there's just so much to memorize lol, nothing like ,OoT. So I can't 100% it yet, at least not without following a RUclips guide.
so combineing the items on this together with the different versions of said items that are basically the same thing form both games (like other cool late/end game power-ups for the items simalr to the mirror shield) and you have a good part of the zelda items. The only ones that are not listed as useless are the early-mid game battle items or important game mechanic items like the ocarina
One I didn't expect to be usless in breath of the wild was the master sword. It's power lv is 30. By the time I got it all my weapons were 60. I took the fastest route too
@@derekmccluskey4931 Yeah no worries. It makes wrecking guardians a cakewalk. It occasionally requires a recharge for about 10 minutes but it thankfully otherwise never breaks. Plus it’s pretty much one of the best single bladed swords. Most that deal higher damage tend to break easily. Obviously a lot of two-handed weapons do more damage but you can’t use a shield with them and they’re slower. There are a lot of trade-offs.
Should've added the Book of Mudora from LTTP, only two mandatory uses for it (Desert Palace and Tempest Medallion), and after that, it doesn't do anything viable. They had an opportunity to make it a really good lore item, but missed out on it.
Illa's Charm isnt useless lmao. Ive used that so much going for 100%. Also I lovehow you included the sand rod, but you dont include the sceptre from TP. Its useless outside of the dungeon other than 3-4 hearts. Aaaand the dungeon itself is skipable so its entirely possible to just not even get it.
Another thing that adds to the Telescopes uselessness is the Picto Box has the EXACT SAME abilities to zoom in on far targets. The Picto Box should have replaced the Telescope since they're basically the same thing.
Don't waste 200 rupees on the Giant's Knife, buy the Blue Fire instead and unfreeze King Zora! Then after getting Epona, go through the trade quest and get the Biggoron Sword!!!
You forgot the Deku Nuts in Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. To MojoPlays, I want to let you know there's actually a useless item you forgot to go over. It's the Deku Nut, what it does is it stuns enemies for a few seconds and that's it. I never liked the Deku Nuts, and I usually don't use them in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask since I can use Deku Stick and Slingshot which is much more useful. Also, the bug in a bottle is useless in Majora's Mask. The Ice arrows in Ocarina of Time aren't required and is just for fun to attack enemies but not practical. I also hardly use Farore's Wind and I never bother with the Giants Knife.
Deku nuts have several legit uses if you experiment. 1) instantly kill/disarm deku merchants and scrubs (no shield required) 2) check ground for holes (Well, Shadow Temple) 3) look like Sheik/badass 4) generally, quickly stunning enemies with a huge blast radius is handy.
Another one: Nayru's Love from Ocarina of Time It's a shield that protects you from any harm for a limited time. But by the time you actually get it, you're almost at the end of the game and have a lot of hearts. It's easy to forget you even have it, because you're used to toughing through all your challenges by now.
The Couple’s Mask from Majora’s Mask. Hours of work, repetition and trying to look up walkthroughs during the dark ages (dial up internet, at the time) for nothing more than a measly heart piece. 😱😭🤬
The Giant's Knife is still more useful than most weapons in BOTW. As in you can still use it after it breaks, and has more durability than most weapons in BOTW.
I think I got more use out of Ilia's Charm than either the Dominion Rod OR the Spinner. I know each is very important within the dungeon you get them; you need them just to get around on the tracks of the Arbiter's Grounds, or through the doors of the Temple of Time, but apart from those, neither is particularly useful in the world, as a whole. I think one item for me was the Book of Mudora. They never explained why this ancient, sacred text is in certain places, or why this holy book of translations just happens to be there. When I was planning to run Zelda d20 Adventures, I actually intended to make it a magical spellbook, just to give it some more flair.
It looks like for a lot of these items they suddenly thought oh yeah we can make an item that helps with that but thought about it after they already made all the dungeons before it and all the other items you got before that therefore making it useless but still putting it in the game so that you'd feel like you were accomplishing something else by doing some lame side quest for it. 😂
I find that twilight princess was the one game I never really explored very well since being in wolf form and using the sense ability darkens the screen.
How could you forget the Rupoors? I never really used Deku nuts in Ocarina of Time. The spinner in Twilight Princes is very cool but only has limited places it can be used. Maybe there could be a video of items with tue most wasted potential. I would include the Giants Mask from Majora's mask on that list.
The Deku Nuts are a criminally underrated item, given the amount of use you can actually get from them. They can instantly reveal Poes, when they go invisible (including the Poe Sisters), they can stun Gohma instantly, they can destroy Shaboms instantly, they can stun Biris so that you can vertical slash them without getting zapped, etc. It wasn't until later in life that I realized how useful Deku Nuts actually are.
@@NintendoSunnyDee They really are just that good, especially if you find the inventory upgrades for them, which will allow you to carry 40 of them (with both upgrades), as opposed to 20.
Kind of a dumb list since many of these are perhaps under utilized, not useless (like the shovel, which is an essential item in vanilla alttp). I would put mirror shield and red mail from alttp on the list. You get both too late and all the mirror shield gimmicks can easily be bypassed without it.
The mirror shield 🛡 is easily best item in game you are smoked out for hating. The gorgon sword is lethal able to cut 4 hearts jump slash the master sword does 1-2 the big knife does 2-4
Sure, they could have just left the bait out, but then they could have just left out the bosses on all the levels and just let you walk straight to the treasure every time too, but they didn't. Why? Because, it's something you have to do to move forward in the game.
Giants Mask in MM pissed me off because I could only use it on twinmold similar to how you can only use fierce deity mask in MM majoras mask had a lot of useless mask that at the end of the game it was easy to decide which mask to use when deciding with the skull kid for the fierce deity
What about the Iron Nugget in Subrosia in Orcale of Seasons? You get this stuff Just for a few minutes, but its main purpose is to be useless. So shouldnt it be #1?

I'd say that the Giant's Mask is more useless than the Sand Rod, because while the Sand Rod cam be used throughout the dungeon, the Giant's Mask can only be used for a single boss fight.
That's a major missed opportunity. Imagine using that to walk all over enemies. That would have been cool.
Yeah and you don't even need to use the mask unless you're playing the 3DS version. Plus it drains magic waayyy too fast.

@@davidm9442 You really don't need the purple shrooms. In reference to my previous comment, the blue potion is relatively useless with only one point to the story, and it's near the end where you can easily buy it faster
The ice arrows are useful in MM but in OoT they are trash
U can fix the big Gordon sword of u talk to big Goron on top of the volcano. He gives u a quest for eye drops. Big Goron's sword is very powerful and kills enemies with fewer hits than the master sword.
That's biggoron sword that doesn't break well the one breaks is called giants sword
The flute from Zelda 2 just one use
Now make a list of the most useful zelda items
Almost everyone i know breaks the giant's knife swinging it in the walls of the room after getting it!
Loved when i watched other people doing it without knowing it
I think you’ve forgotten the Magic Armour in Twilight Princess. To get that, you have to donate your rupees to Malo Mart in Kakariko Village, once you done so, a new Malo Mart opens up in Castle Town where the Magic Armour is sold.
Once you wear the magic armour, there’s a really a big red flag. You become invincible from any damage however your rupees in your pocket start to drop and would drop alot when taken damage. And once you ran out of rupees then you’ll become vulnerable again and even walk like you’re wearing the iron boots.
I definitely think that the power bracelet lv2 from Link's Awakening should be on here. The lv1 bracelet is good enough to get through the entire game, the lv2 bracelet was only used in dungeon 6 and nowhere else. Sure it made picking rocks up faster but I still found it disappointing
You need this bracelet to push the statue and go near to the death cock. But you're right, and the second shield too unfortunately, only usefull to go to 8th dungeon
Which “Zelda” item do you find to be the most disappointing? Let us know in the comments!

don't know if this counts but the voice microphone function in phantom hour glass and spirt tracks is rubbish in noisy areas and it can feel uncomfortable to do mentally when told to shout for instance or answer questions not to mention I've had accent problems with my voice on it as well
@@benjithomas112 yeah true
The Dominion Rod from twilight princess🙄
The tingle tuner in wind waker. Useless unless you had a gba cable and gba.
You can repair the big Sword in OoT!
Ich love the Telescope in WindWaker to looking for new Islands.
The Shovel is epic
Yeah, you can repair it. To have it break again almost immediately afterwards lol.
I remember you can fix the giant's knife, I remember fixing it several times by a huge goron that I had to bring to an eye drop lol
But, it's still a waste. You can easily get the Biggoron's sword instead which doesn't break & is very useful.
Tingle Bottle in Wind Waker HD is by far the most useless item, why? Because Nintendo rendered it useless, you can use every other item on the list, you can't use the Tingle Bottle in Wind Waker HD anymore
I don’t think a lot of these are useless really. They existed to add some variety to dungeons and stuff. They may have be one time situational use things sure, but at least they mixed things up ok that situation.
Also how can you not love the shovel lol. Every time on the early games I’ve been short on rupees that helped easily
Golden Gauntlets is to lock off end game stuff…
@@0gami1tto I remember in the Oracle games when they first came out how I would dig every spot I could for rupees, Hearts, and minor enemies to kill
The guy narrating this video sounds like Terrence and Philip and now I can't stop laughing 😂😂😂😂
I’m surprised the Dominion Rod and Spinner aren’t mentioned.
The net in ALTTP seems pretty needless. In other games you just catch things in the bottle.
You can actually knock back Agahnim's energy balls back at him with the Bug Catching Net.
@@ShadowSora8491 My mind is now blown. 🤯
The Mirror Shield from Minish Cap reminds me of the Gospel Ring from Dragon Quest 8.
The Gospel Ring is an item that prevents monsters from engaging you while you wear it. Basically, it had the same effect as the Holy Water item. In order to get the ring, though, you would need to defeat all monster types in the game, including bosses and the ones that show up post game. By that time, your team would be too high in level to even need it, thus it turned out to only be a recreational item.
I disagree with the windwaker telescope!! Its great for scouting where the fish who edit your map are jumping around in the area 😊
You can usually see those from miles away anyway
I guess it's like getting the endurance potion after you beat the quicksand dessert in SWS! You go back and explore a bunch of shiat!
Your first entry, the sword in ocarina of time, is actually the best sword in the game. Way better than the master sword. You're just doing it wrong. You should never buy it from they goron underground. There's a quest chain you have to follow, the longest quest chain in the game, but it gets you an unbreakable version. Here's how to get it. If you already paid for the sword and have the broken hilt go straight to top of death mountain. Otherwise follow this to get the hilt the right way.
You start(Adult link) by going to talk to cucco lady. She will give you a pocket cucco. Use that to wake up the sleeping rancher in the nearby house(daytime). Carry the cucco back to the lady. She will give you a blue one. Take that to lost wood. Upon entering, go left. Use blue cucco to wake him. He will give you a mushroom. Rush to kakariko village(timed quest) and go to potion shop neat gate to death mountain. Ignore the woman at the counter and go through door on side to come out behind building. Go into other building and give mushroom to old woman(witch?) She will give you a potion. Return to the man in lost woods. He's gone now. Talk to the korok there. She will take the potion and give you a saw. Take the saw to gurudo valley. Jump the bridge and give the saw to the head carpenter. He will give you the broken hilt. Now we have the hilt. Take that to death mountain and climb to the top. There you will meet a far, far larger goron. He is the creator of the sword, and the guy below is kinda an apprentice. He will take the hilt and give you a prescription. Take that to zoras domainand show it to the king. He will trade it for a frog. Then there's a timed run to the lake hylia to give the frog to the guy in the building. He will give you eyedrops and an even shorter time limit to get back to death mountain. Once you give the eye drops to the Goron he will give you a claim check. Use sun song to skip 3 days time. At the third rooster crow, talk to him again, and you'll get the completed, unbreakable sword. It has a massive reach, and bigger damage than master sword. Plus just looks cool.
Honestly it's no surprise you thought it was useless. Most people don't even know about this even this long after the game was released. I ocassionly do 100% runs of the game just for fun and make sure I still know where everything is, so of course I do know it. Gotta know it to 100% the game. Currently I've been learning BOTW, but there's just so much to memorize lol, nothing like ,OoT. So I can't 100% it yet, at least not without following a RUclips guide.
That's a different sword altogether, it's the Biggoron's sword. The one you get by 200 rupees is the Giant's Knife
so combineing the items on this together with the different versions of said items that are basically the same thing form both games (like other cool late/end game power-ups for the items simalr to the mirror shield) and you have a good part of the zelda items. The only ones that are not listed as useless are the early-mid game battle items or important game mechanic items like the ocarina
One I didn't expect to be usless in breath of the wild was the master sword. It's power lv is 30. By the time I got it all my weapons were 60. I took the fastest route too
True but it does 60 where it counts and it doesn’t break 5 minutes after you pick it up.
@@doomsday2703 I'm new too the game got to 3rd beast and I just noticed that
@@derekmccluskey4931 Yeah no worries. It makes wrecking guardians a cakewalk. It occasionally requires a recharge for about 10 minutes but it thankfully otherwise never breaks. Plus it’s pretty much one of the best single bladed swords. Most that deal higher damage tend to break easily. Obviously a lot of two-handed weapons do more damage but you can’t use a shield with them and they’re slower. There are a lot of trade-offs.
Should've added the Book of Mudora from LTTP, only two mandatory uses for it (Desert Palace and Tempest Medallion), and after that, it doesn't do anything viable. They had an opportunity to make it a really good lore item, but missed out on it.
Every weapon in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom hate it that they got broken all the time!
Illa's Charm isnt useless lmao. Ive used that so much going for 100%.
Also I lovehow you included the sand rod, but you dont include the sceptre from TP. Its useless outside of the dungeon other than 3-4 hearts. Aaaand the dungeon itself is skipable so its entirely possible to just not even get it.
Another thing that adds to the Telescopes uselessness is the Picto Box has the EXACT SAME abilities to zoom in on far targets. The Picto Box should have replaced the Telescope since they're basically the same thing.
Don't waste 200 rupees on the Giant's Knife, buy the Blue Fire instead and unfreeze King Zora! Then after getting Epona, go through the trade quest and get the Biggoron Sword!!!
What about the Tingle Bottle from Wind Waker HD, it just sits in your inventory because Miiverse shut down and you can't get rid of it.
You forgot the Deku Nuts in Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.
To MojoPlays, I want to let you know there's actually a useless item you forgot to go over. It's the Deku Nut, what it does is it stuns enemies for a few seconds and that's it. I never liked the Deku Nuts, and I usually don't use them in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask since I can use Deku Stick and Slingshot which is much more useful.
Also, the bug in a bottle is useless in Majora's Mask. The Ice arrows in Ocarina of Time aren't required and is just for fun to attack enemies but not practical. I also hardly use Farore's Wind and I never bother with the Giants Knife.
Deku nuts have several legit uses if you experiment.
1) instantly kill/disarm deku merchants and scrubs (no shield required)
2) check ground for holes (Well, Shadow Temple)
3) look like Sheik/badass
4) generally, quickly stunning enemies with a huge blast radius is handy.
How did you mention the golden gauntlets but miss the dominion rod, only used in half a dungeon and to unlock the next one
Another one: Nayru's Love from Ocarina of Time
It's a shield that protects you from any harm for a limited time. But by the time you actually get it, you're almost at the end of the game and have a lot of hearts. It's easy to forget you even have it, because you're used to toughing through all your challenges by now.
On top of that, you can’t use anything that requires magic power while it’s going on, so if you need to use the Lens of Truth, you’ll have to wait.
Dude. I used that charm all the time.
The Couple’s Mask from Majora’s Mask. Hours of work, repetition and trying to look up walkthroughs during the dark ages (dial up internet, at the time) for nothing more than a measly heart piece. 😱😭🤬
I remember getting MM for Christmas, definitely no dial up internet at that time lol.
The Giant's Knife is still more useful than most weapons in BOTW. As in you can still use it after it breaks, and has more durability than most weapons in BOTW.
I think I got more use out of Ilia's Charm than either the Dominion Rod OR the Spinner. I know each is very important within the dungeon you get them; you need them just to get around on the tracks of the Arbiter's Grounds, or through the doors of the Temple of Time, but apart from those, neither is particularly useful in the world, as a whole.
I think one item for me was the Book of Mudora. They never explained why this ancient, sacred text is in certain places, or why this holy book of translations just happens to be there. When I was planning to run Zelda d20 Adventures, I actually intended to make it a magical spellbook, just to give it some more flair.
Tbf the BoM also gets you access to the three medallions so that you can wreck enemies onscreen.
It looks like for a lot of these items they suddenly thought oh yeah we can make an item that helps with that but thought about it after they already made all the dungeons before it and all the other items you got before that therefore making it useless but still putting it in the game so that you'd feel like you were accomplishing something else by doing some lame side quest for it. 😂
The big Gordon sword can be permanently upgraded.
which is not "useless"
I find that twilight princess was the one game I never really explored very well since being in wolf form and using the sense ability darkens the screen.
What are you saying? the giant's knife is the best as it gives you biggoron sword without needing to do the quest
can confirm!
The quest is better
What I'm hearing is, you can't get the eye drops to the big Goron fast enough so you have to buy your way in instead.
Well I like the shove, digging in the ground doesn’t seem like a bad idea
What did Osfala even hope to accomplish with the Sand Rod in the Eastern Palace?
Whoever came up with the Giant’s Knife is a troll
How could you forget the Rupoors? I never really used Deku nuts in Ocarina of Time. The spinner in Twilight Princes is very cool but only has limited places it can be used. Maybe there could be a video of items with tue most wasted potential. I would include the Giants Mask from Majora's mask on that list.
The Deku Nuts are a criminally underrated item, given the amount of use you can actually get from them. They can instantly reveal Poes, when they go invisible (including the Poe Sisters), they can stun Gohma instantly, they can destroy Shaboms instantly, they can stun Biris so that you can vertical slash them without getting zapped, etc. It wasn't until later in life that I realized how useful Deku Nuts actually are.
@@ShadowSora8491 Same. I use them quite religiously now vs when I was a kid.
@@NintendoSunnyDee They really are just that good, especially if you find the inventory upgrades for them, which will allow you to carry 40 of them (with both upgrades), as opposed to 20.
I've payed for a lot of potions by finding rupees with the shovel.
Kind of a dumb list since many of these are perhaps under utilized, not useless (like the shovel, which is an essential item in vanilla alttp). I would put mirror shield and red mail from alttp on the list. You get both too late and all the mirror shield gimmicks can easily be bypassed without it.
The mirror shield 🛡 is easily best item in game you are smoked out for hating.
The gorgon sword is lethal able to cut 4 hearts jump slash the master sword does 1-2 the big knife does 2-4
Sure, they could have just left the bait out, but then they could have just left out the bosses on all the levels and just let you walk straight to the treasure every time too, but they didn't. Why? Because, it's something you have to do to move forward in the game.
Cane of Byrna in ALTTP
Uh. The magic book from TLOZ. Makes the magic wand worse by slowing its attack rate just to make it flam at the end. 1. Item to avoid.
Like half of these items are REQUIRED to beat their respective games. Hardly useless…..
true
Giants Mask in MM pissed me off because I could only use it on twinmold similar to how you can only use fierce deity mask in MM majoras mask had a lot of useless mask that at the end of the game it was easy to decide which mask to use when deciding with the skull kid for the fierce deity
Ok for everyone saying there's a quest to get the giants knife fixed you're wrong it's the big goron sword it's a totally different sword.
The giant's knife is OP in OOT 3D, as you can repair it.
true
ive beaten that game twice and memorised every item
What about the Ice Arrows from Ocarina of Time?
What about the dominion rod?
Everything in botw since everything breaks and you have to keep crafting new weapons
You can fix the giants knife with the second trading game.
Another useless item is the tree branch which when you first play breath of the wild you pick up the tree branch and it immediately breaks
You know you could reforge the Giants Knife don't you?
The broken sword is literally one of the most useful items... goes to show you don't know how to get the real giants knife
What about the Iron Nugget in Subrosia in Orcale of Seasons? You get this stuff Just for a few minutes, but its main purpose is to be useless. So shouldnt it be #1?
I don't think the writers of this video understand what upgrades are...
You can fix the Goron sword tho and you didn't mention that about oot??
Shovel should have been #1. Unless they let you use it as a weapon too.
Ice arrows in OoT? What was the point?
