The WORST Item in EVERY Zelda Game

[@tracyndiyob162]

i remember the oracle games.(also enjoyed twilight princess for midna & especially best girl telma that i'd love to see in a sequel/option to romance her with how flirty she was to link.:3) would say pictograph till you get the color addition(which is dumb the pictures not counting in the gallery for as fun as collecting figurines in games are to me.) was worse than telescope. love more zelda reviews/can't hide from ff 13 forever.

[@kenterminateddq5311]

Jared, thank you for pointing out every shield and weapon in Breath of the Wild. That's why I didn't understand the hype for BOTW. Tears of the Kingdom was much better because of the fuse ability.

[@jackmcmorrow9397]

Suuuuure it is. You just don't wanna play 13.

[@WinspearUltima]

im watching this on opera gx, also you could play XIII?

[@ThisIsCSDX]

I think I already have it installed even if I don't use it(in the past, it was prone to crash upon bootup after a while), but hey, if it helps the channel, I'll uninstall it and then reinstall it with your link. Also, I didn't know your PC's broken. Hope that gets sorted out soon.

[@DarkenRaul1]

Production quality of 2020s? Like, I liked the video, and agree with the 2010s vibe, but it’s just footage from the games he’s talking about with a voice over. Pretty sure you could get this level of quality back then too lol

​@@TheRoninteam Not going to lie, if he decided to do a collab with James for his FF13 review, I'd click so damn hard that Jared wouldn't walk straight for a week.

[@ellocojoncrazy3270]

I've never understood why people talk shit about the other Clawshot in TP. It makes the gameplay of that item very fun, but nobody complains about the upgrade of The Hookshot in OOT is literally *Exactly the same but it's longer*

[@mr.stoneface7699]

Honestly, that's fair. The Longshot probably gets a pass because it comes just after the coolest mini-boss in the middle of the most infamous dungeon in LoZ history.

[@HarryManchover]

Excatly my thought. I loved the second clawshot in TP but was always disappointed by the longshot in OOT.

[@richardgurney1844]

If anything, the SINGLE clawshot should be the worst item in the game - should've had double from the get go. (Thankfully they learnt from this mistake for Skyward Sword) Double clawshot was awesome! Don't get the hate at all

[@magi-yoshi41]

I think both are disappointing, but the double clawshot at least gives way to a cool boss fight

[@XYGamingRemedyG]

The OoT Long-Hookshot is a cute pickup line The TP Double-Clawshot is sexual harassment

[@rockowlgamer631]

I would've chosen the Dominion Rod for Twilight Princess, due to the fact that you can only use it on statues with holes in their chests, and it requires you to recharge the damn thing manually because Ooccoo doesn't remember the ritual to just recharge right then and there. So, you go across all of Hyrule to find necessary letters for the book you are given by the archeologist and that can take a good half hour to full hour to do.

[@RoseWaltz]

it has been ages since i played the game - do you use it outside of the tower you get it in? i remember loving the sounds it and the stairs made

[@bluestreaker9242]

Oh and while it's not necessarily related to the item in question, but it's hard to ignore the giant cannon in the room: that being there's a chance for a game-breaking bug to occur where you can't progress the game because the dude won't leave the room to allow you to warp the cannon out of it. So after ALL that screwing off to the four corners of the world just to find missing letters of a forgotten alphabet, there's a slim chance it'll amount to NOTHING and having to start the whole game over. Wow...fun... >.>

[@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena]

What about the beyblad-er i mean the spinner? I would argue it's more useless than the rod as you use it about twice maybe 3 or 4 times for 100% as you could just double clawshot instead of using it for the final bit of Zelda's castle

[@Skogurr]

Thanks for the video ProJared. I'm glad you are still around :)

[@concerneddennizen1027]

Considering that you lose all your bombs every time you reset, the Bomb Mask has come in handy more than once.

[@SilverwindWorkshop]

Absolutely this, it's one of my go-to masks so I never have to bother withdrawing rupees to buy bombs when I start a new run lol

[@dvast]

What is this disrespect towards the double clawshot!

[@ellocojoncrazy3270]

Yeah i rolled my eyes so hard.

[@schnek8927]

Just feels like he's desperate for more comments or something with that choice. The dominion rod becomes worthless after it's dungeon, and totally-not-bombchus-but-worse are also in the game.

[@ellocojoncrazy3270]

​@@schnek8927 I feel like they never put those useless bug bombs on these types of Tops because they literally don't remember them.

[@chaosmiles07]

7:08 Wait... YOU CAN USE BOMBCHUS LIKE THAT?! All these years, I've been doing that puzzle the hard way, using the Magic Boomerang to navigate it through the narrow block maze just to hit the switch...

[@ravus9935]

Nah, bro was not cooking with the Twilight Princess choice. The double clawshot is an amazing item that's so fun to use whenever it pops up. City in the Sky uses it in so many fun puzzles, and the Argorak fight is one of my favorites. Who doesn't want to grapple around everywhere like that?

[@DigitalxGamer]

Yeah I'm with you on that one. TP worst pick I thought was pretty easy: Bomblings. Bombchus but weirder.

[@PhineasKSliderVT]

I bet Jared would've had a different opinion if Double Claws was a mid-game item and not something you get in the 3rd-last dungeon in the game.

[@luketaylor9569]

I’m surprised the ice arrows weren’t the worst item in ocarina of time. You had to do a big side quest for them and they aren’t used for anything. At least bombchus can break walls, plus I always liked using them to kill the big moblin in the hallway leading to the forest temple. (Also the blast mask is pretty good, you get it before bombs and if you use your shield while exploding you don’t take any damage.)

[@jaretco6423]

Yeah. The Ice Arrow in OoT is useless. Thank goodness Majora's Mask made it so much better

[@conorb.1901]

Honestly, even the fire arrows aren't very useful in OoT. I think there's one total puzzle that can be done marginally faster if you had them, but it's a puzzle that can be done with normal arrows anyway. I definitely think Wind Waker and Breath of the Wild have the best iterations of the elemental arrows

[@ericb3157]

i ONCE decided i wanted to see what would happen if i shot Ice arrows at that Dragon boss, Volvagia. this was harder than i thought, you NEED the upgraded Hookshot from the Water dungeon to get them, so i had to do the Water dungeon BEFORE the Volcano dungeon! BUT, nothing special happened! what a waste.

[@jaretco6423]

@conorb.1901 Well the Fire Arrow can light up other torches for more goodies & such and they do more damage than your normal arrow.

[@DrDolan2000]

That's a great point. Never got the Ice Arrows before, and I don't think I will anytime soon I hate mazes

[@MetricGuard]

To be fair, the Bomb Mask could be useful if you run out of bombs. Then again, during my recent Majora's Mask playthrough, I *never* ran out of bombs.

[@krauserduke1234]

Exactly this. Thanks to blast mask I had plenty of bombs handy in moments where I needed several (which was very rare).

[@Junos2011]

You are only happy about the blast mask if you play a Majoras Mask randomizer and have no bombs. And people who do Speedruns love the Bombchus.

[@schwarzerritter5724]

You lose all bombs every time you turn back time.

[@MetricGuard]

​@@schwarzerritter5724 Good point; some players may forget to cut down the Termina Field grass. However, this would also leave the player with a lack of arrows, so in practice, the player will probably head back to violate vegetation for ammunition before encountering a scenario that demands explosives.

[@yakomo84]

15:22 *hearty chuckle*

[@TehLucario]

I will still say in the original version of Majora’s Mask, the Circus Leader’s Mask is the most useless item. Aside from fodder to get the Fierce Diety’s mask, its only use is to stop the Gorman brothers from attacking you when you’re escorting the milk from Romani’s Ranch to Clock Town… but to even get the mask you need to have done that already. Meaning it’s one use is to make something you’ve done already slightly easier. At least in 3D they add an extra side quest for another bottle. So just falls into the “one and done” pile with many of the other masks.

[@bluestreaker9242]

To be fair, MOST of the masks in Majora's Mask only really have one use for one specific item (usually a Heart Piece), but yeah, hard to ignore just how thoroughly useless & redundant the Circus Leader's Mask is. :/

[@TehLucario]

@ as I said, it is better in 3D cause of the extra bottle.. in a game with the most bottles already but it is a thing you can get with it. Thoroughly the worst mask bar none regardless.

[@bluestreaker9242]

@@TehLucario I suppose, yeah. Though, hot take, the Couple's Mask is worse; look I love the Kafei/Anju sidequest to death, it's tragic, it's wholesome, it's...completely pointless. The Couple's Mask does nothing...literally nothing afaik...aside from give you a Piece of Heart. I get more mileage out of more Bottles, but to only get a Piece of Heart and the mask has literally no functional use aside...? Yeah...kinda dumb, imo... :/

[@TehLucario]

@@bluestreaker9242oh I can’t argue that. But still gives you the heart piece in both versions so that’s still better than nothing.

[@bluestreaker9242]

@@TehLucario I suppose, yeah. Between it and the Circus Leader's Mask, though, the Circus Leader's Mask has an actual functional use, even if said use is redundant. A lot of the masks felt too situational to be of any use, but the fact the Couple's Mask has NO situational use aside from earning a Heart Piece is just...I dunno... A little disappointing after everything you had to go through just to obtain it, ya know? :/

[@HardlyBardly]

The Magic Cape is how you got that Piece of Heart?! I remember trying to clip through that bumper as a kid and never could figure out how to get past it!

[@kyuubinaruto17]

While this is only possible through randomizers or glitching the game, the Cape also lets you walk through the barrier to Agahnim you'd normally need the Master Sword to destroy.

[@solidskullz5736]

The sand rod is pretty cool in the dungeon you need for it, but other than that it’s quite literally useless. Every other item in the game can be used for at least SOMETHING even if only fighting enemies, but the sand rod can’t do that. It’s no wonder that Sage got captured by Yuga in the eastern palace, he couldn’t even use the damn thing

[@Quintingent]

I saw a fan theory that Ravio deliberately rented him the sand rod over any of the other items precisely because its utility was so narrow. Would explain why Ravio was willing to rent it to him at all given his plan.

[@grooves9291]

I like the little cards at the bottom of the screen that have the Item's name when you mention it, very screw-attack esque.

[@apollolux]

Jared _did_ have a show on Screw Attack back in the day after all.

[@Cameytoe]

For the MM entry, I'd argue the Couple's Mask is worse. All that work, meticulous timing, and for what? A single piece of heart

[@skylerfisher4347]

Wait Jared, you could’ve counted Hestu’s gift as the worst BOTW item! It does actually do something in game, but its effect is so difficult to see that a lot of people don’t realize it’s a thing. When you have Hestu’s gift, it makes the weakest enemy types (the red ones, except Lynels obviously because they’re bosses technically) run away from you because you smell bad. The only problem? YOU’RE AT THE END OF THE GAME WHEN YOU GET IT! It is so difficult to find red enemies at the later stages of the game it’s entirely likely that you’d never even see this effect happen unless you literally search for an illusive red enemy

[@havenwhiplash4192]

Wait... Hestu's Gift actually does something!? I thought it was just a useless lump of shit! (It is for the most part, but you know...)

[@MythicMachina]

For BOTW, I thought Cryosis was pretty dumb. You can create a block of ice on water. Cool, I guess, but I feel like there was SO much potential that was lost making it restricted to water. Imagine being able to make instant cover anywhere, or an extra platform for tough climbs. Considering that you only get like four permanent items for the whole damn game, it sucks that one of them is so limited.

[@nightsong81]

OK, but hear me out. The bombchu bowling alley girl... I would conquer Hyrule for her. I don't care that bombchus are dumb. I don't care that bombchu bowling is annoying. She knows it's dumb. She's bored as hell. She's just working an entry level job to make ends meet. We could make it work.

[@Absolute_Zero7]

"Blast Mask and Bombchus are worthless" *Angry Speedrunner Noises*

[@jvts8916]

The Dominion Rod from Twilight Princess, which uses up all its cool features in the dungeon it's found in. After that, it's just owl statues with no attacks. As for a more traditional item for Echoes of Wisdom, the bombs. This is due to their questionnable placement, as they're found after a required bombfish echo that works underwater *and* on land. They can also be upgraded to become bombchus, which are easily overshadowed by the other two weapons' upgrades.

[@cerberus144]

I beat Minish Cap multiple times and didn't even know there WAS a mirror shield until Jared mentioned it in the video. I suppose because after I beat the game I would walk away from it for a while before coming back to start up a NEW file is why.

[@aggressiveprincess7905]

Always nice to see a new Jerd video. Although now I miss Dylan. Still, always nice to see a new video from you.

[@DementisXYZ]

Wind Waker HD: Tingle Bottle. Miiverse poster that replaced the pretty cool tingle tuner rather than utilizing the gamepad in a way to make an even better tingle tuner.

[@EclipseKirby]

I will not accept the slander against the second clawshot. It's fun to use and opens up a lot of interesting movement the single clawshot can't achieve. More to the point though, the Dominion Rod and the Bug Bombs are right there - obviously worse items. If we're counting armors, then the Magic Armor trumps them all

[@bluestreaker9242]

Tbh, I kinda agree with Jared on this one; I feel like it'd have been cooler if it unlocked more combat & mobility options, but as it stands, it's just a clawshot you can use whilst clinging to another surface; if that's all it did, then why was that not a default functionality of the Clawshot to begin with? It's the same problem I have with the Longshot being an upgrade to the Hookshot in OoT...as in...why? Yeah the Dominion Rod's not particularly useful, though the Bug Bombs are...kinda useful; and the Magic Armor...I'm convinced is only really useful for when you need to get rid of some Rupees lining your pockets just to get that one Treasure Chest you missed in a dungeon because this was the only Zelda game where it wouldn't let you take the treasure if you had just too many Rupees (seriously, Red Rupee in a chest, but I have just 19 shy of a full wallet, so I can't take it...why? That's so pointless and stupid!), other than that, though...eh...I could take it or leave it, but it's the side-quest just to get it that makes it so obnoxious. Farming for Rupees...just to get an armor...that uses your hard-earned Rupees...as a shield... K... :/

[@SpiderGansta]

0:37 so THAT’s where that mechanic from BotW came from.

[@dustypirate28]

Not gonna lie, was waiting on the bait & switch for Twilight Princess. Thought your description was leading up to the rebranding of bombchus to bomblings.

[@3abdooogamer734]

He probably forgot bomblings exist lol

[@moonguy456]

I'm so glad someone else had called out the weapon system of Breath of the Wild. Seriously, I'd rather have the giant's knife (as in, it doesn't get removed from your inventory, just turns into a rather pathetic weapon) over any weapon in that game.

[@sega3607]

I probably would have listed the Master Sword as TOTK’s worst item, mostly for how much its mechanics contradict with the lore. It’s stated to get stronger if exposed to sacred light, but despite 10k + years of draconified sacred light, it still breaks, it doesn’t restore its full durability for fusing, and it’s somehow weaker than it was in the previous game.

[@ericb3157]

if i remember, there's just one place in Ocarina of Time where you really need Bombchus. it's in the Light temple, you need to blow a hole in the Ceiling to let light in, so you can use the Mirror shield. or was that in Majora's Mask? i heard that in Breath of the WIld, you can aquire a "fire rod" and an "ice rod". IF you keep your distance, use their magical abilities, and don't literally SMACK enemies with them, then they won't ever break, unlike Bows!

[@professorchance8515]

I'm pretty sure that is only in master quest light temple.

[@kyuubinaruto17]

In Ganon's tower, one of the six paths to break the barrier has a room where it gives you Bombchu's, and you have to use them to hit a switch in the back of the room behind iron bars through a gap at the top of the bars.

[@Role-Playing_Girl]

I think you mean the Spirit Temple, not the light temple.

[@ericb3157]

@Role-Playing_Girl oops, i think you're right.

fishing rod in twilight princess. cuz thats all it does the fish dont do anything for you outside of maybe a heart piece, it distracts ganondorf but that fight isnt particularly hard anyway.

[@SchwubbySwabby]

Don’t you get 2 empty jars from fishing? I know you at least get 1, that alone makes it better than the top or like, the hawk mask.

[@trident042]

I'm absolutely here for the TP Spinner.

[@Transatlantic_Faux]

No no no, Jared. No way!... you re-evaluate. The Double Clawshot might be the coolest item in the whole series (at least one of my ultimate favorites) Being some iron hands, clanking-sound Spiderman is so awesome. It also didn't bother me that I couldn't use it for combat... that was the Magic Armor, that was the coolest looking outfit in maybe the whole series but you can't turn the stupid rupee drain off! I just want to look awesome, dammit. What I think you mean to say for TP is that the SINGLE clawshot is the absolute worst, especially any playthrough after 1st playthrough. Not only do you have to wait a long time in the game to get the double, but it's just agonizing to get that single clawshot slapped in your face and you just hang around all... 1 clawed. (And thanks for the fun video, as always!)

[@Merik2013]

You had me there for a moment with dissing the bomb mask while actively misusing it, only to bait and switch with bombchus again.

[@Joeynator3000]

Eh, I used the Telescope to have an easier time spotting those flock of seagulls. lol

[@SamWickens]

I'm amazed people don't like the Bomb Mask. For me it's up there with the Bunny Hood and the Stone Mask as a fundamental utility mask. You never have to worry about having bombs for something because you can just whip out your shied and blow stuff up without taking damage. Aside from the few cases where you actually need to throw a bomb across a pit it's perfect.

[@larshoremans4348]

The worst items in a Link between Worlds would absolutely be either the super lamp or super net. These are upgrades to the normal lamp and net obtained by clearing the hardest version of the game’s combat gauntlet, the Treacherous Tower, twice in the case of the net. They have eight times the power of the normal version, which from my own testing seems identical to the golden Master Sword. I don’t know which of the two i’d call worse since the net at least has a small spin attack that could technically make it usefull (though it’s to slow for me to see any scenario where this would come into play) and can deflect Yuganon’s magic, but it’s the one obtained through the second run of advanced Treacherous Tower which makes it harder to get than the lamp.

[@Nickle_King]

100% agree with Breath of the Wild's pick. Every weapon, bow, and shield. Such an annoying and pointless addition to the game, it's the reason I haven't finished it. I hate it. And I hate BotW and TotK because of it.

[@ElvenRaptor]

FINALLY! A KINDRED SPIRIT! Agreed entirely.

[@samwiseb2799]

I feel like the item durability feature wouldn’t have been so bad if most of the items weren’t that great at damage wise and the general idea was you had access to those items until a later stage when you got more powerful permeanent items, or if every item broke and there was no permanent items that most of the gear was just generic and didn’t have that “oh wow this sword or bow had this cool feature” The big problem with BOTW durability imo is that it just makes collecting items tedious because collecting sword # 36 or bow #47 even if they have different functions annoying and irritating because I would rather have one decent reliable weapon. Like the only series were durability works is Fire emblem because the main point is inventory management because you control an entire army. It doesn’t work in Zelda because I don’t want to have to constantly manage links inventory that much. Like just give me a good list of reliable weapons and I’m happy.

[@Spirit_of_Yubel]

The Bomb Mask damage can be negated by holding the Shield up. In all honesty, the Bomb Mask kinda makes normal Bombs redundant due to the fact you have an Instant Explosion in your pocket. I don't recount many situations where I needed to use the normal Bombs. Every time I needed to explode something, Bomb Mask. Also, the Oracle duology's Bombchus have an upgraded feature: They Home in on enemies, actually. Place them down, and they beeline for an enemy. So they're useful than in the 3D games. They kinda suffer in that by the time you get them, you probably have only one or two dungeons left, or are already on the Linked Gannon Fight. I'd argue the Biggoron Sword is more useless, as the damage is equal to the Master Sword, but takes up both A/B buttons. You get a wide swing, sure, but I'm already dealing a lot more damage with quicker Master Sword swings anyways, and have the other Button open for items.

Next video, Worst items in Smash Bros. games: Smash 64: Fan Melee: Parasol Brawl: Cracker Launcher Smash 4 forward:... BOMBCHU!!!!!

Though I am in agreement with your accessed value of the "Unfortunate Smoothie", that stuff did save my life a couple of times. Along with the Half of Heart, it also refills a little of the Energy Gauge. The Swordfighter Mode is a life saver at times in Echoes of Wisdom.

[@TheThirdDaySH]

Always nice to see a new vid on the ProJared channel. 👍

[@SchwubbySwabby]

honestly I’m shocked that the Hawkeye wasn’t worst for TP. It’s literally just the telescope in Wind Waker except you have to pay for it.

[@SeniorDankyKang]

The fire hydrant can be used to move around places that are to hot to be in without fire resistant clothes or a Potion. I completely ignored the armour set and collecting the lizards and solely beat the goron quest with a fire hydrant. It was my best friend.

[@timfreborg8759]

The Magic Armor in Twilight Princess. An absurd amount of rupee grinding to get, and even more absurd rupee grind to use.

[@sammerthanyou]

How's the dominion rod gonna not be called out? At least the second clawshot was kinda fun to use, same with the spinner. There's a point where the dominion rod becomes a glorified yo-yo and that's it. No fun skateboard time, no Voldo cosplaying, just a magic tennis ball on a stick that fetches itself. Pour one out for the underrated homies, bombchus too. You use those things right and you can fly with them, what's not to love about that?

In Twilight Princess the horse call/Ilia’s charm is far worse. The 2nd claw shot is functionally useful and fun to use. By the time you get the horse call/Ilia’s charm, you have unlocked almost all the teleport locations anyway. And there is plenty of horse grass to call Epona if you do need her.

The Blast Mask is very useful for when you turn back time and lose all of your bombs. If you want to run somewhere quickly and blow something up without taking the time to collect bombs, it's pretty convenient. You also avoid taking damage by just blocking while using it.

[@raidonothoboi4842]

Is surprising Jared put the double clawshots as the worst! I say it's the fishing rod only needed for two moments, but to actually collect fish as you have a log to jog info of them is pointless. Can't even log the skull fish as they're illegal to fish.

[@DgoneOfficial]

There's one use for the bait you didn't mention, which is that you can use it on the final boss which is really useful when he's invincible.

[@clusterchuck7346]

I agree with breath of the wild. I've never liked the every weapon and item can be broken BS and we're still waiting on final fantasy 13 you got to do it at some point. Jared

[@denabond9613]

People who hate the spinning top in Twilight Princess didn't grow up with Beyblade and don't know how to let it rip.

[@Limpurtikles]

A nice, simple, relatively video about incredibly specific videogame-things. Classic for a reason.

[@RAVENKING26]

Always a good time when a new Jared vid's up. And right when I'm in a Zelda mood too 👀

[@Lumenaus]

banger video. Reminds me of the 1 minute reviews with a little bit more angry energy lol, keep it up and do more of this pls!

[@ODCrab]

That 2nd claw shot wouldn't even be necessary if the 1st one wasn't so awkward to use.

[@JcFerggy]

I'd argue for Ocarina of Time that it was Farore's Wind, but that would be a magic spell.

[@dicyanoacetylene6220]

I can say that I have used the telescope regularly while sailing, and even while wandering about. On a different game, one thing I can say I used only ever once was the Zoni cooking pot. Now, I did technically pull out two in my play-through, the first time being during the ascent to the flying airship. I thought, let me pull out this portable cooking pot that can provide some heat and cook something in it to provide a cold resistance buff so I can swap armor pieces (or something along those lines), and when I found out it provide no heat, I didn't even bother with the cooking part, I just tossed it over the edge and powered on through with what meager cold resist meals I had till I reached the first shrine so I had a return point for when I had better equipment. And because it provided me with nothing, I don't personally count that as a use. The only time I actually did use it was much later in the game, I completed all shrines, lit up the underground, found the tears, explored all the caves, completed all but the last dungeon, and pulled the master sword from Light dragon Zelda's head, and doing final preparations, decided why not use the device I have never gotten a function out of before and pulled out 1 portable pot, cooked 1 gloom recovery meal, and it disappeared. *_WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS THING‽_* A one and done, no heat providing piece of garbage. I can say the hydrant has been more useful than the portable for me, because I have actually pulled them out several times to deal with pools and rivers of lava, saving the throwable water sources for enemy encounters, and sudden fires. I can't say the same for the Zoni portable cooking pot device.

[@professorchance8515]

Are you going to do best/worst games this year?

[@renatocorvaro6924]

It is absolutely not a cop-out to say that every weapon, shield, and bow in BotW/TotK is worthless, because they are. I love those games, but goddamn. Weapon durability is a bad mechanic in every game it exists in.

[@p3k41]

We’re not going to pick the Silver and Gold gauntlets…? The items that make you pick up rocks….. slowly?!

[@ShiivaWilding]

Ocarina of Time has worse items than the bombchus, which are required to beat the game in the final dungeon, whereas deku nuts aren't used for a single puzzle or enemy.

[@anonymousotter6455]

I miss these classic top 10 videos I used to watch from people like you, PBG, and JWittz

[@samwiseb2799]

To me the bomb mask is useful because unlike bombs or bombchus you don’t have to stock up on it, it’s basically a mask that lets you break down walls without having to rely on bombs or you can use it on enemies to damage. It’s not the best mask in the game but imo the couples mask is worse because it’s only used to get a heart piece and that’s it.

[@kid14346]

I thought Jared would bring up how annoying the skitter bomb things were in Twilight Princess. Like Bombchus, but now they are ugly too.
