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.

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.

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.

Top 10 Saddest Nintendo Deaths

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.

Ice Arrows in Ocarina of time.

I really like the sand rod, it’s fun in the sand temple and helps reveal over-world secrets.

I remember hating the compass in ALTTP because you've explored most of the dungeon by the time you get it. Gimme my hookshot or whatever cool weapon!

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.

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.

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

The Flameshield Earrings from Skyward Sword. Literally just let you enter the volcano in eldin

I used to get so sad when I was forced to obtain the golden gauntlets. The silver ones matched my mirror shield and the red tunic.

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.

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

You can repair the big Sword in OoT! Ich love the Telescope in WindWaker to looking for new Islands. The Shovel is epic

How did you mention the golden gauntlets but miss the dominion rod, only used in half a dungeon and to unlock the next one

The ice arrows are useful in MM but in OoT they are trash

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 flute from Zelda 2 just one use

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.

i have not played twilight princess personally but with how limited the usage of the charm is i have to ask just how many places can you actually ride epona does this limitation if any have any bearing to the usefulness of the charm

Ice arrows in OoT? What was the point?

I don't think the writers of this video understand what upgrades are...

Well... Mojo just proved how bad they research and actually know about the topics they talk about. Almost every Oot player knows that you can then strengthen the Bigoron Sword and it wont break again... Also the shovel?? You need it to beat Links Awakening and it makes farming muchhh faster 😆 really play the games guys I swear they're fun

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. 😂

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.

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.

You are not a zelda fan if you think the giants knife is useless 🤦‍♂️ you get it, then you break it, then you take it to the brother of his on death mountain

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.

I've payed for a lot of potions by finding rupees with the shovel.

The most "USELESS" of the items link can use...? Even with the explanation that sounds weird

Bee in a Bottle in Link to the Past?

the llia's charm is a really good item like why put this one in

First one sword might be useless but with out it being like that we would have gotten the upgraded big gorons swords

Korok leaf. Useless asf

Bait is not useless if it's a necessary item and you have to have bait to progress in dungeons 7 it's not useless it's the opposite

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%.

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 Giant’s Knife helped me defeat Ganon when I didn’t know that I could use the hammer to hit his tail haha

Giants knife is the best weapon in the game because it let's you beat the hardest boss in the game easily

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.

Most of the masks in Majora's Mask are pretty useless tbh, but most especially the Circus Leader's Mask.

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 like the Biggoron Sword after the trading sequence better in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. It's better than Giant's Knife.

I will never forgive Hestu over 900 Korok seeds…

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

I felt the spinner was more useless from Twilight princess There's only a few niche situations where it's used and then that's it

THE TELESCOPE IN WIND WAKER IS AMAZING WHAT’RE YA’LL TALKING ABOUT I LOVED SPYING ON PEOPLE OR OTHER ISLANDS IT MADE ME FEEL SO PEACEFUL LOL

I think the ice arrow in Ocarina of Time would have the place here too

I thought Ooccoo in Twilight Princess was really useless besides being weird and freaky looking, never needed to leave any of the temples

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.

Now make a list of the most useful zelda items

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

Mask of Scents was also pretty useless.

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.

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

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

The zonai wing glider in Tears of the Kingdom. Why do we need a glider that disappears after 30 seconds of flight

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

The big Gordon sword can be permanently upgraded. which is not "useless"

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!

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.

The slingshot in Skyward sword has basically no use after you get the bow

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.

Um, the broken Goron knife is required to get the Biggoron Sword, so it's just a transitional item...

How are they useless when their in the game

The guy narrating this video sounds like Terrence and Philip and now I can't stop laughing 😂😂😂😂

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.

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

Dude. I used that charm all the time.

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.

Why does it say "Giants Knife" when it's the Biggoron's Sword in Ocarina of Time. Can someone explain that please

Cane of Byrna in ALTTP

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.

What about the dominion rod?

in 5:00 u say that the telescop is useless then the gba u receive to tingle is more usefull wtf

DONT YOU DARE SAY THAT THE GORON SWORD IS BAD.Sure it CAN break but seriously bigoron worked sis ENTIRE LIFE to give it to link

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.

Cool video.

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?

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

Cane of Byrna (blue cane) in Zelda alttp. The Cane of Byrna in an absolutely 100% useless item.

I disagree with the windwaker telescope!! Its great for scouting where the fish who edit your map are jumping around in the area 😊

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.

What about the Ice Arrows from Ocarina of Time?

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 RU-vid guide.

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

Like half of these items are REQUIRED to beat their respective games. Hardly useless…..

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.

Whoever came up with the Giant’s Knife is a troll

The net in ALTTP seems pretty needless. In other games you just catch things in the bottle.

Don't waste your rupees on the hawkeye in twilight Princess your never gonna use it

You can fix the Goron sword tho and you didn't mention that about oot??

I’m surprised the Dominion Rod and Spinner aren’t mentioned.

I always get Farore's Wind but i never use it.😅

Bro the “BeyBlade” from Twilight Princess

Dominion rod? C'mon. That shit is useless outside its dungeon.

Have you even played Zelda? These things aren't useless.
