Wouldn't shuriken be a cool item in a Zelda game? Like more damage than the boomerang and a regular arrow, thrown like the boomerang and you have to have stock like arrows.

I don't like the idea of ninja weapons in Zelda games... you can guess why!

*Shuriken.

And, no. They're too un-Zeldaish. If you notice, 95% of all Zelda items are either a) Medieval or themed to the game (e.g. sea themed for WW)  or b) magic.

Shuriken are neither.

I guess no one checks out my fangame. It has a lot of new and unique items, but we haven't revealed a lot of them.

1. Bombs the style of Zelda are vaguely historically themed. Especially with the fuse style of the bomb...
2. There's no way you can explain the hookshot without saying "magic" at some point. Also, they're vaguely medieval styled in terms of aesthetics, even if not the functional properties.

Hmm, I suppose that the Tingle Tuner is a bit modern :(. Anyway, to all mods viewing this topic: please do not lock this for spam or off-topicness. This is a good discussion at the moment!

Oh, and does the Bombchu fall under magic or alive :-X?

Zelda =/= medivil.

That would be cool, but I don't think I could see much of a use for them, unless they replaced arrows entirely for one game(I'm getting sick of seeing them in each game, and they didn't even seem to fit in that one dungeon in TP.  I was totally expecting the Clawshot, but no, I get a rehash of an item!).

It's explained when you get the spinner that it's magic - it actually floats above the ground.

EDIT: The ball and chain is actually somewhat vaguely medieval...

woot, torture..
Explaination of items:
Ocarina - The aztecs created this instrument(In real life)...(I did a project about them) and then a secret scotish group stole them from the aztecs..
~In the game, it was a magical instrument that can control time...
Deku Nut- Normal magic nut, can paralyze or blind people.
Megaton Hammer - (I unno where this came from)
in the game, it was created by the goron tribe to be used for the hero to kill the dragon that dwells inside the death mountain crater.
Compass - Doesn't sound ancienty to me... but has some magical content to it..
In the game it is used to naviagate the chests and your place, along with the dungeon map..

I thought there were multiple origin points for the single instrument known today as the ocarina? I recall something about a seperate, similar evolution of the instrument in Europe, seperate from the south American creation of it...

Hmm, do you perhaps mean Mountain Ocarinas? http://www.mountainocarinas.com/index.htm. Oh, wait, that says Latin American... hmm.
