Well, we currently don't know what all of the items are, so we can't do that yet.  The other 3 sound good, though!

I think it should be more like this:

-Should not only have the sword, but placeholders for the rest of the items that the player will acquire.

As much as we don't know the items, we can put placeholder images. We don't have to have a use for each item, but we can at least put in the images to space out the menu/make sure it's properly formatted.

Don't listen to her, she's Canadian!

I don't think placeholders should really be done, either, as we don't actually know how many items will be used. The design (and thus, implementation) of the menus will be greatly influenced by the selection of items, so focusing on creating an inventory system that will just be completely changed later on won't do too much good. As far as items are concerned, initial focus should be on creating functionality (which can have placeholders without fear of a complete redesign), simply mapped to buttons that won't end up being used as such in the game to test functionality of different item archetypes (such as thrown, swung, and conditional-use items) until the item selection and designs are finalized.

For example: In a basic engine test, we might map the 'I' key to test a thrown weapon prototype (such as a boomerang), 'O' to test a spell prototype, and 'P' to test a special item, such as an instrument system (Ocarina/harp/whatever).

There's such a double standard about religion in the modern world. Catholics can gather, wear white robes, and say "In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti" and be considered normal.

But if my friends and I gather, wear black robes, and say  "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn", we're considered cultists.

Well, we know the general functionality of a Zelda menu, so creating a prototype to test so said functionality with a few placeholders here and there shouldn't be a problem.

Made my day :P

I think it's good to assume we'll have the following items
-Bombs
-Boomerang
-Bow
-Bottles

The four B's!
