5 Least Useful Items In The Legend Of Zelda Series

5. The Slingshot - Twilight Princess

The Slingshot is a staple of ‘Zelda’ games. Attaining the slingshot in a ‘Zelda’ game opens up Link's ability to defend himself as well as get through certain puzzles. In other 'Zelda' games, the Slingshot continues to aid Link throughout his adventure after he initially recieves it.

Twilight Princess does away with this, however, as the Slingshot gets replaced a couple dungeons after receiving it by the far superior Hero’s Bow. The Hero’s Bow not only shoots further than the Slingshot but also has a higher damage output. There’s something to be said about Link’s age while using the Slingshot. If Link uses the Slingshot as a child, it’s one of the best weapons in his arsenal.

However, if Link uses the Slingshot as an adult, like in Twilight Princess, he’s essentially fighting world-ending monsters with a children’s toy.
