Ninja Gaiden is the sole reason a bunch of us hold on to the useless starter weapon in video games. Because what if - what if - it's secretly the best weapon in the entire game?
There's a 99% chance it isn't, but thanks to Ninja Gaiden's wooden sword, we're all too paranoid not to hang onto it.
That's because the useless wooden sword can be upgraded to the unstoppable Unlabored Flawlessness.
Unfortunately, Ninja Gaiden is one of the most difficult games ever. So while you're investing all of your resources into upgrading the wooden sword, you're noticeably NOT upgrading any of the actually useful weapons, making the game even more challenging.
But it's for exactly that reason that the Unlabored Flawlessness is one of the best unlockable weapons ever: it's actually useful in the game. No need to already beat every one of its challenges; simply obtaining this oar-shaped demon blade is in itself a significant challenge worthy of reward - a reward you can use for the rest of the game.
