10 WORST Video Game Weapons

6. Tree Branch - Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

Breath of the Wild is a big game, and as such loves to mess with you in various tiny ways. Most people already know the obvious ones, such as the infamous so-called "prize" you receive for getting all of korok seeds, or the downright frightening flower lady who wrecks your sh*t for disrupting her flower garden.

Personally, I think that the first weapon you find in the crushingly difficult first few hours of this game being a simple tree branch should be included in that roster of trolling.

Now, of course, there are other weapons in the great plateau if you know where to look, but there will likely be more than a few enemies between those two points. So you'll have to be content with beating bokoblins to death with a stick that breaks after two or three hits because of course it does, IT IS A STICK!

If you get your hands on enough of them and understand that three hearts is nowhere near enough to handle a lot of the enemies out there and avoid fights until you get better equipment, the tree branch will serve you well enough in a pinch. But I cannot stress this enough, swap it out at the earliest convenience.
