9 Most Useful Items In The Legend Of Zelda Games
6. Flippers In A Link To The Past, Link’s Awakening, The Oracle Games, The Minish Cap, And A Link Between Worlds.
Throughout the ‘Zelda’ games, Link’s ability to swim is inconsistent at best. In one game Link has the ability to swim right off the bat, in the next, he drowns instantly. The Flippers, or Zora Flippers, are an item that allows the user to traverse deep waters that previously would’ve caused Link to sleep with the fishes.
While saving Link from dying is a good start in terms of an item’s usefulness, like the Longshot, the real value of the Flippers comes from the fact that it allows Link to get to places he couldn’t before. The Flippers also represent peace of mind seeing as the player can now throw Link into any body of water without consequence.
The Flippers' greatness is also paired with the fact that the Flippers are instantly equipped after being received.
