What were your thoughts of the Ball & Chain item found in Twilight Princess.
I remember when I first saw the mini-boss in the Snowpeak Ruins, it immediately brought back the nostalgia factor as I thought of the Ball and Chain Trooper from A Link to the Past. He was actually one of the more difficult mini-bosses for me the first time through and I actually died a few times. Nevertheless, I remember when I finally defeated him and saw the Ball & Chain there... I was pretty shocked but immediately thought it was awesome.
I liked using it, but like many of the items in Twilight Princess, it seemed underutilized. Granted, unlike the Dominion Rod or the Spinner, you COULD use it wherever you wanted and that was a plus. I thought it was a fun item to use and a great new addition to Link's inventory.
I also love how Link couldn't 'run' while having it out, but he just 'put' it away and it disappears into the rest of his inventory and then Link can run. That's classic Zelda right there, but I think it is most prevalent in this instance.
