If it is your first run or you are aiming for 100%, then it can be very vital. There are quite a few players who are still playing Ocarina of Time as their first Zelda, or perhaps the people who have adapted to the level of ease presented in Twilight Princess, Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit Tracks. In addition, it can be helpful in a few dungeons, such as the Water Temple where you must go through various places and levels in the dungeon.
Another place it can be helpful in is the Fire Temple. I say this because of the chasms with thin paths can be quite easy to fall off of if you are not very experienced with the N64 control stick. I don't get why they removed this feature from Majora's Mask, which offers the ability to leave a dungeon from where you stand. I'm at least glad that they brought Ooccoo in Twilight Princess, where, while the dungeons where much easier, the dungeons had quite a bit of length to them; some of which could not be conquered in one sitting.
So, in short, I don't think it is a useless item. It's helpful for Ocarina of Time n00bs (or Zelda n00bs), and it can also make some dungeons (like the Water Temple) much easier.
