Mixing Items

The ball and chain and the latern... pretty much everything with the lanturn would be awesome... except for bombs... WAIT!!! When you get bombs in the game, you need an outside fire source to explode them, so if theres some monster that shoots fire, thats how you detonate the bomb, with the lantern, you get detonate it wherever you want, good idea right?

...Or, we could just keep the standard way of placing bombs that have somehow been lit. Also, that doesn't really fit in because items in Zelda need to help you somehow and not give you a disadvantage. The swords are exceptions. If you have bombs but no way of detonating them unless fire is nearby, that's going to kind of detract the fun of just picking explosives out of enemy corpses and having Link toss them at annoying/ugly NPCs (if only bombs were in AoL) without the trouble of having to light them.

ya true that... but maybe theres a bomb upgrade where you dont have to do that? Link should be able to have dual swords, that would be cool, the nunchuck and the wii remote, that could be for the ninja tower dungeon!!! haha, but still... what else would be cool?

I think this would be a great idea - but there has to be a limit on it. I think it would take away if you could just combine any items. There should be a reason behind it, and it should serve an actual purpose.

And what is with everyone's obsession with fire? I'm not great with ideas, but you'd need more than just things that light on fire. That would kind of take away from the whole thing, I think.

Flying whilst slashing and shooting is a start. Ninjas and dual blades cannot fit into the Zelda Universe. Firstly, Zelda is a western setting medieval game with some asian mythology, not eastern ninjitsu age weaponry. Also the bomb upgrade that doesn't need lighting is ridiculous because you might as well just have kept the traditional "set-the-bomb-there-it's-already-lit" bomb.

Here's a cool idea: Farore's Wind and arrows would make a speedier arrow that could very well pierce through multiple targets. Another good idea would be only fit for a side-scroller, but how about farore's wind and the boots? It would act as sort of a speed booster like the one from Super Metroid. Just dash for 3 seconds and just become a godspeed flash across the screen running through walls and enemies.

how bout the farores wind is that there special portal stones that hang on walls, you shoot it just right wi th farores arrow, and then it gets sucked into the portal and shoots out the corresponding portal, hitting a switch
