'''Deku Sticks''' are common items appearing in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. They are mostly used for lighting torches and spiderwebs, as they catch fire when put up against a lit torch. They burn out and disappear after a short time, however, so [[Link]] must light whatever he needs before that happens. They can be saved by putting them away before they burn out.  The Deku Stick's second use is the same as the swords; they can kill enemies.  They are more powerful than [[Kokiri Sword|the sword]], but unlike that item, they breakUsually after one hit, or if hit against a wall they will break instantly. They may be found in shops, pots, or after killing a [[Deku Baba]].

{{Quote|You got a Deku Stick! On the Select Item Subscreen, you can set it to {{N64 Left C Button}}, {{N64 Down Button}}, or {{N64 Right C Button}}. Set it to {{N64 C Buttons}} and swing it with {{N64 C Buttons}}! When you want to put it away, stand still and press {{N64 A Button}}. You can carry up to 10 sticks, but don't waste them.|N/A, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''}}
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Deku Sticks are long, wooden poles, with three stubby branches and a single, green leaf hanging from the top stub. [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] can purchase them from the [[Kokiri Shop]] or the [[Bazaar (Ocarina of Time)|Bazaar]] for 10 [[Rupee|Rupees]] each, from [[Business Scrub|Business Scrubs]] for 15 Rupees each, or find them inside [[Jar|Jars]]. Deku Sticks are also dropped by [[Deku Baba|Deku Babas]] if Link defeats them by cutting their stalk. The Deku Sticks sold by the Kokiri Shop claim to be loose branches gathered from the [[Great Deku Tree]].{{ref|OOT|186|[[Kokiri Shop]]}}
 
Deku Sticks can only be used by Young Link. While holding one, Link can light the tip of a Deku Stick using a lit [[Torch]], enabling him to burn webs and light unlit Torches; If lit for too long, the Deku Stick will break and be consumed, though Link can put the Deku Stick away to save it. Alternatively, Deku Sticks can be used as weapons; They deal double damage compared to the [[Kokiri Sword]], but break after one hit.
 
Initially, Link can carry up to 10 Deku Sticks; However, there are two upgrades that increase his capacity by +10 each, to a max of 30. Both upgrades are located in the child era, and can be found [[Ocarina of Time Upgrades#Deku Sticks|here]].

{{Quote|You got a Deku Stick! Set it to {{N64 Left C Button}}, {{N64 Down Button}}, or {{N64 Right C Button}} on the Select Item Screen. Deku Sticks burn well. Pull one out with {{N64 C Buttons}} and press {{N64 C Buttons}} to swing it. You can carry only 10, so use them wisely.|N/A, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''}}
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', Link can purchase Deku Sticks from the [[Trading Post]] for 10 Rupees each, find them inside Jars, or obtain them from Deku Babas.{{Ref|MM|3666|[[Tatl]]}} They function identically to their previous appearance, only Link cannot upgrade his Deku Stick capacity. Holding a lit Deku Stick in the [[Stone Tower Temple]] will attract [[Moth|Moths]].
 
==Other appearances==
{{Non-Canon|section}}
===''Hyrule Warriors''===
In ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'', Deku Sticks appear as an [[Item Card]] on the [[Termina Map]]. They can be used to light torches, revealing hidden enemies.
 
==Nomenclature==
The Japanese name for the Deku Stick, デクの棒 (''Deku no Bou''), is derived from the Japanese idiom 木偶の坊 (''Deku no Bou''). Both phrases have the same pronunciation, but have different spellings and meanings; the latter spelling, 木偶の坊, means "the wooden puppet", a metaphor for an incompetent person. This is referenced in ''Majora's Mask'', where [[Zubora]] calls [[Gabora]] a "Deku Stick" for suggesting they melt the [[Ice]] around their hearth with [[Hot Spring Water]].
 
==Trivia==
*If a [[Butterfly]] lands on a Deku Stick, it will transform into a [[Fairy]].
*Alongside the [[Giant's Knife]], Deku Sticks are the first items in the series that can break after extended use.
*The design of the [[Deku Spear]] in ''Hyrule Warriors'' is based on a Deku Stick.
