Daily Debate: Which of Link’s Items Would Be On Your Christmas List?
Posted on December 08 2021 by Chakell Herbert
Through Link’s adventures, we see him use a plethora of weapons, magical wands and potions, and that one time when he used like twenty different masks that all gave him a different ability. It was a phase. Regardless of the game, after all of his dungeon crawling and puzzle solving, he has quite the inventory! But which one of his items would you want to have in real life? Sure, most of us aren’t out and about slaying monsters, but surely you’ve thought about how awesome it would be to have something of Link’s, right? I can’t be the only one!
If Santa asked me what I wanted for Christmas, and could pick from Link’s collection, I could narrow it down to a top five. First, the Spinner from Twilight Princess would be an absolute blast to use (if I had the coordination to stay on it, which seems unlikely). Next, the double Clawshots would be pretty fantastic for scaling buildings. Third, the Sheikah Slate could make for some pretty entertaining hobbies with its Stasis and Magnesis abilities. And don’t forget that built-in motorcycle that can materialize from thin air! Also, the Magic Armor from The Wind Waker, especially if it could also protect me from emotional wounds. But alas. Last but not least, the infamous Ocarina of Time that could help you get a better score on the math test you failed three days ago. Really, the possibilities are endless with that beautiful, blue beauty!
All in all, any of Link’s items would be a dream to receive on Christmas. But what one would be at the top of your wish list? Let me know in the comments!
