I loved the Beetle, it was such a versatile and useful item, and I love the concept in general. You use it constantly throughout the game, too, which is always a plus, especially considering how early on you obtain it.
I also like it that you can use it for a sort of "recon" if you want to find out what's on a high ledge or off in the distance.!
This. I probably used it to scout locations just as much as I used it to grab items and cut tethers.
The bow and arrow is always fun with it's stealth and sniper uses. Taking out an enemy or hitting a target from far distances with one pin-point shot is constantly satisfying. I also liked the new versatility for bombs in SS, the ways you could harvest them, roll them, pick one back up even with the fuse lit, and of course, drop them with the Beetle.
I noticed no one voted for the Fireshield Earrings, but I really like them a lot.:xd: I have a bit of a strange fascination with ear piercings, and have always enjoyed that aspect of Link's character design, while simultaneously wondering if there was any particular reason for the blue hoops we see him wear in the modern games. When I received the Fireshield Earrings in my first playthrough, I got really excited because they were functional and had a purpose (despite that the function wasn't particularly impressive...but oh well.) Not to mention, I kind of flipped out, because they pretty much look like normal sized, red versions of a pair of earrings I've been wearing for a year now, spiky bits and all. So yeah, I'm sorta biased on that one >.>
I didn't really care much for the Mogma Mitts.. Digging was okay I guess.. Tunneling was a cool concept, I'll admit, but it didn't really add much for me. I certainly didn't think any of the items were outright
bad though.
