Deku Sticks are recurring items in The Legend of Zelda franchise.
Ocarina of Time
In Ocarina of Time, Deku Sticks are long, wooden poles, with a few short branches and a single leaf. The shopkeeper of the Kokiri Shop claims that Deku Sticks are gathered from the Great Deku Tree[1], but they can also be obtained from Deku Babas, Big Deku Babas, and Withered Deku Babas - if Link stuns them, he can cut them while they remain upright to obtain Deku Sticks from their remains. Additionally, Deku Sticks are also found inside of Jars, or they can be bought from shops for 10 Rupees each. Business Scrubs can also be found selling Deku Sticks, but at a slightly increased price of 15 Rupees each.
Deku Sticks can only be used by Young Link. While holding a Deku Stick, the player can light it on fire using a torch, which will then light unlit torches and burn spider webs. They will eventually burn out and break after a short time, although Link can put the Deku Stick away to save it. Additionally, Deku Sticks can be used as weapons - they deal double damage compared to the Kokiri Sword, but will break after one hit.
Link can carry up to 10 Deku Sticks at the beginning of the game, but he can find two upgrades, each raising the capacity by +10, that allow him to carry up to 30 Deku Sticks. Note that both upgrades can only be obtained in the past:
- A Business Scrub under the bridge connecting Kokiri Forest to Hyrule Field will sell Link an upgrade for 40 Rupees.
- If Link enters the Forest Stage while wearing the Skull Mask, the Forest Stage Leader will remark that Link resembles their sacred totem, and rewards him with an upgrade.
Majora's Mask
Deku Sticks return in Majora's Mask, with the same properties as in Ocarina of Time. Link can purchase Deku Sticks from the Trading Post for 10 Rupees, or he can obtain them from Withered Deku Babas.[2]. Unlike in Ocarina of Time, however, Link cannot upgrade his Deku Stick capacity.
In the Stone Tower Temple, a lit Deku Stick will attract Moths.
