Link's Main Weapons and Items

Link has a wide variety of weapons.  Here are what I've found:


Sword

In every Zelda game Link has a sword (though in the first Legend of Zelda game, if you don't go in the first Old Man's cave, I think you can go through the game without a sword).  Link is normally associated with the Master Sword, but there are many different swords Link has used in games.



Boomerang
Another weapon that is very consistent in the Zelda series is the Boomerang.  It is useful for many things: stunning enemies, hitting thing that are out of your reach, and even using wind to move things.  One boomerang even has a name: the Gale Boomerang.  The Gale Boomerang uses wind to move things.


Bomb Bag (Bombs)

Another Zelda consistent are Bombs, though sometimes they are annoying.  This is because in some Zelda games it takes SOOOOOO long to find the Bomb Bag.  There isn't much to say about this one because they have one purpose: blow stuff up!


Bow And Arrows

The Bow and Arrows don't have a lot of purposes.  They are used to shoot people and things out of your reach. That is about it.


The Shield

One thing I know is in every Zelda game is the Shield.  You normally have to get it except for in Phantom Hourglass, you can leave the first island without it.  Sometimes you press a button to block or just carry it. Some shields can't be near fire or they will burn up!


Bottles

The Bottle is an item, but is a main part of the games.  You can store so many different things in it: Milk, bugs, honey etc., even blue fire!!


Lantern

Another item is the Lantern.  The Lantern is used to light your way, but it only has a certain amount of fuel. It can also be used to light certain lamps.


Link has other things but they are not super important.  I will write about other items though soon.
