* LethalJokeItem:
** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', the final Arena-style sword battle with Ganondorf can be made ridiculously easy by using your fishing rod as one of these. The fishing rod has no practical use in battle, since you normally use it only for fishing, but if you pull it out, Ganondorf will ''stand and stare at the line'' while you wave it around, completely oblivious to the fact that he SHOULD be fighting you. You then quickly whip out your sword and slash at him while he's caught unawares...rinse and repeat, because he never catches on.
** There is also the curious property of bottles in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' and ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'', where you can swing them to [[TennisBoss reflect energy ball attacks in boss battles]].
** This is in turn a reference to ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'', where you could deflect the dark wizard Agahnim's projectiles with the Master Sword...or the Butterfly Net, which was normally just used to catch insects and fairies in bottles. Later games had the bottles themselves do the catching, and deflecting.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening'' has two: the Shovel, which deflects Agahnim's Shadow's projectiles, and the Boomerang, which normally doesn't affect bosses, but ''takes down the final boss [[OneHitKill in one hit]]''.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames'' has the Whimsical Ring. It decreases your attack power... though each swing of your sword has a 1 in 256 chance of causing a OneHitKill to which not even the final boss is immune.
*** In ''Seasons'' some Subrosians steal your Roc's Feather and leave you with an item called the Fool's Ore. All you can do with it is swing it like your sword, which does nothing. However, if you find an enemy to use it on, you can kill it in 1 hit. The only enemy, however, is the Fire Pokey (which you sometimes dig up), and you can't leave the area until you get the Roc's Feather back, which replaces the Fool's Ore.
** Following this trend, in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'' the net you use for catching bugs will also distract [[spoiler:Demise]] during the first half of the battle and not only does it deflect the projectiles he fires in the second half, ''it's the only way to do so''--your shield can only block them and trying to use your sword just gets yourself electrified.
