Is there such thing as having too many items in your inventory?
I'm debating having 15 regular, non-scripted items (the bow/arrow, boomerang, whistle, hammer, etc.) PLUS an additional 11 SCRIPTED items. Those items are as follows:
-Bombchu: Remote control rat that speeds off in direction link faces & explodes on impact with wall or enemy (can later be upgraded to change direction remotely)
-Dominion Rod: Breathe life into otherwise lifeless statues. Take control of them and even use them to help defeat enemies & solve puzzles.
-Ice Staff: Create ice magic that can freeze water & lava to safely cross. Also traps enemies in ice and extinguishes flames in one shot.
-Thunder Boots: Link jumps into the air and then pounds the ground, shaking the screen and producing lightening bolts that radiate from where he lands (can be upgraded to produce bigger jump, more powerful pound)
-Bombos Medallion: A powerful spell that consumes lots of magic to produce explosions all around Link, doing heavy damage to enemies. An optional item gained only after completing a difficult side quest.
-Invisibility Cloak: Do a quick dash and become invisible for short period of time.
-Shiekah Stone (warp doll): Use once to place it. Use it again and the screen will quickly flash and then Link and the stone switch places.
-Deku Leaf: Shoot forward gusts of wind used to knock back enemies (but doesn't damage them). Also used to power turbines that need some extra oomph to get them started.
-Duel-A-Rang: Shoot two boomerangs at once at 45 degree angles from Link. Does stun enemies but do retrieve items and damage enemies. A fun -and useful - optional item gained as a reward after completing a certain task.
-Sand Wand: Use this to harden piles of sand into blocks that can be pushed to solve puzzles.
-Stop Watch: Stop traps in their tracks for six seconds. (can be upgraded to last longer)
Therefore we have a total of 26 USEABLE items/weapon, not even counting the sword & all equipment items (bomb bags, wallets, etc.) Would probably have 2 in each dungeon, plus a few leftover to find or buy in the overworld. Thoughts???
