So far, two new items have been shown for the upcoming Zelda game, Spirit Tracks, and they both look awesome. The first is some kind of pinwheel which shoots a tornado when you blow into the microphone, which I think is a pretty good use of the DS's features. The second item, just shown at E3, is a Whip which Link weilds Indy-style, hurting enemies and swinging across gaps.
So, what new items do you think would be good for the upcoming game? Got any ideas that utilize the microphone, touch-screen, or dual screen?
I'm the only one who realizes that the "new" fan is essentially the Deku Leaf and the Gust Jar fused together.
Fan: Looks like the new Boomerang. Maybe it'll be as useful as the Grappling Hook from PH.
Whip: Badass. I never thought Link would actually use a whip.
Ranting in 3...2...1...
I don't play the DS too much anymore. Looks like they're trying to transform things they've already incorporated into the games, making it seem like they've added brand new items. In a way they have, but really what we are looking at is a different name of an item that performs the same function. Still, I don't mind the changes. A whip is a nice replacement for the grappling hook, and this fan/pinwheel has a nice function idea. It seems like it'll get a good use out of the DS, which is always good. I'm tired of them releasing titles that make no use of its functions.
And by "hurting enemies", do you mean periodically stunning them? Because I've always wished the hook shot/grappling hook did more then that.
A Keese Boomerang that can be set on fire or ice or something. I think that'd be more funny/lame if anything, though.

He kills a ChuChu with it, so yes, it thankfully works.
And the PH Zoras are back too! So they weren't just a parallel dimension illusion!! My dream of Zoras and Rito existing simultaneously was right!!! (even if they are violent)
So. Link IS indiana jones.
I think they look pretty good. Can't wait to see what comes next.
Sounds like recycled items from other games given new names.
I would really like to see the Ball and Chain make an appearance...
Like you have to spin the stylus to swing the weapon.
