Please make more shoddy weapons

Recently I remember reading that with the inventory system now as it is you can start adding items "willy nilly" or something to that effect.

Most folks would like more and more OP weapons I'm sure, but I want to go the opposite direction. I'd like to ask you consider making more shoddy weapons, different from each other yet all yielding the general premise of "barely better than nothing".

I personally have grown to like lower-tier options in games, especially if the game lets us bring those lower-tier items into fights against higher-tier characters. One of the reasons my phase of interest in the Zelda franchise waned so quickly is because you can't beat Ganon with a wooden sword; the schtick is the Master Sword is needed to beat him.

For specifics, Two genres, if you will, of things I'd like to try using as weapons are various enemies' limbs- and not impressive limbs like the Queen's launchers, I mean, but mundane severed limbs that launch no projectile and only just barely deliver much damage. I can just imagine poking and sweeping at a strollfiend with a Skelly's shinbone, or smashing a Dragin aside using a severed Dragin limb, or slapping the Creator around with a really thin twig with a browning leaf on it. Each only just doing enough damage to technically justify its choice to be picked up and used instead of having no weapon at all.

i don't really know what you mean by shoddy weapons so I can't give much of my opinion, but your suggestion reminds me of one weapon that was removed back then.

It's the only 'joke weapon' in the game as explained by the page. I kinda hope the weapon gets added back but it can deal like very small damage or something that would make it very fun to use even though it's crap

I remember that thing. I liked waving it around - and was quite disappointed when it turned out not to do any damage. Flails are underrated weapons, especially in computer games, and Juice Galaxy's physics seem like they'd be great for one.

The plunger is off crying in the corner at the sight of this thread.
