Specialty Items

Has there ever been a game you enjoyed where discovering new and exotic weapons was just a lot of fun? Then using those weapons to kill baddies and showing them who’s boss! Then going to the next dungeon or castle or cave and finding out… hmm. That weapon actually sucks in here. Specialty items in games like The Legend of Zelda or even Mega Man are weapons the character goes on a quest to find, uses them in that one area, then finds out that the weapon is practically useless throughout the rest of the game. It stinks, actually. To know that journey to collect that really cool slingshot only worked for the Deku Tree and never had to be used again. It feels like a large waste of time, really.
