We can’t speak for everyone, obviously, but we’re pretty darn sure most of you have missed this formidable Legend of Zelda weapon.
Given how old this retro experience is, we tend to assume we know all – we’ve had years to play it, after all.
However,Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Timeplayers are discovering (the hard way) how wrong such assumptions can be.

If you thought a previous25-year-old secretwe revealed blew your minds, wait until you read about this one.
During a Reddit discussion highlighting all the aspects ofOcarina of Timeyou may not know, it was revealed that a simple throwaway item has power.Realpower. As in, “Master-Swordish” levels.

What is this invaluable weapon, we hear you ask – it’s none other than a Deku stick. No, seriously.
“This is for reals, the Deku Sticks are actually pretty strong,” explained Denana. Another user then added how Deku sticks roughly do the “same amount of damage" as the jump slash move.

Apparently, it’s one of the “most powerful” weapons little Link (aka child Link) can use; for context, the Kokiri sword only “does two damage”, whereas a Deku stick does four “or something like that”.
Redditor mauvaiseacrylic remarked, “My life has been fundamentally changed today." Us too, buddy, us too.
We’re grateful to learn this secret, of course, but it would have been nice to know it back when we were playing the game for the first time.
Oh, Link, forgive us, for we have failed you!
