ITEM PLACEMENTS

**X-3** · 04-10-2011, 06:08 PM

What items do you generally like to place on your buttons, and where do you like to place them?

Zelda: Boomerang on B (EDIT: wait, I think I started using the Magic Wand later on)
LttP: Hookshot on A
OoT: Bow on Bottom C-Button, Hookshot on Right C-Button. I don't think I've ever had something set in stone for the Left C-Button.
MM: Same as OoT. I like to keep the Bunny Hood on the Left C-Button.
LA/OoS/OoA: Sword on B, Roc's Feather (or Cape) on A.
WW: It's been awhile since I played though Wind Waker. I'll probably follow what I did in the N64 Zeldas next time I play. (EDIT: But with Boomerang replacing Hookshot for a majority of the game)
TP: Clawshot(s) on B, Ball and Chain on Left Control Pad, Bow on Bottom Control Pad, Gale Boomerang on Right Control Pad.

In LoZ, I always had the Boomerang assigned to B whenever I wasn't using anything else. I think I did the same for LttP.

In the 3D games, I typically have the bow in one of the item slots. In OoT, MM, and WW, I'd always have the Ocarina of Time/Wind Waker in the left slot. In MM, I'd always have the Bunny Hood out as well.

I always had the bow assigned in LoZ and ALttP unless a puzzle called for me to not have fun.

3D games I usually had the Ocarina to C-Down, bow to C-Left, and whatever to C-Right.

TP I never had a set pattern.

In OoT and MM, I always have the Ocarina on C-Right. I usually have my range weapon on C-left, like the bow or boomerang or whatever, and C-down is kind of my "whatever" button.

In WW I always had the baton on Z, range on Y, and whatever on X.

In TP...I forget, I've only played through it twice. I should remedy that.

Gameboy games I always have sword on A and whatever on B.

LttP and LoZ I usually have the boomerang out at all times.

It really just depends on what items I need. In LoZ, for instance, the boomerang is 100% necessary and makes the game playable. In LttP, using the boomerang all the time makes the game too easy.

in WW i always had the sail on z and the WW on y unless i was in a dungeon/something else involving extended periods of time on land.

In OOT and MM i had ocarina on c-right, once again except in dungeons.

in MM usually also had the bunny hood on c-up or c-right.

i kept arrows on me most of the time in all games.

In OoT and MM, I had the bow on left C, hookshot on down C, and variable on right C.

I don't remember what I had for WW or TP.
