My favorite Zelda boomerang from Wind Waker.
Boomerang: This boldly yellow boomerang is the main dungeon item in the Forbidden Forest, a forest island entirely inside the stump of a once titanic tree. Link can use the boomerang to flip switches, grab items, and stun enemies. While targeting, Link can select up to five targets that the boomerang will fly through before returning to his hand.
This boomerang was gifted to a young hero after they rescued a storm spirit that had been tricked into bondage. The spirit took the shackles that once bound it and reforged them into this bright boomerang. The elemental powers bound within this boomerang allow the thrower to guide the path of the boomerang.
----------
The cartoony visual of this boomerang is the perfect representation of the evocative visual style that Wind Waker brought to the franchise. It doesn’t need the gritty realism of Twilight Princess to have a compelling story. The story is no less epic for having a delightful and wacky visual style.
Be excellent to everyone.
