The sad thing is, my old college roommate actually did play through the original Zelda (getting all the way to Ganon) without getting a sword. It’s a thing you can actually do! Talk about hard mode. Of course you do need to pick up a few items other than just the “smashing board!”

    I played through Phantom Hourglass & Spirit Tracks without getting a shield. No biggie.

    So what?

    I can kill over a million puppies in under twelve seconds…without a sword.or any sort of weapon.

    I just sort of smile at them.

    That's the sharpest shield I've ever seen.

    WARNING! CHALLENGER APPROACHING!
    Smashboard Link.

    Psh, break that against the nearest hard surface and you've got yourself a new set of brass knuckles.

    Or porcelain knuckles in this case.

    Ultimate source of power my ass.

  8. Dimomarg on November 8th, 2010 5:23 pm

    Spanky Smashy counts as defence… right?

    And thus the legendary Smashing Board was placed in the new Temple of Crushed Bones, after the legendary sword was thrown out. Some say that -like the source of ultimate power- it was thrown into a recycling bin and made a really nice drink can.

    And next you'll tell me that in borderlands you were supposed to get a gun? Hahahahaha I thought the knife and the throwable eagle were the main weapons. No wonder it was so damn hard.

    Oak wont let you leave without one…

    All in favor of Link getting the Smashing Board in Skyward Sword, please say "aye".

    I think Spoonyone said it best.
