Deku Sticks are recurring items from the The Legend of Zelda series. Dried stems of Deku Babas, they can be wielded as simple wooden sticks after killing the Babas. As a child, Link uses Deku Sticks primarily to light torches. They can also be used as weapons, although they typically break after the first hit or when struck against a wall. They are also sold in shops, but for high prices. Deku Sticks are often used to solve puzzles that hinder Link in certain dungeons. Although only a few sticks might be needed throughout a dungeon, having a larger capacity can be useful. The carrying capacity can be increased; in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for example, by buying the ability from a Business Scrub.
Deku Sticks, although breakable, are the strongest weapon in Link's arsenal when wielded as a weapon during his youth, as a stick is twice as strong as his Kokiri Sword.
