What's the most iconic weapon in gaming?

Nicolas NgMar 24, 2021, 2:47 PM

The Assault Rifle from Halo is a weapon that will always linger in my imagination simply from how much I used it.

Fire Flower of course. You can shoot fireballs and it's the ultimate equalizer in Super Mario Bros. I always liked using the Fire Flower the most in any Mario game.

I...didn't realise that a flower counts a weapon but that does make sense!

What a great question. I would say the master sword, instantly recognisable and the perfect Bokogoblin slayer.

Hmmmmmm this is a good question. For ME the most iconic is this:

I used to own this buster sword in it's full-length, full metal, 30-40 pound glory. I used to collect swords like this

But I'm a weeb so that only applies to me. For the general gaming audience, since Mario is arguably the largest gaming icon ever, for the industry I'd either second Jeffrey's answer or go with the Koopa shell 😄
