'''Deku Sticks''' are items that appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'' and their [[Nintendo 3DS]] remakes. They are the long, dried-up stalks of a [[Deku Baba]], although they directly resemble a wooden branch. Their main purpose is to light up [[torch]]es and other flammable objects, such as spider webs.

Deku Sticks can also be used as a weapon, although they are usually ineffective because they break just after striking at an object or enemy. Link can assign the Deku Stick to one of the C buttons (or X, Y, I, and II in the 3DS remakes), and Link can ignite the tip of a Deku Stick if it touches fire. The fire quickly wears out from a Deku Stick, after a couple of seconds, which causes Link to lose the stick. Link must often quickly move the Deku Stick to an unlit torch before this occurs. To prevent an ignited Deku Stick from dying out, Link can return the Deku Stick in his [[Inventory]].

The main method for Link to obtain a Deku Stick is by slashing his Kokiri Sword at a Deku Baba while it stands straight up. In both games, Link can also purchase some Deku Sticks at some locations.

===''The Legend of Zelda'' series===
====''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''====

In their debut appearance, Deku Sticks are one of the first items that Link can obtain. Aside from obtaining them through normal means, Link can buy Deku Sticks at the [[Kokiri Shop]] for ten [[Rupee]]s apiece. According to the description, these sticks were acquired from the [[Great Deku Tree]]. Later on in his adventure, Link can also buy a Deku Stick from some [[Business Scrub]]s at a higher price of 15 rupees. 

By default, Link can only carry up to ten Deku Sticks. However, he can increase this total to 30 through either one of two methods: by paying 40 rupees to a Business Scrub in the [[Forbidden Woods]] or by wearing the [[Skull Mask]] in the [[Forest Stage]] area. Link can only use Deku Sticks as a child. As an adult, Link can use [[Fire Arrow]]s or [[Din's Fire]] as a replacement for lighting torches.

====''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask''====
{{Stub|section=yes}}
Deku Sticks have a very similar role in the sequel, ''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask''. Link can also purchase a Deku Sticks at the [[Trading Post]] for ten Rupees apiece.

===''Hyrule Warriors''===
In ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'', the Deku Stick is one of the [[Item Card]]s in the [[Majora's Mask Pack]], as part of the [[Termina Map]] in [[Adventure Mode]].
