Enemy Weapon

In The Wind Waker, a Boko Stick is flammable stick that is often wielded by Bokoblins. When Link hits them with a powerful attack or uses his shield when a Bokoblin attacks him, it will make them drop their stick, allowing Link to wield it. Boko Babas will also drop these items upon death. Boko Sticks are very similar to the classic Deku Stick. In some dungeons, Link will have to use these to light torches, burn planks, etc. Link can hit enemies with the Boko Stick and perform the Spin Attack, and when Link is jumping, he can also perform a jump attack.

As with all enemy weapons in The Wind Waker, Link is able to pick up a dropped weapon and use it to attack, but cannot take it with him into a different area.

Trivia

 * When you find Boko Sticks in a pot,and have a nearby torch acessable,you can do a nifty trick. Instead of breaking the pot,pick it up and put it next to the torch without breaking it. The sticks will light,and as long as they are in the pot,they will never go out. As all this does is give more time to light torches,it is not that helpful(Unless you find watching the flame is relaxing.).
