I used them for animation in earlier versions of ZC before animating combos where added.

If they do nothing why are they there?

I don't know why they where originally added, but they are useful for some things. They can be used for a fake item, that can be used to trick people, they can be used for animation. I think they might also be used for fake Boss Keys.

But even using them for boss keys is going to be obsolete, due to boss doors/keys getting added. But you can have them as a 'pass to enter [name of place here]' because then the shop dissappears and you can go up.

That's all they were for.

I don't think they were meant to be used for animation originally. I think I was the first one to use them for that. They were probably meant to be used as fake items or something like that.

Well, I saw them used in shops to trick people, but that's about it. Oh, and VEL, you weren't the first, PrinceMSC was (how do you think he did the owl, old man, ect in R2) 😛.

Well I was doing it before he registered here. I started using them in late 2000, and he registered in 2001 (I checked the date of the .qst file I used them in). Maybe he was using them before he registered, I don't know. It doesn't really matter to me anyway.

VEL, he mentioned R2. This was not his original one. R2 was released in late 2001, I believe.

His first didn't feature such animation.

I don't really play quests anyone else makes, but that is what I've heard. I remember hearing people talk about the things he did, like the old man (wasn't there also a fish that jumped out of the water?) and I knew exactly how he did it, since I did it before. One of the quests I made that used the misc items was "Mario's Insane Rampage" I used them for the flags and various animals, but since there where only 2 misc items I also used some rupees and other items too. At the time lots of people thought I used palette cycling.

One really useful thing to do with them is make one of them invisible. Then you can have a guy that sells just it in a shop, and that makes it so you have to pay each time you want to pass. In my group quest, I made an inn like this (you pay the guy 20 rupees or so and then you can reach the back of the room where the beds are. The beds are covered with fairy fountain flags, so as soon as you step on one, you get completely healed. An effective inn).
