The "Enemy Bait" item was required in three of The Legend of Zelda's dungeons, to get past hungry Goriyas like this one. As an aside, that's one of the least intuitive puzzles we can think of, and we have no idea how we ever got through it the first time.
But the Enemy Bait was sold (by the "BUY SOMETHIN' WILL YA?" guy and his friend, the "BOY, THIS IS REALLY EXPENSIVE!" guy) primarily as a means of diverting enemies during a fight. Our question: have any of you ever used Enemy Bait for that purpose? Did you even consider using Enemy Bait in the overworld? Was it useful?

haha, nope. Just carried one around thinking it was food. Eventually I got there and moved him aside.

I remember this so well! It was the first time I got really, really stuck in a video game and it took me about a week to figure it out. I remember running up to my dad and yelling, "HE'S HUNGRY!" My dad was also playing and also stuck. We were so excited to have figured it out.
I think those little memories are why the original still claims the top spot for me.

I used it a couple of times to see how it worked. And I think I used it in a dungeon for its intended purpose because I was low on hearts and didn't want to die. And on a completely different note, I still say Zelda 2 is the hardest Zelda game to date.

I beat Zelda for the first time recently (I swear the game's only hard because of lack of Diagonal movement...) and no, I can't say I ever used the food as a bait.
Having to leave that dungeon JUST to get that food is a real piss-take though, I can't think of any other Zelda games that did that.
