As is, SS bow is definitively the best item in the series. The bow being able to do massive damage and being a legitimate weapon and being able to C draw it and be feel like an actual archer was amazing.
The bow is great, but it's not with you for much of the game. The Beetle is with you from the beginning and is used in just about every dungeon, if not every area. The first mandatory upgrade reinvented the item, and the two optional ones turned it into a total beast. It's clear that more time went into developing the Beetle than any of Link's other gadgets sans the sword. Also, I actually never had any problems steering the Beetle with motion controls, whereas I sometimes did with the bow. Regardless, I think all the items were great besides the Gust Bellows. Even the Bug Net managed to be fun somehow.
