Use to Confuse Enemies

Using a Muddle Bud in fights is extremely over powered! Simply throw it or attach it to an arrow and hit the toughest and strongest enemy in the fight and inflict confusion upon it! This will let it fight its allies nearby as it will be confused in determining which are ally or foe.

Ideally, it would be better if the muddle bud's clouds comes into contact with groups of enemies so that they will fight each other until the effect wears off. This would be possible when fighting Bokoblins with a Bokoblin Boss.
