Location and Uses

The Legend of Zelda

First appearing in The Legend of Zelda, the Sword can be obtained in a Cave in the very first area of the game. Inside, Link finds an Old Man who tells him to take the Sword because it is dangerous to travel alone. The Sword has two additional color variants which appear when Link wears either the Blue Ring or the Red Ring. The Sword can damage almost every enemy, but it is one of the weakest items in the game. However, the Sword can be replaced by the White Sword and then the Magical Sword, which each deals twice the damage of its predecessor. A Sword that is designed like a rapier is depicted on the Title Display of the game. It is not confirmed to be any of the Swords that can be obtained in the game.

Sword

The sword has four potential levels of power. You can see what level your sword is currently at by looking at the number next ti the sword symbol on your Sub Screen. Your first goal is to obtain the Master Sword, which is power level two.

A Link to the Past & Four Swords Manual Descriptionhide ▲

Sword

There are four levels of power. The damage your sword does increases with each level.

The Fighter's Sword is given to Link by his Uncle along with the Fighter's Shield as he enters Hyrule Castle. Link uses the Fighter's Sword until he obtains the Master Sword.

During the credits, Link's Uncle is shown using the Fighter's Sword again.

Link's Awakening

Link's Awakening Manual Descriptionhide ▲

Sword

This trusty blade is your main weapon. You can use it to attack enemies or cut the grass. Rumor has it that there is a more powerful Sword hidden on Koholint Island.

The Sword in Link's Awakening is the first Sword that Link can obtain. It is from Link's previous adventures and has his name engraved on it. Link finds it on Toronbo Shores shortly after waking up after his crash on Koholint Island. By bringing 20 Secret Seashells to the Seashell Mansion, Link can replace it with the Level 2 Sword.

By holding his Sword out, Link can move while he keeps facing the same direction. If Link then releases his Sword, he will perform a Spin Attack attack, which deals more damage than a regular Sword blow.

Link can also hit walls with his Sword to determine whether or not they can be destroyed using Bombs.

Tri Force Heroes

The Sword in Tri Force Heroes is the Sword used by the Links. It changes appearance when certain Outfits are worn, such as the Sword Suit, the Sword Master Suit, the Dapper Spinner, the Hero's Tunic, Ninja Gi, the Spin Attack Attire and the Tri Suit. While wearing the Fierce Deity Armor, the Sword becomes the Fierce Deity Sword. In addition, the Sword becomes a Telescope while wearing Linebeck's Uniform, and a parasol while wearing the Lady's Ensemble.

Breath of the Wild

The Sword in Breath of the Wild can be obtained randomly from a Treasure Chest dropped by scanning The Legend of Zelda Link amiibo with the amiibo Rune. It is described as a Sword that was once wielded by a hero in an ancient age. Its appearance resembles its design throughout the artwork of The Legend of Zelda.

Being made of metal, the Sword will conduct Electricity attract Lightning during Thunderstorms. It will sink if it is dropped in Water, but it can be picked up again and manipulated using the Magnesis Rune. It is also unable to burn when exposed to Fire or a Scorching Climate.

In the "Stinging a Stinger" episode of The Legend of Zelda TV series, Sleezenose offers Link a Sword as a sign of gratitude for having saved him. Although Link first hesitates to trade it in for his Crissword, Sleezenose explains that anyone who carries the Sword is made irresistible to women, especially princesses. This convinces Link and causes him to immediately hand over his old Sword when he hears Princess Zelda screaming for help. When Link finds Zelda, she is being attacked by a Patra. The young hero, confident about his new Sword, faces an incoming Patra, but one beam from the foe breaks the Sword in half and causes Link to collapse from the attack.

This line has become a famous line throughout the Zelda fanbase, even being referenced in Zelda media, like Hyrule Warriors, where Impa references the line when talking to Zelda.
  • In Breath of the Wild, the line is also referenced in the Sword's Inventory description.

Magic

This section does not meet Zelda Wiki's quality standards.

Please improve it as you see fit. Editing help is available.

This article or section does not sufficiently cite its sources.

Please help improve this article by introducing appropriate citations.

Magic is a force present throughout the The Legend of Zelda series. Magic allows its users to perform spells or special attacks capable of many different things, be they benevolent or otherwise. Certain objects are enhanced by Magic or otherwise magical. The properties, origins and general understandings of Magic remain uncertain.

Forms and Uses

The Legend of Zelda

Magic in The Legend of Zelda can be directly used by Link through the usage of the Magical Rod which allows him to shoot out beams similar to those shot by Wizzrobes. With the addition of the Book of Magic these beams can be enhanced to leave flames in their wake. Unlike later games, the usage of Magic isn't regulated by a Meter or Stamina. Multiple other items, namely the Magical Sword, Magical Shield, Magical Boomerang and Magical Key, are implied to be bespelled in some manner.

The Adventure of Link

Main article: Magic of The Adventure of Link

Magic was first featured prominently in The Adventure of Link.

Known magic-users

Many individuals from a variety of races are able to utilize Magic in some capacity.

Hylians

Hylians are capable of performing Magic due to their "magic-infused blood."^{[citation needed]}

• Link (in games with the Magic Meter and otherwise)
• Princess Zelda
• Dark Interlopers
• Syrup
• Maple

Gerudo

Gerudo are shown to be capable of wielding Magic. Although it is to a lesser extent than some other residents of Hyrule, at least a few different Gerudo have been able to proficiently wield magical abilities. The Twinrova witches Koume and Kotake use Magic almost constantly, as they fly on broomsticks and cast spells seemingly with no effort despite their old age. Ganondorf, as well as his beastly porcine form, have also been extremely capable of powerful Magic in their appearances throughout the series. On the more benevolent side, the Gerudo Champion Urbosa was capable of wielding lightning or electricity at will, an ability that she passes on to Link after she dies in the Calamity.

• Ganondorf
• Twinrova
• Urbosa
• Riju

Gorons

Although few Gorons have been shown to be capable of Magic usage so far, a notable exception to this rule is the Goron Champion Daruk, who before his death was able to generate a protective force field around him at will. This ability was passed on to both his grandson, Yunobo, and after Divine Beast Vah Rudania is cleansed of Ganon's influence, Link.

• Daruk
• Yunobo

Zora

The Zora have not showcased quite so abundant an amount of magical ability as the Hylians, but they do seem to possess some inherent magical qualities. For example, in all games featured in the Downfall Timeline, the Zora appear as almost reptilian fish-monsters, which have the ability to shoot fireballs from their mouths. In other appearances, they do not seem to be able to use magic at all, except for a few key individuals. Mipha, Princess of the Zora in the Era of the Wild, possessed a healing ability that she used to heal anybody in need when she was alive. Unfortunately, during Ganon's siege of Hyrule, she was killed by Waterblight Ganon, her spirit trapped within Divine Beast Vah Ruta for one hundred years. When Link cleanses the Divine Beast of Ganon’s influence, she passes her healing ability along to him. In Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, Sidon displays the ability to control water and shape it into sharks.

• Ruto
• Mipha
• Sidon

Rito

Although the Rito have only appeared two times in the series thus far, they do seem to at least associate with Magical beings. In The Wind Waker, they live under Valoo on Dragon Roost Island. When the Rito reach maturity, they are deemed worthy to climb up the mountain and ask Valoo for their wings. Valoo will grant their wish and give them the ability to fly on most occasions, although when he is greatly agitated by something, such as Gohma gnawing on his tail, he will become too enraged to grant the Rito's wishes. In Breath of the Wild, the Rito appear to be inherently much more bird-like in nature than their The Wind Waker counterparts, eliminating the need to ask any sort of divine creature for wings. However, during the Era of the Wild, Revali seemingly developed his own technique to create an updraft of air independent of local weather. This technique appears to be using Magical to operate, as it is impossible for him to create such a focused and powerful surge of wind with simply his own wings. He passes this ability on to Link after the hero cleanses his Divine Beast, Vah Medoh, of Ganon's evil influence. In the Guardian of Remembrance DLC for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, Tulin displays a similar ability that he dubs "Tulin's Tornado".

• Revali
• Tulin

Twili

The Twili are said to master a powerful shadow Magic. Not only did they create the Fused Shadow,^{[citation needed]} an incredibly powerful Magical artifact, but are often seen using Magical attacks with ease. For example, Midna is able to conjure Magical energy attacks at will with seemingly no strain or discomfort whatsoever.

• Midna
• Zant

Sages

The Sages are a powerful order of Magical beings that serve to protect all of Hyrule against evil. Sages come from many races, which may or not be able to wield Magic. If they come from a Magic-wielding society, Sages are given powers superior to those of their brethren. If they do not come from an inherently Magic-proficient society, they are seemingly bestowed Magical powers.^{[citation needed]}

Hammers, also known as Magic Hammers,^{(ALttP | FSA | TFH)} are recurring Items in The Legend of Zelda series.^{[name references needed]} Hammers go unnamed in Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda. They can be used to press Switches, destroy certain obstacles such as Boulders, or as a weapon.

Location and Uses

The Adventure of Link

The Hammer is found within the Death Mountain region of western Hyrule in The Adventure of Link. It is used to smash large Boulders that are occasionally found in Hyrule's overworld, often unblocking pathways and revealing new objects underneath. It can also be used to cut Trees down in the overworld.

A Link to the Past

A Link to the Past Manual Descriptionhide ▲

Magic Hammer

Use this hammer to pound stakes and other obstacles into the ground. The magic hammer is also effective against some enemies, but it is best used in conjunction with another weapon.

The Magic Hammer is found in the Palace of Darkness in A Link to the Past. It can remove obstacles from Link's path, allowing him to pass into otherwise inaccessible areas. It can be used to dispatch enemies such as Helmasaurs, and is essential in defeating Terrorpins in the Palace of Darkness. The Magic Hammer is also capable of shattering the faceplate of the Helmasaur King. Against most enemies, it deals as much damage as the Master Sword Lv2, but its reach is much shorter. Freezing enemies with the Ice Rod and then breaking them with the Magic Hammer instantly defeats them, often yielding a Magical Decanter.

Four Swords Adventures

Four Swords Adventures Manual Descriptionhide ▲

Magic Hammer

You can smash or bury any stumps in your way. If you store up power and then swing it, the shock of the blow briefly dazes all enemies within range.
Lev. 2
The more power you save up, the farther the shockwave goes.

The Magic Hammer can smash stakes, stumps, and several other obstacles in Four Swords Adventures. By holding the A Button, the Links can charge the Magic Hammer which, upon release, sends out a shockwave which dazes enemies momentarily. It can be upgraded to the level 2 Magic Hammer, which makes it more powerful, sending much larger shockwaves. The Magic Hammer can also knock Force Gems from their hiding spot beneath the soil. Shadow Link can also use the Magic Hammer to interrupt the Links by sending unavoidable but harmless dazes.

Phantom Hourglass

The Hammer can be found in Mutoh's Temple in Phantom Hourglass, where it is used to defeat the temple's boss, Eox. It is also used to pound at objects, including Switches and Springboards that will propel Link into the air if he stands on it and pounds it with the Hammer. It is also one of the most powerful weapons in the game. The Hammer is controlled by holding and moving the Stylus on the Nintendo DS screen, which will drag Ciela around as she aims it and prepares to smash it. It is possible to pound on objects and enemies that are far away from Link. When held for a while longer, the Hammer will grow to a gigantic size and will make a much stronger pound. It cannot be used while on stairs.

The Hammer is an effective weapon against certain enemies. Stalfos can be defeated with the Hammer in a single hit. By using it in conjunction with the Phantom Sword, it is also possible to defeat a Phantom without being seen by hiding in a Safe Zone.

A Link Between Worlds

The Hammer can be rented or purchased from Ravio's Shop in A Link Between Worlds. It is needed to progress through the Tower of Hera. The Hammer can be used to pound Moles into the ground, which then launch Link up to higher grounds, and it is essential to defeat enemies such as Deadrocks and Terrorpins.

If Link buys the Hammer, he can upgrade it to the Nice Hammer by returning 10 or more Lost Maiamais to Mother Maiamai. This form does more damage to enemies and sends out a shockwave to stun them.

Tri Force Heroes

The Magic Hammer deals twice the damage to enemies as Swords in Tri Force Heroes. It creates a shockwave when used, which can destroy Grass and Rocks and stun enemies. The Magic Hammer can be used to pound down stakes, destroy ice crystals, defeat Deadrocks, and make use of Moles.

Magic Hammers first appear in Silver Shrine, in which all three Links acquire one. They reappear in Ice Temple (two Hammers), Desert Temple (two Hammers), Dragon Citadel, and Sky Temple. They also appear in the Scorching Zone, Frozen Zone and Baneful Zone of the Den of Trials, as well as the Coliseum's Ice Cavern and The Ruins arenas. The use of Magic Hammers is required to defeat the Bosses Blizzagia and Stalchampion.

The effects of the Magic Hammer are improved while wearing Hammerwear. This Outfit doubles the item's shockwave size and damage output, while allowing it to be swung quicker.

Breath of the Wild

Main articles: Iron Sledgehammer and Spring-Loaded Hammer

Two different Hammers can be obtained in Breath of the Wild. The first is the Hammer, which can be used both as a Weapon and for mining Ore. The second is the Spring-Loaded Hammer. It can only be purchased at the Fang and Bone for 199 Mon, and it is capable of knocking back Enemies on its fourth hit.

Zelda's Adventure

Non-Canon Information

In Zelda's Adventure, the Hammer is a Spell that Zelda can cast as a projectile with her Wand. It is a slow-moving Spell, but can potentially inflict a lot of damage onto enemies. It is dropped by Warbane after encountering him for the first time in the Shrine of Fire. It costs two Rupees to use.

Hyrule Warriors

Non-Canon Information

Darunia wielding the Hammer

In Hyrule Warriors, the Hammer is a class of Weapon used by Darunia. It is associated with Fire.

A different Hammer also appears as an item in Hyrule Warriors Legends and Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition. This item is mainly used to smash objects, but can also be used as a weapon to attack enemies. It is also used to weaken the Helmaroc King.

Ravio also uses a unique Hammer as his class of Weapon, referred to as the Rental Hammer.

Variations

The default form of the Hammer is the Magic Hammer. The second form of the Hammer is the Igneous Hammer, followed by the Megaton Hammer.

The Lv.★ form of the Hammer is the 8-Bit Food, which is modeled after the 8-bit Food from The Legend of Zelda. It was added to Hyrule Warriors with the Majora's Mask Pack DLC. In Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, instead of appearing as a separate Weapon, the 8-Bit Food replaces the Darkfire Hammer when the "8-Bit Weapons" Setting is turned on in Game Settings within the Settings menu.

In Hyrule Warriors Legends and Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, the fourth form of the Hammer is the Darkfire Hammer, which is associated with both the Elements of Fire and Darkness.

Special Attack

Main article: Special Attack

Darunia performs a quick dance to get himself pumped up. He then swings his Hammer down hard at his foes four times, the final strike causing a small explosion ahead of him. This attack does damage in a small range ahead of Darunia, and carries the Fire Element, making the thrown enemies take additional damage as they land.
